Meh, it's a hold-over from working in a technical support capacity, where the only way to avoid complaints... is to quit. My underlying issue here is that I understand what the devs are trying to do, what kind of system they're having to maintain... and how it feels when all they can see is people complaining. Believe me, virtually no one EVER calls them and says "Wow, you people are bloody awesome, and I really enjoy your product and appreciate the work you have to do to keep it going." And, having been an active forumite on other games, I'm also acutely (and personally) aware of how players who DO voice their appreciation are treated by the seething masses of nay-sayers. "Flamed... badly" comes to mind. Thankfully, the CoH community is a far cry from most, i.e. vastly more mature. But still... Can't help it; whenever I see BIG complaints about LITTLE things, my knee-jerk reaction is to back the devs up... because I've been there. |
I had a rather lovely conversation with a young man, who reset my password, and was very pleasant about it, and when it was all said and done I believe the words I used were...
"Thank you -so- much. -Bless you.- You guys are awesome."
I play Neverwinter Nights, and I built/run/host/DM my own server, so I know what it's like to not receive praise, so I make sure to give it out whenever I can to folks who I think deserve it.

If they read this they'll know who it was directed to.....sooooooo
If you're going to make a joke on the INTERNET, where people are reading what you're saying instead of hearing it come from your mouth...Try to make sure it's an obvious joke?
You can't intend for people to take something scarcastically[sp?] or in a joking fashion if...what was said really wasn't a joke, but moreso...a normal statement :'D
so anyways, ya'll heard about them servers being down? yup....I'm on FAILBOOK till then >:3
Magisterum- 50+3 Fortunata--Virtue
Lukerion- 33 Emp/Rad Defender--Virtue
Noah Heartily- 34 SS/SD brute- Virtue
Mika Heartily- 50+1 Fire/MM blaster-Virtue
Yeah... servers up... logged in... chose server.. got my char in-game. Under a minute later "Mapserver Disconnected". That's where I'm at now. This is.. I believe.. about 5 hours after maintenance started.

One side uses mind police and will "disappear" you and the other uses poison gas and bombs on civilians. Hamidon? He'll just have a tree eat you. Much simpler. If we're all going to be oppressed and/or killed by someone, it might as well be the walking trees. At least they don't speak in annoying code or doublespeak. They just devour you. |

I think you missed the "virtually" part. In any case, YOU do this. I do this. I can list on two fingers the number of OTHER people I know that do this. It's not common practice. In my experience, it's exceedingly rare. Not unheard of, just very, very rare. And I think I wouldn't be far off-base to say that, where it DOES occur, the compliments come from people who've "been there" 90+% of the time... because no one else even WANTS to understand.|

Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

Where did this all become an issue anyway?

Left a mish on Virtue about 10 minutes back, and it stuck at the loading screen until I finally cancelled it. Haven't tried to log back in yet...

Hmmmm, and I thought it was just me...
Yeah, I tried to log in this morn after 6AM PST before work and could not get on. I will alway check coh.com for server status and I know that normally Thursday mornings the servers will be down for maintenance and are usually back up after 6AM PST, but the fact that the server status didn't show that anything was down was unusual to say the least.

Then about 1040PDT I had to dash out, came back and 3 more hours have gone by with...nothing, you all are saying?
