Complaint Department / Re: For the love of *insert whatever here* people .....
« on: September 15, 2007, 04:32:49 am »
*pokes whiskers in and looks around*
wtf happened to this topic ?!?!? I originally had the "off topic" sign at the beginning of this post, but then realized that what I'm about to say is very much ON topic.
This was supposed to be a "spanking" for those board members who do nothing but whine, b*tch, and troll. I said it at the beginning of this thread and I'll say it again ....
No, I'm not "Little Mary Sunshine" trying to blow flowers up people's backside about this game. (anyone that knows me in real life can tell you I'm about as opposite of that as possible). Yes, I have my own share of frustrations about the game and occasionally the way the board is run. BUT this is a game in development with a very diverse dev team. And hey, guess what ... they're human. They aren't going to get along with everyone, and not everyone is going to get along with them. Tough sh*t. That's the way real life works. Are there issues in all aspects of both board and game? Yes. Does anyone have a "magic bullet" to fix them all? No. And quite frankly, anyone who thinks there is, is a bit delusional IMNSHO.
Again (as has been stated in several ways in this thread) ... we are guests in their house. This game is their baby. They have invited us in to help share in the creation ... but we do so by their grace. They have the right to kick our arses out at any time, for any reason. And they certainly don't have to take even one iota of our suggestions (or our sh*t). They do so because they want to. But their dream for this game is their own, not ours. Seems to me that patience goes both ways. If we want patience and respect from them, we have to be willing to give it in return.
now then ... this part is off topic ... wtf happened to Karyuu?
?? I've been off the boards for a bit, and even with trying to look thru the "new threads since last visit", I seemed to have missed that.

I have to say I'm a bit surprised (nicely so) at the response so far. I was quite sure I was going to get completely roasted for my post. So thank you. 
I've edited my post, adding a link for those that wish to journey on to other fields. If PS is not the game for them, perhaps at that page they will find one that is more to their liking.
@ Con - No we are not as vital to this game as the Devs. Without them to create the game there would be nothing for us to test. And non-constructive criticism (or b*tching) is not helpful. All it does is piss people off. Anything you were trying to say gets lost.
@ Crj - I have no fear of losing Devs because of this post. Simply because of the fact that it is not aimed at them. I'm not telling them to go build their own mousetrap ... they're already here building this one
It's to the other folks that think they can build a bigger, badder, better one. Perhaps they can. More power to them. If they can, they should go build their own instead of trying to force this one in a direction that the creators do not wish. It is the Devs and creators vision. And while they look for our input, it truly is their dream to carry forward in whatever fashion that goes ... not ours.

*drags out her big soapbox and drags it to the square*
mkay ... look ... now some of you are going to think this is "brown-nosing", others are going to think I'm just being b*tchy ... however, I"m going to say it anyway...
I'm not without my own frustrations with the game. Trust me, I have several. But there are two things I always always try to keep in mind ....
1) PS is totally and completely free. No ads, no fees, no nothing. The only thing it costs is my time.
2) PS is still in many many stages of development. It's even still called a "tech demo".
Some things change quickly (and repeatedly), others take a long long time to change. Live with it. In my own little head I believe that if you're at all familiar with coding, programming, R&D, and any large scale gaming you will understand that very few things happen quickly. It cannot be done. If you aren't familiar with the technical aspect, then you really have no room to gripe at the devs for how long anything takes ... simply because you have no clue what you're talking about. Not only that, the admins and devs give their time freely to do what they can when they can. Silly people that they are, they want a life too. They have jobs and families just like the rest of us.
I will say to any and all (and even to myself) ... If you're that flippin unhappy with the game, don't play. It's that simple. There's tons and tons of RPG's, MMORPGs, etc etc ... go find something else**. If all you're going to do is whine and b*tch about how miserable you are ... go away. It's not helpful to anyone.
The devs and admins both have repeatedly asked for your help. They want your suggestions. What most devs and admins (in general) don't want is "whine, b*tch, piss, moan .. this is horrible .. fix it now, and fix it my way or i'm leaving". It's not useful or helpful.
Better yet ... if you think this world sucks and you can do it better ... go do it! Don't beat them up about it ... go build yer own mousetrap. I've done it. I (and several others) got so pissed at the way several forums were run, we finally went and made our own. Not that it was a raving success ... but I tell ya what ... it sure gave me a much better understanding of what the admins were going thru. (Though I still think ours is better than theirs ... but I'm biased).
Guess what else ... at the end of the day ... PS is going to go the way it's going to go. If I remember what I've read on the main page correctly, PS was started as part of a bigger project, and now is a project of it's own. So it will go as it will.
Anyway ... that's just my $.02 Let the beatings and the flamings commence.

Just from what I've gathered, I know we can't do it currently. I'm just wondering if we will be able to in the future. It would certainly add some flavor.

I'm not sure what forum this should go in ... so please move it to the correct one ....
In my browser there's a little "PS" icon next to the url. Is there any place where we can download a copy of the .ico file for that to use as the shortcut icon on my desktop?
Thanx

Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) / Re: Help! Can't finish "Joining the Guard" quest!
« on: August 26, 2007, 12:23:13 am »
Well then there's an NPC hiding somewhere that I've overlooked, because I've just asked every NPC I could find in Hydlaa, and they all gave me a blank stare. The closest thing to a clue I've gotten would take me someplace I don't have access to without doing several other quests first.
btw ... Hydlaa is quite the pain in the a*** to scour for NPC's ... has taken me be the better part of a day.
