    Hey guys, I didn't really want to make this post but I feel at this point it has become pertinent. Not long ago I made a post regarding the need to be more transparent in regards to server development, whilst that was somewhat met, it was not the news that we as a community wanted to hear. To be more specific, we as a community have pretty well been left in the dark regarding the release of any new content for the server, Every attempt to find out as to when the release or even an approximated date of the next content patch has simply been evaded or otherwise ignored, most GM officials don't even seem to know what's going on which is indeed worrying to me and I imagine to others as well. I understand that the server is in an "Open Beta" but that as an excuse for some of the issues regarding functionality can only be stretched so far, it's already October and there still isn't any way to adjust client side render distance, a HUGE problem for people with weaker machines, people don't have means to view active phases, Custom content has been removed from the server in favour of making it public content, so on and so forth. The biggest quarrel that I have with what's essentially being done here and I have expressed this to a multitude of people is that, things are being taken out with no adequate substitute being put in it's place. For example, in the early days of release, we had a pseudo form of phase viewer. Albeit it was inaccurate with it's displayed totals of people in the phase, it was still a means of viewing phases. Custom content, on this particular matter we had a multitude of people creating new content for the server which for many was a major reason for wanting to join Epsilon in the first place. It's to my understanding that a new method of content sharing is currently being implemented that would allow for clients to be forcefully integrated with approved user patches. I like the idea of where this plan is going, however like the first, you are taking away content without having a proper substitute in it's place, removing patches from the server. Previously things were just fine as they were, people that did not want patches would simply not download them and those who wanted them would download them, simple as that, taking away the patches and forcing people to wait for the next update has more less shot you in the foot. The current state of Epsilon is best comparable to that of RPH but with MUCH LESS, so far things that have set us apart from them have more or less been taken away and more and more people I am finding are making their way over to greener pastures. To summarize, stop being secretive with the community, it's one thing to hold back information, however when it's gotten to the point where an extended period of time where no content or even as simple as a progress update has been given and you are taking away things as apposed to giving, it makes you look incompetent as developers. I don't want you all to read this and think of it as a stab because I and many of the other people that are still here want to see this community thrive and grow, however there needs to be some give from the development team. I hope this post gives you a little more insight to what is the problem with Epsilon and we can make progress towards putting us on the right track.

     

    Sincerely,

    My point still stands whilst some of it is outdated, the majority of what I wrote in here is still frighteningly accurate.

    Hope you find your way in the server! As Romeo said, Light Harbor and Ironshore are the main hubs however there are a few smaller private groups out there too, I believe I recall seeing a few advertisements whilst building last night. A good way to keep tabs on what's what in regards to phases and groups is to look at the #roleplay-ads on the discord as well. Otherwise, feel free to ask around! If you have any other questions can always ask me, i'm always willing to lend a hand. Welcome to the server man!

    There seems to be a handful of textures missing from the game, looking for some items like Champion Herod's equipment there used to be items for the set but since mogit was taken down most of the items have since vanished. I also recall us losing some Theramore guard sets as well. PLEASE bring them back!

    I'm more or less curious to know what you plan to provide for the story as far as the phase is concerned. It seems to all revolve around one concept and if that's the case it makes me question the longevity of the phase. Something to look into.l

    Stats are kinda arbitrary since you can toggle on and off God mode. I'm pretty sure the command is .cheat gm on/off correct me if I'm wrong. But yeah there ain't any PVP on this server so I don't see why you needed to buff up your stats.
