Thread: 6.2 Hrothgar Update

I just want to direct people to the Hrothgar Feedback thread I keep mentioning.

I know I'm being a nag with it, and idk the extent people agree with it. But I made it by consolidating what was said by many people. So I do want to make some things clear:

• Hrothgar players aren't blaming the development team inherently. We just want someone to own up to what happened. The situation isn't sustainable, it's currently harming the development of the game and the enjoyment people have with this race. Either someone in the team isn't being honest and just doesn't want to do something too complicated. Or the development team's leaders have given up or feel like the race has become too much. Or they don't have any funding, time or resources, in which case the fault lies on the people above. There are so many factors and so many people involved that the fault is fuzzy and you can't target specific people. Nor do we want to, given how dangerous JP's work culture is.
• It's not about the blame. It's about how this isn't working out and that someone needs to do something about it. We're not the ones making the game, they are. And if they aren't the ones to blame, then they need to organize themselves. "This isn't working for these players, we need to do something. If not content, then at least a proper answer."
• We know it takes time to make any piece of content. Or at least, I personally do from my own experience. I can at least hazard a guess. But just because it's hard and time-consuming, it doesn't mean it's impossible. This is a team known for allocating its time as well as they can. We just want time allocated for us.
• We know this race isn't well done. Call it unfinished or faulty, the point is that the way it's done is harming how future stuff will be made for it. We're just asking for them to address it.
• We are aware what their paradigm was. But that doesn't mean it has to be. What was decided before can change, and has changed.
• We aren't mad at them for not giving us racial-exclusive stuff. Some people will always be mad, some people will always be happy. What we aren't okay with is how shoddy and how many corners keep being cut to address us. Even if other races had cut corners, Hrothgar is having too many.
• The outrage comes from years of feeling mistreated, and then seeing the level of quality presented. It wasn't good. To some people it may have been the lack of racial exclusivity, but the common factor to every complaint was the quality.
• Yoshida's surprise is understandable... on that it shows disconnect.

We understand our race is the most complex of all. But we love it. Yet it's hard to continue doing so when it feels the development team doesn't want us to like what they do.

I know not many people are willing to be patient. I personally am, I just want quality assurance and respect. That is all.
