Jorb where are you?!

[Argost]

@ Argost and co...
I am so sick of this constant negativity being paraded as 'constructive criticism'. You know whats wrong with this game? people like you. If you check around you will see that comments like this get posted all over the place and people who would have tried the game see them and think sod that. This forum is so bloody negative all the time, its exhausting to read sometimes, rant, *****, whine, people throwing their toys out of the pram just because the devs didnt make it the way YOU in all your wisdom think it should be. Why arent they here? Why the hell would they be? Personally I would have said '***** that' long ago.

How about, once in a while, you actually look at what the ***** Jorb and Loftar have given us, and have tried to give us? I for one, have enjoyed both seatribe games very much, over several years. I have paid for other games that are long ago back in their boxes and on the shelf, while salem and haven keep drawing me back. I do pay for this game, I pay for the fun I get out of it, I pay for the hours of pleasure I get from it. And thats my way of saying thank you to two guys who put up with all this **** and still try to make a game that pleases everybody. And I do realise that everything I say will be written off as some fangirl talking crap, but my opinion is actually just as valid as yours. Thank you Jorb and Loftar.

TL:DR for god sake please just stop whining all the time.[/quote]
No offense but you have no clue how long I have been around and played this game. And while I may be angry and speaking up, it is due to the garbage these two have fed us all. Not just recently but since way back in 2012 when they actually acted like they cared.
As for reading it? No one forces you to read a thing. I loved this game until it became nothing more than a grind that lead to nothing.

Dear Jorb,

I'm glad you are involved with this thread so let me just give an option I think the majority pf players would love.

1. Wipe. New world the original world size like plymouth. If this game had over 1,000 players maybe a world this large would be ok. As it is now if my friend is being raided but they live 18 hours away wtf.

2. Reset purity to how it was initially. It gives us something to do. I enjoyed raising 4 diff types of crops. Maybe most people hated it idk. The end game though is basically purity and raiding though. You took away purity and the timers and brazier changes have taken away raiding.

3. No timers. Timers = facebook game. Timers is the game telling you to log out and go do other things.

4. No waste claims. I loved the constant fear that existed pre-waste claim. It was awesome. You could do amazing things. When you gave Gallows the church me and Chief ran only 2 hours from Boston and tried to destroy it. This was when they had higher humours then us. We broke in late at night with our hearts racing and realized the church was indestuctable. We then walled in the church. We dropped 5 turkeys inside screamed "MM Wins Again" then ran off like idiots.

Another time at Gallows we built the reservation 2.0 in their city through clever tactics. As they were trying to border stone us me and another tribey where enacting scenes from movies like Raggedy Ann etc, While we were distracting them Chief was trying to break into their vault.

Yet another time at BTK Kel was afk, as he is wont to do, and got brutally murdered by, I think, Bait.

No waste claims allows smaller groups to fight larger ones.

You never knew what was waiting for you when you logged in or joined vent. You could log in to calm or a "dude **** is going down!"

The interactions pre-waste claim were so much more dynamic. It was inventive, clever, suspenseful, dangerous, etc

5. Imma put everything else here. Basically make it like it was pre-purity pre-everything else.

This game is political perma-death. Give us a world we can go at it in and then leave us alone. You will get the tears you deserve and we will get the enjoyment we want. I would imagine generating a new small world and rolling back systems to 2 years ago would not take that long and then you can move on with your Hafen plans with the Salem community hopefully growing at the same time. Win-win.

I will write again. Only things i want to see added in game. And you could please add them before you leave us.

1. Please reorganise Boston so its more nicer place to hang out. ( now we are boxed whit houses. And ramdomly placed windmills. Compering it to Plymouth this looks crap)

2. Ability to see more than 5 debuff/buffs

3. Please add player owned stalls so i dont get scammed daily

4. And for high skill pvp combat we need ranget slow. ( for other readers not devs. I dont need this to scalp noobs because i can outrun 90%+ of playerbase anyway )

P.S. If you implement atleast first 3. I will make poster of you and hang in my living room.
P.S.S. I think that map is too big. But i can live whit it.

rocky is right

the only hope for us is some quick easy fix that will allow us to have fun again. i'd be content enough if the timers would just be removed. they really have no place in a game like salem.

Good evening,

If they had a larger team as crazy as inspired as they are, unmotivated by capitalist greed, something amazing could be made in a timeframe everyone would be pleased with.

I think some capitalist greed might be good here - with it we might get some capitalist work ethic.

Faithfully,

-PmP

I'd rather not see a game built entirely to cater to the masses. I've seen it happen before and it isn't pretty.

RIP Vanilla WoW.

You are asking for new content right after he said they are abandoning Salem for the foreseeable future. Just give us a roll back to when the game was fun. Easy to do I imagine.

Oh and another option is to keep current server (with low population), yet open new one that is pre-everything nerf

[ysbryd]

Oooh oooh, I have an idea, why dont you make the game exactly as me and my friends want it to be, cos clearly your ideas about your own project are crap and I know so much more about what people want cos I have been playing games for simply aaaages./irony..

Or, go work on something that is entirely your own and will benefit only you and not a corporate fat cat, take some time to enjoy working again, and maybe come back to Salem a bit later when you have a clearer eye as to what you want to do with it, Oh hang on, thats what youre doing, sorry .....

thats a complete misrepresentation of what he said. it was good to see someone trying to suggest something quick and easy ie within the realm of time the devs might actually invest in this game, that would result in more people playing and having fun, which would then lead to $$ and gratitude for jorbtar. this sort of thing should be encouraged.
