At the risk of looking like a spelling nazi, maybe try spelling his name right? Obviously I can"t speak for Curt, but it would annoy me personally if someone was asking personal favors of me and didn"t take the 2 seconds needed to verify the spelling of my name.

There"s nothing inherently wrong with it, I think his point was that developers generally don"t go out of their way to create headaches for themselves. Things which are borderline exploits create problems for them, from encounter balancing to other players whining, hence the developers will go...

So once again you"re posting nothing of value, just saying "do what everyone else has already done, but balance it well!" Color me underwhelmed. Your "obvious" solutions describe WoW talents (skills with pre-req"s that prohibit multiple specialties) & WoW"s combat system (elemental resists...

Your entire post amounts to "it"s being fixed/adjusted." That"s super, but surely you can see why people have some angst over said issues, now that they"re paying customers.

How"s this for nerd rage: Vanguard Crafters :: View topic - Kojan: Thow us a bone All you people who ground out Kojani faction....so sorry, thanks for playing.

Read the end of thread, he got drunk and asked for a ban.

In a word, bullshit. I bought the game, plenty of the problems people have are completely valid. Performance issues, heavy handed nerfs, CTD"s, experience rollbacks, lack of content at higher levels, ridiculous travel times....all are valid complaints, many of which we told them about in Beta...

Honestly, he"s making me wish we had Tad back. This isn"t raving to you? At least Tad typed like a coherent adult.

The title of the thread is "Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard?" What did you expect to find here, exactly?

Granted I didn"t play Eve for long, but I don"t recall it having a class system.

Not really a question, more of a suggestion: Take a long look at some of the discussion that"s gone on here in regards to the FFXI Job system. It"s almost universally praised as one of the best class systems in MMO"s to date, and really lends a sense of attachment to your character as opposed to...

It"s a neat idea, but I just don"t see it working in the game as it"s structured today due to the universal auction brokers. Why would a crafter bother setting up shop in some remote place when he can easily throw his wares up on the AH and have tons more people see it? There would have to be...

I can"t believe nobody has copied FFXI"s job system yet. It really was a great way to have people playing at all levels.

Or maybe learned it from a game they created, EQ? The same exact thing happened in EQ once Kunark came out. Dungeons like Howling Stones & Chardok (pre-revamp) sat around completely empty for the most part while Karnor"s & Seb had lists for every named.

It really depended on the server cluster you were on (they have multiple realms sharing a single DB server, if I remember correctly). You could have been on a low pop server & still had shitty performance due to another server on your cluster. On the other hand there were clusters that never had...

Probably not, as most people like their games to be fun =p * * * (Before you reply Tad, I"m kidding. Mostly)

Yeah, with the amount of times FoH was discussed on the official VG boards it"s not surprising that a lot of them would register here.

That might be the best first post ever.

I was talking about John "Kendrick" Capozzi. He was responsible for a lot of EQ"s most well-liked zones, and was employed by Sigil until earlier this year. If he"s not on your team, try to get him

I know there"s a Kendricke (with an "e") who I"ve seen post lately, but it"s not the same guy. I don"t recall anything from the developer Kendrick, though it"s certainly possible I missed it.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know where Kendrick ended up when he left Sigil? Complete speculation, but maybe he"s some of the talent Curt is referring to.

I understand your point completely, and I see the business reasoning. Unfotunately I am not Joe Casual, and neither is the vast majority of this board. Option A affects me, hence why I prefer a company who flat out says "X isn"t finished, we"ll tell you when it is".

I agree with you 100%, with a decent sized company shit happens. However, if a PR guy gives false information to the players it"s the upper management"s responsibility to make sure that information is corrected.

Absolutely, if it kept people paying subscriptions. How many people quit because of said lies? Not many I"d wager, because despite it"s problems EQ was the one of the few games worth playing until WoW came out.

They are PR people. The entire point of their professional existence is to act as a filter between the CEOs/Devs & the players. You honestly believe that the upper management had no idea what they were telling people?

For me personally, yes. Obviously I"d rather have a complete game from the start, but that doesn"t seem to be acheivable by anyone yet. In this case, I"ll take the lesser of two evils. If I know something isn"t in the game and I get a reasonable timeline as to when it"s going to be there, at...

It"s a step beyond that though, SOE didn"t keep their mouth"s shut. In some cases they flat out said something was working when in retrospect it clearly wasn"t even in the game yet. I don"t have the anti-SOE hardon of Neric or Utnayan, but I think that"s the point Ut is trying to make.

Alchemy? Unless I"m remembering wrong, that was release.

So it"s an invalid comparison because there"s a possibility Blizzard may lie to their customers some time in the future?

I"m betting the cousin turns out to be legally blind in his left eye, which happens to be the side the robber attacked from. Just a hunch.

Wait a second...your wife"s cousin was in the car also, am I getting that right? So not only did your wife miss this alleged robber, but her cousin did too? Two adults don"t notice someone walking up to the car and ganking a purse? What"s next in this bullshit story of yours?
