Maybe they can't find someone who will work for minimum wage?

Hiring issues aren’t just occurring at McDonalds and Walmart.   Tech companies are having a hard time finding candidates in a lot of cities.  Boston is pretty tough.  My company has a branch office there.  You can get a premium salary and a solid hiring bonus easily in that market.   A lot of jobs are going unfilled.

The fact they do not promote some one is kinda funny.
Either the employees are not qualified or do not want the hassle that goes along with it.
Is there even anyone who has experience on the DDO engine and code?
The people they have seem to struggle with it most of the time.

There you go using professional knowledge, experience, and actual facts Asheras... LOL!

LTP and Nomoreo would much rather write SSG fanfic*, or whine about how mean old SSG is hurting their feels without the encumbrance of facts... or brains... or a decent post.






*Fanfic which verges on the cuckoerotic** in style, I expect LTP to beg Cordovan to step on their sack with his stilettos at some point in the near future.


**The kink*** where losers get off giving all their agency away and being abused


***Not judging****


****To be clear I'm not judging the particular 'kink' but as always am judging the two Vault Fuckwits Nomoreo and his sock LatetoPerception

Hey Dungborn, what’s it like being such a drooling idiot that you’re the only one here that doesn’t realize that nobody here likes you, nor takes you seriously?

But hey, at least your simp ass has somewhat reduced the dumbfuck “lmfao” useage.

But seriously though, go choke on dick in an alley somewhere…perhaps the same one your mom works.

Its this one. Think about it: Coco wasn't qualified to do the job, you think one of his underlings is?

So I was just reading the dev tracker because I hate my free time, and it occurred to me that I think I've identified a big part of the problem.

Let's take for example one of the recent positive changes we all ignored because it was vastly overshadowed by insanely negative changes. As part of the generally terrible loot revamp, they also updated and improved the old Epic loot, as well as making a lot of the stuff BtA instead of BtC and making it gobs easier to obtain. I haven't done the math to figure out if its better than ML15 Sharn sets just yet but who knows?

What's missing from that is some acknowledgement of why this change was made. Namely, words to the effect of "We listened to your feedback". SSG always insists that every good idea was their idea and theirs alone, and never ever admits that player feedback plays a role in the decision-making process.

The sets have the same power overall (big mistake) the items based power is better too, but are weaker than lvl 21 borderlans items, someone said in the discord that raid items should have the extra level power as the legendary raid items have right now, but I guess that didnt make it. ( so raid lvl 20 items are at least as powerful as Borderlands

Hmm, sounds like KotB items will be getting the nerf-bat next.

Still, there's a pretty sizable difference between 20 and 21, so even if its only for a level its nice to be able to change out your gear. If I've been wearing the same shit since lvl 15 I really want something fresh by the time I hit 20. And thanks to the ED changes, we can expect 20 to 21 to be a slog.

They should just get someone new in the staff who has no history with the game and hire back all the original coders without having to have a cock size war and just get the shit fixed.   You could hire them on a temp basis or just hire them and pay well so they stay.  Also hire a master hacker and pay him even better so when they leave you have something to hold over their head so they don’t fuck with shit from some back door bullshit. 

It’s like putting off the way you know it must be done right, but you don’t feel like it because it’s harder.  Rip off the bandaid.  I also get that it’s probably harder to do without causing losses to all those who paid for shit and put tons of time into characters to allow them to be brought over to any newly coded version of the game.

Bottom line is I always picture it like someone is too cock proud to go say sorry to whoever they fucked that wrote the original code.

If they're too proud to admit they listened to player's feedback they are DEFINITELY too proud to admit they need to hire back the original coders. Even if somehow those people were available, willing to do the work, and still remembered enough to be useful, they can't undo ten years worth of poor game decisions.

It's a nice fantasy, but some dicks just can't be un-sucked.

Oh for fuck sake man... And you know they are too proud how? and more importantly... what the fuck? Now they have to tell players how special and helpful their suggestions are? do you have any idea how corporations work?  And here is a news flash; most rational people would be entirely satisfied with a game that ran moderately well, all this "they are too proud to acknowledge what special and clever snowflakes we are" is fucking beyond pathetic, it's borderline insane.

Fucking get a grip and stop posting this bullshit. It's like having to read about some fucking broken-hearted simp's breakup before you can get to the real news on a page, so fucking weak.

The thing is, they can't admit that player feedback had any impact.  It only encourages the peons.  Can't have that.

Yep. I guess that's the real reason for the name change: "Turbine: Powered by our Fans" tends to imply some level of listening to said fans.

They were either earlier coders or coders from other games that were notoriously bad.

Lol. 
Diligent/Stupid combo?

General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord
Quote:
“I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent — their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy — they make up 90% of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent — he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief.

I wouldn't call anyone at SSG stupid and diligent. Stupid and lazy makes up their entire repertoire, with the possibly exception of whoever nerfed horses. That shit came down so fast it had to be someone with talent in all the wrong places.

That was a company started by Fernando and Kate Paiz. They started it after they "left" DDO a few years ago.

Modern game companies do this.

do you have any idea how corporations work?


By either providing the consumer with what they want or convincing them they need what the corporation is peddling.

SSG falls short in both of these categories.

Do you know what a focus group is brah?  Brand trust?  Customer feedback?  Do you follow trends brah?  Do you know the importance of a good marketing campaign brah?  Do you rep brah?

It’s ok, neither do SSG.  You’re clueless enough it wouldn’t surprise me at all to find out you’re a dev.

I am especially curious how EG7 will react. Given how many people quit after U50 though I wonder if they'll pick up on exactly which change fucked the dog.

I haven't been playing much in the last year and have just made it back to cap after the gear nerf. Wow they hit that shit hard. Were they trying to make cannith crafting relevant to endgame again? The changes to the numbers were pretty large.
