(Now as much as I hate to do this, I feel it's just gonna get out of my head finally and not bother me for a while. Also, I wasn't quite sure where to post this in the first place. Metarodor pls? Just a reminder, before you read this. Read it with an open mind, at least. I don't want the same QQ I'm witnessing in the zoner threads. Which is quite hilarious and painful to look at.)
Actually nevermind. I originally meant to post this elsewhere. But being the least considerate, I guess I simply decided to do it it's own thread. It just made more sense, I suppose. And I felt like clarifying the crap that I wrote before.
Quote:Meanwhile I do not know the exact burden devs have on the game. Since if I remember correctly, many of you are only working on certain fields. (Which is how it is normally anyway.. It seems. Dumb brain of mine..) I'm too bloody curious to know how.. "hard" dev work is to be exact. Or if it aint hard, then hugely time consuming? And possibly, how in the world of living hell do you deal with people? (AKA; The community.) Because the SHEER amount of complaints and all other utter crap I've seen is tremendous. And also, quite hilarious too.. hah. A small portion of it is feasible on though.. and not plain QQ that somebody should immediately take in and do a whole World War II scenario again.
While I can expect this to have been asked multiple times. I'm too damn lazy to even try to find any thread that HAS useful info. I just want to know what devs are dealing with currently. While to some I could expect this thread to seem like someone asking to be a dev in a subtle way. I am not, but I also am at the same time.. I guess you could say that. Also, #rantsfordays

(I'm more or less pointing fingers at the sheer amount of lolwuts and imbeciles this community has. Whether I say some names or no, I won't bother as it will not help one bit. Neither can I remember any.. probably. Also who can't mention the current drama going around the zoners, eh?)
Exactly what I mean. This is just so horrid I really can't even think of what to do myself, or even IF I EVEN WANT TO, in order to "possibly" help this god forsaken place rise up from the deep abyss it's fallen into.
Now. I don't want to start a flamewar or anything. But it's still a valid point to me in this post. I don't see it being worth anyone's time most of the time it's just a dramafest after another after another and after another... It's plain annoying and stressing to some people. Who actually would like to play this game without any of it.
You could actually ask the same question I saw in another thread before. What is keeping you in disco? Or why exactly do you play it?
Maybe some would say: "But it was so much better x and y ago."
To me, I would simply ask. Well why isn't it good anymore then? What happened that made it so much worse?
Ehh.. rants aside. (Which seems to be the only thing I can do right now.) I am highly pessimistic, which might explain my attitude towards this whole place. But it seems to be better than being optimistic to be quite honest...
It only took me half a year or a bit more to start disliking this whole thing.
Half of the RP is plain PvP. Some are just worthless. And very few are even fairly good. Now, I do not meant to bash on people who PvP, as It can be fun to do that too. (If only lag wouldn't be a problem.) But if it's only that in-game. It gets REAL boring, REAL quick.
If people would be serious, maybe this mod would get some of it's life back.. Perhaps.. perhaps not. I'm still voting on the latter.
As far as it goes for me, I've taken a crack at it for a brief moment, helping with NPCs a few years back. While working with the person at the time, he simply told me that there are tons of people capable of working on the devteam and having the skills with the tools they use. The thing is, every dev wants something of their own ideas to be put in the mod and usually leave when they realize they aren't getting anything out of it.
My two cents, Disco hasn't died yet. So something must be going along the right lines. Go figure.

Go figure indeed.. And If you ask me. I doubt I'd have the imagination or time or willingness to even TRY implementing something of my own. But I guess I can do what I'm told, or think of.. small things? HECK IF I KNOW.
Fml.
