Factors Affecting Test Data From Abyssos Savage Delay

[Aurelle_Deresnels]

all i see is a bunch of whining and complaining when Yoshi-p reported about 90% of the feedback they got was positive for the one week delay for savage launch.

How is it "whining and complaining" to praise Island Sanctuary and the return of tomestone materials for potions as part of discussing in-depth why this tier's data might not apply easily to future tiers?

To be fair, if you didn't create a massive wall of text people might actually be able to properly digest the points you are trying to make.

It is best you use bold and/or underlined text and keep your points concise with some

X.) Headers to explain the next paragraph

otherwise things will get lost in the sheer amount you posted. I mean for crying outloud, you made a 30000+ character post, which is still at least 18000 characters if you remove all the Japanese.

I would have liked to use more formatting, but I don't know how well bold and underlined text localize into Japanese (not only direct translation, but also tonal and cultural implications). With a better understanding of Japanese localization I would have used more formatting, but I had to do the best I could with mostly using things like paragraph breaks, numbered sections, and lists.

X.) Headers to explain the next paragraph

Unfortunately, I've seen that I have to include seeming-digressions such as the math showing that bots are a net loss of money for SE, or that the item levels being demanded by PF are in fact impossible without winning drops. Because if I don't, people will come by defending botting or the like, and will refuse to take the discussion seriously for my not having pre-empted them. Further, SE cannot simply call me back to converse when there's a language barrier and a corporate barrier in the way, so I have to go in-depth the first time. Concision is valuable within the constraints of necessary detail, in a situation like this.

Section headers are nice, yes, but for this purpose they're vulnerable to both mistranslations and jumping to conclusions. If I had put in, say, "Simultaneous Release of Island Sanctuary" as a header, people would have absolutely assumed that I was hating on Island Sanctuary, rather than praising it but pointing out that it draws crafter and gatherer players away from supplying raiders. Sometimes a point that needs to be made is, unfortunately, such that headers do more harm than good. Thus I avoided headers, but tried to have a good introductory sentence for each section.
