Changes Scheduled for the March Version Update (03/04/2008)

[SephYuyX]

I'll simplify things, WotG should had have never been released, at least not in its current state, and resources should have gone into finishing ToAU.

The fact the WotG went from 20% complete, to 60% complete to 100% complete (I think those were the numbers they gave us in interviews) in under 6 months time is sign enough that it would be an ill prepared expansion. The PS3 of releases if you will.

So what does bitching on a forum they probably don't read, accomplish?

hy·poc·ri·sy (h?-p?k'r?-s?)
n., pl. -sies.
The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
An act or instance of such falseness.

[Lordender]

oh.. they read.

maybe not the person you're specifically looking for.. but they have a representative that reads BG.
they actually have several NA reps and JP reps, and most of the dev team reads the forums as well. Face it, we find a lot of problems, broken things, like clerics pants +1. Not listening to us and the game would be considerably worse, we are the best beta testers they have. Remember the devs dont have the final say in adjusting kings either, just fixing errors in the program, so we can bitch all we want about how much fail they are, they want to fix it. Sage motherfucking Sundi wants to fix them, but the guy in charge says its fine and should stay.

They read every post we have on the update, I am 100% positive we scare the shit out of them if the updates are less than stellar, they know we are the bastion of the community they really have to appease because we influence the younger players who want to be like the endgame elites.

The person in charge needs to go drown in a big bucket of turds, their retarded, and should never be allowed to work for an MMO again. All that stands from lolSE and omgholyfuckBBQ are simple edits to current content. AV could easily keep every endgame LS busy for months if it was "beatable" and didn't hide behind some retarded gimmick video that created more headaches when it was supposed to give these big hints to help us figure it out.

Small edit to how you access einherjar's chambers would of floored the community into mass hysteria beyond epic porportions.

You gotz teh campagin!!! to keep you bizzy.

[The Blackrose]

All I have to say is the next news update better be something stellar; following the start strong, weak middle, strong end philosophy (and we're still eating the shit in the middle). Otherwise, I might have to wonder if the CoP team conducted a hostile takeover of the dev team.

Ive been saying for months that simple tweaks to things simply needing a helping hand would propel this game into 2008 with SE hardly spending as much as i imagine they do. All the fixing that could be done should have been what the expansion handled. Instead of talking about the Great War they could have talked about fixing broken content and had some cover art of someone actually beating AV, enjoying Brenner/Ballista, people doing the tons of currently useless BCNMs, Jormy getting some love w/Hydra and the 3 ToAU kings getting actual loot.

It would have been the expansion that toppled ToAU! >.>

Seriously though, housecleaning update where.

Otherwise, I might have to wonder if the CoP team conducted a hostile takeover of the dev team.

You dont notice the handiwork of the CoP team? or do you need more 1% Gnole Claw drops to remind you of their desire for tedium.

Ooooh! Swing and a miss! But thank you for playing. =)

Yeah, and they could've stuck that in Conquest areas to revitalize those and stuck the whole thing in a bimonthly update.

It certainly doesn't make an expansion by itself.

They did, its a ancient Zilart sport called Garrison.

Sadly no one ever wants to do it ;;

[Psion]

I'm in part of the "SE is holding out the big guns till the update" camp. SE loves teasing the player base like that, and ive gotten used to it... im kinda surprised people still fall for this all the time.

anyways, my prediction for this emperor band? grants the same exp bonus as a full powered sanction bonus, uncapped exp, only works with signet; lasts until signet wears or you click it off. I think something like that would suddenly make old areas a bit more popular.

Just one thing in a long list of past additions that have been all but abandoned that could be revitalized with some additions to it. Most of the rewards, especially at for the higher levels just suck. Garrison-only bonuses when no one even wants to do it.

Like someone said earlier in the thread, maybe they're giving us so little information or things that don't matter because WotG is going to be BIG (no i could be wrong and wotg will be crap, but its the CoP team =/) and so will the changes SE has planned..
I mean they didn't release the Soundtrack yet because of spoilers, they tell us about the missions and quests but they dont tell us more than that... The New Weapon and Armor is just as Vague as the one they gave for ToAU...

I think people are just used to ToAU where they told us EVERYTHING, you know why? because it was a new area of Vanadiel, that is why we got the little articles on who's who and the Serpent General Quests. I dont think TOAU started with changing the Endgame scene (with salvage and stuff) so neither will WotG... But the big stuff will come later on

But... this is BG and endgame forum so what else would the people expect?

also.. what did the first ToAU update add?

[ronin sparthos]

Besieged, 3ranks of Assault, endgame camps and camps 50+, sanction, some more sanction, Cerberus, BLU/COR/PUP, Walahra Turban?

[Espera]

Pathetic.

[Izzy]

If I hear one more QQ about the CoP team I'm going to rape my anal cavity with a can of punctured mace.

You're probley all the people who bitched the missions were too hard too right?
