Hey Folks!
 
Were still here. Unfortunately demands on investigations have pulled my team away from the forums more than we would like and until the RESTART duping situation is resolved it may be this way for awhile. Please understand that were doing more than just looking at a user and saying "Yep, thats a dupe!" were actively trying to find all copies of duplicated items, cards, consumables, and etc items. We are also fulfilling whatever information requests the studio has such as error logs, server log, character activity logs, etc. This is in addition to our normal weekly duties of running GM SQL requests, preparing server patches, testing 16.2 and other updates. This includes Astra and Magus who have been doing much of the work needed to correct the rough translations we receive for content updates. (If you think its bad you should see what we receive)
 
TL:DR Were busy, unfortunately forums need to come last when it comes to our free time.
 
On the good news front for RESTART we have the testing version of the skill delay update delivered yesterday and we now have a hardware allocated towards being a RESTART Sakray. Please note that it may take up to a few weeks to configure the Sakray due to IT team availability. For this update we will be having a testing day on friday  on Renewal Sakray where we verify that the changes work. 
 
Were going to pump our breaks on changing the high weapons box for a week or two so that we have time to make sure we are doing this right but at the same time will be reviewing OBB, OPB, and the half a dozen gift box drop lists so that we are consistent across the board. The new target for these changes is May 2nd. . We will be releasing our lists of changes by the 20th so that there is time for discussion on the subject.

What about status reset?

[FrozenTeardrop]

Definitely appreciate the quick note but you do not actually owe it to us to have to explain what your work week involves and how it is spent.  You dont report to us and for the people who have actually asked that just shows how ignorant they are.

 

Its a losing battle.  This lip service will only placate the people for so long and then they start again and its a never ending process.  Many games dont post updates until the update is actually live or very close to being live (a few days).  Being given a calendar has spoiled people and now people expect that every month.  

 

Don't get me wrong feedback is important but feedback should not dictate to how this server is run because of the select few believe they know what is best.  Restart Sakray should definitely help on that front though.

I think theyre trying to stop to flow of leaving players. The game gets emptier every week and mis or lack of communication was one of the prominent issues

I fear the crack down on duping will hurt certain newer guilds who RMT'd to try to catchup to the lead guild on server. Thus reducing competition and killing the WoE scene even faster.

Good note, well done ... keep it up.

Guess that depends on how they handle items lost because they were duped.

Let's say I bought a duped item:
- do I get the paid zeny back but lose the item? (Acceptable way, semi work)
- do I get the same item with a legit number and the seller loses the zeny? (Best case, most work)
- do I lose the item and seller loses the zeny? (Possible but harsh way, only little less work than best case)
- do I lose the item and seller keeps the zeny? (worst case, lowest work)

Dupped and RMT come hand in hand. So not sure how it will work since most dupped tems were bought with real $$.

I don't think a lot of dupped items were vended. The one's worth dupping are not vended cause they're well over 1Bil.

Many of us have been around for this game much longer than staff and understandably get annoyed when getting ignored.
 
I personally appreciate Camp's post because when I first started and the GMs made a decision, it basically came from god and there was nothing you could do about it. While WPP is not the DMV that was Gravity in the early years, we are all much older now. They should expect complaint-box feedback to come with the suggestions and occasional praise. This forum is not unusual at all and in-fact I would say it is nicer than some, so I don't see where your contempt is coming from.
 
This is a forum for feedback. WPP should want open discussion being available to the public. Maybe you want constructive back and forth happening between staff and guild leaders, where you need connections to participate, but I don't. It would be good to see reports with this much thought and attention coming from players as well (about bots, errors, glitches, etc) but what kind of posts do you think discourage that kind of effort?
