As a tester, I will say that every time a new aspect comes out on test (and I'm not taking a break from the game) I go check it out to report to The Mouse. Now, I will admit I'm not really good about posting my findings in The Helm, here.
But I'm also operating from a sense of frustration:
Go to Padres. Test or Open, it doesn't matter. From the main docks, where you can fish, there's a blacksmith's shop up the beach to your right. Everyone savvy where I mean?
There's a building there with two doors. There's a blacksmith sign in front of the first door, as you're approaching from the dock. The actual blacksmith's shop is behind the second, further door.
I have reported this eight (8) separate times on test since Padres was re-designed. It's my personal pet peeve. But it has yet to be fixed, and I know it has to be confusing for new/lower level players.
I wanted so badly to be a tester, and was lucky enough to get into the tiny window of opportunity a couple of years ago when they opened it up to everyone (just for an hour or so, I think).
But when you repeatedly report the same problems, and see no resolution, it's easy to lose heart.
Slasher - I know what you mean. I understand The Mouse's reasoning behind banning numbers from chat, but it's obvious to all of us that there are easy ways around it (Won, To/Too, Tree, For, etc.).
Panda 3D is Disney's own creation. They allow others to use it for free, but they didn't just pick up some random free software - they built it.
And I've got to say this too, or burst: Disney totally missed the boat on advertising the game when On Stranger Tides movie ads came out. It would have been the perfect opportunity to show a game come-on during the trailers that appeared on T.V., the internet and during movie previews. They completely dropped the ball in luring new players into the game.
Although, given the state of the game right now, I'm not sure a huge addition of new players would be a good thing for the rest of us. But, still, what a lost revenue opportunity. I don't get that.
