A note to the people saying "file a bug report"

If any of the devs ever bothered to actually play this game, they'd know about something like that without reports needed. More proof that they don't give a damn about the final product is that they obviously don't pay much attention to that. Hence their informing us that it took 'em almost a year to notice that one of the most-beloved and talked about rings in the game (turtle) was widely used because it heals you which apparently was a glitch.

A note to the guy who said "they're taking away the healing effect but making turtle stronger."

STRONGER THAN "SO STRONG YOU'RE INVINCIBLE AND GET HEALED"?
Contrary to what you may thing, Qixter, Bron, swarf and other developers play zOMG among the other users and not just the testing servers.

Really. And do they look at bug reports too?

Is that why the official zOMG Bug Report Thread (the one linked to in this forum's sticky) has zOMG spelled "zONG"? Yup I'm sure that place gets checked all the time, and the devs are constantly working to make the game more fun for casual players and endgamers/10.0's.

Believe what you want. I doubt you'd even believe anyone anyway considering your attitude

Where is that zONG you were referring to in the sticky? zONG is that Cell phone Gaia Cash feature. That's something else entirely.
Can I mention this?

Erynne, seriously. They really don't look at the Game Bugs forum. 99.5% certain.

If they continue to let the zOMG elite be an condescending tower of epic bitchary, I doubt they care.
Funny thing about people with bad attitudes. They usually had good attitudes until they couldn't lie to themselves any more and quit pretending what they wanted to believe was true.

@Virus: kinda confused. Your link sent me to the first page of clans. What're you trying to show us?
*edit* nvm saw your most recent post. I'm zOMG ELite crying so is the thread creator!

Ah I see. Must not feed troll. Gotcha.

My point was that some of the developers do play zOMG. I didn't even mention anything about the Game Bugs. I'm actually still waiting for some resolution to one of my own problems.

Wasn't trolling. There's a point staring right at you.

I'm sick and tired of ******** bumping up that topic every single day, especially when there hasn't even been one eye on it, for, let's see, 3 months now? stressed

Does someone SERIOUSLY have to sign a petition for a fix?

Yup. And even then the odds are hugely against you.

btw, I don't want this to stray off-topic so can you PM me why you dislike zOMG ELite so much?
I think Valheita and you guys may need to rework that tier thread in light of all the changes.

It's getting ridiculous.

I don't. There are rumors floating around though. The only thing that bugs me is that both the guild's innuendo is basically "We're better than you.", just by looking at it's name. And having it as a looming figure every single day, isn't helping. Plus, who knows how many users actually do look at the clan listings, and then thinking that zOMG elite is the only good clan out there, increasing their numbers even more. The smaller, yet just as good, clans don't even stand a chance. This isn't anything besides favoritism.

Especially when it had lasted almost over 3 months now. I expected it to be fixed during June, when the problem arisen, but now? I've lost all hope. And I want ANSWERS.

Edit: This is a bit off topic, so I'll drop it here.
(I'm being a total hypocrite by answering an off-topic statement)

The only thing elitsit about zEL is the name. Seriously. We accept all CL's as long as you're literate, no level of comitment required. True there's the corporate effect where small clans are being crushed under a pile of one-member ones and it seems like zEL is the only successful one. But that isn't zEL's fault, it's the dev's system. I don't know what their criteria is, but you'd think all the other successful clans would be ranked on the first page as well.

It's not of actual intent. It's of what's implied.

We've had a few debates to change the name but there are so many signatures, banner images, post styles, etc that it would take too much effort at this point.

THREAD NAZI TIME! BACK ON TOPIC!

Wasn't talking about that at all.
Again any clan being on top can be interpreted as both favoritism and condescending.
It just so happens that it's yours, and that can say quite a bit about your clan.

Back to the point previously addressed by you.

It's evident that the Games Bug forum has been paid little or almost no attention to. I rarely see problems being solved, correct me if I'm wrong, sometimes mods do send PM to answer questions, but only rarely, and I wish for this matter to be improved on and thoroughly explained.

A message to the Gaia devs. Although I doubt they EVER listen to user-feedback. Maybe if there was a 99G-Cash feedback form they pay some attention to us.

anyways. zOMG devs. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GAME????

BALANCING is admirable. But randomly dropping the ability of all rings is JUST STUPID. The game is NOT too easy, and if it is there are ways for people to make it harder for themselves. Hard challenges, which you put in. The new SS, which is so unbalanced it hurts. Etc.

zOMG is supposed to be a casual MMO. DO YOU KNOW WHAT CASUAL MEANS? It means not having to plan out full-crew runs amongst a team with all the perfect rings a week in advance to make sure you have a shot at beating an area. It means not having to use ring polishers to make it a fair fight.

Luckily diagnose is the only affected ring among my usual set. That said, I still despise whoever it was that decided on this update. Funny note: bandage has been nerfed by 20%, the exact bonus a ring polisher gives you. Slight hint the devs want our money.

And now, a challenge.

I challenge any zOMG dev. ANY dev, to explain to me the logic behind constantly dropping the power of our rings. I then challenge them to show me that all rings are still useful.That's the point of balancing right? SO prove it. I DO NOT WANT a regular user to answer this challenge. I don't care what you have to say, because you do not know. I want to talk to someone either calling the shots, or informed about what's going on.


My eyes will explode out of my head if any G-staff member answers this by PM or otherwise, even just to mock me.
Damn I got a lot of catching up here. Anyway that's the main reason that I posted this thread is to see what kind of reasoning behind the constant nerfing of rings that other users or (unlikely) gaia staff can give me. And I do agree that most regular users can't give us a decent answer and that they always "guarantee" that it will balance out later on but so far it never has. My favorite ring from the beginning of zOMG was shark attack due to the large knockback, decent range, and strong attack of it. When they nerfed the strength, the reasoning was that pirate set was too "overpowered" and that it was dominating the game. Now that they've nerfed ALL the rings in the set now, pirate set is almost never gonna be used.

I know that the devs play the game, but do they really play fairly? I mean do they get all their rings through traditional means and all their orbs the same way? I highly doubt that and even if they did, I'm pretty sure that users would complain that they're doing too much work playing games instead of actually rewriting scripts etc.

That's real nice of you to start bashing on the zOMG Elite clan just because it's at the top of the list. Are you gonna start bashing the Newbie Supporting and Training guild too just because they're on the top guilds list through gaia staff affiliation? I don't think so. You should try and do a little research first before jumping to conclusions.
