2018 Recap and Upcoming Plans

[Forward]

If you read through the rest of my posts you can probably enlighten yourself some more, but seeing you are blinded by your own radical vision I'll try to explain it one more time. Yes a majority voted to remove build points. No it's not a decisive majority, over 80% for example. We have received constructive feedback on possible ways to alter the buildpoints. Rather then throwing that away, we are going review that and come up with a PoC. We might run a second poll depending on the views within the development team.

Majority voted with their feet and went afg long before that poll. 76% of current players don't like your feature and you can't ignore it.

No need to discuss it again and again on developers' forum.

The truth is always simple.

Just remove them.

You really having a hard time reading and understanding what I am trying to say don't you. We are reviewing the feedback provided by the 13 percent that proposed altering the current system. We know that the 63 percent wants and we know what the 24 percent wants and now we are trying to create a PoC that might work for all. In none of my posts I explicitly said I am going to ignore any of the groups.

You're having really hard time understanding what I'm trying to say to you as well.

No need to spend weeks reviewing feedback and trying to create something which might work (and might not!) if there is a simple, easy and effective solution available if form of removing build points completely.

Moreover, you can make another poll about which building system people like more (old or new). So may be old system was better then new that means whole old system should be restored in it's full glory? That might be another alternative solution of this build points problem. Because in reality even removing them will only partially solve the issues in new build and whole support system.

The "old system" is never coming back, not going to make a poll on that.
There is absolutely no reason to apply styling to text to emphasize your arguments, I am more then capable to read.
I fear that by removing build points at this moment, we'll fall back into a state where there is a huge imbalance between ranged and melee classes, which was one of the main aspects of introducing build points. I also don't think, like Terath pointed out to me in a PM, that the majority of failures in runs are because of the lack of build points, but more because there is not enough barricades being build, not enough players equipped for Ragnarok, or just people not paying attention in general.

I'll have to ask; if so many of your views and the views of developers misalign, why bother sticking around? It's not like the majority of your radical views will ever find their way in game.

1. 'The "old system" is never coming back'. Why? If new system is worse these is no reason to keep it.
   
2. There is not forum rule again styling to text to emphasize some thesises, so why not, it makes text easier to read.
   
3. NI don't need melee classes in that form you try to make them work. Whole idea of buffing infantry had leaded to this mod decline.
   
4. Completely agree, not only building points lead to Rag fails, but whole new building system does.
   
5. Not only 'my views'. Whooping 63% of players voted decisevely to remove build points. If views of developers and players misalign - developers might be wrong, otherwise it's going to be dead mod soon. You make the game to players play it. Play it the way they found it fun. You can't tell them what fun and what not. You just make features to make them happy. Happy players mean donations, donations mean don't need to shut down AU servers. It's just first call. First AU, then NA and then whole mod is dead.
   
6. I'm practicing my English and have a lot of pleasure from our discussions here. My views are not radical at all and I hope they will find their way into the game some day.
