Some of you people are so damn whiney.

"WAAAAH!! NOTHING TO DO!!!!" Yet NONE OF YOU take the time out to go over to the beta server and test.

So they make the beta mandatory for like 48 hours-ish - i have no idea what time the patch was/server came down/wtfe and all of you people are sitting around QQing because 'There go my weekend plans.'

seriously?

grow up.

How about STOP with the crying in the corner, log into the beta server and test it. so what - you lose a day's worth of XP - it's a game.

BFD.

This post has been brought to you by the lack of alcohol in my system :P

Brown noser.

yes. clearly i'm a brown noser. Clearly i give a crap what Rogean and the others think about me. obv you are so right.

No - i'm just someone who deals with small people who run around and do nothing but whine and cry and bitch all day long (it's a very rewarding job, being a mommy, but still...children when they are below age 5 pretty much spend 90% of their day whining and crying about something or other. "But...I want the donut!" "But.....I don't want to play on beta!"

"He hit me!" ...... "They KS'd our raid!!!"
"He knocked my block tower over!" .... "They trained us!"
"I don't WANT to go to the store/go to the doctor/get a shot/get dressed/stop playing in the mud!" "I don't WANT to go play on beta/stop being a douche/stop whining"

See the correalation? I see enough of the behavior from my two littles who can NOT help it since they are LITTLE. They are 2 and 3.....you people are all at least 10 years old and if you are playing on P99 you are probably at least 18....

so quityerbitchin.

tl;dr - I'm a person with a low tolerance for bullshit and whining.

I propose that p99 implement some sort of a police ride along program. In return for a donation of some fixed size, the player is scheduled a time slot to have a ride along with Uthgaard for a couple hours on a Friday or Saturday night. Essentially, the player gets to be transported to the site of disputes (and made invisible!), get filled in on the backstory, made privy to the slew of angry tells and petitions, and observe the judgement or punishment that gets rendered. I feel like the entertainment value of this would be worth every penny.

Server chat tonight should give you just a small taste of what petitions are like.

mandatory beta is like before the server launched. A period of time in which the server is only available for testing...

except this time its just 24 hours and not a year. Go test.

All you complaining idiots can go on live server...cause obviously there you pay for a service and should get your money's worth...

I mean seriously...you make a CONSCIOUS decision to play on this server that is free...

OMG I WANT DOUBLE XP, OMG WTF DEVS YOU CAN'T DO JUST WHAT YOU WANT JUST BECAUSE YOU INVESTED YOUR OWN TIME INTO THIS, OMG WTFFFFFF WTF AM I GONNA DO NAOOO!??!?!?!


seriously...i hope you get raped by a bus...but omfg? how can i get raped by a bus? Your complains are as absurd as my comment.

I see a lot more complaining about people complaining than people actually complaining about the beta. And yeah, I guess this post is complaining about complaining too.

Well, the only problem with this beta is the timing...Why on friday night? i work all week and i look forward to staying up till all hours of the morning because i dont have to work. Why cant they do the beta on monday night. or sunday for that matter. It makes ZERO sense.

What I heard:

"Why can't they do beta on a night that I wouldn't be playing anyways?"


It's EXACTLY for that reason that we're doing it now.

Maybe because they want people to do it? lol Why do it when less people play?
