Trytard, that's a new one. I like it.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

They did type those letters in that order with the correct spacing. Once. That was the beginning and end of it.

Was really funny watching them specifically ask "could we get some suggestions on VIP improvements", get over a hundred pages of suggestions, then propose a plan that used exactly none of it.

To be fair; the average feedback discourse from the DDO playerbase is about as schizophrenic as a psych ward.

DDO has a vast array of players from the extreme casuals to the paywhales and then the sweatlords at the far extreme.

Every player values things differently.

I agree they could have used some of that feedback, but at the same time even the sample size of the Player's Council for instance is still a mess of 12-25+ people at any given time.

Even yes men value things differently.

Oh please.  Like the Player's Council is even relevant.

All true, but it also doesn't take much objectivity to look for the common ground.

I was heavily involved in the discussions for VIP improvements, and every single person from the casuals to the paywhales to most of the sweatlords(minus one retard who plays naked) agreed we needed vastly more storage. Similarly most players(minus a few extremely vocal fucktards) agreed teleport to quest would be a very valuable perk.

There were a dozen others but it was not hard to find something 90 percent of the player base agreed on. Combine 5-6 of those perks and you've got something 100% of the player base wants.

Contrast to the proposed VIP "improvements". The objective assessment was about 90% negative, 10% "I'll pay SSG to shit down my throat so it doesn't matter how bad this is". Literally no one actually liked it.

At this point in time I wouldn't be shocked if the reason SSG doesn't add more storage regularly is due to the same reason Blizzard shit the bed with Diablo 4's storage, and as we've heard in the past few months seems to an ass backwards industry standard in multiplayer games with trading to load all inventory items and storage at all times.

Can you elaborate on this bed defication? I don't play Diablo IV.

If you’re heavily involved in discussions about making the game better, than at least there’s a good reason for the current state.

If you need more bank space in this game, you’re gay and retarded.

I pretty much described it as is.

All inventories in that game are loaded per player at all times. There's no distinction between character inventory and character bank storage. It has both loaded constantly, hence the game lags when you're around other players in an always online shared world game lol...

I wouldn't be shocked to learn that DDO ironically does similar.

Used to. This was the whole point of the bank changes to take them off the player and loaded on demand.

The result was they could make more bank space available but they are so bad at monetizing they still havent got round to doing it yet.

Inventory is loaded at all times so they will never again increase it.

Gotcha. Yeah. That falls under the list of "who could have seen that coming? Oh. Everyone."

They did. They added a whole 40 slots of character bank space at twice the usual price, no discounts for 3+ years, and then later a whopping 20 extra shared bank slots for $200USD. They are THAT BAD at monetizing. Or the system is so fucked that all that work they did only allowed them to add another 60 slots.
