Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "silentshadwos"

Well thanks alot Runes of Magic you messed up last weeks xp/tp event an now your giving us another one with just little but more i think it should have been alot more an also you stated that at the end of this month you would open the new zone an still have not done so an also the crafting recipe an gathering recipe merchants are still messed up cant make any progress either way in game an also people are still ticked off about the new item shop an we have lost alot of people the only time we see people from our guild anymore is for siege war if that half the time now since the new item shop they don't even bother to log in to play an alot of players from mithras server are thinking about quiting the game totaly an moving on to some other game way to go i hope your happy because i know that people from my guild refuse to buy anymore diamonds

WTF? what do you expect 5x xp? this is triple xp, great they messed up a double xp weekend (that is already a gift, mind you) and they respond pretty damn fast to give us triple xp. how can you complain...

people quitting just because of an item shop change, holy sh*t they probably were already quitting. as you said they were only signing in for siege war, probably a problem with your guild not doing anything else. a change to IS and "oh no the world is ending", thats the final straw? last time i check when they improved the wheel of destiny, it was pretty damn good. i dont see people saying how good it is. a friend of mine paid 100 dias for the wheel. got AT LEAST 4 abls, 4 bls, 2 +20 acc, (1) 30 day HSM, 2 phoenix and more that i forget. i know i tried it myself and got plenty worth of items back.

Saito also mentioned that the new zone is done, just making sure it all works. do you want more bugs? then you are going to complain about those bugs....i mean people in this game are going to complain about everything no matter what.

then your giant run-on sentence. (doesnt really matter but omg this post made me so angry for some reason i just had to log in and respond, i really want to )

Maybe your not getting it ,level 20 plusing jewels are going to be way more expensive an your having to spend more diamonds on somehting that is no longer obtainable especialy for end gamers you may be satisified but you wont for long when the prices of dimoands go up an that if anyone has any level 20 plusing jewels there not going to sell but if they do they will most likely be around 200 mil a pop, an the economy is going to be messed up for a long time an before they start worrying about making sure the new content is fixed the need to fix alot of other issues like siege war castle walls people able to shoot through them and also the bosse are messed up in level 95 dungeon again every time they fix something the break alot of other things again. Alot of people just not those who where thinking of quitting but those who have been playing for years are talking about leaving the game including end gamers.

Make sure before you run your mouth you have alot information because i pay attention to what is being said on mithras server an the level 95 instance isnt being ran hardly at all because the end gamers can't plus there gear to 20 anymore without having to go through the new stupid wheel they put in, so expect alot of high prices on the auction house an people are ready for new content there already bored out there mind ,yes i know what they have said about trying to make sure the new area has no issues but they should have never said it would be out at the end of this month , they need to stop making announcements of things that are not going to happen when they say it will happen an if there where issues they need to come out on the main page tell people whats going on instead of leaving everybody in the dark.

Where oh where is the emoji for my eyes are now bleeding?

Oh, and Shay some people would complain about a paper cut if you handed 'em a million dollars.

Shaydynasty i love your response and could not have put it any better. Silentshadow, we don't need +20 jewels at all, it is a luxury item after all.

People who quit the game here are some reasons :

1 - People don't get or asks for info on how to stat their gear to get the maximum out of it.

2 - People getting brainwashed that they have to gear up and plus like the 5% of endgamers in game, THEY DO NOT

3 - People not taking the time to read up on the class they want to play etc

4 - Some people expect established players to give them already stated and plussed gear for free

5 - Some people think all is easy in game and they don't have to work for it

6 - Guilds that won't run them through the lower instances to get their quests, setskills etc

7 - Guilds that don't pass along information on sites like Rom-welten, Romwiki, addons etc

8 - Endgamers not running the latest instance blablabla, instead of crying on how they can't run stuff, get your guildies, friends together and run it yourselves, why always wait for them to do it and overcharge you for gear? that one i never got

9 - People should stop standing around and login in only for siege war and that one hour a day and then complain about the game this and that

10 - I bought 100$ diamonds worth last week at 140%, i will buy 100$ at 130% this week too, not cause i am rich, cause i can and support the changes that they have done and the ones coming up.

Ya i would have loved level 97 cap, i was asking for it, but Saito make a clear answer, gave us the info and that is what it is.

People should really remember this is a game for FUN!!! Go run the content as best as you can and let people experience the gameplay to it's full extent . What does it matter if you are level 95 and can only run Bethomia for now? or GCH/TOSH/SC?? How many on the forums actually made a group to run those at level 95 and weren't even able to coordinate the strat for those level of instances?

Stop blaming the GM's, Gameforge for your inability to play a game, they would have +24 jewels that people could still not clear GCH/TOSH/SC loll.

I would love to see Alna, Elvie, Sadakko,Castle, Gawd come back to play with us and take the time to help us like they always did when we asked for help, the good old day those were

I could go on with that list of reasons as many others would too, just get better at playing your toons and have fun.

Zone/Quests/etc for Cap 97 have been ready for a while, but we're waiting on more bugfixes (e.g. the stupid script breaks in HoC and BP, Cenedril attrkbute buffs not vanishing after using any other buff) for current content and ofc also for changes that are going into Madro Troll Nest and Raven Heart instances atm.

LMFAO, nearly 6-7 months to make this cap and the entire zone had to be shut down within few hours of its release and just before most of the 9-5 workers got off work hoping to try the new zone. Fail much? Not even going to mention how the dailies in that zone doesn't give ptokens, or the bugged snoop. How exactly is this zone considered "ready" for release when you are still waiting on clearly a ton of bug fixes?

No no, it's ok, they tested everything first.

Of course they tested it. I can just see all the testing oozing out of the new zones every pore. So much testing has been done that it just broke the zone and it had to be taken down for a second time just now. Clearly the term testing has a whole different meaning in Taiwan and Germany than it does in rest of the world. Just cut to the chase and take down the entire zone for months like you did with the lvl 92 instance.

Remember when Froggie had the beta server to test out the new ( then ) zone & instance that players could sign up for? & after all of the bugs there were squashed and QA cleared it, it was still a colossal fail when patched in to Production servers. I know many of us are predisposed to be irritated by anything GF or RW does or says, but there are always challenges & they're just people trying to do the best they can with the resources they have.

Personally, I would like to see a complete re-build sometime for the game server(s). Build a brand new box, install the latest server software, replicate the database(s) and then commission it to come online. Once that server is working well, wipe the old box and do the same thing w/ the other server. Basically take out the patching process and install from scratch every couple of years.

I dont expect completely bug free new congent, but I feel likenthe quality of the content has been in sharp decline. Seven years in, we're getting glaring issues and major terrain bugs more commenly than before rather than less. Areas where tstorms cant hit mobs, numerous mobs that cant be attacked because cannot see targret, even places in new zone where my toon constantly get stuck, instances are often unplayable on release until 7 to 8 months later, numerous boss events unplayable because its either broken or poorly thought out, and a working CS replaced with an unbearbly slow one rather than real issues being addressed.

RW is literally getting worse at developing content 7 years in, and I think these are valid complaints on the quality that RW thinks is acceptable to send out as a patch. Its like they're writing code and just assuming it'll work the first time without doing their own internal check to make sure it actually works.

You *do remember that you have the opportunity to be a part of the Testing Team?
