hey what about me for trolling all the crybabies daisy? im never appreciated.

[Tramier]

ok, so just the people who started the threads, not the hundreds of players who posted in the threads with other known glitches to be added to the original list....wow way to go GM's, ignore all the people that helped make the lists

[fsflashy]

I explained how the orange skills are calculated after the update, what about me?

thread (http://forum.cabal.com/showthread.php?13084-What-they-did-to-the-orange-text-skills.)

lol what about everyone who contributed to all those threads? dont they deserve something too? :P

[Argetlam]

yeah, alot of people helped contribute to my thread, it wasn't just me it was the entire community, so thanks again everyone, though some of the glitches have yet to be fixxed still

[Deathlymonkey]

Yeaaa so the people who didnt spam forums with QQing threads get nothing

Way to go EST

[Soryuha]

[GM] DaisY, along with the rest of the staff, I applaud your efforts to reward players and possibly encourage more people to be beneficial to the community but you're going about it the wrong way. Considering there are still multiple bugs, most of which I don't even need to log into the game to learn about and the fact that those threads were a compliation of multiple users contributing useful information. This reward was given out too early and to give out a reward properly you'd have to sift through the buttloads of pointless post to find the contributing good ones.

Then again, a majority of people would be happy if you just unbanned them after giving them free alz and doing something to restore gear.

But hey, at least you're trying guys.

+10

[forumpost]

Its fair, because if they give something good to everybody it would be hard since they will loose alot of money if they gave out alot of good cash shop stuff to everyone. If they gave some bad stuff everybody would QQ. So this is good, plus they are working to compensate the people that lost their cash shop stuff etc. so they are doing a good job.

[[GM] DaisY]

Yeah, we know that everybody here contributed. =)
But hey, we're going to award prizes to the best article writers continuously. :)

Not articles but constructive posts.

We all started out trying to be as constructive, as understanding, as patient as we could. But when countless of hd tickets go unanswered, countless pm's unread, and even yet countless posts here --- ranging from simple inquiries and serious reports --- largely ignored and unconfirmed, and when you guys don't even make an effort to communicate with your player base effectively, then it's very difficult to be as constructive, understanding, and patient as you would have wanted us to be.

Besides, I've been under the impression that you guys frown on repetitive posts --- threads and topics that have already been brought up to your attention. So when GM Q stickied this one

http://forum.cabal.com/showthread.php?13010-Known-Issues-with-The-Mercenaries-Update

I kept my posts in there hoping that you'd read them. But sadly you didn't and up to now haven't, or you coulda been solving those glitches since day one of the many m/a's you conducted. Those threads you made mention were started long after the original bug thread was stickied. So good job acknowledging the starters, even tho they may have just repeated themselves there, and ignoring the original bug finders.

Again, if this post doesn't sound too palatable to you and stopped reading after the first sentence, and if it sounds like yet another qq or rant, maybe it is...cuz you guys are so inconsistent.
End of.

It's funny how you guys act like the GM's here are the ones who actually fix the bugs. All they do is report to the team that does the fixes and wait for them to get back to them. Not like they haven't been working on the bugs since the first day they found out about them.

And you defend the hand that feeds u, like we can go straight to the devs and programmers and coders themselves? lol

These gms are firstliners in the trenches, liaison officers. Part of their job is to read reports and relay EFFECTIVELY to the people concerned. Needless to say they need good comprehension and full grasp of situations, and good communication skills with their peers and with us, the players. If they don't understand the problems either cuz they don't want to or are lacking in that skill, then they can't relay properly, hence, the countless of botch-up re-works and m/a's.

Don't act like you don't know that reality in an enterprise, even in a fastfood business like BK. When it wasn't your turn to flip burgers, and you served a contaminated food, you can't tell the customers "hey don't look at me, I didn't cook that!" When a customer had to go the extent of asking for a word with the manager (or in some instances here, the CEO! wtf!), there's something wrong with the rank and file.

[Valdoroth]

Hey EST, you still have not fixed my item shop standby purchase from back in August. I've sent you 3 tickets yet to be even responded to.
(yea i know this is kinda a qq post, but that's money i spent and never got anything for)

[fantasion]

thank you xD GMs
im on holidays right now though
will be back in 3 weeks time cheers.

[MandaloreTheIndomitible]

How about a prize for the bull we've put up with? lol. Oh BTW... my old ticket hasn't been answered yet ;)

[exter]

I dont want any reward. I wanna get my items back thats it.

[Atmakuryusen]

I realize this may be a repost but I don’t have time to read through pages of the thread so hopefully it’ll be helpful instead of taking up time and space.

First bug/issue: The switch channel doesn’t work. It’s particularly disheartening for the pop-up Mission War button. Here’s what happens:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/atmakuryusen/ee59ecf9.jpg
1. The “Connecting” bar at the bottom of the screen lags and fills up until the message pop ups onto the center of the screen indicating the obvious.
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/atmakuryusen/7258a08d.jpg
2. The next screen prompts you to re-enter your login information only to be told that your ID is still logged in so you have to click “yes” and “ok” once again for redundancy.

It’s almost easier to just time Mission War yourself and manually wait in the “Select Channel” window and click your desired tier when it pops onto the screen.

Second bug/issue: Although it rarely happens but it still does maybe 1 out of 7 wars where upon selecting the war channel we end up in BI, GD, or some other random place as our lobby thereby prompting another painstaking reclogging process as described above.
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/atmakuryusen/CabalVer171-101214-0001-0000.jpg
Third bug/issue: Mission War waiting list counter bug. It occurred during T2 M. War at 3pm PST where the population counter went from about even to 20 Caps versus 24 Procs with at least 3 Caps on waiting list inside our lobby…
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/atmakuryusen/CabalVer171-101222-1512-0000.jpg
Upon relog so some fellow Caps could try to get their 30 points in before the close, I was able to capture the following SS:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/atmakuryusen/65edcb38.jpg
21 Caps versus 26 Procs while at least 3 of us are stuck in the lobby… Is this even really a glitch or does Cabal adjust a handicap from the previous war results?

Finally the last issue in mind (not really a glitch) is the Christmas event item for the red Rudolph nose, antler, or combination of both. Can you change it so that those 3 items can be NPCable instead of taking of precious warehouse space? Other than that, thanks again for all the hard work on fixing all of the other glitches and bugs!

[BamOwnage]

the war means you guys were so pro in war that procs needed more guy to try to beat w/ you so stop being so pro and the handicap has been on like forever mang

[Drognan70]

That's funny....

I sent this private message, to Daisy, on 12-03-10, before the Event screwed things up with even more D/C......

"Cheers Daisy,

I was wondering if you had any idea when EST was gonna be working on the unbelievable amount of no-connects and dis-connects that I, and many of my guildmates, get from all of the servers?

I figure, since I pay for the Platinum service 3 months at a time, that maybe with the Premium channels I would have better luck connecting and staying connected, but unfortunately not.

And, just a little observation, the servers are ever so much worse today after the maintenance.

Thank you for taking you time to read this. Have a great morning."

As polite and informative as possible, and no love from the GM's. Why do we even try sometimes?

[Vontar]

Can we see the winners for the xfire event plz?

[Vontar]

we try so that we can fail

[Drognan70]

we try so that we can fail

So true.
