Test Release Notes - April 7, 2010 - Discussion

[Edward Edgemenace]

Yes, you've expressed your opinion, denying the facts that the change itself is yet-another-downgrade and that it will (and has already) driven people away. You can think that is minor, all you want.

I am not certain where the venom in your reply is coming from but I am certain that it is unwarranted.

Yes, you've expressed your opinion,

I know. Isn't democracy great?

denying the facts that the change itself is yet-another-downgrade

I am NOT denying the facts. I am DISAGREEING with your interpretation of the facts. If I ran around thinking that I am the "Keeper of the Facts" I could say to others, "You don't like the changes? Why are you denying the facts?" I honestly can't see how adding the tiniest little bit of strategic thinking to the game is such a huge problem. It is, in my opinion only, not a downgrade to ask myself, "What weapons do I want to have in an Invasion?" It is not a downgrade to spend almost four mouse-clicks and 7 seconds to add a weapon to the belt.

and that it will (and has already) driven people away.

Really? Because the on-line numbers of the guild I am in has doubled. More than doubled actually. And for the first time since the new caves went on line, I am seeing one or both of the test servers showing up as Ideal and not Quiet.

You can think that is minor, all you want.

I DO think it's minor and I don't need your permission to think it. POF is really a discussion forum and I like the two-way conversations we get into here. Lots of people disagree with me. I like that.

It is my personal opinion that the hardest part of the update to deal with is that it changes the way "it used to be." It is different and some of us hate different.

I personally want different ... it is the status quo on open that is losing older players or having them go basic and take a break from the game. Until disney brings in the updates and new content people that have played long periods are finding other things to do.

Your guild has more than doubled in numbers. Congratulations .

My guild has is nearly maxed and has been, members are waiting for new content and there has been numerous occasions in the past few weeks that only one or two members out of 480+ have been online.

We have been entertaining ourselves with sloop races, dolly tag and hide and seek, scavenger hunts, role play spying, pvp and privateering. Before you think disney has given us these wonderful things to do think again, they are what bored pirates come up with to do with the limited opprtunities we have.

I used to shop but clothes choices became fewer.

I guess I will go stand on a box and flip a coin a while.
