I see no reference to this in the "under development" notes, just a reduced cool-down on the Parachute Cloak. Need I hold my breath yet another few months?

Engi- whatnow?

Is that the one the stabby people use in level 19 battlegrounds?

Seriously though, I have no news to offer you. Some valid points and concerns have been raised and some valid points and concerns have been noted and some valid points and concerns have been forwarded.

Patience is a virtue and time is your ally in this case I'm afraid.



Gogo personal zeppelin imo.

Q u o t e:
Do you realize how condescending and even borderline insulting this post is?! After months and months and months of :
- being ignored

So I'm not supposed to ignore you, but I'm not allowed to post to tell you that your concerns have been forwarded but we have no information?

Q u o t e:

All I said was: your concerns have been passed on, but at this time we have no concrete details or time-scales to offer you.

Oh I understand frustration: I live in France and don't speak French. I also drive a Scottish car here (yes Scottish, not British :))

I don't mind you venting your frustrations, we all need our outlets. Just try to keep them in line with the forum rules, kk? And pretty please don't call me names directly; it hurts my feelings :(



In fact one might make reference to Schrödinger's cat in this case: all of my posts can cause one of a number of reactions (living cat or dead cat); but I can never know what the reaction will be until I make the post (open the box).

Q u o t e:
do not worry, we like you, you seem to be the only CM trough the whole set of wow forum to have enough guts to speak to the engineer...


It's funny how people say that in pretty much all the posts I make :)

I'd love to sit here with a big book of everything that has happened and everything is being worked and give full disclosure about everything you want to know; it would make me feel empowered.

However, a side effect of the creative process is that it's, well, creative and free-form. This means that when people ask "What is going on with X?" the answer could be "Nothing yet." but 3 minutes later there are 20 people working on 'something' related to X. Of course, most people (and even I am guilty of this) hate to stop what they are doing in order to record what they are doing so that people can say "Hey, what did you do today?" so they often don't.

This means that when the thing that is being worked eventually gets finished someone says "So.. what exactly did you do?" and then another someone has to go through and create a document which has to be proof read and verified and authorised and polarised and quantified... well maybe not those last two, but you get the gist.

Or course, this then leads to the scenario that by the time anyone says "Here, you can post this information about X.", the changes are already live and everyone who cared about them 6 months ago goes "Lol, wut?".

Ok, that's a pretty extreme example but I'm trying to say: it's frustrating for everyone, because everyone has different needs and wants. I hope you can understand that and I hope you don't lose faith in us.

We really do want to give you what you want as much as is possible.



P.S. Sorry for the slightly weird rant, but I'm in a funny mood today :)
