Out of curiosity, what dictates priorities? Every person playing/testing RoR have their own unique perspectives on what is important and what is not. I know that there haven't been many developer polls on what the community thinks are priorities and I understand why, because they take time to make and use.

I assume that all the developers meet up and discuss the future of the project, or at least I hope they do, and in the discussion they talk about priorities for the project. That way two developers are not working on the same thing or trying to fix something that isn't necessary to be fixed.

The reason I ask the question is because for me personally, and others in the thread, group queue is essential to the RoR project but not the developers. While the blue items from PQ influence rewards, with said PQs that don't work most of the time, are prioritized by the developers while I couldn't care less, since the PQs don't work. I don't understand why at one point you prioritize the PvE aspect of the game over the PvP/multiplayer section of the game? ;)

You'd assume incorrectly. For all purposes there are two active coders on this project, barring a surge of activity from Max that I am currently unaware of. :P I don't consult with nal about what he's working on, as he usually dedicates his time to new features whereas I am working on combat / PvP and general issues. This generally ensures neither of us try to do the same thing at once. My intentions are often broadcast around the internal Skype shared by all staff and some testers, so I guess that works.

Priorities are determined by my own experiences playing the game and feedback I receive on the forums and from the testers. Most of the time, my priorities and those of the majority are in alignment, but in this specific case (group queuing) they haven't been - I regard the instability of the server in mass PvP as a top priority issue. It seems many disagree.

I wouldn't say that group queue is not essential - I merely disagree that it was needed right this second.

Otherwise, the reason you see itemization being worked on is because a different team is responsible for handling database issues, and they determine their own priorities. I imagine they prioritize fixing accessible content over pushing forward with the setup of pending zones and areas.

Don't reward people for their whining Azarael, it will only encourage them, stick to your guns. The silent majority appreciates you and the rest of the devs. I'm sorry for some of the s*** you have to put up with while recreating this great game for us.

On a side note it's nice to see you talk about the lvl 20 heal meta. +1.

The reason it's a problem is there are no good incoming heal debuffs, while there are things such as group heals, guards, and detaunts galore. That's why balance suffers from it. ;)

I never ment to say what devs need to do.
I just sayed it would be a nice addition if group quee would get added.
I am prolly wrong yes making this topic.
But i want to clearify that i am really happy with the work you Devs put out and i really enjoy to be able to play WAR again.
I ment with saying "Its annoying to try to sync quees with more than 3 people" that its pretty hard to do scenarios in a comfortable way as a group.
I am 100% not annoyed with the server and respect the devs allot for there work.
I am sory if this topic made some people angry i just wanted to clarify my opinion what would be nice to see in the near future on this server.

I never ment anny offense.
