Very concerned this was not offered in the past, let alone NOW with how struggling it is to get gold at 60! Don’t B/S us with dupe figures & the same people who are on at the same time & can get into limited slots for events. That is not the rest of the player base!
Tell your team to pull finger & start caring about the game, THINK, hell even play it & realize how wrong they are all the damm time!
Enough is Enough, Its beyond ridiculous, you has a beta, ignored feedback & bugs & they all were there at release, Even 2 of the dupes!.
No excuses. Show more respect for your players & do the right thing! Well what is left of them, Our server is damm near dead & Zero outpost rush, towns cant even pay taxes. Good JOB killing the game, DO NOT KEEP IT UP!
First off, thank you for your hard work. What you do means a lot to us even if we’re upset. Since you’re a professional, I hope you understand this feedback is more about your bosses than you.
Sentiment is for the first time. I’m going to be a bit rude here, but it isn’t towards you specifically. What you said represents a tone I haven’t had affirmation of before, but now I do.
AGS has continued dunking us over and over again into shut downs and treated players as expendable tokens, that’s torture. It’s up to us to decide if we’re being water boarded or water wheeled, but based on your response it doesn’t matter because no one cared to begin with. Yes you’re shutting down for the best reasons, but while you’re playing damage control we’d appreciate someone taking a few seconds to kick our bodies even if your can’t be bothered to check for a pulse.
I personally don’t care about lost gold, but your response makes me think that players mean little to the people who make decisions. That I do care about given the toxic, manipulative rhetoric I’ve seen over the last fifteen years I’ve worked in customer service.
Forum Moderators and Devs aren’t equipped to handle the failures of your higher ups, and it’s a shame you continue to handle some confrontations you have no control in other than telling people sucks to suck for now, but we’ll see about it.
So pass on this message instead.
60 man Fantasy Companies may win wars, but all of us win paychecks for your very real company.
it would just make sense that ya know… the innocent players who werent cheating and who did nothing wrong get reimbursed for all the money they lost. I mean, just seems logical to me that people who put in hours upon hours to earn money, grinding away, who then lost the ability to earn money from their sales, AND lose money to expired sale orders because of wealth transfer shutdowns be compensated for such losses. In real life if a bank just decided to shut down all withdrawals and deposits for days, because of a hack. They would be responsible for any lost money that shut down caused. Right? seems logical… right?
This is genuinely one of the major drawbacks of building a game with a “player driven” economy.
You’re going to need to handle stuff like this with basically a similar level of aggression from people as if it were real money.
Once you start to lose the confidence of players that have stood by this game throughout all its teething problems, thats when you need to sit up and take a bit of notice
I actually didnt lose a lot of gold in TP fee’s, probably 200 gold max
But i lost time in game because my storage overflowed, i used silly amounts of azoth to try to manage my inventorys
All because of a circumstance out of my control
You really do need to think of some way to reimburse these folks who have lost 1,000’s in TP fee’s
You made your game so that gold is not easy to accumulate, then you take what they have earned away to fix something out of their control.
needs to be a thing… companies do not play the game, players do…
It should be a thing. I bust my butt to make a little money grinding away in this game to pay the taxes on my houses and I can’t even utilize the aspect that makes me money to pay taxes because the TP is down. I like this game but there needs to be some adjustments. I truly believe that you cant have PVP and PVE in the same game because there will always be hackers that PVP and they will always ruin the experience for the PVEers. Its a damn shame. I am sure they are working on fixes and its not their fault that there are ***holes out there but at least do what is right for the majority of us who are trying to play the game honestly and as intended.
I agree with this aswell, i left 1 day and 3 day orders in the TP, pretty much all of the 1 day items i was trying to sell didnt sell and i have to relist them
I do think we should be reimbursed as its not fair, I was selling void ore 5k each by no means cheap on the tax
Honestly, I does not appear this team understands the problem. We still pay taxes and listing fees, which goes to the companies controlling the territory. Then the companies get compensated on top of that and individuals have to pay those fees and taxes again.
Its baffling to me how they did not instead just freeze timers on taxes and listings whenever trading is disabled, or automatically compensate everyone, or simply prorate them down.
@Kay While I am not asking for a reimbursement myself. Isn’t it kinda bad form to give compensation only to companies that own territory? I understand that those fees are far higher than my taxes, but really shouldn’t you have just froze taxes and fees if you are giving one part of the community compensation?
I mean companies still getting compensation while we still pay them taxes. While it may not be popular you are picking favorites here.
I think that this may well be the first MMO I have played where players in general have not been compensated in some way big or small for inconvenience and loss of game functionality. Heck, I’ve even played some that give out small tokens of good-will just because of regular maintenance outages.
How about they wipe all the servers and player progress as reimbursement
i’d take it…
Can I respectfully level with the team here? I appreciate the work you do, and thank you for all of it. BUT
You’re compensating the territory owners, but not the entire player-base who didn’t cheat or exploit?
The games economy is based around the trading post, so when that gets disabled, it needs to be assumed that players income is also stunted in a large amount. There needs to be compensation for those who
- Had items on the TP that costed money to put on the TP because these expired during the freeze. Money wasted.
- People who own houses who have to pay taxes… The game itself does not earn you sufficient gold unless you are using the TP.
In general think about your player base who didn’t exploit and have stuck with you through this. Please honor that.
Thanks.
I have to agree with you. Taking a line from their own CoC play fair. Selecting one group for compensation and not others is not playing fair. Their own CoC states that we need to be inclusive but from what they do they aren’t willing to fully follow their own rules.
Only the Richest get reimbursed, just like in real life.
lol, how about pain and suffering too? they’ll probably hire for game masters too, but not one-per-server, maybe one per like 10 or 20 servers, but primarily accidental ban control, in-game issues, and then on the other side, authoritative server project.
There’s no subscription model so they may not provide too much in-game people, but the other two staff departments are easy to achieve to save the game base, and have relaunch potential.
the thing is that gold that companies lost is nowhere near as comparable, losing 50k between 100 players is much less impactful than someone losing 2-3k who is not in a company that owns territory.
Can I let you on a little secret folks?
It’s called Amrine. People like it. It’s fast. If ur a pro, 1200 gold an hour is salvage + quests + eventual postings.
But just casual, 600. Gold problems solved forever. You’re welcome.
Amrine is nearly guaranteed to run on all servers at all times. If ur server at any time is not running Amrine, start a thread. thanks. (in loving memory of Amrine, and the companies dedicated to her, the savior of gaming, 2019.)
Do they not get our taxes from property, trading post, and crafting stations? If they do why is it only fair that they get compensation and no one else should? Do our fees not go into the territory owners coffer?
My main question for them is why only target a select group of players for compensation while still leaving timers on for everyone else?
I have enough on my character to cover my fees for a while that’s why I’m not asking for reimbursement for myself. But the fact that they are only targeting a part of the player base is just wrong. I make enough from town boards and faction quests daily to cover my taxes in like 2 days of playing.
