It's been almost 2 weeks. No new Producer posts?

[Vinyard]

So it's been almost two weeks since we got our new producer, and she has yet to post on these forums.

Good sign that she is busy with GU63?

Bad sign that communication is going to be at an all-time low?

Maybe she's preparing a super duper producer letter?

I think the devs have been doing a decent job of keeping in touch. The people who direct them though...couldn't get much worse.

[Lempo]

We were pretty much told in the thread that announced her that she was being kept busy (don't bother asking about her), by Domino when posters were asking where she was, and a comment was made that she was 'talkative' the received a semi snarky reply.

Face it the old producer didn't even make the post announcing it, it was made by someone else saying "Smokejumper Introduces..."

I wouldn't expect anything more from this 'new' one than from SJ, as they haven't even bothered to acknowledge the player base, of course with things so hunkey-dorey in Norrath maybe they are on a 1 month vacation like SJ took after the holidays.

[EQ2Playa432]

It's TERRIBLE communication from the higher ups. Absolutely terrible. The truth hurts.

[Illmarr]

If you don't have something substantial and firm to say, say nothing. I'd have rather not had word that I'd be having new content by the end of the month over getting word, getting geeked up about it only to get a new word of sorry, we really meant April.

I would have thought a couple of years of Smokejumper's well intended but ultimately pie in the sky promises posts would have been enough to realize that.

No way is communication at an all time low.  You might not like SJ, but the one thing he did do is communicate frequently.  The only reason we noticed his vacation is that he has been so good about communicating.  I do think that HW might seem like an all time low after SJ, but that remains to be seen.

[Zorastiz]

There is nothing to report, we get new SC items every week what else do you want?

I should lock this thread down though I am going to let it continue on the premise that it stays on topic. Political discussion, trolling and discussion of moderation is against the forum guidelines.

 Abide by moderator and SOE employee actions and direction - self-explanatory.

Here's to hoping the new producer is busy at work, cracking the whip on the next GU being a good one, and that is why they have been too busy to even make their own post to say hello.And on a parting note:      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLCEUpIg8rE

Thank you for keeping it open. I was surprised to see many edits in this thread on the first page >.>

I guess I'm just wondering why she hasn't come on the forums yet....does she even have a forum handle to post on? And just drop by and say "Hey guys, sorry I haven't talked, I've been busy making GU63 the #1 ww gu in the history of GU's"

I'm hoping it's like someone else said: she has nothing firm to say, so there's no point in saying anything.

As for her posting handle, I'm guessing it will be "Windstalker."

WoW I wish I had seen what was posted so I could complain about trolls

I agree that Holly "Windstalker" should have chimed in by now. Even Feldon had to drag out an ancient interview.

Ok people, how many of you have started a new job? I'm guess most of us. It takes time to get your feet and become productive. In a space as complex as EQ2 I am guessing a few weeks are in order. Settle down, give it a month or two, and then start in on her.

Are you violating the very rule you said not to violate...talking about moderation? Either way, thanks for letting us continue to dicuss this.

From the announcement

 In fact, she’s been working with the EQII team since last December. (We delayed announcing her presence so she got a chance to come up to speed for a few weeks before needing to answer a thousand questions.) But, the honeymoon is over and it’s time for her to “take the con.”

The honeymoon is over, and she still hasn't "properly" introduced herself to the community on the forums.

Send a message and take a break for a while.

Play Skyrim for a couple of months. With 200 dungeons, crafting & mercs it has close to as much content as EQ2 did when it launched.

And my favorite part  ..no Station Cash.

No Station Cash, & none of the other players who make EQ2 worth playing. If I want a single player game, I'll play SW:TOR

    Yes, I would like some anwsers on why the double casting AOE's in challenge mode have not been fixed.  Why during every raid 5-6 people go link dead, it's happening so much some folks are saying screw it and not coming back to raid.  I would like to know why I have to change so many settings just so I can get the pre-cures done without lag.   Why have you let the game get so messed up that its getting out of control.  There are so many problems its getting to the point of no return. 

    I don't know the feeling of most people but the whole selling loot rights is out of control.  If you stopped that folks would have to raid to get good gear, now the way it stands they just buy some illeagal plat wait for the items to drop, buy them and do there instances on easy mode, no raiding needed.  Only thing I can think of is there trying to kill raiding in some kind of stealth way.  So many issues, I feel like SOE management is like the U.S. Government (place your derogatory statement here).

I'm not sure the producer is the person to answer those questions.  They are more administrative and set the vision and direction (and acquire budget etc.), but the design/code/art team would handle the day-to-day aspects of the game.

[ShinGoku]

To be fair, I wouldn't want to post on here with us ravenous lot who will probably tear her apart!
