The Magician's Tower

I am not sure what anyone means about Tuli. In the last beta he made a forum for spells and aa's. He then went away so as not to distract us as he told devs what he needed.. Ahh I mean to let us foment ideas and suggestions he didn't read or comment about. When Beta was closed he posted all the things he knew and found out, but smurf Beta was in design lock and thru no fault of his own he waited to post till that was done.

So how can anyone say he was not doing his job in communicating with us? You see how often he comes to the new Tower? all of the time, it takes me hours to go through all his posts. Koz was the same way he said he would not come to the new Tower, and he willing told us he had a great spell nerfed as he felt it needed to be and got us nothing in return. With these shining examples some of you complain our reps in the CL program are lacking. For shame on you all.

Another shining example. After Hot went live I joined the serverwide channel, and Tuli was on. I asked why when we mentioned 5 to 10 times why a grant invis stone was not given to us he was shocked as he didn't know we wanted it. You see how often he read the beta threads now. He was on top of things. Shockingly he said a minute as he was talking to the devs at the same time, now that is open communication. He basically said the dev didn't know either and was not going to change it this go round.

So you see Tuli was on top of things, he was just so busy pushing his ahh I mean our agenda he just couldn't post till it was over to keep us informed. To think some of you think he doesn't care, doesn't read the threads on a section he created, you would be right. Ahh I mean how dare you, he was and does care about all parts of his game style. I mean all play styles.

I do think we need one more person though from this message board as Tuli is so over worked not reading the beta threads, not communicating to us here, not commenting on anything but his play style. I mean with such an agenda how would he have time to worry about anything else? all that time ignoring us must be a huge burden and such hard work. You know it takes him not hours but days and weeks to ignore things, it is exhausting.

I suggested to them they needed to add Voragath as the mages here would support that as someone who voiced our concerns, etc. The response I got there from SOE was that they would ask for nominations later and to submit that comment then. So it wasn't a no...but it wasn't a yes either.

Thanks, Sven! And just a few months ago (March, maybe?) I PM'd Pie and told him I wanted to be a part of the CC program. He said he'd be making changes and would post about it. Then this out of left field and no one a chance to get in. /sigh

Guess I'll have to PM him again and I'll also have to let him know what a lovely job Tuli has been doing. Maybe he needs some help because he is clearly overwhelmed

Hmm... I see there is a way to add but it looks like once you are in, you are a lifer unless you stop participating or remove yourself. That means we'll need to get two mages in to overrule Tuli's incompetence.

Some things never change....

At this point it can't get any worse. I was happy when elidroth said he wanted to up our DPS and not have it tied to pets. Then he changed it to pets and spells. Then that post about us only being able to burst every 2 hours... wow. No other class has to deal with that, I remember when zerkers were completely up in arms over SS only being usable every 72 minutes. A lot of nights my guild only raids for 3 hours! Does that mean I only get to be close to melee damage 2 times / night??

I hate putting it this way but... if the devs actually played EQ this kind of mistake wouldn't happen. They would know how often classes were burning, and what class was doing what DPS.

I honestly don't understand the devs thoughts here. All the inconsistent information were getting from the devs isn't helping. Normally we could depend on our CL to help us out here, but Tulisin hates raiders, and only wants more freaking DS's. He cares so little about others ideas he doesn't even come here to talk to us about them. The way he acts in SW mage is just a joke.

This is why people like Malleria have lost interest in playing. Why raid when you know your going to get stomped? Tulisin knew about the DPS issues during UF beta, during HoT beta and did nothing. The devs had people sending in parses left and right proving how bad raiding mages had it, and did nothing. I've seen a lot of "we'll do this, and we'll do that" that never happen (hello TC'ed RS pets!).

How many good mages need to leave EQ before somebody gives a smurf? I'm guessing all of us, I dont' think they give a smurf anymore. This latest round with elidroth is really killing my interest in playing.
