No they haven't. Ignoring posts, even ones that pick up pages upon pages of replies. There used to be a different tone to the forum. Devs would make a stand. Now it is oblivious what they want to do.


We don't ignore posts either. We do our best to reply, but sometimes we do miss threads - was there any thread in particular you feel we've missed and needs looked at?


You and the others used to put your foot down and say this is the way it will be. Maybe we'd get an explanation, which is always nice. As players we moved on. Now there is discussion, multiple threads, and even a in-game poll sometimes. Then you disappear from the topic. I'm not only speaking of Sealed. GvG, the Ladder I know are "being worked on" but any real change takes what seems like forever and when they do get a "fix" more problems arise within months. It appears maintenance requirements are different for certain aspects of the game. Some aspects, like Arena, don't get it often enough. I don't play Arena because of it and the other aspects are the same. Please, can you allocate resources more evenly to keep the whole game running?


Sometimes we leave topics to be discussed a by players, then we take a look over the comments and post our thoughts on it.

I agree however that many aspects of the game can be improved. This is the main reason we have invested further in the game by hiring an additional developer to help improve it. If everything goes to plan, we'll be releasing the new UI on the alpha server tomorrow for e everyone to take a look at and give us feedback on (also it is a good opportunity for the FSHelper team to take a look at the new structure of the pages as it will most likely require a lot of updating.). After the new UI is released on the live servers, we'll then be 100% focused on improving the different aspects of the game (PvP, Guild Conflicts, Arena etc.). As well as this, we are also planning to release a major update to the map system on the alpha server tomrorow which will include the new 'quick kill' functionality which is very slick (combat results are shown on the action list with an option to view the combat after).

My opinion is that this is a whole different game and the older players are leaving, I honestly think that huge pvp ladder protection and that stuff was unnecessary, you could of made it better without changing the whole system as much as you did.

I think Cows need to work on advertising a bit more, get some new players in the game.

Or add some more perks for recruiting... Recruiting event?

It's good to see an additional coder hired, and im sure its difficult to give every aspect of the game the attention it is needed.Hopefully the new help can releive some of the strain to fix things, and speed up the tweaks..etc


As for new members joining this game, I dont think it will happen very fast, not without promotions, a sound multi detection system in place ( im not side tracking or trying to derail) and finally an actual fun game to play for everyone. many of those who are around now are simply around for the social aspect of the game, and due to spending sometimes insane ammounts of cash on the game, they stick around hoping one day it gets better.


Events, more activity from the devs, and ideas being debated and fixed, is what is needed more on a consistant basis. Ultimately its a business , which means cows need $$. However if the game, isn't fun, then no ones going to support it. Less and less players are playing the game every day now, I honestly hope something changes drastically sooner, then later. The hiring of a new coder is great, cracking the whip and getting all the fixes done as fast as effciently as the cows can do... is another issue.


Players are and always have been here, waiting, hoping, for things to get better. Some tire of it, and walk away... others just *shrug things off* and get used to it. More excitement and fun in the game is needed, in order for it to thrive and hopefully lure in more new players :)

Thanks.

I'm in a holding pattern. I don't want to run out of fuel before changes are implemented.

+1, wow i agree with you for once..so many good ideas floated around (alchemy, mutation, arena fixes..pvp fixes and more..)..but they never seem to make it to the actual game play...hopefully this new guy will help greatly to speed up changes that are needed..
