Reintroductions and reflections.

[Kragg]

The silent majority? Well, removing torque would be a good step. But let's not forget about his right hand man, his so called 'dog of war' Wargrim. They both probably just have very sad and difficult lives and have to vent using the power they have on this server. We should take pity upon them. Maybe making torque only able to work on DB and removing wargrim and having a head GM that cares about the community, someone like Github, would be the best thing to do.

Toxic. How the hell is this contributing towards a better understanding between Dev team and community? You are not busy closing the gap but widen it.

Im happy you're back even though I sometimes couldn't agree with you in the past, which is why I don't post often unless its just for "Kicks". But you know what damn it, it's good your back because you were instrumental in many things that made this possible. Im so happy you're looking at making moral as it was in live, as well looking into balance. I have a few proposals for the class I play the most but I won't be giving them out yet and im going to wait respectfully until I know I can pitch Ides. (I dont care if they don't happen I just don't wana have someone flame me for asking for or seeing if somethings can be changed. They are not huge either lol.)

As much as I like torque... He is kind of a "****" when you ask for anything, and he has a holier than thou attitude. Now I know he works hard and I consider him my friend, but still ever since you left he has gotten less and less friendly and it makes me sad. (I really enjoyed our talks and miss my friend, I hate that I Feel so distant from him :/) You're apology and reflections are good and Im happy to know your doing well; Im hoping I will see you in game my dude. Welcome home <3.

Oh and since Im here can we PLEASE get rid of nerf buttons now, torque said it would come once the launcher was live. It's live. It needs to go because its allowing for global cooldown bypass; BW's, AM's and most other dot classes are abusing the hell out of it and im getting blown up with every single dot they have. I've brought it up before but people really don't like it being called out (Im sure because they use it.) Thanks again bro, again welcome home and hope to see you in the WAR!

Seems like the topic is going in a wrong direction. Lets be adults about it, and move on. Whats done is done. We all make mistakes, i am a perfect example of that, trust me. There is no need to name and shame.

About NB. You obvs dont know how it works, so you should do some more research before you trash it. NB wont make you BLOW up people, maybe its just a L2P issue from your side, and you feel the need to blame NB. Some hate it, some love it, and i fancy it.

There we go labeling other people’s opinions as “toxic” or “cancer”. You sure you aren’t a staff member? There is a reason the player base has halved in the matter of a few months and the NA presence has all but disappeared. That doesn’t happen by accident. Aze may be able to save it but he knows he’s got his work cut out for him and the people currently in charge aren’t/haven’t done him any favors.

Maybe the masses don’t know what’s gone on behind the scenes and don’t know any better but the reality is A LOT of people left for a reason. Time to adresss it, which I believe (hopefully) is what’s going to happen.

Your post was amazingly well-written & exciting Aza; and I'd love to come back to RoR... as soon as Torquemadra is no longer on staff. Until then, nah.

(You have no idea how many people I speak for)

You are acting the very way you seem to despise so very much, you realize that? How about you cut down on the comments about their private lives, and keep it civil.
Things are tense and all, but that's no excuse to make such claims about people you don't know and haven't interacted with ~ RL Staff != internet persona you deal with, surely sometimes things carry over (bad day, yadayada), but you are no exception to this, are you?

Would you consider it reasonable if your RL was brought up in a discussion about your antics on an internet forum?
IF it were to be the case that RL is hitting you hard and **** you sideways, there wouldn't be any reason to add insult to injury by rubbing it in ~ it wouldn't serve any purpose, but to make mockery of onself (as does any behaviour discussed i thus thread, cue cycle of stupid) and needlessly escalate the situation beyond the point of mere conflict.

It will inarguably be quite unpleasent to read this thread, regardless of how thick their skin is ~ strechting it further by adding a new layer is beyond good and evil.
Be straightforward and speak your mind, but show some discipline in doing so ~ bring on pathos and bantz, not cheapshots.

The fact that this thread hasn’t been locked and half the participants aren’t banned in some way is a sign of progress I think....

Few posts was already cut out. And if its lasting progress or temporary band aid...

look to the ban appels, wargrimmir wrote many things why he is ban, because he ask many times with diffrent forum names.

Okay, from this point on I suggest you just provide ANY evidence of that, in the form of maybe quoting, screenshotting, linking or otherwise proving that statement. The first appeal clearly states the ban was without reason, completely random, and was lifted. The only thing wargrim wrote of relevance other than that, is that he would have let the ban stand if ANY reason was included with the ban. Now that in itself should set off some alarms for all the players on this server.

The second "appeal" was an attempt at finding out why the first ban happened, as again, there was no reason for it. From there the ban was restored by Yali on grounds of Hao being a troll. Again, this despite the fact he has had no forum activity for about 7 months or broken any rules in-game.

Now Yaliskah tried his best to give some form of reason for reapplying the ban, but the whole wall of text contained nothing relevant. But at the end of the day it's all irrelevant really, the first ninja ban already sealed the deal, who is gonna bother supporting a private server that permanently bans players out of nowhere with zero communication or reason of any sort.

Last Thursday spawned a very lively NA session, and it's honestly been getting better/more fun since some of the population left and as summer has been coming to a close.
