Let me say, I am not bashing the game in any way, or the MODS here *hint hint* but I want to know what exactly what is allowed to be aired as far as gripes with the game?

It's just wierd. This game costs more than others, alot more, thus I think the "intensity" of people's frustrations gets higher because there's alot more at stake. It wouldn't take much to allay fears, but just like the stock market "fear index" investors can get shaky here. In the case of this game, it's a lack of information or way-ahead, which in the corporate world would drop your company quicker than you can say "sell all" to your investment managers.
It wouldn't take much, just a few sentences from the dev team saying "this is what we are providing by that date. There is no intent to do this other thing, though." The fact we don't hear that tells me either there's not alot of focus on this project, or there isn't a plan to speak of. It just really doesn't make sense to me.
The lack of content is frustrating as far s gameplay goes... The kicker is like you say danni, all it would take is some confirmation one way or another to let us know what the deal is... Not being able to advance and being "throttled" so to speak, because of the fact that the game is still not complete is more than frustrating, it feels insulting. The kicker is the utter lack of communication about it.
Again, I will say I am NOT bashing anyone here, just asking what is and is not acceptable to say in these forums, because I get the feeling that what alot of people feel are legit concerns and grievances are being viewed as something else by moderators... Some *CLARITY* would be great.
Thread have been reopen!!
Thread have been clean.
Let's enjoy the forums and keep everything constructive, nice,easy and mature :)
Thank you Boro. Seeing as you are here, this question could actually be answered by you... What exactly is the difference between "flaming and bashing" and legitimately airing grievances and frustration with the current state of the game so we don't have this issue in the future?Quote:

More or less that's it. You can be negative about Tynon but there's a difference between 'this game blows' and 'I'm unhappy because of this'.
It's just that some people spend money here. It's hard to not get "passionate" about where your investment is going, which is where I think the frustration is coming from.
OK, so is it ok for me to say I am frustrated to my wits end with the "standstill progress" in heroic realm and quest in this game and the fact that it's being used as a "lasso" of sorts to keep us held back (because of the fact that the upper levels and heroes are yet to be finished), and that the fact that everything in the heroic realm and quest boss battles is a luck factor based on a random chance of whether or not shayd and cianna can keep the boss stunned (including banish), and the fact that the 10 mil prize in banish is also completely random along with runes, and tavern as well? Is it ok to air that?
I dont see how saying "this game blows" and :Im unhappy" are any different.Quote:

Ahh so if we say something that a mod believes in connotated improperly it will get closed. And obviously by threads being closed and reopened its obvious we we have two mods that dont read things in the same context so we are left at the whim of the mods, threrefor i should be a mod and then we can at least have a 2 out of 3 agreement on things between the modsQuote:

Get a 3 day break from forums. Time for you to stop being respectful and rude.
I don't see how that quote is rude. Just stating that he feels the 2 mods on this thread feel differently about the context in which people say things.Quote:

To be fair boro, yes some of those threads were a bit much but it only happened because the original threads with legit questions in them were closed prematurely, when they could've been edited as you have done with this thread (which i appreciate as i said)... seeing as those that are closed now will probably never be seen by dawn or other devs (because they will drift off into the nether-regions of the forum past page 4 and 5 never to be seen again)...
**EDIT**
my concern is that these grievances will NOT be heard by devs if thread closing because someone besides the OP said something a mod felt inappropriate keeps happening. I much prefer the edit/move on option over this type of moderation. No offense meant to anyone, just looking out for the ideas and concerns of my fellow aerie city dwellers. ;)
We're actually in agreement. I won't go into details but actively spamming because you don't get your way isn't appropiate.Quote:

Edit:- Question was answered in game.
Can i get a 3 day ban too? no fun here without matt, a biased mod and the only actual employee of tynon who can type never answers questions
I tried that and I didn't get a reply to what I asked in the first place, just the same old "generic" response. Is why I started this thread in the first place, and ty boro for shedding some light btw.Quote:
