It seems like the coders of DR, can't tell what the people want.. So do this, create object modelling interface, give people tools to create short programs, with limited execution cycles.. Like a limit of 1000 cycles, 50 messages, 100 lines of code. Make the scripting with functions that make sense. Reward people Kings coins and money on the creation of useful weapons. And award kings coins to people who create monsters that people want to play.. Award people money for spaces people want to be in.. And so on.. Then just continue developing the worlds for the games, to give it some flavor..

Maybe that would be too radical a solution.. Yeah stick to conservative lines of thought, with what we know to work.. Well as the way its developing now, looks like a pilot project, not much funding, more a test bed of understanding about game design. They are looking for a model of gaming that works people, and we are all guinea pigs.. I don't mind, if they made it so I could come up with my own solutions, maybe it would present a style of gaming that they didn't expect.. Then they could patent and copyright it.. And exploit it.. Power to them..

Perhaps you could offer some specific examples of both what you're frustrated with and how you think those frustrations could be resolved instead of trolling? mmmkay?

Oh yeah, so far, this game is what I want, but I guess I'm not one of "the people"...

It sounds like you want the developers to allow end users to be able to write code that could be plugged in to the client and executed. I can't tell you the number of things that are wrong with that. Even teh very few MMOs that allow plugins (WoW is the only one that comes to mind) haven't completely secured them from being able to do bad things. Tacklebox was a prime example (automated fishing).

Suffice it to say that I doubt very much that the devs will allow this.

But then there are those of us (who don't seem to matter to you) who do reward those who create good content, good mobs that we like to fight, and good dungeons that we want to be. We reward them with $5 each month. And there are a lot of us. But I guess 14,000 people don't matter to you. I guess what you want is a game that is so watered down that it might as well be called World of Dungeon Runners or EverDungeonRunners, or even Eve of Dungeon Runners. Hell... why not Lord of the Dungeon Runners.

Go take your dev bashing crap elsewhere. I doubt you'll get so positive a response from them in any other game.

Speaking of game bashing... how do you figure eve-online and everquest are watered down next to DR?

"what you want is a game that is so watered down that it might as well be called ... EverDungeonRunners, or even Eve of Dungeon Runners"

You think this is a hardcore game? Thats just confusing!

There's nothing stopping you from changing to a ranger. Just buy the necessary passives from the Ranger trainer and Respec your attributes. Oh, and pick up a bow or gun.

"Classes" in this game are very loosely defined and aren't the barriers that they are in other MMOs.

I have no idea what you mean here.

I'd hazard a guess that this is Rben trolling under a new account. I could be wrong, though.

Now Eve Online is a perfect example of why the developers must not listen to people whining on the forums.

Before it was hardcore, then they caved into the whiners on the forums and killed the Privateers now it is Carebear Online.
