ok Adam since your in the answering questions mood, lets see if you dodge me for the 50th time on this question. I have asked you this question multiple times and you have dodged answering it the same amount of times. Lets see it happen once again.


Mordred


Yep thats right I said it. How many more years are you going to give the Mordred people the big F U? We have been ignored for how many years now? My 14 bucks a month will buy you the same thing as an RvR players 14 bucks a month will buy. We have asked you to fix Mordred countless times, we were PROMISED, PROMISED things and you have as usual failed to follow through on your word, just like Origins. You guys say your gonna do one thing and never do it and not only do you not do it, but you refuse to even give answers to why it was scratched.


1. No porting during combat. You already have this in the Laby on RvR servers. Make this happen on Mordred. That was the #1 thing we asked for.

2. Allow some type of ghost (copy) from Ywain over to Mordred.


Mordred players deserve the same amount of respect as Ywain does. People say all 6 of us that play on Mordred is a joke? Adam - YOU DO THIS TO US? Mythic, did this to us. When we screamed for help, you ignored us and let the server chew itself up. Daamien busted his but to help the server and all he met was resistance from you guys. I mean it took how many YEARS for you guys to finally make it to where it was 1 relic per keep? By time you did that it was to late. We have been promised and promised and promised time and time again and EVERY TIME you have walked away without a word. You have let the server sit dead with a handful of players on it for what reasons? Fix Mordred Adam, jesus Ywain has a population, fix us for once.


What about us Adam? What about us?

Your turn sir - Lets hear about it.


PS: if I sound disgruntled .... it's probably because I am.



Both of those requests are very easy to implement and both items are needed on Mordred. There are many easy changes to Mordred that could be implemented.


Mythic's concern may be with the Ywain Frontier population. If Mythic were to allow transfers to Mordred and end up making Mordred fun, the Ywain Frontier population could dive. Every 100 players that transfer to Mordred, and start to have fun on the Mordred server, is 100 fewer to feed the shrinking population in the Ywain Frontiers.


“we were PROMISED, PROMISED”


The challenge with their past promises is the person that was in charge back when those promises were made. MJ seemed to never have a problem finding reasons that MJ felt were valid excuses for reneging. I once read a statement by MJ that basically said, “it was my minion that made that statement, not me” as if MJ had nothing to do with news releases or game policy and game direction. What a laugh.


Even with MJ gone it seems difficult to get the mentality to change at Mythic. They become open for a time and then decide to clam up and then they become open for a time again, etc . . . I think that one problem they run into by switching to being a bit open is the questions that keep popping up about past schizophrenic (MJ) actions and they have no way to answer such inquiries so they clam up again.


Lets hope that they weather the storm of tough questions and continue to be a bit more open and forthcoming with info.


Edit: I for one applaud their bravery at coming to the front of the line and facing some of the mob who are carrying pitchforks and burning torches. Good going for Adam and Andy.

So us on Mordred just sit there for another year or two right?
pretty sad if you ask me


you may not like his answer, but you still got one mate. i wont get one, watch


i so changed my reply to him, but he still dogged everything else I asked. He acts like fixing Mordred is a hard task. it is NOT hard, what is the primary reasoning behind the no Mordred fix is THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX MORDRED. he JUST stated it, not in so many words but he doesnt wanna pull pop away from Ywain, THATS why Mordred doesnt get fixed.

But see, the trick is, Mordred can easily be fixed and Adam knows it. The problem is if he makes Mordred fun again, people WILL return and in doing so Ywain loses population. People bad mouth Mordred but the fact of the matter is Mordred remaining dead is the only thing holding Ywain together. Mordred could easily thrive but they do NOT want it to do that. So many questions were answered by the one statement that he made.


Andy_Mythic posted:

we do not intend to implement anything which will diminish the play experience of Ywain

That said all there is to know and totally destroyed what little faith I had in this company and him.

Adam if you are not planning on fixing the damned server then give us NAKED transfers to Ywain, at least we can play our characters again. Why can't you give us that? This gives us our toons back plus allows you to protect (even help) your precious Ywain server. It's obvious you are gonna let Mordred rot, so let us move to Ywain with our stuff, I am sure everyone of us will go naked and be happy with that.

Tell me Adam, why is THAT so hard?

You asked for an honest answer and I gave you one.

I apologize if you don't care for my answer, however this is the reality.

And to be clear, I have advocated in the past for "naked transfers" from Mordred in one form or another. The development team has heard your feedback.

And FWIW, I'm Andy, not Adam.

They have HEARD our feedback?
Like ... Hey please let us transfer off Mordred.
You Guys: yea yea we heard you


That kinda "we heard you"? or is it being looked at and IF its being looked at, we kinda wanna know, will the game still be running when this takes place?


You do know there is a Mordred VN Board right? Don't be scared, just come to the board and tell us whats going on. Andy/Adam isn't scared of us Mordredians is he? You come to Mordred VN, tell the community over there whats going on and I promise I will be nice to you from here on out, even if I dont wanna be nice.

Andy answered Damaja, you got your point across, move on. This thread is about RA's, not Mordred.

Sis I even asked him to come over to our VN, where else are we supposed to vent?
We have a VN just for Mordred but noone ever goes there, they always come here so we come here as well and you know me I'm hardheaded till the ban comes

I will let it go here (out of respect for you), I wanna see if he will come to Mordred VN with this now that he has been asked to.

why are you complaining? You got direct feedback from Andy about your question and then got follow up while others' questions (namely mine) were ignored? Seriously Mordred sucked, so just get over it already. By you responding the way you do towards Andy and other Mythic employees, you ruin it for other people that would love to get feedback or dialogue from them.

Great thread imo!! Ty adam and andy for the honesty and replys.

Unfortunatley for someone with my solo playstyle,the game is no longer enjoyable.

The amount of time for solo folks to find a good fight is too long.

Risky action by the zergs is ok,but then it still takes to long to get
back to the action,especially after getting zerged,to just get zerged again.

I love df,but when I get killed out,I don't enjoy the stealth zergs in laby.

No buffs in molvik makes it unenjoyable for me.

Now with no hopes of mordred love,I don't have any hope for my playstyle.

Now this is just my situation and most people that play mmo's,play
exactly for the intended purpose,massive multi player zerging killing
enjoying fun and that's fine,my playstyle is prolly just rare and I accept
my fate.

I will prolly take another break and if I miss it,I can always come back!!
