Why do not respond to our suggestions? even though most are to improve the game.

Tell us about removing the AA in lockdown?
Tell us about putting mode 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 etc. .. ?

They plan to modify the lockdown and will remain so forever?

This question is for GMs, I hope to respond with specific answers.

Like in all games, PVP 1 vs 1

Like in all games, PVP 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 is & will never be balanced. NEVER. Unless we all have the same gear.

The only answer you will get

The only answer you will get will be something that will make you think they care bout players needs and will satify you but also actually it wont be anything specific.

It will be in "Im sure devs are working on stuff right now" style.

@ Kitty,

Nope, just like you said, it will be never balanced. If we get same gear, here comes the ping "dude i have lags, if not ill totally own you". If OOO would solve ping problem in some magical way then people will complain about their computers "omg my pc sucks, if i would have machine good as yours ill own you, LD makes my pc overhead blabhlaha". Then if OOO would solve problem in another magical way the hack and cheat accusation would start accompanied with "lol you killed me, i bet you are a nolife" accusations.

Just like you said. It will be never balanced.

Admittedly, these are pretty had questions. Also, begging for OOO to respond won't increase your chances, so I shall volunteer to answer them for you:

-Because Nick's really the only forum-active dev. The other guys occasionally post, but usually its Nick, Eurydice, or a GM. The suggestions are a place meant for players to propose ideas and then discuss them amongst themselves and refine them. Nick sometimes posts there, but usually only if it relates to a bug or a topic well-discussed among the dev team.

-AA is part of the game and hardwired into the basic mechanics. They already made a crapload of new stuff and mechanics just for LD specifically so that it would work with the existing code. They won't (more likely can't) selectively remove features because they were designed to work with the game they already had. So, either use it yourself because it's here to stay or stop QQ-ing about it.

-Lockdown is team Capture the Points, not team Deathmatch. If you remove the team part, it ceases being the same game and you might as well remove class shields and points altogether because it wouldn't make sense.

-That question doesn't make sense but I'm going to read it as "Are you planning on changing LD or are you keeping it this way forever?". Well,j considering that they haven't actually changed LD itself at all since August, if going to say that its not likely to be ever directly changed. Ask for a new PvP mode, not just different modes of Lockdown.

Aphrodite herself admits that she doesn't actually have access to the code, so I'm assuming that applies to Eurydice and the rest of the GMs, so if you actually get a reply, it's most likely going to be from a developer.

They do not realize that the lockdown each day is more boring? fewer people play every day, each day play less guilds.

The raking it reset weekly and is something that should not be.

Then beg for content like absolutely everyones else does on the forums! Or at the very least a new PvP, not just bloody Lockdown!

"The raking it reset weekly and is something that should not be."

Why? Would you rather it not reset for a whole year, depriving some good players of recognition because they couldn't play LD for more than three fifths of the year? Then people who can't play LD well can just play LD constantly and get the top rankings, because they have more time to rake up points.

"Why do not respond to our suggestions? even though most are to improve the game."

This has been explained before. If a GM comments constructively on any idea, that idea will either become a 'ZOMG DEVS WANT!' idea, and if not 'FFFF DIS IDEA HAZ NO CHANCE'.

E.g:
GM says this idea would be difficult to implement=People give up on the idea because they all think the GM effectively said it sucked.
GM says this idea is pretty good, but could do with a little more work=The estimated chance of implementation skyrocketed.

THEN:
People whine about how their ideas aren't getting any attention and demand that they read it.

One did, but they didn't

One did, but they didn't really have any responsibility to answer anything since we answered the OP pretty well ourselves. Also, I'm not certain about just how much the GMs and Eurydice know about the game mechanics in the first place.
