Big respect for the initial devs, testers that brought us this game

Just wanted to say (a belated) thanks to the crew that brought us this game.
The beta stage was a model of community involvement and responsive agile development.
We players had a voice and you heard us.
The load testing in the Enclave with increasingly frequent 'invasion' events was brilliant.
Well done to ya all.

    Quite ironic to praise testers and devs considering all the bugs this game has and how slow Cryptic is to respond.

    LOL this game isn't so bad. Sure, it's still a bit rough around the edges, and people can write entire essays about one niggling little thing or another that pisses them off to no end, but that's how people are. For the most part, it's a fun game, and the devs/community gets a B+ in my book.

    You mean little things like the recent AD exploit (not the first one), the dungeon chest bug and the slow response to it or that they can't even get unlocking a (overpriced) pack right?

    Is this the part where you write an essay about the lockboxes? What about how the devs are supposed to have magic powers/ESP to know about every tiny little exploit that a large, determined, and clever playerbase can come up with? I'm not saying the devs are the best devs in the universe, but you gotta let them be human, at least.

    Just think about it.

    The way I see it, you are the one writing a whole essay, ixalmaris used 2 lines of wordings to describe everything that wrong with this game and the devs and it makes perfect sense.
    you on the other hand use 4 lines and there was still no logic to anything you said.

    "Everything wrong with this game" is not going to fit on 2 lines. There are hundreds of bugs... take your pick. Look at the foundry, FFS. LOL

    My point is that, given the complexity of this game, the very human devs have done a B+ job. You can disagree with me on that, and I'm sure many folks would chime in with an F minus because everything's not perfect, but that's just the way people are. I fail to see how any of this has to do with logic. It is just common sense.

    Neverwinter isn't any more complex than most other games on the market and I would even say less complex than many MMOs. Yet the recent flood of bugs and exploits are far above average.

    Hey, if you say so. I'm sure you've played a lot more MMOs than me. Neverwinter has been out for what? Little over a year? I'm sure other F2P MMOs of that age put NWO to shame. :)

    While we do appreciate the positive feedback, it is the fact that this thread has become argumentative and unproductive that is precisely the reason that we cannot allow such threads to remain open.

    Sort of a way of saying "this is why we can't have nice things".
