LOL Mem.  the diehards can not tolerate dissent.  That is why they are on a constant crusade to get people banned who do say everything is roses and sunshine.

And really some of the worst of the worst are the ones lashing out at you.  You are interrupting their attempt to strut and brag about how 'great' they were for the game after all Smiley

Oh, I know it. Smiley And to be fair - I don't blame any MLer who is a bit peeved at me. I wasn't nice, and I wasn't intending to.


But, it's still funny when I get PMs from folks threatening to "out" my ML activity here on the Vault. I don't think I've ever been less then honest about the fact that I didn't participate much - but used my time there to dig into their forums and learn as much as I could about the Dev/Player interactions. I may not have said much - but I learned a lot.

And yet, some former MLer thinks that somehow that and the fact that I paraphrased Ned Flanders in my first ML post "Hidely ho, Mournlandareenos! as something that would shame me. Smiley

Shit, I have very very little shame in me. Y'all have read my posts over the years. lol

Memnir draws a lot ire because he was there for a very short period of time and gave very little feedback. And then was gone only to turn up here bashing us when he knew full well we couldn't respond, and now that we can respond he is giving us a spiel about reading past threads and feeling his input wouldn't matter. Had he simply said that 2 years ago and nothing more then we would have simply written him off as someone who didn't like the experience and left.


Oh, I did - I jsut didn't do it on the Turbine forums (and break the NDA), or on the ML forums. I did so here. And I took the opportunity to "bash" ML because it's how I feel about it as a whole. Sorry if that pisses in some ML player's cornflakes - but such is life.

I said ML was stocked full of Yes Men, because it fucking well was stocked full of Yes Men. Was everyone there an obsequious little suck-ass - no. But, the majority of people were handpicked because they were. That's also why Eladrin never wanted me there.

Go on and feel about me how you want, I honestly don't care. Smiley But, if you made assumptions about me after I left ML - then you are being a hypocrite for thinking I did likewise.

Odd, you must have been speed reading. Funny enough while what you have said may or may not be true, the kiss-arse part is funny when rereading all your posts made on ML Cheesy It comes across very differently when read altogether. I'm not pissed off though, it's not important enough for me to be.

Either way, the reason we were there was to cover all bases, anything else would have been 'yes-men' for real (whether all yes or all no). It was nothing like that. I've always enjoyed the conversations here about us because most of those coherent enough of us, know what DDO could have been like without the arguments. Read the thread's progress on live and see how at the throat everyone was. I guess we could always go onto name calling and sexual preferences but I prefer substance over rap.

Can't have a unified front to Devs. Need friction between the PC to generate ideas. Look at ML's friction to see the good it did (when we were listened to) You need a moron there because everything needs a baseline. when you start agreeing you know you have group think on the go.

Actually we had a lot of fun trying to convince the devs to make arkats item cursed with something called the curse of the vault or something along those lines

or instead of an item have him be a named orange troll

I could see his lines now

Arkat: Look its adventurers
Rort Rotseer: Your not fooling anyone Arkat

Ok, I'm game :

The delay in Divine Crusader is probably because of us. .

I'm waiting for you.

Edit : oh and I'm probably going to post Tobril's Wall'oText about raiding somewhere else if it's not already there. ( I can use it, Tobril ?  Roll Eyes )

Nice list, Tobril,

I'd add put some kind of fucking teleporter in a la TOD for Lord of Blades and MA - running through 2 lameish explorer areas gets very old. I don't raid now, but when I did I just didn't have the patience for the hour and a half or so for everyone to get their ducks in a row, often before the raid started. I quite liked LOB (meh on MA) but getting there was way too much of a PITA.

I agree with Tobril's raid suggestions.

Improving present content would be much, much more efficient than making new content.

It's just like in my line of work... Making old stuff better is a lot easier than making new wonky stuff.

Make every epic raid drop epic raid tokens, which can be used to add GUILD SLOTS (yes, I love those, too) onto any item, with escalating costs per size. Make the number high enough that it'll feel rewarding when you get one done. But don't make it ridiculously high that it'll just not be worth the effort *coughCOMMENDATIONSOFVALOURcough*.

That said, damn you for killing my wings.

No, it wasn't.

1) Lets Talk Thread mentions redoing whole sphere.  Same is mentioned on ML thread.
2) ML sees DC first.  Mentioned again.
3) Lamma/PC sees DC.  Mentioned again.
4) I bumped the thread in ML asking why they didn't do it right the first time when that exact suggestion had been mentioned for months in every means of feedback.  Dev responded why.

It wasn't until the live player base saw it and complained that an executive decision was made to spend more resources on the project.  This process repeats itself constantly.  Enjoy being on the PC and seeing your suggestions frequently overlooked until the masses complain about it.

Teh_Troll may get away with it. They seem to put up with his rubbish posts - possibly because some of the time he was moderately amusing.


and his non stop whining about monks is getting unbearable. it'd be nice if they'd delete the posts he does it in from now on just to piss him off more
