I don't think there is anything I can say that would assuage anyone at this time other than, "We are rolling back the changes." I can't make that call but all of the feedback we have received and HOW it was received is certainly noted. I will certainly talk to some people about the reaction. I just want to be clear, I am…

The login screen is a feature. *winces from the inevitable*
-
There is indeed still a matchmaking system, however it is not as efficient as one might expect since it is tuned to get players playing in a match in a shorter time frame and there is not a large enough spread of players always playing PvP. This means the folks higher ranked often get paired with lower ranked players…

Wot?
-
Well it just ended yesterday so we have to pull the data logs and sift through it first. I would be inclined to tell you what we are looking for but that could be a self fulfilling prophecy, of course even this could be one... ARG! tldr; nothing to share yet, but thanks for the enthusiasm.
-
Thanks for your feedback guys, keep it coming! We have a meeting next week to give it another playtest, review everything you guys have been saying and decide what changes to make. We were hoping the animations would make it more intuitive but it doesn't seem to be reading as well as anticipated and I believe there was one…
-
Alright, I think we found the second issue, please try again and let me know if you still have issues.
-
This should have been resolved already, is someone still having issues this moment?
-
We have talked about iLevel and its deficiencies. It is something we would like to improve upon at some point.
-
FYI if you couldn't tell already I like to play Devil's Advocate.
-
The forums are largely only the enfranchised players and only some of them. Most players do not visit the forums let alone even post anything. Not saying those voices are wrong at all, just that it is not the whole iceberg if you will. Player surveys are hard. A small small fraction of players ever respond to these sorts…
-
Come at the issue from the developers side and think about these questions: How do you know it is universally hated? If so many people hate it, why would they keep doing it (admittedly, some subset of players will do whatever is hated if it gains them power)? How do you measure how many people are doing it despite hating…

Except players did do it. A lot. What some people say and what we see players do are not always the same. Again, though I'm not saying its tuned right, but its probably not grossly off from my feelings of personal gameplay.

We are certainly monitoring this and I will try to have a conversation with some folks to see if it is where we think it should be, though a system like this takes some time to see how they pan out since there is a LARGE demand for Voninblod in the beginning and very little later on.
-
There are certainly balance concerns with Boons (+30k HP!) that we will need to address at some point. It is not currently our biggest focus for either game balance or PvP premade group concerns. Our solution for premades will likely come before any changes to the boon situation.
-
We will look into this issue. It is definitely annoying.
-
That is so annoying, I am going to make sure that is being tracked to be fixed right now.
-
Announcement about this Soon™
-
We definitely have plans to improve the premade vs solo queue issues. One of our recent experiments was the Solo queue the other week and we have more coming that we plan to lead to a permanent solution for players. This is an issue we are definitely talking about and have in our minds.
-
Question: What is your long term plans with Mimics and Mimic related activities?
-
I'm not sure follow what you are trying to say. Gateway shutdown had nothing to do with AH botter names listed. Is this related to the blind auction system mentioned elsewhere? That is a significant change to how our AH works and would only have helped one of the avenues of transferring goods and not the botting activity…
-
Longer tasks might help in the short term but the real issue is making game progression without actually having to play the game. A certain amount of it is great so the players who don't play every day don;t have to feel like they are behind the ones who play more often. Too much and the economy only inflates and inflates…
-
Improving professions is something near and dear to a few of us. I would like to have an update on it within the next few modules. There is nothing planned yet but there is a lot of missed potential with how it currently is in a number of ways. @andorrabell We have not yet decided a place for the SCA rewards yet, we still…
-
We are aware, not sure yet what happened. I think you can use the Steam overlay to get there indirectly.
-
@nameexpired There are no dwindling players on the PC shard, our numbers have been stable for a while. We actually have seen an uptick of players just from announcing PS4 and continuing through M10. @truckula We currently plan to remove the UI and quests that mention Gateway with the next module release. I have also…
-
It was certainly one of the costs, yes. There was also the extra dev costs of keeping a feature, the extra servers and knowledge needed to maintain them as well. How did we determine what people used in gateway? It was a website, those are very easy to track what players are doing. Also, when we are being 'aggressively…
-
That is an interesting and flavorful place to put them.
-
Lockbox is not likely where we would put them, no. Personally, I would like to see the Lightfoot Thief come from some gameplay related activity.
