Which one ?
For obvious reasons I won't make a list, but I have 2/3 that just jump form my mind.

on the Development side it explains why it's a quarter of last year stuff.
on the QA side, this year looks better, even if there's some very visible bugs like the broken Guest Passes.

Let see it dates back from Monk introduction ? right ?
And now it's going Wolf for obscure reasons.

if they were that smart they wouldn't fuck up the game on a constant basis.
and user pain at an all time low? sure, thats really fucking easy to say when your userbase is also at an all time low, not to mention the fact that we have all learned that its better to just ignore and let shit roll off our backs rather than waste time dealing with the bullshit customer support

Smart play from bureaucratic point of view, Majmalphunktion, on the other hand, still has that spark, burning flame in his case, that makes him stand out significantly from his colleagues, left in him.
Still remember his introduction to community on offical forums, promise he's made to players. Proved it time and again with his posting there and cojones needed to come post around this place, with same nick as on official board no less. Hat off to him. If he had more authority, he would perhaps make more of an impact, but as it stands out, he still takes things and faults of others personally, even if he knows he can't remedy it.
Sure, software and bugs come in universal package, it's intended that way, we are all aware of that. In a utopian society, just impossible ideal to achieve, all software would be bug free from alfa, beta, v1.0, but that way, there wouldn't be any need for any patches, new versions, and each firm would eventually disappear after initial release.
In this consumeristic, capitalistic/ neo-totalitaristic or maybe imperialistic architecture of society, perfectionism is not worthy of consideration, even if just another unrealistic ideal.

Just a word to him, don't loose sleep, don't take it too personally so it has any negative consequences on Your health, don't give in to the "Big man". Always remember, you're human first, not a worker or employee, act that way, the way you're acting now. No need to compare this game to any other and judge it by that, judge it objectively by looking at the state of this same game at different stages. You say it's in better shape then in 2011., from bug point of view, maybe it is, it's debatable of course, but you can't deny it's lost heart & soul compared to say, 2008. or 2009. version.
When players can't make a difference between bugs and intended mechanism, that's bad, so many sweeping changes in such a short span introduced with each consecutive update, that's bad as well cause of lack of stability. Changing long term plans, and by long term plans I mean a monthly plans as I see it for there just isn't any far reaching perspective that game is headed towards to, except maybe pile up on dollars and abandon ship.

They should really listen to some of the more engaged community members, not "people" like "David". They should leave even negative threads up, if they're civil of course, cause it's just a form of opinion as well, and mostly always it can lead to better insights then hollow praises and artificial plastic posts.
Someone in charge should really post a game state with no twinkles and rainbows included. Devise a game plan with players, because they're the ones they need to cater to and worry about.

So don't, you're entitled to do things the way you see fit.
See if I care about your state of being brain dead, and too lazy to even fucking read something that doesn't have pictures included.

I read it. Your writing needs some work. Mostly your use of commas, and the fact that you drift from idea to idea within the same sentence.

Yeah, you wrote a lot. And you put some good ideas in there. But you communicated it in a fashion which makes it painful to read.

I wouldn't be busting your chops if you weren't getting pissy about it, but you are. It sucked. Deal with it.

Dhalgren wrote on Aug 22^nd, 2013 at 7:20am:



Ah, wasn't even getting pissy, just showed discontent. If I took the time to write it all down in English, not my native language, not even second one, you'd think a yank wouldn't have problems reading it since it's in his mother tongue after all.
Know there are a few kinks in it and it's not that formally constructed, but when writing somethin' passionately, with so many ideas floating in the head, they do tend to get intertwined in their formulation a bit.
Looking at it like that, am quite content how it turned out.

Would love to see You use proper formatting, declinations, conjugations and extensive vocabulary while thinking in English and putting it on paper/screen in Croatian, even after say, cca, 20 years of learning it.
You grammer nazi you 

After all, if this forum is only for Yanks with proper education and knowledgeable in linguistic and narrative skills in their own language, by all means feel free to ignore 80% of members here even country in general. Doubt even half the board knows where Croatia is, or some other European countries.
I'll hold my opinions to myself to do You a favor in that case.

To te pitam rista   

Heh some of the bugs have affected me - but like 90% of them I just shrug and move on, assuming it's on the 'known' list.

My biggest disappointment so far has been that the phoenix  finisher on my monk no longer can res other people - I'd like to see that option return - I'm honestly not sure where the best place is to get that into a devs ear.  It's not a showstopper though

Let see, Tere lives on an Island off the coasts from where I live, it's linked to the mainland with something called the Channel Tunnel.

Azog lives on the other side of the Rhine form where I live.
( that's straight north from Croatia more or less, across the Alps  )

And me I live not far from a puny 300m metal tower.
I know there's at least 4/5 more people from the Croatian side of the Pond that frequent The Vault.

I'm certain we all know where Croatia is hiding...

As for all the Yankees, some of them spent a few years on our side of the Pond, and I'm also certain those have a fair idea where a Former Yugoslavian Republic hides. 

Now if we go into geology... Half of  Croatia ( as well as a bit of Switzerland, a piece of Austria, most of Italy, a tiny part of Bosnia and a portion of Albania ) is not in Europe but in Africa.
( as in standing on a micro-plate that was broken from Africa some million years ago. )

I know you knew as well he wanted to say Geography, but good show with that info as well, learned something.
Pangaea, right, though didn't know details of it.

Touché.

Ty for steering it back on topic.

Doesn't matter where you're from or who the board is for; it was still unreadable. Your English as a foreign language isn't bad; that piece of writing was awful. If someone calls it out for being TLDR; it's not because it didn't include pictures.

I studied in university in Finland, in Finnish, for several years with no prior exposure to the language. Give me 20 years with Croatian and yes, I'd be fine.

And I'm not a Yank.
