A Certain Thing About Noses

Been trying to figure out how to check a certain thing without causing a Streisand effect...

I understand that there are certain things in the game that should only be discussed in moderation, let's say.

And that mentioning things like certain 'large noses' is currently potentially detrimental, far less 'having entire discussions about those noses'.

But on the other hand, if someone asks 'hey, where can I get a bigger nose, I'm having trouble with this small one', it seems like it would be equally 'bad' to refer them to the appropriate plastic surgeon or discuss them generally, in certain situations

But it could also be overreacting, and discussion of noses is fine, as long as you respect patients' privacy and don't imply bad things about the 'healthcare system'.

Anyways, if referrals are an issue, this post is just nonsense rambling and can be deleted if ya know what I mean.

Thanks(?) in advance, moderation team.

I would like to have larger ears. Just the lobes though - so that I can use my earrings for some extra DPS.

Guys ? Let us just say it as it is Please - okay ?

The Character Editor is not ready and finished as well. I mean, COME on !! This can't be all of it. There are empty Slots/Options who are not available to use but get shown as an Option.

Ohh, is there some spicy referrals drama? Are people making money off of it?

I only half joke when I say this, but the more you look into the game and how it's presented by Intrepid - the more it seems like a fucking scam. Like, nothing about the game itself is a scam. You can play it for hundreds of hours, enjoy it and all that good stuff. But my god do some actions by Intrepid make it abso-fucking-lutely seem like the filthiest scam on earth.

If there is in fact the issue that I thiiiink the OP is implying - gfdi

Of course not, nothing like that at all.

This is genuinely a moderately good faith (by my definition anyway) attempt to make sense or reason of a certain thing related to the market of ideas being discussed in Ashes of Creation.

I truly believe that they are hashing out the hard issues now, and the game will blow up in development. I'm just trying to walk away from this particular forum saying "tehehehe" to myself.

We are supposed to be testing the hard issues for them thats the whole point of the alpha. If they are holding back things that need to be tested and only letting their in-house test it, this is a recipe for disaster. Their in-house testers are pretty garbage considering the state we got the game in p1 and now p2.

Testers have no control over what management chooses to let go live.

There are benefits, sometimes, to iterating faster with known 'broken' things or unfinished things.

Don't blame the testers or technically even the Devs for 'the state of a release', please, that's maybe going too far, even if the current iteration is frustrating. It genuinely does 'hurt' and it hurts moreso because they are 'powerless' a lot of the time and yet still feel responsible.

And trust me, you don't want them to give up on even feeling responsible.

its hard to give them the benefit when you have them using exploits like the afk event exp farming and various hyper spawns since day 1 of p1. These were known issues and used by these people. So either the dev team are extremely bad at fixing bugs and are still struggling to stop players in a zone from getting contribution while afk, or in-house testers didnt care to report this and decided to gain an advantage with it. (its leaning more towards the dev team since I remember personally reporting this event bug early on in p1)

Regardless of who is wrong here, they need to know they are wrong and to fix this problem. If they just give up because they feel bad about being responsible (even if their group isnt) then they should hire someone who can actually take feedback. Because thats what this is, feedback.

Im not calling them ugly, im saying they are not doing their job. This is not personal, and it needs to be addressed.

We are. That's exactly what I'm saying. Relax. By April 1st you'll be eating your words is my guess. Perhaps once the game gets spread out 18x by rarity of materials, level and variety of content it will make more sense. Tehehe. People don't even understand that other biomes will hold more copper.
