Magus Wrote:Why wouldnt you say stuff like that? I mean, It would be nice with some updates regarding the server aswell, I really dont see any harm in you guys giving us "some" little information on what is going on.
because its not worth mentioning "ok i fixed 1 script issue" i think if players saw that they would think "wow 1 issue was fixed..." <--- notice the sarcasm and disappointment?
tabion Wrote:It would be nice if the staff could make a topic for a small update once every two weeks at least
i agree with you, however many of us do not script so we aren't able to say what updates there are in regards of scripting. and what updates there are, are included in the news section of the main page or the news section on the forums.
tabion Wrote:You people have to start thinking strategically that people aren't going to stick around when you only keep select individuals up to date,
i don't like how you hint that us staffmembers have favourites or how you say YOU PEOPLE when you are refering to the staff team. i dont think you would appreciate if i called players "you people". i would appreciate if you don't hint that staffmembers have favorites. if you are that desperate to know what is going on most staffmembers have their ims posted on the website and there is nothing stopping you from adding them to ask whats going on. if they don't have their im posted, you can email them through the forums. i believe the email would be something like [email protected] .
tabion Wrote:I think the most aggrivating thing to me is that I see Maka this and Maka that... is he doing this by himself? What the hell do the other 10 (random guess) staff members do.
please point out the other scripters actually scripting. izanami is busy irl, as maka has been the past month, fallzone has his own projects and works for INX when he feels like it and has 0 obligation to even script 1 line. the other staff members have their specific roles, check the staff section on the main page.
for the lazy people...
Maka does everything but the website
coldrake GAME ADMIN
izanami scripter
taran rp co-ordinator, web admin
nox pvp co-ordinator
azrael quest director & developper
hate, tiesto, odium, viz, ginz, and me are the gms who will host your events, answer your pages, the pms you send us, and relay certain information to you.
tabion Wrote:but the rest of you... you just dick around all day? Mind if I ask what you actually do as staff and have accomplished? Oh and I know Azrael is hard at work too I am sure, giving brief info about the work he has done because his position only holds value once INX goes live...but seriously... I have yet to hear anything anyone else has done...
like i told magus, we arent going to tell you guys every tiny little thing we do.
how do you absolve azrael from your blame game by saying his position only holds value once INX goes live... ever think that other staff members have ingame responsibilities? what you want us to do when we dont know how to script?
what have we other staff members done in the meantime? find lots and lots of bugs so you have a nice shard to play on. i think that the staff have found more bugs then all the players combined.
i personally feel like i have done what maka hired me to do;
1. answer questions posted in the forums
2. host events - i didnt do that because it was the beta and i strongly felt it should be spent testing the game, not pvping all the time.
3. answer pages
4. test for bugs - i think ive reported between 50-100, maybe more
overall tabion, your post contributes nothing to helping to develop the shard... at the very least it annoys some staff members, i for one. if the shard were to go up tomorrow i wouldnt touch it because of this blame game you just played with us all. i especially love how you defend every staff member who came from inr and are so fast to accuse everyone from xuo except maka. furthermore, you want us to spend time defending what we do for the shard. don't you have faith in your admins decisions to hire us? and if you really must know what ive done for inx up to now, read my post again.
irl i am in school 8+ hours a day, sometimes more then 12 hours, and i have 3 hours travel time. that leaves 7-13 hours left in a day for my homework, eating, getting ready in the morning... and i wouldnt mind my sleep if thats ok with you.
tabion Wrote:what I was trying to get at is if there is nothing for a staff member to do physically to help the shard, maybe they could communicate with other staff and keep the players up to date
since when is answering everyone's questions not communicating?
this thought just came to my head; not all staff members are able to post news reports so please keep that in mind. and even then i would not make an announcement or news report until i spoke to maka about it.
lessons learned for staff:
1-post little changes so players feel there is progress being made no matter how small.
lessons learned for players:
1-be patient
2-you guys don't need to be told EVERYTHING the moment it happens.
evenflow is right, get the fuck outta your house/off the pc/study for school.
Thanks,
GM Pande
