State of The Game - Mark Jacobs

[schild]

i read the threads and while i agree with most of the sentiment i must say the admin and mods there are jerks. Epeener jerks who believe that their access to MJ makes them better than anyone else.

i wanted to post there but realized theres no reason, the whining is just as loud there as it is on the VN boards, the whining however is coming from the admins and mods ....

I am amazed MJ cannot see the trap there tbh. MJ has already explained while he agrees with most of the points there he cannot snap his fingers and make it happen instantly. And yet the admin and mods keep trolling him telling to do it now do it now do it now cos they know better .. its a sucker trap, MJ should never respond like that . Its foolish to respond to threads like that , they are just attention wh0ring with him as an audience. And now they got him, they wont let go.

WE'RE AN (EPEEN) TRAP

OUR ACCESS TO MARK JACOBS MAKES US BETTER THAN ANYONE!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Why would any dev listen to anybody anywhere? That's a serious question. I don't think we are special and unique snowflakes here. I think we type in mostly well-documented English. Perhaps that seperates F13 from other forums. I don't know, and I don't want to find out.

[Fordel]

Depends if people are putting forth suggestions or symptoms.

[schild]

Only thing i can say about f13 is this place is full of stone cold tolls tards.

I mean you can't go 1 page without seeing a troll...damn the mods in this forum must have an easy job.
& i'm not happy about the state of RVR now but i'm overall happy about warhammer as a game.
It's a casual game that have great features & fun to play though it needs like 3 months to be polished but that's all fine.

One thing i believe is that MJ needs to leave these trolls alone.
Man you did a good job on the game & if the whiners don't shut up then leave the...nothing you can do about tards you know....it's their nature.

Gift that keeps giving. These guys are awesome.

 I would say it's a bastardized focus group. What I cannot figure out is how you would classify the metric and try to weigh it against the crazies factor.

  # of can do no wrong posts * # of give them time posts / # unsubscribed posts + # mouth breather posts - # mod deletions =  some random number that means nothing

 Shrug, perhaps your right and its best not to think of these things.

When do we raise our banner and attack back? Apparently this is customary in these kinds of internet turf wars.

[Lakov_Sanite]

Slap fight!

[Slyfeind]

Mark does this thing where he seems to keep a relatively low profile, but then he comes here and shoots from the hip a little, and the crazies flock over here to scream for the attention of their master. It happened with the "UO dev team shitcanned" story when some Stratics retards came over here to yell at him for not posting there.

I just can't understand how they don't understand this kind of thing. You play cool, they play cool. You act like a fucking retard, they go somewhere else.

[Fordel]

The *real* question is, will Mark post here again and will that stir up the hive again

I'm down. You guys don't realize it, but I actually make an effort to behave here. In my natural state, I'm even more insufferable. I shall go there and turn every thread into a discussion of UO and start a 4000 page thread on Trammel while proclaiming Phantom Menace to be the finest art film ever made. Once everyone there is totally fed up with me, I'll go out in a blaze of Tubgirl. It'll be great. Let's all go.

I have no doubts of this. I remember UO communities.  You've been there for longer than a third of my lifetime. 

Don't kick them.  I really don't enjoy denning and deleting posts.  Well, sometimes it's nice.  30 minutes to type. 10 seconds to delete.

Damn I wish I was a patriot.

[WindupAtheist]

Geez!
It hurts my eyes to see so much retardation on the internet. It looks like 4chan is down and /b/ let out all its users.

Mark, I freaking love you. And I'm not being sarcastic or stalker-ish now.
I love WAR. It's like your not-hot-but-cute girlfriend: she's got her quirks but you love her.
There're a few things I'd change, but as I see, they're on their way. So, as a patriot, I'll wait for the patches and just be happy that it's being worked on.
Imagine that WAR wasn't being updated...?

Keep up the good work!

[FatuousTwat]

F13 does not house a majority of their player base. It houses the vast minority of verbally disruptive, rude, and entitled players.

Well, DUH.

[schild]

I didn't think there would be a place where mental retards who just want the chance to flame a games designer exisisted!

Boy those people need to learn some maners and respect .... although saying that 1/2 the post here these days feel like they were written by a 9 year old retard filled to the brim with coffee!


Good to see old MJ defending himself and not letting the retards get away with flamming comments, but personaly he should just ignore them ... getting a respence is like giving a kid a new toy ... they will just sceam even more next time for the next toy!

My new, favorite post.

I particularly like the part where it devolved into absolute nonsense. Which was right after he called all you disruptive, rude and entitled jerks a bunch of "mental retards." Man, who do you people think you are?! Learn some maners and respct! Personaly, I'm thinking of ignoring the lot of you. With all your flamming, you don't even deserve a respence from me.

Mythic "flattered" by Warcraft's imitation combat
Blizzad's latest move to introduce open world PVP combat to World of Warcraft is "absolutely a reaction to Warhammer," according to Mark Jacobs, CEO of Mythic.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Jacobs talked about the latest PVP features to be included in the World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, many of which, he claims, are based on Warhammer Online.

"Oh absolutely," responded Jacobs, when asked if this was a move by Blizzard to position World of Warcraft against Warhammer Online. "I think imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

"You have a game that's been out for four years, they've never put in world PVP like ours, they've never been able to level through PVP like in ours. I think it's absolutely a reaction to Warhammer," Jacobs added. "It wasn't like all of a sudden the idea of open world PVP or levelling through PVP came into their heads and went 'nobody's ever done this before'."

"I don't think it was accidental that they're talking about doing it when Warhammer comes out. Four years and suddenly, miraculously, at the same time Warhammer comes out that's when they start talking about these things... I think it was Jeff Kaplan who said they like to look at other games and learn from them - well, I'm flattered."

Mythic's CEO, went on to discuss the uncertainty involved in predicting how many of the currently registered users will be converted into paying subscribers, following the end of the 30 day free trial that comes packaged with the boxed product.

"If we're successful, we'll have a high conversion rate and we'll keep the vast majority of our subs," he explained, adding: "No one has been billed yet, so we won't know this really for at least several months, in terms of how well we're doing, unless we start off horribly."

"Everything we've done internally, in terms of looking at internal polls, people posting on forums, emails from people, all we've seen so far is that we're well on track."

Funny stuff.

It's pretty awesome, no?

Gah. He really is an idiot. I feel bad.

[Arthur_Parker]

eh?  I thought it was funny because it's true, plus Blizzard started this pissing contest.

[Fordel]

Except it's nothing new.


Blizzard 'copying' other games design features? The Scandal  !

[Arthur_Parker]

Who said "new"?  Blizzard said half of the WoW players who left for WAR came back.  Mythic is now saying WoW is copying WAR for pvp level advancement.  It's a press release pointing out an alternative, it's not meant for us, it's meant for ex-WoW players, current WoW players or potential WoW players.

That's basiclly me. (I haven't played WAR)

And you see my response above.

Hence, he's an idiot and I feel bad for him.

[Fordel]

Then even at that, it's failed.

"That thing you came to WAR for? Blizz is doing it too now, feel free to go back!"


-fake edit- I'm replying to A.P.

Really?  That's great, when is it going live?

Do we really want to troll back through who said what first? I can find comments from Barnett that dis WoW very easily.

I really don't care if Mythic and Blizzard get into a pissing contest - it's really all just  for us anyway. What I hate is Mythic trying to act all innocent and outraged just because Blizzard said some things that most people agree with.

Saying he's "flattered", isn't exactly acting "all innocent and outraged".  He's playing it differently in that piece so that's why I quoted it.  If you are still annoyed about the events of the other day, you can post it without directing it as a response to me.

The DaoC RvR style PvP bit? Nov 13.

[Arthur_Parker]

I meant the pvp leveling bit.  Maybe I should have posted that quote in the other thread, but I'd already repeated myself a couple of times there, so was kinda done with it.  On who started it, I think it's kinda retarded, but ok Paul mentioned WoW first, the timing of the Blizzard response just before the free subscription period ending and the day before State of the Game certainly escalated it.
