    did you all stop to think that perhaps this was one quest of 4 that could be coming out that will involve a beast to spawn in all 4 cities that will challenge each person, even dealing with enemy statuses with said cities?  just a thought here

    rage:  How long it takes for bugs to be fixed, if ever at all!!   grrrr  I mean I get it, there are not that many people in the coding pools that can fix the bugs but at least assign a week or day or something where one person goes over them, and tries to solve them, instead of just merging them into another that has already been submitted and then letting it sit even further!  And yes I get it, some are so complex that it may change and entire class and such, but for the ones that would be a var change or adding in another var or just a quick fix, then get it done and move on.  This affects new players just as much as the old ones and could stop them from playing.  I know I have stopped playing for a few months at a time just because a bug was not getting taken care of!

    We don't know the code so it's a bit unfair to say how easy a bug may or may not be to fix. Beyond that, I agree in that I wish bug fixes were faster/frequent.

    I would love bugs to get fixed too. Yet I know for a fact a couple of the ones I have reported are not easy to fix, as they are old code issues. Still having said that I have noticed they get looked at more in the last 12 months than when I started 4-5 years ago, which is always nice.

    You place your fingers to your mouth, and focusing mentally on your trusty steed you blow hard, creating a sharp, carrying whistle.
    A donkey trots in, beckoned by its master's call.

    A stout donkey stands patiently by, waiting for a burden. The shining figure of a guardian angel floats in the air here. Daskalos is here. He wields a spiritual mace

    Daskalos's aura of weapons rebounding disappears.
    Chanting a vibrant mantra, Daskalos raises his arms up. Painful bolts of lightning smoke into a donkey, leaving him white-faced and spent.
    The final blow proves too much for a donkey, who expires, pitifully.
    A donkey has been slain by Daskalos.
    A donkey, your loyal companion, has been slain by Daskalos.

    Actually, I found most people were pretty fair in that Brawl. Beyond Rou trying to snipe people while they were fighting, everyone else I encountered was good about teaming. When it was 5 of us left, even though we were jammed into 1 room in a huge clusterunicorns, we let each other 1v1 a pair at a time.

    Then again I didn't really do anything that Brawl besides chase Rou around and then die to Xiuhcoatl.

    I actually was surprised at how well people did in teaming. The only one who really did it was like 2 people, and if you were being sniped just had to send a tell to the other person and they stopped it pretty quickly. TBH I disagree that lame players shouldn't be allowed to enter, a win is a win no matter how it's attained. However, I have pretty romantic views of games. Almost got teamed down like 3 times in that, but either just asking for a break and explaining the situation or getting out of it on my own stopped it. 

    Kinda mad Illidan and Isto weren't there. They're who I really wanted to fight in the TFA, and I'm pretty sure I would have lost to one or the other if it came down to it. Most people have offenses I already know too well so weaving inbetween them makes it incredibly easy to get kills, those two are the only ones who mix it up. Not to mention I really need to figure out a way to stop that torc of telepathy from messing my day up or the loki spam of shaman class into being bashed to death or empowered instant kill.
  • I had an instance where I actually crashed Mudlet (leave it up for days might be bad), and Rou was kind enough to let me reset. So at least he wasn't too much of a slippery bastard.

    This is always my biggest complaint when I play games, so I feel you. The biggest impediment to good bug fixing is the sheer scale of the list. A solid 40% at least of our bug list is no longer applicable - skills were replaced in a revamp, the bug was fixed and not marked as such, or it's simply a duplicate. Weeding through all that chaff to find the wheat (and especially wheat relevant to you personally) is difficult indeed. However, that doesn't eliminate the need for us to go through and fix things, nor does it allay your frustration. Expect a thread from me soon for some options.

    You sorta asked for that when you decided to fight a Shaman in retardation. A lot of people just don't understand how much of a double edged sword it really is. Any affliction class shouldn't have much of a problem with a mage inside of it.

  • Retardation is a situational skill, like almost every skill in Aetolia.

    Every skill, by itself, is utter crap. That's why you use these utter crap skills situationally, to achieve an end-goal.

    This is what we call tactics, which is why IRE is lauded for its bombastic player-vs-player conflict and interaction. If this doesn't suit your interests, you are absolutely welcome to go play a SMAUG-mud and type 'kill dude' and hope you land critical blows to the neck.

    Taking a character that I LOVE to play and making a hugely MAJOR shift with him because of boredom and lack of interest in the orgs he was in...

    ...and finding an even -worse- level of boredom and quiet and silence when I log into him now, in his new life. Sorta feel like the whole shift was a giant waste now.

    That story you hear about Player X pulling a 2000 Credit artifact out of his third chest or Player Y spinning his way to Azudim on the Wheel should be taken as the rarity, not the norm.

    When people discuss IC stuff that hasn't been out in the open in OOC webs. I don't mind chatting about stuff in webs, I really don't. I actually don't mind it.. but when people start asking what's going on and probably taking it IG without trying to find out through the game, my left eye twitches. I've been guilty of it in the past, I know, but it's something that I'm trying to get a handle on.

    I also dislike when I go into those situations by roleplaying out my character because I think everyone else is, too, and end up giving out information that I meant to give.. only they're not. Then I look silly. :(

  • I'm... I don't know, disgruntled by the fact that the people I've been happily playing with have run off, either due to RL reasons (understandable) or to play those godawful RPIs. People get bored and move on, I know, and I have plenty of other games to keep me busy and entertained and content, but I've lost all motivation to play Aet again. And while this normally wouldn't be a bad thing, I actually had been enjoying it again.
