should BS have polls about major changes to the game before patches
BS has time and time again done unpopular and negative changes to the game with patches.
if they want to change 'something', should they do a poll in front for them to get feedback ?

Stor Hurfru Muylasav, wildly swinging arms around. Vicomte Muylock, calling curses on enemies. Baron Muylaetrex, Undead guy. Baronet Muylaetrix, calling upon winter storms. Baronet Facetothewallmuppet, support type standing with his face to the wall most of the time. Baronetess Yovonne, taxi. some other chars with names starting with Muyl.

The thing with polls is, you'll get a plethora of different opinions, all of them more or less biased towards that persons playstyle/realm, whatever. Just look at what suggestions out there for an alternative ruleset. There are hundreds,
Another thing is the use of Pendragon. To some extent, that is what the test server is for. I dont go there often, but when i do, i dont see many folks around. Maybe some mechanisms are there but we (players) dont use them sufficiently. Is it possible to have more incentives to test stuff at pendragon?
I remember being a volunteer testing ToA on the then test server. Man, good times, believe it or not :-)

Matter what you say on these forums the only people they listen to is a select few on the internal boards unfortunetly it is a very narrow cross section of a certain type of player and player base that they listen to.
Anything you post here is not listened too or ridiculed by vested interests so what you get is what the game has become a low population niche game with no hope of improvement in the future just suck it up because it ain’t gonna get any better
Merry Xmas !
1. people will be too biased regarding favorite class/realm
2. BS does what it wants. It would be a waste of time and give us false hope.
describes 92% of the one-eyed blind posters in some of these threads. I mean good feedback is priceless, continuous whinging with zero content is just tiring for yourself and the readers.
actually seeing you guys still think its abilties, buffs, changes, nerfs that are making you /release. 90% of the time you would still be /releasing against the same players regardless.
That is actually not true at all. For example, the changes to the archer's rr5 completely changed the dynamics. The ranger rr5 is way to OP. And without the old hunter rr5, my deaths to the zergers has doubled. There are valid reasons most of the stuff BS has put in the game has had to be modified.
It could be argued the change to the hunter RR5 only had a dynamic impact to a certain spec/play-style but I see where you are trying to go with it.
It would be nice if they would pick some players that represent not just a certain class but a certain play-style for each of the classes. I.E. Minstrel-get a solo, stealth, 8 man perspective when it comes to changes.
Though I know I have beat this horse into the ground...my intent in this post really is to just give a specific example of how BS's changes can absolutely be game changers. Another example, giving speed to other classes. I used to be able to zephyr the speed class, and get away from groups. Now...too much speed in groups and the ability to get away has dropped dramatically. Currently.....sins were nerfed. I highly doubt they would agree with Tald's assertion that they are only dying to the same people
And.....ranger rr5 is op to all pet classes, not just hunter
Not to mention if you actually do get away, it seems everyone has SL and it's only a matter of time before /release.
I don't disagree with your assessment regarding the remaining player base. But changes during the Broadsword era reduced the population to the point where even the "good" players are gone. That, itself, screams these changes span more than just "git gud".

I rather enjoyed the assassin's podcast
You dont have to justify anything afterwards, because majority of people did decide. Thats pretty fair.
For other things there should be no vote. Like...more rps/less rps....its clear what the result here is, makes no sense to vote. Thats something they should decide (but they still should listen to feedback).
warlocks were the victim of the pbaoe changes imho.
agree on the part that bs doesn't listen to it's player base to large extent. they do what they want. they think they know better.
about favoritism in class / realm : i play limited classes, i know about those classes, so i tend to be vocal about those classes. warlocks and savages were not popular when i started playing them. but since then, savages and curse warlocks have been in general nerfed.
that's my point exactly. BS changes some stuff seemingly at random with huge impacts on the game. some of those changes would have never been done. if they would have announced it beforehand people would have pointed out the flaws in it.
instead we go through massive changes with unforeseen consequences that result in them changing other things to compensate for their changes instead of reverting their initial changes.
i think my play style represents all play styles. i join and i lead bg's, i play fg, i play small man, i solo. i do everything the game has to offer. i think all those play styles have a place in the game.
but when i comment on classes, i obliviously have a bias towards the classes i play all the time. i have experience with savages, warlocks, ice wizards, shamans. the other classes i play in all the realms don't allows me to be a expert on commenting on those classes
they think they know better. we have seen the effect on population.
Nothing about playing stealth, argument is invalid.
i have a rr 8L3 hunter, ok, it's been a while since i played him
