Crafting is well and truely ****** in BoL

If I were to list the number of things this has applied to with Daybreak, we'd be here until New Year's 2021.

 

Sadly they have emitted another steaming pile.

 

That is what they do best at these days!

 

Dey Break Games.

They can hate that all they want, they stop earning it, they'll stop hearing it.

 

Siggy is not happy at all with the current crafting situation. Everything is not fine, and even stranger is that I've liked quite a few of her posts.
It's like being in the Twilight Zone.

 

Yeah, it's very scary finding myself agreeing with Siggy.

 

I noticed not a peep was mentioned about tradeskilling in Friday's update notes, nor anywhere else.

Seems they've managed to piss virtually everyone off this year. Tradeskilling, itemization, progression, bugs - All of it.

 

Well the way they've broken crafting this year pretty much affects everyone well before you start to look into the adventure content problems.

 

It's almost like losing your only crafting developer and not replacing, mean while dumping the itemisation for it on an already sinking ship was not a good idea...

Can it really be that hard to make gear somewhat progressive?

Handcrafted
Quest Lines
Solo Zones
Mastercrafted
Heroic
T1 Raid
HM Heroic
T2 Raid
T3 Raid
etc.

It's not like they don't have thousands of potency on each item to work with...

 

Its not rocket science, when you have players offering to help solve that problem on the 'special' servers a year or so ago. But to DBG, it is rocket science. All they seem to be able to do is counting the money that they get from the players and complain its not enough and why is the amount dwindling YET again!

 

As long as the code compile it is good for DBGs standards... so even if they took help from their player base the code can't be more buggy then it is at the moment.

 

You are wrong, Sir! Wrong!!

In touching on why the game is growing again, Longdale specifically talked about the team's focus on humility and transparency.

P.S. I know some of you probably feel I'm being too harsh when I accuse Longdale of flat-out lying.

But seriously, now that you have seen what the expac looks like and how things have been handled, go back and read the transcript of this interview from Oct.

90% of what she said was absolutely dishonest, and there is zero chance she wasn't willfully lying in order to pump pre-order sales.

It was one thing to read this thing in Oct, reading it now is the best entertainment they've put out in years. Seriously, they ought to just go into maint. mode and let Longdale do more marketing and PR.

I couldn't stop laughing.

Episode 7 – Interview with Holly Longdale

P.P.S. Chrol has actually been pretty friendly and responsive this year. Ttobey and the rest of the art folks, they did a great job as always. Kaitheel - good dude.

Gninja has chimed in a few times to be defensive. Better than nothing.

And yet despite all this positive behavior, the golden triad of Kander, Caith, and Windstalker have ensured DBG's glorious tradition of causining cudtomers to feel they've been had.

 

Pretty much sums up the EQ2 team. Kind of sad because Caith used to be far more open/responsive before he had all the **** dumped on him during layoffs #1, 2, 3, 4 and #5

 

Interesting... most of them are showing up properly in game now... that problem was bugged during beta. That's some serious... gymnastics... to make it appear properly in game and yet busted in census.

 

/headdesk
mmm.. Can I use a specific person's head for that?

 

What a pain in the rear.
