Realistically, my contribution in regards to content is complete. The content exists, and works well. When the upcoming content is released, you will enjoy a more complete implementation from being thoroughly tested on the pve server.
For the people claiming that I don't do anything: The pvp server is Rogean's. The pve server is mine. We share several responsibilities for them, but when it comes to rule changes or release dates for the pvp server, Rogean is who you need to address. My vote regarding pvp does matter, I hope, but ultimately I do not make the final call for pvp changes involving releases or rules. For example, I liked item loot and thought teams would be cool to try out. In the end, it was a discussion between Rogean, Null, and myself.
I have tried, several times, to gauge interest in what needs changing. I have voiced my opinion and did the related work as I could. Things like guard assist, certain items not dropping that should, manastone working in the planes, etc. This is additional work on top of what I already do for the pve server. Regardless of what I did, I received more negative feedback than positive: Wasn't enough, wasn't fast enough, or whatever sounds the worst.
IMO what needs to happen for pvp changes: Untrolled discussion. Cohesion of realistic ideas. If I were to guess, Rogean doesn't respond to most of these threads because of how the topics are addressed and what people say about him. |
Always nice to see a response from some1 on the team-- thanks.
I think the community has tried several different forms of getting our message across. Really, I think most of the community feels that he probably doesn't even see our message. Rogean made a post about the server a few months ago, and I didn't see anything but global OOC get implemented, and it helped for awhile.. but had it been in since the get-go I think the server would have been more successful.
Look, we all know this isn't your job and that you don't get paid to do it-- we can all appreciate that but the community as a whole has come to grips with the fact that the server will not succeed with the attention it has seen thus far, the proof is in the population. Simple research of your Red99 database will clearly show the slow drop in population in correlation to the requests on the forum, it's not rocket science.
I guess the benefit is that Red won't be wiped and if Rogean ever does decide to be more active in the community and instill confidence back in its inhabitants that we'll have characters to come back to.. till then.. it is what it is I guess.
