Devs Last Chance

To be honest and clear to us and your playerbase.

Not including community rep TrailTurtle (who's doing a good job!)

This topic is a hard-test experiment to conduct if anyone is even at home, and if anyone is there, how long does it even take for a dev to come forth with information about WHO is exactly working on CO, and what they are currently working on.

There is evidence, that someone is working on a few short missions, who may be the same person who worked on vehicles like the recent Widow Bike.

There is evidence, that someone is stealth-patching bugs but has NOT been creating patch notes (which is very frustrating btw!). Things like 'Devices no longer cool-down in inventory' have come to effect, with no notes telling people that this has been changed.

This means that there is HARD EVIDENCE at least 1 person working on CO.

So here is the test:




Rules: TrailTurtle nor users must not poke a dev to appear to answer to this topic, they have to find this topic of their own free browsing, of their own discovery.


TEST #1: How long does it take a dev to come to the forums and recognise this topic.
*Clock has started now (post date/time)

TEST #2:
Who ever comes to this topic, will they tell us how many staff exactly are on CO, and who is working on what EXACTLY? We need to acknowledge the FULL STAFF LINE.

TEST #3: Will who ever comes to this topic tell us; the CO playerbase, that any kind of large content/changes are coming in the future? Lack of patch notes, and the complete erasure of the Calender, has damaged confidence in you. We've heard this, heard that, heard of Dark-Champions, rumors rumors rumors, please clear this up. We are your investors, and have a right to know if our investment is creating any form of projects.

    Snake I like you I think your a swell guy and I agree with most you have said in your many posts but I will say this to you CHILAX man this silly little game is not worth having a heart attack over . If Cryptic continue to f'ck things up end of they day we will move on to other games them on the other hand will be out of a job.

    This game stole my heart, if theyre gunna dump this game the least they can do is give us a foundry if they dont give a toss, people here still do....or try to.

    Hell if i get banned again at least i can say i was the only one who had the balls to make call outs, and stand up.

    All ppl seem to do it get screwed by this games poor development choices again and again, and they accept it like its all ok. Its not all ok.

    Its NOT all ok we converted over 2000 Blood of the Dragons to rank 1 mods....
    Its NOT all ok vehicles weaker than freeforms cost on average around $80 rly cash worth of drifter salvage.
    Its NOT all ok the calander was erased and we werent notified there was no staff working on this for 9 months.

    Too many people, are being screwed and not speaking up... well i'v had enough. I'll put everything on the line if i have to. I wish other people would stop being happy with being unhappy.

    While I do share your sentiments on how the game and the playerbase have been treated, I'm absolutely sure this thread won't accomplish anything.

    You're probably right when you say there's at least one developer working on the game, but asking for them to personally come here and say ''Yes I exist and the game isn't dying'' is ridiculous.

    We have a community rep for a reason. Talking to the players is Trailturtle's job, not the job of the programmers.

    I'd love to see a post from Cryptic's CEO him/herself, but that's not going to happen in a thread like this.

    If there is one dev working on CO, he/she certainly doesn't have time to come skim the forums looking for trolls.

    Besides, Snake, ol' pal, it's Sunday. Even more, it's Super Bowl Sunday. If there are several devs, they're not coming in here today. They're relaxing. You should try it - it can be fun.

    Yeah but thats what they said about Torchlight 2 and i was done with that pretty fast.

    My hopes on Path of Exile were kinda half shot when i realised its mostly a Torchlight 2 clone, like how yu have to keep resummoning resummoning resummoning to make it work.

    The FF10-style sphere grid upgrading looks interesting tho.

    Definitely going to try it when its more filled.

    There's a difference between having the guts to call out devs and begging for a thread to get shut down.

    I haven't actually seen a dev post since Sept. 7th by G. Crush. We can't summon devs onto the forums anymore, Trailturtle is the only staff (Love you, O-Farmer/Smackwell) that actually posts here anymore; and for his sake, I hope he's not here much longer. (Seriously, he's the only good Community Manager we've ever had.)

    As much as I doubt that the devs will post on any thread I don't think that its very realistic to expect them to do so on a Sunday even if they were. Also...
    Secret World was not as entertaining as first thought, im in the progress of seeking a new game...probably just go back to Diablo 2.


    ...OMG how dare you say that about that game!

    Here is the problem: You are guessing that the Devs read the forums at all, that they might even know of your post.

    Well... No.

    That's what they hire a Community Manager like TrailTurtle for. It's HIS job to facilitate communication between the devs and the community. In BOTH directions.

    Devs probably DO read the forums, but it isn't their job, nor their obligation.

    If you want my money, there is a fairly simple way to get it since I am fairly free with how I spend it. First, produce something I consider to be worth buying. Second, offer it up for sale. Don't lock it behind a gambling scam. If I want something, I am perfectly happy to pay for it. But I will not purchase a CHANCE to get it, When I pay money, I have a perfectly logical right to expect to get what I want.

    To the "LOL It's another rage post from Snake, let's all jump him" people who've posted in the thread, I'd like to ask three things:

    1) Where in the post did he demand for a response on the same day during a Sunday?

    2) Why is it assumed that it's expected for a dev to respond in a forum post? Ever heard of SotGs?

    3) Calling someone senile or having Mad Cow's disease...really? You're going to stoop that low?

    Yeah I get that he's made an over-dramatic quit post a while back, but if that can be overlooked, I don't think whatever he's asking is unreasonable.
