Hi depth,
I like your avatar. The cat has a great expression on his face! I am a sucker for cute or funny cat pictures.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to respond here and say that you sound like an experienced Dark Age of Camelot player. I can't be sure, but from the way you come across in your message, I'd bet that you've spent time on Live and/or one or more free shards. You sound like you know how the game is played, and have some skill to back it up. You have an interest in the server; you've heard about or watched a few of Kaosfury's streams. You've read the forums here or at least skimmed a few threads that piqued your interest. You created an account so you can post here. You may have even installed and played the game for a while.
If you will permit me to make a humble assessment, I think that you are the kind of player that would fit in nicely here in Phoenix. I think that you bring something to the table of ideas here. I think that you could teach us a few things about how your favorite class is played. We have a lot of old and new players who need some pointers or refreshers. I think you have a lot to contribute.
So please, be kind. Not everyone here is a great twitch game player. Not everyone here has elite skills. We are a small but growing group of people who love Dark Age of Camelot and who want the server to be successful and thrive. And it sounds like you are just like us. Join us! Log in and roll your favorite character in your favorite realm and show us how it's done!
I call for a do-over for depth on the forums.
Everyone makes mistakes, and we are all better together. C'mon, let's game!
What do you say?
Alright, there's a few things to unpack here. First of all, thank you for the kind message Tamlan, you seem like a genuinely decent person for taking the time to post that. Now, there's a couple reasons I jumped on Kaos in this thread, which I now feel obligated to explain since there is a decent human being among us. Most of which has nothing to do with what was said in my initial post about his stream which I've never watched, that was a troll. So I can understand, given that we just met each other, exactly how much of an asshole I sounded like in the original post.
Now Kaos, let me be direct.
The reason you piss me off on these forums, and in in-game chat, is because of the tone you take up when people are making suggestions, debating QoL, or essentially any idea they deem to be a positive server change that doesn't jive with your 'classic should be a total pain in the ass 'cause that's how it was back in '02' mindset. It's stifling and oppressive to a discussion when you come into a thread and say things like:
"they have a server just the way you want it, its called ywain. too much crying about speed. L2P , sack up. rise above it, over come it, dont change this server because you dont like it, or cant hack it." (no digging required here, this is a direct quote from literally the last thread I saw you post in)
Really dude? Get outta here with the tough guy attitude, and certainly that thread if you're not there to offer anything constructive. That's your opinion, we get it, but it's pretty douchey sounding if that's all you had to offer. No further insights, no examples or explanations as to why you're right and their wrong. You run around
solo on a melee toon 95% of the time, with no speed, we get it. You have
no background in 8vX rvr, please stop pretending to be authoritative. Your opinion does matter, (but not very much), when it comes to broader changes that impact the overall stability of the current rvr sytem (RAs / Class Balancing, etc.). The reason I say (not very much) is because you represent an
exceptionally small percentage of the rvr demographic (sorry, I didn't bring my Pew Research Poll to back that figure up), but it's true.
My opinion matters no more than yours, but
this is a Classic server with QoL changes, that happens to be run by people that are open to suggestions. We are trying to help create an atmosphere that can land somewhere in the middle of what we all can agree on, that is the overall objective. So with that being said I apologize for the stab I took at you in my earlier post, and thanks again to Tamlan for being so humbling.
Anyways, cheers
