dev1069 Phantom Roll Effect Adjustments feedback

If these "tests" illustrate just one thing, it's that even the JP community reps probably do not have any access to the code or the ability to gain such access from the Devs.

It wouldn't really surprise me, to be perfectly honest. Sometimes (Er, more like every time a Dev post is translated) you're left to wonder how much the Developers even understand about the mechanics of their own game. I'm still working under the impression that they fired off their math geeks after the code base was finalized and only left Designers on the team, which would explain oh so much about the past 5 years.

Imagine trying to update an IE4 compliant website to work with Chrome, Firefox, iOS, Android, and IE9 with a staff that only knows how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver 6.0 MX.

The more I think about about this sort of thing, the worse I feel for the community teams of all nations. They've gone out of their way to provide information on multiple occasions, and all we players can often do is say "Thanks but we know that already." It seems like we have access to the same testing methods, sadly, if not quite the same information and resources.

I was pretty snappy about a possible sample size of one earlier, but now that I think about it in this context, I wouldn't blame the guy if that were the case. There may be deadlines for replies; getting hit 5,000+ times takes a while.

There should be accurate spreadsheets or other plug-stuff-in game mechanic simulations available for these folks who have to discuss game mechanics with a group of people who are dedicated to complaining about game mechanics.
