Update 41 patch 2 Abridge (you bastards)
Jan 22nd, 2019 at 4:07am
Print Post  
Fixed numerous Dungeon Alert issues in Thrill of the Hunt due to monsters being aggro'd behind closed doors. *
Fixed a bug with Aloysius Cornwall that made his rescue fire early in Thrill of the Hunt.**
Fledren Hull in Thrill of the Hunt has more hit points.***
NOT MENTIONED IN RELEASE NOTES: Boxes removed from Thrill of the Hunt****

*Tried and failed.  You still pull aggro through the doors.
**Achieved...ish.  You can no longer rescue him before fighting the howler...because that was such a fucking priority in the game.
***So, what?  You guys finally fucking play your own quest 5 plus years after releasing it?  I can finally rack up an extra 2k XP, it makes it all worth wild.
****Fucking seriously?!!  I mean, fucking seriously?!?!

This is a fucking issue with you people?  This?!  Really?!  I could rattle off two dozen things that need attention to make the game more playable off the top of my head without trying and this is what you fucking throw time and resources at?  Something that only the biggest fuck-tard paladin on the forums would barely consider an exploit?

Half the fucking time I can't even tell if I'm alive or where I am on Lag Hill, I'm just blindly button mashing, hoping I'm killing things faster than they can kill me - but THANK FUCKING GOD casters can no longer jump on a box in Thrill of the Hunt.

And God forbid we be able to use the environment or tactics to our benefit in a quest.  Let's just all stand in a fucking giant room with mobs of monsters being broken aggro pulled through doors and call that a challenge.

Hey, here's a quest design that you might like (and would totally suck).  You run down a corridor full of mobs to a giant room full of mobs.  Next, you run down another corridor full of mobs to a shoe-box sized room full of mobs.  Repeat ad nauseum.

Oh wait, I can think of a few of the packs over the past couple of years that used that exact formula and they fucking sucked.

How about you fix the glitchy as shit bank interface you guys fucked up a few years back when you over reacted to duping before "fixing" "exploits" in barely run quests?

Get your shit together.

You forget that this fixes are done by an intern that gets absolutely no pay for his work and even has to bring his own coffee and chips. But without interns they would get nothing done.
The BIG problems get handled by devs and they are so far down the rabbit hole, they don't know their arse from their heads.
And SSG doesn't even know how communication is spelled. I bet they employ a kindergarden teacher to show them how to write some.

Long story short: I feel your pain but holding on to hope is useless with this company. Embrace the void. Deep breath and fall forward. Bon voyage.

What this tells us is they are keeping busy with absolute bullshit busy work to attack Thrill of the Hunt this much.

Why busy work? Because they have no idea how to fix important shit so they have to find dumb ways to spend their time.

I know you're shocked.

God forbid they spend their time making better content instead of "fixing" things like this.

I just had the pleasure to run through the dragonblood prophecy quests for the firs ttime..........and if you loved the "run down hall, pack of same mobs........repeat over and over" paradigm.........boy have I got great news for you!

I still haven't bought rage or WPM since they haven't been on sale, I hope they are better.

But THANK GOD I have to fight that howler first now. Man, I was about to rage quit over that!

If you are talking about Lynnabell that is no longer true, she interned in the past, but is now a full time employee developer....

I suspected it goes down something like this:

Devs:  Here's a long list of broken things in our game we can slowly fix.  How about making ToEE suck by at least 25% less so people don't feel so cheated by buying it?

Jerry:  Username Whining Lord Dumbfuck of the Paladin Brigade has been complaining about the boxes in Hunt and I think he has a strong argument that it counts as an exploit.

Devs:  Exploit?!  We'll start there.

Lynnabell has been pretty darn great for the game and community, it was great to see someone so enthusiastic get a job that way.

You know I don't think it qualifies as being a swinger if your wife sleeps with a lot of other men while you sit at home playing a computer game. I think the technical term is cuckold or something.

No, not talking about Lynn. But I am sure there are other interns. There must be, right?

Un-called for.

And this coming from a guy who just had a woman leave his guild because I was too sexist.

Lynn is probably the only staffer at DDO that is not actively despised by the devs or the community.

She actually plays the game and has been responsible for a bunch of QoL improvements as well as  being the only credible and active liaison between SSG and the player base.

Which are all minor fucking miracles. The fact that she has defenders on the Vault of all places should tell you everything you need to know about her track record.

There's certainly one cunt around here, but it ain't her.

I'm not an SSG fanboy/girl at all but I think that's very harsh.  I love the way Lynnabel listens to and talks to us, and fixes things where she can.  It makes me feel like my voice is being heard finally.

Think of it this way.  Lynnabel has been mostly tasked with dealing with loot (new/old) and some minor fixes (text, blocked boxes etc).  If I had a new-ish dev, I might have them start on a quest like Trill that for the most part would be minimally breakable.  I'm hoping that this dive into the spaghetti code of the quests might get her up to speed on doing some real quest fixes.

Half of the stuff Lynn does, is bugged. But she fixes most of it, too. She just talks about her work, the others don't. That gives the impression she touches base with the players.

This game has so much baggage piled up and because fixing it properly is too expensive, this landfill will topple over in the near future, spewing all the crap everywhere.
They are not able to secure the most important mechanic (TR) in this game for month, even years now.
