Never mind found out what i was asking

[RRevenge]

We can contact the GMs to have something looked into for you. We try to know as much about the game as we can so that we can answer your questions in the best way as possible. But we do not get to make any decisions about the game, just like you, we can make suggestions and requests, but ours mean no more than yours. And we have no contacts with the Development team. None. Period. So expecting us to tell the Devs that you are unhappy, yeah, sorry that happens to not be possible. My job, Reverie's job, Shadow's job... is here... on the forums. The forums is our home. I wish that I could say that I could go and complain to the Devs for you... but I cannot even complain at the Devs for myself. LOL Neither can Rev.

I can tell you that the CS team is fully aware of your unhappiness. That does not mean that things are going to be different. In fact, more bug fixes, and more new events and systems have been added to the game in the last six months then ever. The team is working hard on this game. I hope that you can all see that.

I'm about to say something cool and rant-worthy but they said they only have contact with GM's, (more like Patch notes posters) So NO. Getting in an argument with a forum mod is like arguing with a potato, all they do is spew potato stuff and delete worthy suggestions made by the community who actually pays to get this game going. And no, i'm not angry, its just my sarcastic nature.

You know what would totally help this game? Get rid of the volunteer forum mods and force R2 staff to actually pay someone to get the heat of the community when they mess things up. Its a win-win situation, we the hateful community get to direct our anger and frustrations to the real people who get paid for it, and the volunteer forum mods dont get to receive hate mail and ask for mercy in the forums to not get it coz they are not getting paid to get heat from us.

Anyway, I truly believe this post will get deleted in a matter of few hours, so Cheers to the lucky guys who gets to see it first.

Happy Gaming everyone. I will continue to do my thing and play the game, and help the players. And I fully expect the hate to continue to roll in. I hope that everyone can continue to find enjoyment in the game, and in the friendships that you have made on your server.[/QUOTE]

I have read your posts on other sections of CS and you seem like someone who helps but when you came on this post you were extremely sarcastic!!! and tbh sorta threw a lot of players off with it!! YES we have a right to be upset!!! I remember when they would throw good events in and some EVENTS have been ongoing since day the game started those event shouldn't be removed because it breaks the monotony in the game. and yes CS pays moderators in game xtals cool the reason I mentioned it cause of the way you came at the players!!! I understand the reasoning behind their so call fixing the bugs but that should never be an excuse as to why regular yearly events should not be placed in the game especially when players are looking forward to them!! TBH i think you missed the whole rant abt the reason why players were upset is because these events are the ones we look forward to!! with this being said R2 truly needs to get it together!!! and your last comment abt you fully expect the hate to continue to roll in like really LOL!!! Our complaint was to R2 not the mods in the game!! So I will keep posting on Forum when I feel something is wrong I have the right to do so trust me I spent a lot of money on my Toon!!

Alright, I have been quiet for a few days now. I am going to chime in again.

Everyone seems to be under the impression that I do not understand where the players are coming from. I DO understand. I have a level 141 Eido Priest. (I just cannot be bothered to farm orders and level up LOL) Trust me, I understand the frustration. I report bugs all the time. And just so you know, we could test for weeks and still not find every bug, and shutting the game down to fix all the current bugs would not fix future bugs. Every time a patch is ran through there is the chance of new bugs showing up. No one can fully predict how a new batch of code is going to react to the code that is already in place. So regardless if they do something to fix all of the current bugs all at once, six months from now there would be the same issue all over again.

[.....]

It is your job to defend r2 and that is understandable but to come on here and criticize the players is another thing!

You put too much importance on yourself, you shouldn't expect any hate to roll in because you are completely irrelevant, people that complained on this thread complained about the lack of special events, and because they dislike the direction the game is going currently in hope that something change for better in future. When I saw your long post I decided to read the last part first and with it, I'm just assume you are back to your sarcastic ways so I'm not going to bother reading the rest.


Tip for those kidnapped by Dragonflyjnrr and left in Tyria: If you are level 60 you can enter magic tower when you are done (or leave right away) you will be in Starglade :P

[dragonflyjnrr]

tbh it is the people in a game that make it fun haha I wouldn't move servers if there just me and my friends there alone haha

and yeah ladyjo a lot of games have done this but even the forums have died with the game but this one is still alive which is a good sign.
I'm still playing and enjoying the game I wont leave till all my friends quit which they probably wont plus where would they all be without my buffs ^_^ seriously though 28 pm's yesterday for buffs O.o
this will be my last post on this thread(thank god) so I will say if you get bored drop someone of in tyria village and watch them use a teleport scroll (never laughed so hard in my life xD) :P

When it comes to bug abusing. I do NOT condone it. I am showing a different side of the coin. I am saying that you cannot have it both ways. If there is one bug that a few people abuse, people that did not have the availability to abuse the bug call for punishment. But then if there is a bug that players did abuse, and it gets fixed to be the way that it should be, the players that got to abuse it complain that they lost out when it was fixed. It happened with the corruption bug. When that bug was fixed the whole population of the game complained. The problem was that EVERYONE could abuse that bug. And when it was fixed, to the way that it should have been from the start, a good case was made on why the fix was wrong. But ALL the players got to abuse that bug, and when it was fixed it affected ALL players. There is a little bit of a difference when you have two groups of people, one that got to abuse it, and one that did not. And when there are two seclusive bugs like that, you have people that got to abuse one of the bugs, complain that they did not get to abuse the other, and want compensation for their loss when the bug they were able to abuse was fixed, but then on the reverse of the coin they want punishment for the players that got to abuse a bug they didnt get to abuse. Sounds kind of hypocritical to me. And I am someone that was not affected by either bug.

And then I see the post where it was said that I never post on this forum. To that I say, go to the main CS forum page. The one where you see all of the sub-forums listed. Scroll down to the very bottom and see who is listed as a moderator of this forum. I am. Go to ALL of the other R2 forums, see if you see my name listed on ANY other forum? You wont. I do not play any other R2 game. I do not moderate for any other forum. I am a Moderator for Crystal Saga. If you click on my name you can view my forum posts. You will see that all of my posts are on CS. I do post of the forums. I might not post here constantly, on every single thread that pops up. Some of them do not require my attention. Sometimes one of the other awesome mods that we have has already responded with the appropriate information and my input is not needed. Oh wait, sometimes I am worried about my job and family that I have outside of the game and have to take care of. Because once again, I volunteer for this position. It is a voluntary position. Apparently there is also some misconception that I get 5000 crystals a week or a month or whatever for doing my job. All I can say to this is, if you could see my toon, I dont think that you would think I was getting $50 worth of xtals a month. And I do not feel that I should have the need to come on here and defend my desire to help the players, with the most thankless job that I have ever had, to the players that I try to help on a daily basis.

Guess what guys, I try to show you the good things that have been happening. And all anyone wants to see is the negative. I am probably one of the most sarcastic people that anyone on this game has ever met. I find it highly funny reading the complaints though most times and it turns me sarcastic. My personality is sarcastic and my humor is sarcastic. When writing my first post I was literally giggling with sarcasm. LOL Sad thing, I am a fun person. And I truly am a moderator to HELP the players. And you can ask any of the players that have come to me for help. I never turn away a single person for the help that they desire. Even if it turns out that I cannot help their case, I still at least TRY. I am sorry that the players do not see that. But I will say that we (Reverie, Shadow, and myself) make sure that your bug reports, suggestions, and complaints get seen by the right people. But when you come here to the forums, and you are in attack mode, and you bite, and you complain, and you tear into us, you are tearing into US the MODS. The people that are actual players, the people that do see your complaints, hear your complaints, and feel your pain because we are ALSO actual players. We enjoy the game. We play right along side of you. Some of you even on the same servers, even if you do not realize it. (even though most people in my server know who I am) When you come to us with a legit complaint, with a legit possible solution to the issue, it is a whole lot easier for us to get it looked into. Coming here to the forums and attacking us, for things that are beyond out control, and then attacking harder when legitimate reasons why your glass should be half full instead of half empty, does not make us excited to help the players.

Honestly, it does not matter if R2 gave us massive super fun and different events every week, or released new content every week, or fixed ten thousand bugs each week, if ALL of those things were not being done every single week, then there would be complaints and no one would be happy. Because everyone is human. The Mods are human, the GMs are human, the Devs are human. No one is perfect. And there is no such thing as a perfect game or program. And there is no way to make every single person happy no matter what you do. For that matter, look at yourself. There is not anything that you personally could do to ensure that you will ALWAYS be happy. It is the way that you handle things that shows the kind of person that you are. If your unhappiness with the fact that there is not enough cool events, there is not enough bug fixes, there is not enough new content in a GAME is so intense, then maybe you should walk out of your house, and take a deep breath of the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful day.

Happy Gaming everyone. I will continue to do my thing and play the game, and help the players. And I fully expect the hate to continue to roll in. I hope that everyone can continue to find enjoyment in the game, and in the friendships that you have made on your server.

Because bugs aren't even fixed and this is a buggy game. Furthermore, I rather they shut it down for one week with 0 bugs than 1 hour a week of 3 bug fixes.

totally agreed,
thats the best thing to do

[LadyJo]

Just because someone knows how to farm immaculates doesn't mean they would know what a BRAND NEW CLASS
How could anyone know what you can expect from it? Like i said before, some might of actually thought it was a plus for them.
But yeah, i see your point, i know what you're trying to say, However.. would be nice if they could do something for them, could have given them like a days notice in forums.
Even a simple apology would do, is that so much to ask?
But let's agree to disagree, make things so much easier lol, especially in these arguements and rages.

You were talking about people complaining and you said: "If i wasn't happy with something I wouldn't still do it till it was better" That is your personal opinion and i can't change your thoughts about it,
But i will give you my side of the coin and many others here. Story time: We started the game years ago, were r2 was putting in some good work, looking after it's players and always
changing events and you know, giving players something to look forward to and so, this lead to people settling in the game, enjoyed it and put some hard work into the game
and of course money (As it's a business after all) This was "back in the day" lol without the fancy tenets, all these icons and glows and even attack speed/citrine gems lol.
People want to see that sort of game again, The one they always look forward to. We know they can do it, but right now.. they're showing less and less effort.
Also, Major factors like:
- Friends
- Money spent
- Knowing your good at something and already put time and patience on it, you wouldn't quit.
Stop people from quitting. Anything else, most would have quit already lol, i know most have.

But yeah, thanks for the little "discussion" lol and have a pleasant day and the way they're going with this, there will be no easter events xD
And you'll see Mods and whatever trying to save them from the pain of hate mail </3
Oh well, we just gotta wait and see
Enjoyyy Peepzzz

[Toban]

Lol this is funny

[dragonflyjnrr]

tbh I see the bm accessory bug the players fault aswell as the devs fault coz if you played the game long enough you would know it shouldn't of worked and to get imjmaculates socketd that's a lot of hours and a lot of knowing the game to get them O.o so no new players wouldn't be socketing them Imo.

all im seeing is people complaining but still playing, to me if I wasn't happy with something I wouldn't still do it till it was better(not saying quit before anyone jumps the gun)
and I know from first hand experience a mod wont know everything coz the devs don't tell them everything -_-

by all means keep complaining and all that, you have a right to do that, just don't hate something but still do it coz that kinda defeats the object of complaining not here to argue
and no I havnt been through customer service never needed to.

I'm just hoping they bring an easter event on if not then yeah the forums wont be pretty lol

[R233264282]

Keep it goin guys i got my popcorn and Sprite

[LadyJo]

and it does get bad at times but the less people complain and actually tell the devs or the mods without hatefull comments then they might listen.

I pretty much agree with qwer7y on this someone already posted the same thing.
DEVS/MODS do NOT do anything without hateful messages. Without them, they were always meant to do something years before they actually did it. You want to know why? Because loads of players actually raged at them, like corruption.
One of the MODs were even stated (This was to do with server merges - But also applies to every other situation we had in the game)
"All merge decisions are up to the devs, regardless of how many players agree or disagree with a merge."
This alone shows how much say we have in things in the game.
And with the automated responses, You probably have never been through customer responses because.. Cs is pretty famous for bad customer service.
EVEN if they: "We would try our best to let your voice be heard."

My wife sent a ticket asking if anything could be done for the immaculate pink diamonds on the slayers ring WHICH they deleted and then asked for a screen shot.
After the next few days of waiting for a reply, they then replied with -

"The developers have check your character in our back end. We kindly notice you that the Epic Atonement Band and Epic Atonement Choker need to be at least above level 90.
Then you could socket gems in the Beastmaster’s ring.

^ This was pretty funny, they ignored the whole slayers ring situation and replaced it with a exo ring? OF COURSE you can socket a Exolorn ring!
The ticket was to do with what they can do about the immaculate gems inside the ring.

Problems:
1. How can you really take a screen shot of a ring that has it's gems deleted?
2. How can you mistaken the ring? When it's been said numerous times.
3. Lol, Took them 2-4 days to read the ticket.

BlazingAngel, Your comment actually concerns me. You actually put the blame on your own players? That's pretty new.
Wasn't it your fault in the first place for not testing? Sure it takes long but yeah like someone actually said. They get paid to do this. When you're paying for a car, would you settle with a car with a smashed window?
Some people actually never played this game before. They wouldn't know if Beast Masters ring was a bug because BEAST MASTERS ARE NEW TO THEM they haven't played Eternal Saga or sister servers.
The sad thing is, you don't even have the audacity to apoligize, just make a absurd remark and put the blame on them. Well done MOD we love you!
So i find your comment highly disrespectful. Yes, you may say mine is but i can back it up with facts. Don't blame the whole population (Most likely all did socket their Slayers Rings with pink diamonds) For YOUR wrongs.

To conclude, You can pretty much see why everyone is angry and upset and are raging, so i don't know why everyones complaining about the rage, if you don't like it? Take your own advice and shoo lol.
Most people feel what i'm feeling about r2. People are just too afraid or too lazy to say something.
And dragonflyjnrr We as the community rather play with new events and no bugs at all lol? We shouldn't have to choose anyway.
"I'd rather have no events and bugs being fixed then have a buggy game." <-- So Funny - Because bugs aren't even fixed and this is a buggy game. Furthermore, I rather they shut it down for one week with 0 bugs than 1 hour a week of 3 bug fixes.

[qwer7y]

and it does get bad at times but the less people complain and actually tell the devs or the mods without hatefull comments then they might listen.

Guess has that already been tried bazillion times? People's gotta have a new strategy (changing tone) since the kind/friendly approach has no results.
