Hello fellow players on RoR, I start this topic as I feel we are left in the dark again about what is going on behind closed doors. While I do fully understand that the community and players should not know every single move, I do however, think we are "owed" (cough cough intitled spoiled shitter here btw
) to know what is going on with the server, furture content, balancing and the new style of community involvement. But with no results, apart from empty posts and a gost lingering in the shadows (halloween much?)So lets dive into it shall we?
- New gearsets were teased a while ago and correct me if I am wrong but the #2weeks meme stim from that. While I do understand the the Team is short on manpower, it being a private server and people are not getting payed but instead do this as a hobby, maybe stop teasing that far out when the content is not ready to followup the created hype. I appreciate the time and effort put into this server, but this just further creates a feeling in the community about we cant really trust what is being promised and/or teased.
- Server stability and performance. Thanks for trying to improve the stability, and even give us a headsup in the patchnotes about server might be a little shakey. But what is actually going on, how come we are seeing a way worse performance as of late. Lagging, freezing, lords going on vacation, manual server locks etc. Are we going downhill in regards to performance and stability, because this is for sure not helping retain playerbase where we seem to be bleeding a little
- Classbalancing, Veto, Aza's sacrifice and community managers;
ohhh boy. So it has been 6(?) weeks now since the Aza White Lion changes were rapidly removed from the game, based or what seems to be catering towards solo and "less than 6man" playerbase wished. Despite this is directly against the many times we have heard balancing will be based around 6man and warband performance. This raised a little questionmark if it was to remove any sign of Aza, or if his codeing was just so "uniq" that it was too difficult to followup on. Nevertheless the removal was quick and seemed rushed, where as the (empty?) promises of "High priority" changes have taken 2 months now, and we still havnt seen anything in the patchnotes from the priority list.
Correction, we saw a glimse of what Aza spend 90min of our time during a false Q & A that he highjacked, talking about he couldnt do his job towards class balancing because it would get Veto'd by other parts of the Dev team. So from what we saw last weekend with the White Lion pre-implimentation topic getting Veto'd (and I feel like I risk my neck for even mentioning this, but anyone else feel like Torq whispered in the shadows and next thing we know, 5weeks of balancing team, think-tank and alot of good work. Goes down the drain. And that raises my biggest concirn: What was it all for, if nothing has changed? Why even put together a balancing team if they work is simply ignored at the last phase of implimentation. Was it just a mask to make us feel like Aza sacrificed himself for nothing (btw I strongly disagree about Aza method of hijacking and betraying his team's trust, but it continues to seem like it was true and his only move to get us informed)
I dont want to discredit anyone who has put in work towards this server, I respect Torq for his passion, the balancing team for their attempt. But please. Show me and the community that this is not true, that we have moved on and things are better because that Veto move last weekend has not been adressed and I think it is time to let us know how things are going. We have been patient.
So am I the only one thinking along these lines, am I out of touch, or do others feel the same?
Happy halloween and thanks for reading.
with the server being shaky as f... atm..
