Anyone notice if you go to mimicking's account page on this forum, it says he hasn't been active since October 14th? That's as of October 25th. I guess maybe he only browses the forum when on a secret alt account...or not logged in...right...? I guess I just find it all hard to believe.
-
Why won't they engage in a discussion with us? Why won't they reply?
-
No, he doesn't care and never did. Any statement to the contrary is proven false by a 51 page (and counting) thread where he is absent.
-
No, you're not reading it right. He's saying to watch out for a bug where after you open the chest, you don't get the loot in your inventory. You won't be able to see the loot in advance in any way. Only after you open the chest can you see the loot, and by that time the key is used no matter what.
-
I appreciate you letting us know. It's crystal clear you're passionate about the game and community relations. You don't want the game to crash and burn. Your sincerity rings loud and clear. But you had a discussion with them...so what? Honestly, it's nice to know that at least they are talking to someone, but so what? The…
-
Look at how much typing in this thread has helped. Look at how much they communicated with us. If you are being completely intellectually honest, do you really think typing stuff in the other thread is going to make any difference? Who here could believe that? This update is going live, that much is obvious. So any ideas…
-
It's really hard to give feedback to the devs without feedback from the devs in response about what's right and what's wrong with our ideas. Honestly the number one thing I think the devs could do at this point is come through on their promise about better communication. Interact and engage with the forum users frequently…

Okay, fair enough. But most of the major changes that need to happen first are directly related to the ways in which the company makes money from players in this game, and I don't personally believe the devs have much if any say as to the ways they make money from players. Like this change to the keys, I would guess that…
-
What kind of ideas are they looking for? On the most basic level, my suggestion would be to stop changing the game to cater only to whales, and start catering to the audience of adults who play who understand that servers and game development cost money and who are willing to support the game as long as it's fun and not…

If they increase the drop rate percentages, how will we know they aren't just going from like 0.01% to 0.0125? The only idea I can think of is that we will need to know the old percentage and the new percentage for each item on the loot tables. Otherwise they'll just say "Ah yeah we will increase the drop rates, no…
-
Is this how the developers want it to be? The community and devs at each others' throats so often. The community at each others' throats in response. Community moderators left to fend for themselves trying to explain things without official support. Many posters threatening to quit. Some maybe actually quitting.…
-
I'm not sure if you meant it like this, but when you said "that's all we've ever asked for" it sounds like you're talking about everyone who posts here, including me. Panderus writing "you have been heard" doesn't mean anything to me. Him writing that is the same as silence as far as I'm concerned since he hasn't replied…
-
Really? It doesn't really feel like it.
-
I understand and agree that the devs need feedback on the key issue. It's just not the only issue. There is another one - whether they lied. I have feedback the devs can use on that issue too: - make a statement in response to all this discussion. The silence isn't making anything better, and the silence may be making…
-
Also, even if the decline button was initially added to the game so a player could decline loot the player didn't want, it's entirely possible, plausible, and reasonable that after adding keys to the game, the devs decided at any point in time since then to keep the decline button in the game for the exact purpose of…
-
It's dishonest to characterize my argument that way. I'm not asking them to "lie and say it was a lie." I believe they lied, and if so then apologize for it. Simply because you say your argument is the truth doesn't make it the truth. In fact, I don't believe your explanation is the truth at all. I think it's a retcon of…
-
If I understand you correctly, you are arguing that whether they lied or not is not really a big deal. If that's what you're saying (and I could be misunderstanding you), then I disagree very strongly... I see two primary issues here: - Issue one is I think they lied about something to their customers, intentionally and…
-
The reason it's a "danged if you do, danged if you don't" situation right now for you is that even if it wasn't a lie (and it really looks like a lie to me), but even if it wasn't, there are a ton of other reasons why this change is bad for everyone unless they drastically improve the loot and drop tables. So they're…
-
Changes to chests, keys, and such are planned well in advance. It's entirely possible that they programmed in the decline button with full knowledge they were going to introduce keys into the game, so that players could decline in order to not use a key. This scenario I'm presenting here is just as plausible if not way,…
-
More lies. I'm never giving another dime to this company. The end.
-
I can see it now. "Ah yeah we were going to increase the loot tables and drop rates the whole time...whoops! Sorry we forgot to mention it in the blog." And then they won't say what the drop rates are now or will be after the change, but it's going to be a change from like 0.01% to 0.0125% for the good items. It won't be…
-
Calling it a bug is an intentional lie. Even if they decide to roll back this change, don't forget that they first tried to get away with this by intentionally lying. As far as I'm concerned, this company isn't worth doing business with now or ever again in the future, because even if they decide to roll back this change,…

There is no way the RNG for these upgrades is true RNG. It's some kind of formula. If it's true RNG (as in if it says 5% then it's really 5% and nothing else in the equation), then they would tell us here. But they won't, because it isn't.
-
They don't care. You are a tiny fish in a sea of whales.

I'm about halfway done farming voninblood (from relic farming) so I can get into FBI. Just because I'm doing it doesn't mean I like it. The opposite is true: I dislike it strongly. This isn't a matter of degree, where I could say I have "a little fun" doing it. No. I have absolutely no fun doing it in any way, and in fact…

1. Are you the kind of person to answer tough questions by the community, or will you ignore them? I don't just mean for tomorrow for the AMA. I mean for the future as well. Months from now, will you still be willing to get in the trenches with us to answer questions and concerns from the community on a frequent (if not…

I've been hording salvage in the hopes that we'll have a 2x AD event before 2017. Will the salvage value change affect items I already have in my bank right now? Or will the salvage value change only apply to items I acquire after mod 10 goes live? If it's going to change all the stuff I already have I will go ahead and…
