Announcement Ask the CMs in English

@Dragonnns @Darwarren I standby what i said, though you are right that it COULD be instead of would. If they link the databases up, then a change in the game database will automatically be ulpoaded with little human effort, whereas with the wikia, it takes a while for players to manually update the changes made with the game. It doesn't get more complete and accurate than the live game database being uploaded.

I also said that the wikia in some respects will still be better than the BP version.

 

You are right. Open source software and documentation is usually of much better quality than any 'official' one, as collaboration increases quality and quantity. Unless for the scientific materials, i would rather go wikia than some paper. Organizations are usually short on the docs. And to me it is natural.

 

Today a friend of mine sold all his items he had on him (including glyphs and gems) just for fun to see how much gold he would get, thinking that he will unsell them after that. But right as he was going to unsell his items the game crashed so after he logged back in he couldn't get all his items back.

He wrote to support and they told him that they can give him back only 5 items and without gems or glyphs.

Why is that? Haruki, can you please ask about this and give us some information? What are the limitations when it comes to items saved in the database? I don't understand why it's not possible to give him all his items, gems and glyphs back, it's just not fair, he worked for years on his char.

How can you create a system that allows you to trash 4 years of hard work in a few seconds, with no way of getting your hard earned stuff back ?!!!

 

Moral of the story... "Curiosity killed the cat, and no amount of satisfaction will bring it back."

Ouch, and good luck, but your friend shouldn't hold his breath.

 

hello guys and girls
can you tell me what is happening with the Viper pouldrones ?? why i miss the item ?? i got the item, with 5th slot added, and with 5 gems in it ... after the patch the item is missing ... and NO - i did not sell or melt it ...
good luck to all and (_)]

 

Sorry but NO.
No honor points unless it is an official match.
I would be the first one to abuse it.

Good ... your case was already lost even before you started it anyway.

 

Your friend was stupid.

Also, isn't the item price listed on each item? Why sell when he could have pen and papered it or use a calculator?

 

Ikr...
But that's not the point. What if I sell my weapon with gems on it by mistake? Why is it so hard to give back the gems, glyphs and items you sold? Why doesn't bp have some kind of backup safety mechanism so we don't destroy our hard work by mistake or out of curiosity / stupidity?

Maybe make a recycle bin only for legendary and unique items and gems.
All the items you sell and melt will go there. And the items in the recycle bin can have a 1 day lifespan before they get trashed for good. In this case if you make a mistake or misclick something you can get them back very easily. A few bits of information will take so much space?

 

They can give you gems back. Glyphs I'm sure they can as well. It's just a matter of who you get to help you and whether or not they pass it up the chain to get approval for things like that.

 

Hello Haruki

When the option to hide Cloak/Helmet will come to game? And when tha option to change the appearance of an item will come to game?

Thanks

 

They do have some flavor of backup for sure. Tons of data. I'm also sure it is possible to get all his items back, gems, glyphs etc, but it will take Dev time so they don't want to do it. There is also a possibility their data are not in a good shape. Warehouse of mess, so it would be hard. It is not l1 level of support that would be covered by cheaper employees, it is L3 - dev time. So they might have decided to go with some cheap solution, have some dumb return function that works the way it works and they don't care, and even if there is a feature/user story planded to improve it, it is never priority, especially for immature organization who do not understand the value of keeping dAta in a good shape. That adhoc function would be used by support guy, and that's it.

 

Allegedly? Allegedly ???
Is that really a last-minute news on your side, to keep this skepticism attitude?

What about, for instance, this discussion?
Moon Events (review)‏

More than 140 posts from middle 2014 (and this is only one single discussion among all opened on same subject) where almost all people agree that:
- the minimum of 2x fairy wood from a tree is a shame
- the minimum of 5x fairy wood from the tree champion in the middle map is a shame
- 3000 fairy wood to collect is a shame
- the needed 30-32 runs to collect the 3k fairy wood is not only boring, but even disgusting

Are you all able to understand that the root concern is - always - the amount of time and grinding required?
Are you all able to understand that this is coming from both payers and non-payers accounts?
Are you all able to understand that encouraging the modifications in the same direction proposed by customers will achieve a reward for BP, since more people will play the whole event?
Are you all able to understand that if whole world is asking you to increase that fairy wood drops (not 1.2x, we are speaking of 2x or 3x. Or drastically decrease the 3000 needed) you should not conclude that 'mechanics will remain unchanged' ???

Let me help you: this is not about a fine tuning.
Show us a significant steering.
Stop to compensate with a pure-theoretical item drop increase the root cause issue of a boring mechanism, and too-heavy demanding in terms of time and grinding.
This kind of compensation does not work at all, if the source problem is weighting so much.

You have on a scale 20 pounds and 100 pounds. Sometimes you will have to add 80 pounds, ok. In this case you should subtract the 80 pounds and balancing 20 vs 20.

So, let this trees in "Blackborg by day" drop a minimum amount of 10 woods !
Let the big boss tree drop 50 - 200 woods !

Come on, is so easy. And i wrote too much for such a simple solution.
Prove all us that is easy for you to satisfy people.


And instantly remove that ugly, embarrassing, overbearing, lumbering group box on the right side of the gaming window: instantly revert back to previous version groupbox. There was nothing needed to change, if you intend changes in this direction.


edit Dec 16: Addendum after playing the new moon event on live server Heredur.
I found very funny (to not say demotivating, because i know that you don't like negative terms. So urrah! Join the Joy!) that in a bunch of runs, i had in inventory 10 claws for entrances in hard map and 0, ZERO, hard scrolls to summon Karabossa in hard map.
Again, it's ALWAYS so clever that your team doesn't understand maths and the way drops should be. But we said here so many times, so i don't really think that you all are able to understand this constructive criticsm. Why constructive? Because i would like to show you that if you work to introduce a brand new feature (hard map mode) but you don't let players to take reward from this (if we can't summon Kara hard, why the hell we should play the hard map????), the results is that we will play only NORMAL map. And so you worked for nothing, since the event is EQUAL to previous older classic version. Is this funny for you?

Oh, and congratulations to the BrainMan (always the same person, i hope) that decided to stock the claws entrances ONE PER INVENTORY SLOT.
10 entrances, 10 slots. lol

 

It looks like you can buy upgrade stones for 35000 frags..... seems kind of expensive

 

Hi haruki, can your team increase Andermant for resurrection in normal maps from 40 to 50 ... and reduce Andermant for resurrection in the room of boss from 120 to 100? Bosses hard and very hard ( Ammon Quests) are very difficult and now with 3 or 4 dead for every run it is too expensive.

 

Really?
So you can by-pass it with premium anyway?
Hard bosses are not compulsory to play ... if you are not strong enough don't play there.

 

And a good team should bring stones. And if you are solo and can't handle it, then read what trakilaki just said... don't do it till you can.

 

In the game you have put so many unique sets (lvl 40/50), that you can not finish a set. Indeed, i do not find one in six months... Ignorance to extreme levels.

 

Most of the uniques aren't worth much (other than melting). There are some who have searched for a long time and still have not completed some sets like deep sea, keens, yachak. There existence is just short of a myth. Concentrate on great legendary items and find a nice small set like Dragan or Witch and it will be somewhat easier.

 

Hi all,from what i've experienced so far -like couple of fellas here mentioned about how dk and all pvp are unbalanced-i'd like to share my thoughts on that issue.

To make it a more balanced game -

1-)I know this mustve been mentioned like hundreds of times but as an old mmorpg player i just dont understand why we have to buy pots with games special money(andermants) we should have the chance to buy pots with golds and anders at the same time.Its just pots really nothing more..(And this solves the problem about how dk is strong in pve but weak in pvp than other classes and that classes like ranger and mages use a lot of pot while farming)

2-)Removing pots from pvp arena.There is nothing to say anything further about this i think.


3-)(Whoever in charge reading this just do not do not ignore this)You just simply have to either remove dwarf class or change its skills entirely.To analyze all the characters more efficiently we should not take the players of the characters;their skills and items into consideration rather we have to see the differences weaknesses or powers of their talents.As a dk player it gives me no satisfaction getting defeated to a dwarf who just does nothing but run and waits for the turret to kill me really no individual skill required.

4-)To make the dk more playable you have to reduce the required rage points for mighty wild swing!

5-)And this part is really important i think because if i understood correctly a lot of dk players and myself included can't decide whether they should go for defence or attack or both and a lot of players all the ones that shows their characters stats here on this forum uses dark set or even witch set with the shields and one-handed swords or axes with it.While other classes uses the same.There has to be different sets with different bonuses for each classes in order to make the characters more unique.You can't make the game balanced with long-ranged and close ranged characters using the same sets.(And trust me it makes no difference getting more defence for dk dark or witch or any other set its not even that much)Really whoever thought that this was a good idea disrespects the old gamers like me.

6-)There is a lot of unnecessary skills and attributes that they give in both dk and ranger like whats the difference between angry strike and rageful swing or death swing-deadly blow there is none even when u improve them just the animation..They should be more different both damagewise and with all the attributes that they give. but they have to be unique and strong on their own way.

I dont know if u would agree to all of this but i think this whole thing would solve all of the unfair gameplay.I didn't write to get an answer from a cm but i just had to write down all of it.Currently hating that little thing called dwarf:/://

 

Haruki can you tell the devs that they are stupid baboons?

Many times when I use blade dance my ranger blades through the mobs but then gets kicked back in the middle of the mobs. Is this because the devs are stupid or because they are retarded?

But of course you won't do anything about it because you don't even have any idea of what I'm talking about. Maybe you login daily for 2 minutes and you say you play the game -.-... And so is Greg and so are 99% of the devs

The devs are not gamers, they're just stupid programmers who think of brilliant features that nobody wants. Their work is on par with retarded indian freelance programming noobies who have just started learning to develop.

This entire game moving and mechanics looks like it's been made by elementary school kids.

And you talk all the time about introducing new features, moving the game forward bla bla bla, you should see yourself how silly and annoying you are when you say that. First fix the game to work and then you can waste your time on stupid features that nobody wants as much as you like. The game would be very fun as it is now, but fix the stupid bugs and accidental clicks etc

Why does my ignore list keep increasing? Because the stupid devs didn't think that when I CTRL-click to take the loot, the menu for players comes up too (the one where you add friends, whisper, add to group and ignore).

I have lost hope on the people that work on this game. I feel like talking to stupid kids who just don't understand and don't want to understand what I'm telling them.

Now you will come up with the same answers you always come up: yeah we're working on it, measuring, contemplating, tweaking, pfffffffff BS

Based on all the bugs people report, you should have a list of at least 100 things you need to repair on the game that are URGENT!
But you let these bugs stay in the game for YEARS and instead work on unproductive things.

Day by day I get more and more convinced that this company doesn't give a crap about its customers. Over and over again one will see this through false promises, bad rewards, useless compensations and many many other things which I can't think of right now
