Reintroductions and reflections.

[Tesq]

Ah well more than anything some trasparence for exemple on pets stats and on other things.

Can't feedback anything if we dont know.how.some.things go.

Yet i will repeat what i always said to your ab implementation, they usually go in the right direction tought they are always too strong for exemple dot avoidance, instead yes/no it could had been half the % so for exemple 70% / 45%.(direct hits/ dot).

The same can be said for dok/wp ab it wasgoing in the right direction but lack refinement and dmg / heall separation

Anyway the concern is more about healers have too way advantage (and only them) on disrupt rather than all classes way too much disrupt and so revert dot changes.

On the handling on stuff i think everyone will be happy of the change , of course this will help the comunity to chill down too.

Gl with the return

Use a community communication person/account and keep all developers anonymous. I don't need to know or keep track of egos/pride/self-importance or responsibility/etc. No blame/accountability needs to be assigned or taken.

Let the game speak for itself.

Peace.

You made my day, welcome back Aza!

In actual fact, I neither deny nor attempt to combat anything. If I have any issue with the Apocalypse server, it's that they are attempting to pass the work of myself and others off as their own, but Return of Reckoning doesn't have, and never had, the moral right to be the only WAR server, especially given that we don't adhere to 1.4.8. I do regret that rather than working on their own product, they had to resort to using a leak of the work done by RoR, but that is water under the bridge.

The existence of competition is a good thing for everyone involved for exactly the same reasons as in the real world. I wish Apocalypse every success, though I would suggest that you are premature in judging its staff before they have had the chance to demonstrate their attitude and produce and handle conflicts, because there are people who used to think Return of Reckoning's administration was benevolent and wonderful as well.

I am here to do what I can with the power that I have. I am not God and I cannot strike down those you or I may dislike. If I cannot please you, then I sincerely hope that you find satisfaction on Apocalypse.

Interesting read. Welcome back Azarael

[catholicism198]

Does this mean we'll be seeing a revised melee DoK/WP healing .ab ex soon?

and Welcome Back. (Officially)

[Dolo]

I would like to see some kind of overview for what behavior you can get banned for. Got temporarily banned myself for asking for pig mounts for dwarfs. (no joke) Which is kinda off the top.

Anyways welcome back.

Hey Azarael, glad to hear you are back. I must say I never liked you, but after you left the project, RoR became a dictatorship. We were not able to argue (not flaming,trolling,crying) anything about balance because some dev could wisper you asking to stop or something could happen. We were not able to help to this project, none wanted our opinion as some Dev said: We are just testers. Okay. Also, some changes in the game were just stupid, and I know is hard to manage, but some things are more than obvious. Apo offers what we loved of WAR: to be the closest thing of retail, and no Godmode from Devs. I really wish you the best because you are not that bad, but till some stuff changes in the staff we have an alternative that is quite nice for some of us. Cheers

That's absolutely fine. Return of Reckoning cannot simultaneously be 1.4.8. and a modified version of the game, and there will always be people with their own preferences.

dok/wp

I think that should be left alone for a while. My immediate focus is on what I outlined above.

I could look up whatever reason was given, but I suspect it was more than an offhand comment about pig mounts. The guide we have for infractions is not set in stone, it's a guide for dealing with different types of behavior. Publishing a list of specific infractions with ban durations and the like would serve only to give people a measure to weigh their actions against. I hardly think that sort of information is necessary for the vast majority of players on the server, and would only provide real benefit for the people that we might not be interested in providing a service to anyway.
