Your request is laughable. Not all of the complaining is on top or pertinent to a specific discussion. There are so many things that are completely broken and screwed up after these last few days that there could be a thread devoted to each of them and they would run off both the first and second pages of the board.

Trying to collate all those topics into a single thread would merely make it un-readable.

Like i said before, you are going to have to suck it up for a while. Sorry. I suggest reading a book or (trying) to play the game. I hear you can harvest succesfully now without getting 200k dp an hour, atleast if you do it by town.

Cheers

Ok, if they are all different, then how about Nevrax just creates a new Forum and titles it "Complain Here!!"

What's with all the people telling me to read books? Are you all librarians or something?

people won't use the complaint forums either. the objective is being heard by nevrax and not being ignored. so far many feels ignored since the top priority should be fix back monsters and they don't want to do it.

I'm sorry Eegreen, but I feel the multiple posts are necessary. The more noise the better. They didn't want to listen when we had one post, remember the ATS thoughts post by Cieran? No, they didn't listen to that at all. Now that 90% of the posts are about our anger, they are listening. Still taking the wrong response mind you, with all this knee-jerk un-thoughtout double this, half that bullsh*t. But they are listening. Or hell, maybe it's just that half their player base cancelled their accounts this weekend and our words stll mean nothing?

As far as hearing about stuff happening in the game... there is NOTHING happening in the game. Few of my friends are playing, those that are are digging or crafting a little. Almost no one is fighting. Certainly no trans continental trips are being made. My guild's teamspeak is SILENT, not to mention barren.

I actually had quite a bit of fun last night in game. Just because I feel like it, I'll tell you about it.

I joined a team of 5 Zorai near the Kipee Hill outside Zora. We were all enjoying the newly fixed harvesting, and decided we'd like to see what the Prime Roots looks like, and check out what mats are down there.

We headed off to Stainmoor Gate, and amazingly got to the gate without any agros. We went through, and found ourselves in a dark tunnel. We thought, "hmm..no big deal". It was then that we heard the Kipucka roars echoing down the tunnel. We all shook in absolute terror, and tried to regain our confidence.

Slowly, we began creeping through the tunnel, and eventually rounded a corner to see 4 Great Kipuckas. The tunnel split into two, with 2 guarding each passage. It seemed impassable. We sat and watched for what seemed like hours, and then we realized that they ran in patterns, and every so often, a window of opportunity presented itself.

We saw an opening and went for it. Then one of the Kipuckas single handedly flattened us all. These beasts hit us for more damage than we ever thought possible. No homin could ever stand up to just one hit from these monsters.

After 20 minutes or so, we had all maxed out our death penalties, so there was no reason to be cautious. We ran like mad whenever we saw an opening. And eventually, we made it through that gauntlet, and found ourselves in a cave so expansive that the ceiling was barely visible. Then we realized that getting past the 4 Kipuckas was only the beginning of our problems.

Huge swarms of Kipestas raced around killing anything that got in their way. On top of that, there were endless Zoracs and Najabs. Hugging the edge of the cave, we snuck past many of them. Then we saw some homins and had a glimmer of hope. The Silencer Tribe was walking by. We tried to keep our distance to find out if they were friendly. They saw us, and the blood that spilled told us that they were no allies.

After another successful escape of the Kipucka guards, we tried a new path. We found another tribe of what appeared to be Trykers. They were the Root Sappers. We wisely chose not to greet them, and never found out if they meant us harm.

To be continued.........There is much more to this adventure...I'll tell more of the tale if people let me know if they've enjoyed reading it.

Ok, storytime is over. IMO, there are still lots of ways to enjoy this game.

Oh, and I'm going home from work now, so don't expect more story tonight.

It's funny I made the same request when it was about content and i got flamed out the wazoo. but if it's made about abtual numbers in the game and people leaving, it goes over well?

Yeah, we did that too, Modo...Prepatch and was still tough, took many groups working together to get people through caves. What is your point?

Ours is that it was very tough before, it is simply impossible now.

Before patch you could get a seasoned team, now you are seasoning for every stinking Gingo that heard the cry of the one who thought he saw you.

Before patch you could solo off DP in less than an hour, post patch you had to group to even forage.

I would love to have your innate ability to suppress the obvious and continue to fund the dilemna. You obviously did not lose as many friends as I did in game. It just hurts is all...and needlessly.

So yeah, I'll whine, I'll complain and I'll voice my opinion where and when because NEVRAX replaced my gametime with flametime. So you see, it is not you, friend....but you are pushing painful buttons when you coldly invoke the "whiner" tag on us.

Aye.... I've been floating this board for awhile now... and it seems that everything is useless "I'm leaving" posts. I don't see how that helps in any way, shape, or form. Sigh....
