And ML.

Guessing but I suspect some of it is ignoring, but some of it is ignoring because they haven't given us the full picture and won't and we might agree that our ideas don't work if we had the full picture, some of it is just business, some of it is lack of resources, some of it personal distaste of individual posters.  Personal distaste is reasonable as while some devs are total sweeties, devs generally are human after all -  if they've been kicked in the teeth by particular posters there may be less inclination to read their posts.

Some of it might be just not responding to every single post, some of it is that saying things in the past has got them into trouble or been taken out of context, or saying things where business needs have changed things so that they can't make promises so safest not to say anything at all .

Yeah - definitely the more people who serve on the council the better. Then you all get to see what it's like - or perhaps more usefull what it's *not* like.

Well the PC as it was originally put was that certain things would go to Lamma and certain to the PC. But to my mind certain things ended up in the PC first because they didn't have enough for the PC to do maybe? Remember management and possibly a business model changed about 3 months into the PC.

There were long periods where a lot of the devs didn't bother with ML either. It felt like ML was shunted off to the side and QA fed their ML minions from time to time and fed back the information to the devs who ignored it or were too busy for it or just didn't want to engage directly with ML people. Same deal with the PC I bet. Possibly day to day busyness it just doesn't occur to them to feed the PC anything, or they just don't think they need a focus group for the types of decisions that they are making at that time. In order to integrate a focus group into their business model/production of this product, they need to have thought about how that is going to work. With the management change it could be speculated that there is just not that much interest in a PC group, or having that much of a focus from users perspective - this is from a management priority perspective. From an individual dev perspective you can see how much and with what they engage with us on the forums how they value us, and which individual devs value us. The others, you don't necessarily know whether or not they value us (by us I just mean general players opinions and not any focus group), as they just don't post so we just don't know.

I'm inclined to be a bit more positive about the silence from what I've seen of what they do post (as per live forums) - certain dev individuals that is. Management? I have no idea.

Do you think half of those retards know what the fuck they are doing?
You would be welcomed with open arms, since those idiots have managed to fuck up the small amount of decency that ddo had in  last few years.

Also, in my honest opinion, any real vet and good player quit ddo long time ago, i was a idiot for hoping that they would make this game proper.
After whole champion idiotism and looking by myself how pointless it is to ask for more difficulty in this game, i just gave up.
I dont have will, energy, nor patience left to log onto ddo.
Friends ask me on forum to do so, at least for chatting, but i dont know, after playing ddo so long and not loging for a while i feel like hmm.
Ah good picture would be, like a chick that was cheated by her bf from false promises, gang raped by him and his crew, and left in some unknown forest while being attached to some tree like jesus.

Thats exactly how i felt after the whole champ idea came out and was nerfed faster then i could smell my fart.
I have no trust anymore in turbine, and honestly, i worked in my life here and there on different spots, and i never saw a company so fucking bad as turbine is.
And pointing that out since i come from one of the most corrupt countries on this world, so i should know what fucking bad company means

Yet, some ppl have said that ddo has the best character customization options of all the available mmo's, and that's why they keep coming back.

When you're complaining about Turbine.. and note, I'm not defending them since I don't have the data available, are you looking at all their games or just ddo?

Personally I'm not a fan of the champs. They could just remove them and come up with something else. Why? I don't need the new variable you're talking about. I'm quite happy knowing how hard the mobs are gonna hit, and how many ee mobs I can handle at a time... without suddenly having a random variable mob in the mix, with TS that hits harder than the end boss.

Oh do post those pictures Gawker. I would be super curious. I'm going to make sure that lots of people see this post.

Here - reply to this post with screenshots.


/eyeroll

Good grief. Someone has their panties in a total twist. You don't seriously think that I thought that other person was for real whose PMs I forwarded to Cordovan?

You are a good example of a bully who doesn't like being called out I suspect

So here I am calling you out again Gawker. Post away. Seriously.

The very same person with achievments proposal is the very same person and my guildie who gave the initial idea about pc that was riped of by turbine.
IT all started with me being angry that there is noting to be done in this fucking game when you get to some point where tring and gear makes no sense, since you have it all.
With me being frustrated and ranting for hours, he only managed to absorb the positive things, modified it and came to the achiement idea.
He is a person who if he worked for turbine, would change the game positively.
But sadly, even if they were to implement this they would fuck it up.
ITs rather sad when you think about the whole fiasco ddo is in.
By listening to casuals and people whose playstyle is to play the game with 0 skill where the game allows them to never fail under the "braindead" playstyle ddos quality is droping beyond average.
I mean i wont rant nor anything, done that to much on motherfuckingmotherforum.
But all i  can say, after playing and soloing epic elites and some raids in ddo, im having a harder time in wasteland then in any quest ever in ddo.
Fucking things rape me in that game, i never have ammo and i fear every encounter.
And comparing my first fight to now is like 2 worlds apart.
In ddo there is no need anymore to learn and improve yourself and if they continue this path they will, themselfs the fucktard community who cant properly play that game and accept the fact that they should improve their skills before asking for nerfs to every single aspect of the game that could be considerd a challenge, totally destroy anything left decent in ddo.

But meh, il be around anytime i need to say a word how retarded turbine is, doubt il play again, unless they stop fucking this game and dedicate the least bit of brain they have to make it a game worth spending money on.
Id currently prolly spend money earlier on some game with barbie n such then on ddo.

The streak is the best which could have happened to DDO. If you want a challenge in DDO you need new content, not recycled stuff. Seriously, you might be the only one giving 1 fuck abnout the LFm and grouping scene. You should realize that enforcing groups is restrictive compared to how the game is played currently. The result is, your opinion on that matter is just one and you should act according to it.

For that one thing you bring up over and over again, I am very happy the PC is ignored then.

I will declare the Player Council to be a permanently retired feature of DDO.

Can folks have an official poll and get it done already?

Is the game too easy or too hard?

a) Too hard, I'm a wimp.

b) Too easy, I'm awesomesauce and NO ONE can be better than me, except Stoddard.

c) Don't care, it's still fun and I like playing.

d) There's a new MMORPG I'd like to promote and it is <insert suggestion here>.

If you are not retarded and play way too much,  THERES NO FUCKING CHALLENGE FOR YOU!

You'll know every quest, every trap, every save spot, every fucking trick.

Depending the class you play the game will be even easier.

I'm lvl'ing an alt as pally to get some fast divine past lives.

THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE, I'VE BEEN RUNNING ALL THE QUESTS ON EE AND I JUST DON'T DIE. 

I'm not a master of all builds like the moron Ledouch but my build is decent and i have some decent gear. I'm not a fucking God but it's still easy.
