Hiebe 2493 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hello LotCers young and old, I know we are all await our glorious 4.0 map and all its glorious plugins but I have a few concerns. I for one would like to see a mapped out version of what the Skills/Professions plugin is going to be. Why? Cause I think the players deserve a say. We are the ones playing and most of the time plugins change based on what the players want. Why not save all the trouble and hassle and do it now while 4.0 hasnt dropped yet. This skills plugin is going to save the lotc rp I feel. Im not a big fan of a bunch of secrets, I know there are other ways to "surprise" the playerbase why make it something so important that our future roleplay circles around it. I think we can vote on it and see what happens. If they choose not to release some info on it, meh so what its worth a shot. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helbolt 129 Share Posted April 29, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piVnArp9ZE0 Don't do it! The community is too opinionated and anti-change to ask for too much input! Just give us tidbits as you go like you've been doing. It will work! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iosif 72 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Give us time, don't try to push it artificially. We/ll release a snapshot when the time arises like with Nexus Craft and Magic. :) Sorry but those snapshots were horrible. The magic hardly worked and both plugins were taken down after a while.

Telanir 6975 Share Posted April 30, 2014 What a ringing endorsement. I am filled with confidence. I don't recall you participating in the beta-experience that we organized. Did you watch the videos either? What is your confidence worth after assessing these two points then? No offense man, but the rate at which work is done and the level of confidence portrayed here aren't related by causation in any way. Sorry but those snapshots were horrible. The magic hardly worked and both plugins were taken down after a while. Sorry guys, but I don't speak pessimism. I'm not sure what universe you live in Watcher, but people loved the snapshots, and contrary, they were actually amazing. I know what people think because I spoke to them directly, and they shared their experiences with me. A buggy experience is intentional, it's quite literally slapped on it 'beta'. Nonetheless, even if people didn't like some aspects of the plugin they enjoyed the aspect of being able to be there and witnessing it in progress. Logging on to see so many players playing on the dev and testing it, finding bugs and reporting them-- the experience was awesome and I enjoyed every bit of it. Not sure what else you can wish for than an actual hands on experience, it's incredible that we got it done and handled. The reason why it was taken down later on? The beta-testing is done, pretty obvious explanation. :) Didn't you already make that video on the LotC youtube channel with the spells? I found that fantastic if thats what the 4.0 magic is gonna be. Yes absolutely, we even opened up the beta-server for players to run up and test them on their own time when they liked. Currently we are still preparing new content to be beta-tested so hold tight. ^-^ Next up I'm planning to do another video on the Nexus interface as well as Nexus-Regioning (specially requested by administration! :D) as soon as school eases up on me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frigated 66 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Is it an open beta for any player to jump on and test them out? If so could you inform us of the server IP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ivory 4546 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Sorry but those snapshots were horrible. The magic hardly worked and both plugins were taken down after a while. I thought the plugins were nice myself. The magic plugin is pretty awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporadic 2844 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hey guys :D I appreciate the poll, although it reads to me as the LotC equivalent of a referendum headlining "should there be less taxes?" And not to offend those of the libertarian persuasion, but while nobody likes taxes we do realize they are a necessary evil. And so, too, is secrecy. Composing a paper version takes time, as does clarifying and justifying said paper version to the subsequent criticism. This is time that could also go into making deadlines. We prefer beta tests, then, owing to the hope that people might test for bugs, report glitches, or do a number crunch on the system. Players DO deserve a say, but that's not the only factor that weighs in. Fear of change runs common and rationalizing the status quo is easy, but the amount of 'staff take action', 'staff start leading' and 'rp is declining' outcries are similarly to be considered.

Tel, ignore them, yes, they want something. And they're willing to use a somewhat mean attitude to demean you into telling them. Hiebe I'll pm you some stuff since I was part of the beta testing.
