They have basically stated that they have very few resources and are primarily focused on making hard core current players happy. Read the transcripts from mythic's games day Q&A on the Bioware forums.



News Flash: Alot of "Hard Core" players like to check their stats to see where their current character is ranked among other players



Oh i agree with you. However that has been their stance with Warhammer.

ANy update Kai? This isn't really a complex project. I think your customers deserve answers.

It's not forgotten, but I can't give an ETA yet.

From my understanding, it's quite complex.

Thanks for coming to the boards and making yourself available as sacrifice to the hoard of townsfolk who are often carrying burning torches and pitchforks.


Not to be the bearer of a pitchfork but in the past it has been noticed that it is not completely out of character and not completely unheard of for those who code to make statements about how complex something is or how impossible something is when in reality . . . something else is happening.


I am not saying that it is easy to display the stats but based on the previous Herald being able to display the stats the game must already collects the stats and has them stored in a way that they can be displayed.


But then again I am not sure of the complexity of the web page they are attempting to create. . . .(or RE-create)


Thanks again for coming to the boards and keeping us informed. I will try to use the airline example and instead of bringing pitchforks I will try to only use plastic forks.

well considering that the evil server that shall not be named because its a filthy nasty pirate server.... has player stastics up and running like the herald used to...

it cant be that hard at all

and they had to build it from scratch all by themselves...

bioware currently has reference material and the old website to look at for how it pulled the data.... so the tools are already available all they have to do is code a new page to display the data the tools grab...

its pure laziness in my opinion.

Thank you for the response. I think you've been misled regarding the complexity, however. You may want to ask them to show you why it's so complex to ensure you get a straight answer.

Kai is thinking, "How can I tell them that the lead developer had a psychotic break and thinks he's Scottie from ST:toS?"

I canna whip these Hamsters any faster, Cap'n!

Scottie! The Herald needs fixing!

Where's my spanner, Ensign Redshirt?

Kai suddenly notices he is indeed wearing a red shirt, "Uh oh!"
