bump ~ ~~~

[AnonymousHero]

Why do you think this needs bumping?

Nobody cares what you think unless you're willing to actually come up with sound reasons why things shouldn't be changed and perhaps come up with better alternatives. Btw, "I don't like it" doesn't count.

(Am I the only one who thinks this joker should be banninated?)

Yep. I couldn't figure out why the bump either. The OP was a statement of opinion, not a request or a question that would demand a response.

I'm not convinced the dos needs to be banned. He comes. He goes. His grammar is horrible and many of his posts are nonsense. Those aren't criminal (in small doses). However, I can see how continued clones of himself appearing could quickly become intolerable.

This natural creature is normally found at depths of 0 feet, and moves extremely erratically, and quickly. A kill of this creature is worth 0.00 points for a 1st level character. It luckily does NOT breed explosively. Way too much is known about its attacks.

So in short "You guys are wasting your time, your work sucks, please don't be angry or abuse me for the anger and abuse I have directed at you."

Yeah, thanks for that.

Dont worry, even if v4 beats WoW on user count in 2013 you'd still see someone complaining. I'd be surprised if any game ever will not get a version of the previous neg comment, regardless of the quality. Myself I'm impressed with what is being done and happy the Angband project is live and kicking

[buzzkill]

If DOS says it sucks, then you must be doing something right... or wrong... hmmm. Well you certainly must have done something to alter the game from the way in which it was once perceived to be by someone. Tread lightly.

I'm not looking at v4 as a playable game, and Dos shouldn't either, it is what it is and that is a testing ground for new ideas, so I respect it for what it is.

With that in mind, play at your own peril and frustration.

And Dos- I've made my complaints about the game, but that is because I think developers should get feedback on what people think, I don't outright abuse their ideas, If I get mad about something I go play something else for a while, but I eventualy come back anyway.

At least tell the developers what you don't like in development, without being Rageful about it, that would be more insightful at least.

Best way to deal with cases like dos350 is to ignore them - they feed on the attention their intentionally absurd behavior gets them.

Malak - JFTR - I am v grateful you are giving the 3.4RC another go with the new comp. I look forward to your further feedback. (Sorry about the version string - that's been troubling us for ages, as it's OS-specific.)

While anyone is welcome to try to persuade dos to be more constructive, I just wanted to reassure everyone that it isn't something that keeps devs awake at night. Other people's feedback continues to be very welcome and important, of course.

That said, it's true that work on v4 has slowed to a halt recently. With luck it will pick up once 3.4 is out.

The devs shouldn't have to. The other forum members are perfectly capable of handling the pointless/trolling posts (by ignoring them), but there are always those folks who just seem to lack the willpower to resist replying to them, encouraging the behavior.
