dude is dead serious

[Paleman]

kind of hard to beta test or do anything when you cant zone, can only log in 1 out of 5 trys, and have an ungodly ping in game

I like alot of things on the server like visibility and lack of 3rd person, but if I cant fix this I am gonna just wait till later.

If anyone is willing to try to help me that knows please PM me. I might have some out of date files but its hard to tell because of how they are being distributed...

Ive tried every proposed solution on the tak site.

also how are people already 50 and selling all this shit on such a laggy server? lol yall are crazy

[Paleman]

also wtf is with level 1 mobs being hard as shit to kill? that coupled with crashing while zoning = fuck this noise.


sorry, I tried. This all sounds promising but yall need to work out some shit and put some better guides up on how to fix issues.

It has been very hard since Alpha is over. Back in alpha it all felt like a team effort, but now it just seems like developers and players are opponents in a silly game of snakes and ladders. The server GMs like to rule by fear and have antagonized the player base from the minute Beta started.

I just keep telling myself it is a team effort and hope I get unbanned/unsuspended soon, because I would really like to post some bugs I have found and keep contributing to the project. I don't really care too much about my personal character development or this server in particular, it is about making the code and the DB better so that 1 day in the distant future we will have a viable alternative to P99. Silly players and silly GMs (you know who I am talking about) likely will not survive very long in this environment

It just makes them look bad when they suspend/ban their top supporter/contributor because he ranted on the Rants and Flames forum. If you don't want to have people ranting and flaming and/or do not have the thick skin you need, stay the fuck out of RNF or get rid of Rants and Flames forum altogether. Right now it just seems like a trap to get rid of people that don't share your philosophy. FUNNY enough I was the one who was very vocal about this server not needing a RNF forum in the first place, I would link you the thread but due to being banned I don't have access.

This whole issue is so ridiculous, that the people who banned me are keeping it on the down low and didn't even say anything on the forum. They made it look like they replied in a calm manner to my inflammatory response and then proceeded to boot me without so much as a hint. If you have to hide your disciplinary actions there is obviously something wrong, it is weak and unprofessional.

We hide disciplinary actions. Public debate of them goes nowhere good.

We ban without warning.

We ban when rules are broken.

We watch other message boards too, and know what people are saying. We have not said we would ban on such things, but they have. So that means flame them all you want over here on p99, but don't be upset when you get banned over there.

They have better tying together of message board logins, to game accounts. +1 takp. And a ban on the boards over there, will likely mean in game too. We don't do that so much.

It looks pretty clear they have zero tolerance for staff bashing. Shocked much? They have become a little more tolerant here at p99.

Anothe thing I have noticed, is they don't want p99 people preaching at them about doing things like on p99.

They are not about building numbers up asap. They want to fix bugs. Fix quests. And work on having a high quality tak experience.

The exp changes were unpopular. There will be many more things that will be too. So what. Running a server is not easy. Coding on servers is not easy. Dealing with whiney, self entitled players just sucks.

Are you important to the takp? Not if you are ticking off and frustrating the devs and gms.

Yes but disagreeing with the staff is not the same as bashing the staff.

I think their intentions are genuinely good but the same is true for Apio. Something something passionate.

Give it a couple months and this server can be awesome.

iance, i think you just got burnt out, man. you put a whole lot of time and energy into this thing. it caught up with you, and you flipped your lid for a bit. i saw the whole thing go down on the forums as it was happening.

i think if you just chill out for awhile, take a break, and stop ranting about TAKP over here now.... then the GMs might lift your ban. might not, idk, i'm not on the staff over there, but i do know they're never going to lift your ban unless you calm down a bit. this is just a game, man, no need to get so emotionally invested in it.

[Speedling]

Apio has a history of being a ticking bomb. If things aren't going his way, he'll feel entitled to bitch and whine to the public.

Just ignore him and move along.

[Erasong]

I thought everyone actually was entitled to bitch to the public.
