Blight Patch 123 Discussion

[Durand]

The patch notes have been up for atleast an hour, and nobody has started a thread. It has to be shock, I guess.

[Peaches]

FIX: Sand Ogres and Dust Grinder will spawn near the crystal lakes

o....m.....f.....g

They got them back. After they've been AWOL for how long?

<sniff>I.....<sniff> I'm overwelmed....talks amungs ya selves.

[Drakarr]

Dust Grinder would be the named one.

[Creme]

Changes look good. I like the change to the Tailoring cog as well as the Master spool form now being in game.

I did not see any crystal stack fixes on the new stat crystals not playing nice with the lower tier stat crystals (and I'm not referring to trying to put a level 60 and a level 80 of the same stat, but mixing matching).

tail whips to top

[Piira Laxdaela]

What's a Keg Cargo Disk formulas build? (stats?)

[Drevar]

Well there was plenty of bugginess still to be had. Sent in a report on pretty much everything but the added ambient music (i play with music off).

And the worst news of all is that Baltorris does NOT REALLY give the form yet. There is still no link in his spiel about choosing to fight or craft. This is like the 4th time its supposed to be finally fixed. No idea what you guys are doing that you think is fixing it, but don't bother to check and make sure it is working....sorry to sound bitchy, but come on...

just goes to show you just can't make some peeps happy!!

Well, how soon we forget that until just a couple of months ago, Blight was dead and Horizons had no future. I'm just glad that they have something to complain about now.

lol believe me, sol, i don't forget!! i see your point, and i share it - just wish peeps could frame their complaints a little more......what's the word i am looking for......gently?

couldn't drev have just stated that a prob remains and not throw in the 'No idea what you guys are doing that you think is fixing it, but don't bother to check and make sure it is working....sorry to sound bitchy, but come on...' part?

i sometimes think peeps think that because one thing gets fixed, everything should be working right off the bat. i guess i think that vi has a lot of work to do, and that we should be thankful they are and to be constructive rather than destructive with our critism and/or comments.
given the list of things that have been repaired, i think one glitch is an acceptable mistake.

but that's just me!

[brainbasher]

well comments aside the fact sent in a report shows keen to help the dev,s with patch help....that has to be positive.
for me having a seasonal event soon will spice up the game...further indicators that new crew are keen to move this game back where it should be

[Kulamata]

It's worth remembering that there are new devs, and old devs doing jobs new to them. It takes time, quite a bit of time, to learn the quirks of the game and, for that matter, of the tools.

Drev

Right, ***** at the devs. Cause, you know, it's not like they have set up a TEST server or anything. Not like there might possibly be a difference between a character on an internal production server and a live one.

I mean, I'm sure that every game developer out there purposely puts forth bugs just to annoy the players. Makes perfect sense to me. Especially with players who ***** at them.

Sarcasm off... You know, Drevar, you could maybe think before you post. Could give the devs a bit of a break and think about the fact that they aren't purposely patching out bugged fixes. Obviously something about live, and even test, characters is different from the simulated ones. Really don't get people who offer to help with one hand, and slap with another.

*shakes his head before walking away from the forums again*
