isnt the enforcer taskboard put together by people in the enforcers and not the mods? and isnt the only real requirement to joining the enforcers is being in the game for a month? could be be mistaken

i doubt the teleportation device is going to as difficult to use as youre making it out to be once the mods want it to actually be used. if it is then that would be seriously dumb

as someone in the puzzle group, I can confirm at the only reason enforcers are keeping watch is because the device is not yet ready to be used by the general public.

Okay, that clears up some of my questions but it still stands... The puzzle to unlock this went up around 3 months ago and just got solved and it's still not ready for the general public? I understand bureaucracy exists in the real world but this is RP. If the mods didn't want people going down to the other City right now they should have waited to implement this event. It just kills any and all hype to have this build up, get it unlocked, and then be met with oh yeah you can't use it yet anyway.

if it just got solved, how or why would it be open to the general public? it's been six days since the announcement and announcing something and then giving it some time for it to be actually useful isn't unheard of in RP. if there was no government or politics involved in the game then sure it would make sense to have it available to the playerbase straight away, but it would be weirder to ignore the fact that these exist in this game. i dont agree that it kills any hype because the mods have been building up that we're going to get more soon with the sign ups to talk to the arehtei.

i agree though that this could have been solved sooner and the document the group got for the puzzle looked ridiculous to expect them to solve. the fact we went so long without anything plotwise and what we got was something our characters could only look and stare of didnt sit well with me when it was revealed initially

it started one month as a "solve by the end of the month!" plot, and then they changed their minds and wanted to stretch things out. the puzzle itself was poorly organized and the mods would not hear any of it the first time a gdoc went up. then they refused to make it open to just anyone to look into and see if they were interested? you had to friend the account and agree 100% you wanted to be in on it, and overall it was just very closed off and vague and confusing and drawn out.

on top of that, none of this was shared with the public. they just kept saying it was still going, without any details, and after already being promised things multiple times it was easy to lose interest.

NOW if we want to get involved at all we have to go through the enforcers? how many months until something comes from this? I'm not going to get invested and wait around just for the pacing to continue like this.

i'm going to say the main issue we both agree on here here is how long the mods actually took to have this piece of plot solved? and also how complicated the puzzle was for some reason. i still dont personally agree that any of us will have to go through the enforcers OOCly once our characters can use it and that for now they're just involved by name because they're the police force of the game and it makes sense to say they're guarding it, but PCs in the enforcers don't appear to getting anything out of this reveal.

but the mods have shown bad pacing and a lot of loose ends that make me scratch my head. there's still nothing being done about the broken crystal and this device could have been revealed sooner than 2-3 months of nothing but festival events.

the only special plot the enforcers seem to actually have is the one with the tunnels, if anything is actually going on with that.

They also did a poor job of explaining when it would even happen so people could even know if their character would be available.

Also if you as a player sucked at puzzles, well pretty much they pretended your character wasn't there at all.

i was disappointed i couldn't get involved after months of silence on the plot end because my character just wasn't smart enough to help and knew it. :(

Echoing what the person above of me said.

In addition I don't think the questioning of the Arehtei is being handled very well either. If the log had just gone up around the same time as the mid month announcement I wouldn't have had an issue but instead they're dragging out the plot again in the same way they did with the puzzle plot. An original lottery sign up! Great! A second confirmation sign up where they state they reserve the right to drop your thread at any time! Not so great. If they were worried about taking on too much work/npc threads they shouldn't have set the bar at 20 characters at the start. They manged the 7 or so that got to talk to her during the event just fine, they should have just reused that number.

actually i agree with you on points there. i don't see the need to have people confirm a second time they're interested in talking with an arehtei when they already signed up, but they also put themselves in this strange position by allowing the puzzle plot to be dragged out this long. i'm only guessing that they want to fit information concerning shaarnath and the state of the game inside the same post for convenience, which in that case they could have allowed the puzzle to be solved sooner.

icly it makes sense for the enforcers to be guarding the device now. but if they had hurried this along sooner then it would work better for everyone.

^this, plus the whole point of the enforcers taskboard was to create cases that characters in the general public could notice and investigate alongside anyway

not arguing that it wasnt kind of badly implemented but an attempt was made
