Confessions of a Mournlander...

Print Post  

Not that anyone cares, but I was in the Mournlands program from February 2011 to the present day.

At no time did I stop participating in the vault, and quite openly as well.

Ass kissing and yes-manning were the last things on my mind.



A few notable events where I was heavily involved giving feedback that was acted on:

I'm sorry I missed the Cloak of Ice, I listed as many good clikies as I could remember to escape being nerfed.  They were gonna change them all.  Every.  Last.  One.

AC was really gonna get fucked.  A lot of arguing made PRR, dodge, etc happen.  It's still not where it needs to be but things could have been much worse.

I was a pretty big example to use for wings getting nerfed.  Too much kiting during the testing of new raids.  Sorry about that.

I didn't pay close enough attention to alchemical crafting
in the cannith raids.  We helped it along a bit and I regret not doing more.

Well, I will say thank you for trying your best to save as many clickies as possible.

Thanks for doing your best for this Smiley

I think the alch crafting is okay, it's just that the run up sucks.

So they have told the last batch of MLers that they can now freely discuss things.

I wonder if they will tell the ex-MLers that they can now come clean on why they were booted... should make for some fun tales.

And I dont think anything MLers said convinced them to change things they werent already open to changing.

I wish you could go into more detail on how turbine really tried to fuck things up. Those are great tales for sure.

I tried to save guild slots and was told those are for elitist pricks, "no one" used them.

Sad

Sounds like turbine, go through all the trouble to implement something, only to phase it out since no one uses them.

I thought the real last straw for getting wings nerfed was that solo VOD video that got posted back in the day. That might've just been my impression of events though.

We can only discuss things from a personal perspective and there are still some limits on what can or cannot be discussed.

I had the impression they were nerfed due to the last phase of LoB and people crying foul like Shade.

Thank you for being able to tolerate more of the bullshit then I was able to - and for trying to make the game a better one.

All the bitching you've done about Turbine killing raids, and it turns out it was all your fault?

#irony


Also, FUCK YOU for getting wings nerfed.

You should close down the defense channel. It was founded on LIES.

Anyone else think they're allowing ML people to self-identify to take the heat off the player's council?

Changes to the NDA were discussed at the same time we were told about the PC and closure of ML.

IMPO, the ONLY difference between ML and the PC is the fact that the PC names are known from the outset.

Nope.  ML is being shutdown in 24 hours or so. Its more that its pointless caring beyond that point.

Yeah the moment we were told about shutdown we started asking about removing part of NDA. We just got final word today, and ML forums shut down on Wed.

I for one am very glad to hear ML wasn't completely ignored. I'm still on the fence with regards to believing Turbine has the ability to get over themselves and listen to their customers, and hearing about things they listened to inclines me to give them the benefit of the doubt.

So to all of you Mournlanders who made an honest effort, even if you didn't stay the full duration or avoid all of the train wrecks, thank you.

And to all of you Turbine employees who actually listened to them and gave due consideration to their arguments, even if you didn't take their advice in the end, thank you as well.

Aw hell, it's the Vault and I can't leave you actually feeling good about yourselves, so Turdbin, you're still a cluster of morons, you're just not an irredeemable cluster of morons  Wink
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.
