Moon, a few points.

 

I thought you were 3rd and we were 4th in Top Guild list?

 

My post wasn't majorly aimed at TED, it was aimed at HCS, I don't feel they know the game mechanics or individual aspects of their game enough to make sound judgement on the changes they consider and then implement.  They look at the views/demands/opinions posted on here and decide from that...my point was  those views are increasingly from members of TED of friends of.  You use this to your advantage, which I can't really blame you for.

 

An idea was posted around a long time ago of the community 'electing' a number of players knowledgeable in each aspect of the game to discuss updates with HCS before concepts and implementation. I was a fan of that idea, but it never got anywhere, obviously there would be possible flaws and manipulation of this as well, but its more likely to get us closer to a positive update than the last 5 or 6 have been.

 

As for your last point, if it didn't mess WaL's GXP up (I've been here since I was about 340), I would honestly take you up on the offer.  Other than a few instances of pot - kettle - black type stuff related to 'double-dipping' I don't overly dislike TED at all.

Please increase the server capacity and test early in the week, so any possible bugs are ironed out before you hit the Double Event button.

 

I recall you guys did something similar last XP Event at the same time you started it and it ruined the first 36 hours of the event so much you had to extend it.

For me , it's nothing to do with profit, I didn't participate in this event.

It's to do with doing something..do it right, or don't do it at all.

HCS run a business, they should stick to the timescales THEY set out, they should do what THEY say they will, ie release certain critters, not miss some and add others.

If you can be bothered go back and check the 2x event, I stated in there they shouldn't extend it much as it's supposed to be a limited bonus event.

People always try to spin negative comments into, you're only moaning because you can't make as much fsp...some people just care about the way the game is handled and run by its owners, who IMO do not seem to give it as much care and attention as they should.

So you extend them from the 5th to the 9th, then without actually announcing, just changing the original post, you extend them again to the 12th...then you forget to take them out?

Please pick a date and stick to it, people work based on the dates you supply, if you change them, that can affect things we do in game.

Thanks.

I'm going to tell a story to answer this.

A long time ago, people came onto the forums and said, Cows, Cows, please do something to use all the excess LE and SE gear up that is cluttering the game and making everything worthless.

Cows said OK, we'll add a feature to the game called Composing, using all types of items for great potions. The Community rejoiced, old worthless items got composed and LE events and SE hunting increased in popularity, thereby increasing the worth of said items.

Then people started to realise these items were starting to get harder to come by and therefore expensive, so they came onto the forums and said Cows, Cows, please do something, we can't get LE and SE items very easily and without having to spend fsp.

Cows said OK, and they added Frag events, giving lots of extra LE and SE frags to everyone who took part, effectively reducing the prices of LE and SE items again, thereby reducing the popularity of LE events and SE hunting.

When people start to get low on LE or SE frags, they come to the forum and say Cows, Cows, please give us an LE event or a frag event so we can top up our frag bank.

Then people came on the forum and said Cows, Cows, please try to make SE hunting worthwhile again, because the items are so worthless no one hunts them........

Thanks Cows

This is exactly what players have been asking for since forever, updates and then tweaks to fit within the way the game is played.

 

If this continues players will come back to the game (like me) and new ones will stay.  Everyone loves an actively managed and updated game where the devs take the advice of those that play.

 

Good stuff and keep it up guys

Grim,  I am not a PvPer, but making Bounty Hits un-bountyable back is crazy.

 

Absolutely every hit on the board, 10 or 100 stam has be to be bountyable.

 

Also, make it so you can lose XP on a loss when attacking on the board, right now, there is too much security all ready...dont make that worse...make it better.

Cows,

 

While you're improving the auto-fragment thing, is there any chance you can add a tweak to the composing feature?  

When we make a potion for the Guild, we cannot send them to players, and in the Guild Report section, each potion shows as Composing Potion.  I make a ton of pots for the Guild, so might have up to 30 in my bp at any one time, I name them all after the person they are for, it can take time to go through 30 pots to find the one they're looking for.

Either being able to send them to the person, and/or having them show in the Report page the name of the potion, rather than simply Composing Potion, will save on any issues or hassle.

 

Hey abc, long time

 

Already Achieved:

 

Unstoppable & Abracadabra

* Eagle Eye: 171,837 / 250,000 

* Stronger Together: 3,987 / 50,000 

* Exterminators: 565,282 / 1,000,000

 

Looks like we dont use groups so much

Since almost every big guild is hireing some players to do the Cmposing, it's possible to make the name of the Composing Potion appears on Guild Log?

Something like:
"Player X took the Item 'Composing Potion (yghorbbs stash)' From Guild Store "

 

We need this, but it should also show the name in the Guild Report, I make potions for guildmates, so I could have 10 in my bp at any one time, they all show as composing potion, i call the potion the guildmates name, but they have to hover over it to see what the name is, if they were called 'Guildmates Name' rather than Composing Potion, would be great for everyone.

I like Staid's idea.

 

I do disagree with her though, of the players I know personally who do it, their motivation IS GXP.  They could do other things with their time and stam, and for a while they do, but they are drawn back to doing what they have always done, help the Guild as much as they can.  Having no way of going up, they go down.

 

However, people talk about root cause.  Its very simple, HCS do not release content in line with stam gain.

 

Someone suggested levels are auto generated, and quests are the only thing that needs actual work on, gear could be auto generated to the point stat distribution is already a given, just the type of item and stats would need to be set.

 

In my opinion, this is a good idea, HCS could easily release content every 2 weeks, or even 10 days with this type of system implemented, and then this entire issue (generally) would not be an issue.  Reaching EoC would be an acheivement again, getting there would not be that easy, as there are other things to spend stam on.  People would not get bored, might not leave the game, and certainly wouldnt need to delevel (I guess some will always want to gain more GXP, in which case, this thread idea works for them).

I dont see why it needs changing Hoof.

 

All updates recently and those planned will affect a range of players in a good way.

 

Changing the delevelling thing can ONLY affect a certain type of player in a bad way.  OK it will annoy a few, but it doesnt actually make a difference to them playing the game.

Hoof, you make changes in this game based on the whinings of a select few players (who it generally doesnt even affect).

 

I wonder if they are really trying to 'improve' the game, or trying to kill it.

 

You dont release content fast enough for EoC players to level. 

 

So to use their stam, they delevel and then relevel.  So, they can do it on 1 creature, who cares?

 

Who does it affect negatively? 

 

No-one, everyone can do it if they want.  Many choose not to do it, some choose to take relics all day, some choose to hit players, etc etc.  Do we have threads complaining about that all the time? 

 

No.

 

Why does it make a difference to anyone, it does not negatively affect anyone.

 

The only thing I do agree on, is the bounties, it makes the Bounty medal and Smasher medal pointless, they are not true reflections of anything.

 

Add a delevel button for gold/fsp so it isnt diluting the achievements.

Cows, you're spoiling us!

 

I need more stam to do all this stuff you keep giving us!!
