We have a Developer Post!

[SenorPhrog]

<DIV>I know many of you have been waiting around thinking we are ignored and shunned like that last snack pack in the fridge I keep swearing that I'm going to eat.   No it wasn't some sweeping change but its proof they do read the forums.  So please see the post <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=13&message.id=15765#M15765" target=_blank>here</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On the same day we all tried to be rational and civil too.  Conicedence?  Maybe...but hopefully a good start. Sorry for an entire thread dedicated to it but I think its a small moral victory. </DIV><p>Message Edited by Radar-X on <span class=date_text>11-21-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:59 PM</span>

Feel free to invite any of your other Red (Developer) friends to come on in here and post. We are not biased, we want to hear from any developer.</P>

Seeing as how he's a programmer, I doubt he'll discuss Templar balance issues. He's probably only concerned with bugs in his domain.

Even though I was not one calling for a dev to visit us, I still do want to say that I think it's a positive thing that one has.  It's good customer relations, and it let's people know that the dev team knows they're alive and has seen their issues.  That's all good.

Silverfrost is a guy?  Hmmm, I am going to save myself a lot of embarassment and just think of you all as sexless blobs of text.  Sorry about earlier, Radar-X. <div></div>

<DIV>Coder is differnet than developer.  Developers Develop while coders fix bugs and add content.  At least they fixed a bug though and let us know.  Heck at this point I will take any crumb I can get. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit:  At least this is the way I see it.  Otherwise why have the titles right?</DIV><p>Message Edited by cadrach on <span class=date_text>11-22-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:06 AM</span>

<P>Ok, a dev post, nice. Really mean that. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>But I doubt it is the post many Templars are waiting for. At least not me. Anyway the mentioned post is about a bugfix that will affect all classes with an in combat rezz. Nothing specific for Templars.</P> <P>I am waiting for a Post from a Dev like:</P> <P>A) Dev: Everything is fine with templars and they work as intended (except minor bugfixing, as usual) for the current state of our game.</P> <P>or</P> <P>B) Dev: No, Templer is not what we want the class to be at the moment. We are working on it.</P> <P>On the other hand you can't expect the developers to come to every class board once in a while just stating: "Everything is more or less fine with this class". So my guess is it is A). Unless I hear or see something different.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
