Mobo Wailing and Gnashing of teeth

So I have just spent fifteen minutes lowering my intelligence by reading Pyscoblonde's and others idiotic defense of the changes.
But the posts that struck me were from two separate accounts claiming to have provided the resources for the two biggest guilds on hard core, stating that they are gonna cut out based on the changes.
Does anyone thing the SSG sheltered workshop will take this seriously? Or even look at the account data to substantiate it?

They don't take anything seriously.

They say they do, but if the players express an opinion that is contrary to their decision, it's not ever because the player has a valid point, it's because the player "doesn't understand".


Hope Lynabell is happy.  It seems she's damn good at her job job and now one of the rock stars.

1) Clearly, I don't understand.

Selected a forum label that connotes female gender, prefers to identify using He/Him.
Sure, the connotation is not strong.
Arguably, "AdamBell", "MatthewBell", "RobertBell", and "Jaynne" were available and better choices if clarity were important.
Nope, go with Lynabell instead.


2) Rockstars can identify as he, she, turtles, razor blades, or cell phone chargers.  Doesn't change anything.

Don't let their actual plumbing or choice of pronouns distract you.

I can't be bothered looking completely into it, but are they seriously considering bringing back the hardcore server? 

I know their level of cluelessness includes having people in senior management positions that can literally say "well, if I learned anything in my 6 years of managing a game stop" but fucking come on. 

They literally don't know if they made or lost money on it the first time around.  Even an initial boost in revenue from subscriptions can easily be offset into the negatives by the loss of sales and subscriptions from people that didn't want to waste their time playing on the 8 other fucking empty servers.  They need at least a six month sample of comparing previous year's trends to begin to know if they actually made or lost money on this.

And they need to be hyper aware that each time they bring it back it will bring in less subs than the time before and do increasingly more damage to the other servers.  Once a year for only a month would probably be a good idea.  Every minute past those 30 days is just going to speed the death of the game.

She is a bad. Whatever she has said was always wrong, and because of her inability to be good, every thing she thinks is bad. She doesn't know that she is bad, because her level of self awareness is bad. I'm sure people have told her many times before that she is a bad, but she is too bad to understand why she is bad and how to fix it. Anything that heifer-looking bitch posts should be laughed at and made fun of.

She's a brain-dead, actual fucking 2Head dumbass that can't put any forethought into any constructive criticism. At least fatherpirate knows how to shitpost but even that gets old with all the whiners.

SSG is going to do what they said they were going to do. Just like when many people were upset about the xp changes. If anything, expect less buffs to the things they said they would buff like bows, the, and pallies.

This is the official thread on the balance changes that also mentions they were partly due in preperation for Hardcore season 2.


This post by someone on the mobos summed up the quotes well.


It would appear the Hardcore Servers were a great success for SSG. Be prepared for multiple upcoming seasons.

Thanks for tracking that down for me.  So they really are that stupid.  Was fun while it lasted.  I used to think I invested too much money into DDO to move on to a new MMO.  This year has been a real wake up call that I can't afford to invest more money into DDO on the path they're on.

Yeah, she ranks up there with (Thud? Turd? Whatever his fucking name is) as far as major reasons I stopped bothering trying to add constructive criticism to the mobos.

Clearly any turdbin employee is an "it", since it is the correct term to refer to pets.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Re: Lynnabel.  If you present your case for change with logic and do it politely, I've found her to be the most reasonable, open minded and responsive dev to interact with.  In the past week I've brought three issues to her attention that she's been eager to address: ditching the sunburst proc from Everstar as a QOL improvement, fixing LGS throwing daggers so they work with IPS against stationary targets, and addressing the unintentional movement when using Celestial Mandate.

Technically.

Lynnabel's real name was "Ellen" when she first started to intern at SSG. Then, somewhere along the line, she started to identify as a he and now goes by a male name - Quinton.

Steelstar replied to me asking about the race and sex of my build guessing that it's somehow race animation related.

It's been 3+ months since that reply and ... crickets.

I've learned to tank Forgewraith Titan on the left side, so Celestial Mandate/Draw them out wouldn't drop me in lava anymore...

But the most weird is the the original Lynn had a crush on a specific Dev.
