What I want to know is: what's the status on those quality of life bugs?

Yeah so not true. I can't tell you how much better it is. I actually don't mind going to work. Can't say the same thing about last year. It may be too late for him to undo some of the stupid over the past 10 months...but I expect a ton less stupid going into next year.

Which one? Cuz I can start listing about 6000 bugs that have been fixed in the last 18 months.

I'm good with that. As long as there is a year after....

Clever. You're almost ready to go head to head with Wujoh. Not quite, though.

I really wish you would come out with the same statement on the actual game forums.  The real problem in giving feedback is that we have no idea what the dev team's intended direction is.  Regardless of what you think the data says, I can guarantee you that what the playerbase wanted from the enhancement pass was a completion of the existing 6/12/18 system with all the prestige enhancements we were promised back before I started playing.  We wanted "trees" that showed us the prereqs for the exisiting enhancements we wanted.  We wanted useless skill requirements dropped.  We didn't want you to make useless skills required.  I read most of the enhancement threads, and I have no idea how you can think that what you have on Lamannia right now is what players wanted.  A simple dev statement that the original prestige/enhancement system wasn't viable because of X would go a long way to make me happy at least.  What it looks like right now is that the current devs don't respect the work of their predecessors and just want to shit all over it.

Being realistic here, it seems that the new cleric tree has satisfied a lot of players.  While I personally don't like it, I won't begrudge the issue if the majority of players do.  However, while I realize you aren't shooting for a perfect system, the sorcerer trees are totally fucked beyond belief and need a major overhaul.  Anyone who says otherwise is a moron and needs to be taken out back. 

Patching the sorcerer trees is the low hanging fruit here, but I hope you realize probably all trees deserve some work and attention.  After the initial release, I hope you continue to refine the system based on player feedback... and NOT on the whims of certain... people.  Take your time.  As long as you are going forward and not backwards, like has been the case for the past year, people will appreciate it.

I have noticed many changes that most people probably have not.  The thing is, nobody gives a shit if you fixed the shield swap PRR bug or if you put extra boxes in Kobold New Ringleader.  Seriously.  Nobody.  Literal zero. 

You need to prioritize WHICH bugs you fix, such as combat archery or the bug where an ability is put on timer but doesn't actually go off.  These are bugs people care about.  Treating the list as FIFO is a huge waste of your own time, and I hope you can understand why people don't care when you say you've fixed 6000 bugs. 

P.S. thank you for your continued service to the Vault!  It is appreciated.

I did fill out the original surveys about the Trees I do care about ( or more exactly of the classes I play ).

Now, 4 weeks later... I see nothing has changed in said Trees. Except that you activated a tree that wasn't active before ( it was appearing as Invalid ) for the Cleric, so that we might forget about the abortion called Protection.

Why should I bother answering the same survey, with the same answers and the same ad-libs, as I know it will have no effect anyway.

6 Weeks ? The guys behind you already wasted 4 weeks and made no changes ( or didn't say : ok we scrap it ) on the most despised trees, you really think we expect any changes in the next 6 weeks ?

GreyMouser/Maj, regardless of how DDO changes over the next year, I'm glad you at least get to have some sanity at work for a while.  Congrats on the new, better working environment.

anything with old system skills is ...for obvious reasons...not being addressed.

Well Maj, honestly:

- kick the Devs in the butt until you get the following :

- Protection Tree Scrapped
- Spellcraft/Heal/Repair Skill Scrapped for Spellpower
- Points Spent in Tree Changed to Points Spent Overall

and you'll get almost everybody happy.

Then the devs will be able to concentrate into adding more trees ( PREs ) where there's not enough of them. ( Clerics, FvS, Bard, , ... )
