Felt this should be more publicly displayed

As he posted a few weeks back he is still here and a major part of Classic updates but he does not have the time to post here. The daily business of keeping the game running, communicating with HQ, meetings meetings and more meetings means that I have to take the reins of speaking with the community. And yes, to those who have been complaining of the lack of communication to the Classic community you are not wrong.

As Heim has pulled back from an active presence on the forums I need to be taking a more active role with Classic's community-something I hadn't been as responsible for before. So I am trying to get caught up and want to try to rebuild some of these actively flaming bridges with the folks here on Classic.

We still have producers who are actively involved with getting events, updates and mechanics working for both servers, but they do not have the time to be posting here. My primary responsibility is to communicate between the production team and the community. I have been sending up lots of feedback, but it's clear that I need to be giving more feedback BACK to the community with the results.

Renewal's been getting a lot of attention of recent because of the gigantic merger, WoE lag issues, and many things that have come up from having multiple server populations, personalities and playstyles mashed together onto a single server, Brady Bunch style. In addition, I've had much more time to work with the Chaos players so naturally it's been easier for me to keep in contact with them and respond more quickly to bug reports and other feedback.

So I feel that Classic hasn't gotten the attention I should have been paying to it on the forums (and well everyone made sure to let me know that very loudly). We've been adding a good number of maps and updates during this time but I am well aware of the more scripting intensive requests like WoE 2, seal quest and BattleGrounds are desperately wanted by the Classic community right now.

how about some direct answers to some specific questions

Will the seals operate as they used to back in the old days? (if yes, how are you going to prevent the same abuse as before?)
Will god items expire or be permanent?

this is pretty much the reason why you(Oda) get a free pass from the classic community

So I feel that Classic hasn't gotten the attention I should have been paying to it on the forums (and well everyone made sure to let me know that very loudly).


forum attention is OK, actual fixes are better

We've been adding a good number of maps and updates during this time but I am well aware of the more scripting intensive requests like WoE 2, seal quest and BattleGrounds are desperately wanted by the Classic community right now.


also:

-definitive update plan on episode updates, since the ones from July 2012 are obviously not correct
-response regarding the map spawn changes started in July 2012 and not adjusted since, and a response regarding whether or not 13.2 spawns will ever be implemented
-response regarding the future of food and cooking, and whether or not +10 foods will be sold permanently in the kafra shop(each week they are mentioned to be removed, each week they remain, for better or worse, an answer is useful)
-definitive response regarding the timeline on unbinding account bound gears(OAB, abyss drops, sunglasses, headgears, future considerations), and the issue of account bound gear itself
-response regarding the future of lucky box versus key box
-dialogue regarding the nature of original content versus custom content with regards to all the above, as well as quests(read: keeping classic classic)

that's about all i can think of off the top of my head, start with those and then maybe you can get to the real ugly issues like icewall and cheating and stuff later

I will bug the production team to start getting these answers from you guys, and will be keeping an eye on this thread. As you guys can guess, my self-diagnosed ADHDDD is tragically prevalent, so reminding me of things I have forgotten or just not delivered on is something I will not take offense to. Kind of juggling a lot of plates this week (with the Kag/Ob pages that need to be HTML'd up, quests for next week and the upcoming spotlight ) as well as this quarter, but I will do my best to mend the bond torn by pride and such.

I really hate being cynical about this. I want classic to be as awesome as possible. But...

What an artistic way to provide no information... Who is in charge of classic changes? Is it heim still? Is it some behind the scenes person we don't know about? Its high time they learn to put on their big boy pants and be accountable for what they are doing.

I appreciate hearing from Oda. At least it is a GM post. But it doesn't sound like he's in charge of anything Classic at all. Or at least knows little about it.

Not long. Gotta keep stuff under wraps for just a little while longer, as there is some contractual/jurisdictional stuff that cannot be spoken of before the deals are done.

Hahaha, good to hear. I was worried that maybe Heim had been restricted from posting on the forums for health issues or something (like maybe high blood pressure or anger management xD). Anyway, we really do appreciate all of the hard work you're doing to make this game a success Oda. I'd also like to extend that thanks to the guys that work behind the scenes that don't really post on the forums at all. I know they also do a lot of hard work and I'm sure it helps for them to get some appreciation every now and then as well. :3

Oda did you read this suggestion?
http://forums.warppo...ty-suggestions/

Did your "production team" read it? Can we get your/your team feedback on it?
Or at least can we get an ETA on BG? (implement the old BG then improve it)

Also can we get an ETA on KvM?
KvM is the only balance batch for classic and we really need it, (of course like all balance batches, it has its pros and cons, but the pros out weigh the cons, and it was a HUGE part of classic pre-renewal experience)

Oda it was nice to see you in woe asking about lag. Don't know how much you actually could have done if we said the lag was bad, but it was very nice to see you active.

Thank you.

At first I wasn't sure I wanted to see KvM put in the game, but now I think it would be nice to actually have people online to play with outside of WoE :p_sick:
