As the title sais, actually hire staff to work on and fix shit. balance classes for once. if you think they are good, put up a striker and a witch againts each other in pvp, or see how much ap one class needs to kill the barrier of infestation kzarka lvl 5 vs the other. could you please pull a few dev's off creating new costumes and outfits and have them work on improving the game?

The staff that develops new costume are not the same staff that develops new content and the staff that develops new content are likely not the same staff that improves the QoL / fixes bugs etc... For sure they have different teams. During Calpheon Ball as well as other things like Late night talks etc... They go through some of the more popular feedback posts and discuss them and how they are improving the game based on this feedback.

Presently, if a thread becomes popular enough it will be sent to the Adventurer's Feedback board for review and a confirmation from the CM about the status of the suggestion will be given. The rule of thumb is at least 200 likes. With that said, if there's a severe balance issue between classes and a thread is made about it and it gets over 200 likes they will most likley address the issue with at least a statement of some kind.

Unfortunately with 20-some classes I can see it as being an impossible task to balance. With 3 classes (the trifecta) it's easy to balance but with every class added it becomes exponentially harder. To be honest they should probably be using A.I. to balance the classes using spreadsheet data and machine learning to help. There are classes that are obviously outmatched that you don't need a spreadsheet to recognize it. But, as far as bugs go they have outlined that they are going through and fixing what they can but certain things like the massive latency issues especially in the ocean are difficult to fix. I think there was a story where they tried to redo the sailing system or something and it caused even more problems so they had to stop trying using that method lol

balance is sadly not so easy with so many variables.

maybe its not easy, but its easy to see when its unbalanced. and not doing anything about it with the reason of "its not easy" is pretty lame.

also, i know the costume devs arent the same. so spend some of your budget on soethign else other than costumes, or new rng loot box for pearls

The Donkuanatt topic is popular enough, with 800+ reactions to it.
What's even more popular is the Distant LoD issues, with over 1.3k reactions to it.

Or something lighter, like the topic of Sea content (that probably has a dozen threads related to it).

How about something that was just deleted from the game, so it wouldn't take long to bring back, like the Walk animations?

I'll even go as far as adding here my suggestions about improving the MoEW content (overhyped and underdelivered).

Or maybe suggestion related to the quality of the Pearl Store outfits (not at 200 reactions, but also important, I'd say).

Compare that with what's on the AFB atm, reactions wise, that is.

I'm starting to doubt AFB has much weight in what the community asks for (and I'm not talking here about the elusive class balance). If it's cheap to implement or is already in the works, they'll do it. Otherwise, you can have over 9000 reactions and it'll still stay seemingly unvisible to everyone. 

Or, at best, they'll get "Reviewed".

Those ideas only have only 88/33 reactions tho, not like these would matter, it's just some missinformation a certain someone spreads for good knows why.

It's completely up to the cm's own bias what they pick, and usually they pick ideas that are acidentally hit by an upcoming patch and they rarely take the idea into account at all.

If you actualy log into the PA site you get 1 page that shows very liitle of the threads posted here and they have picked ones they say they applied to make it look good.  ALL threads should have at least a checkmark or notation, ackowledged by a staff member capable of conveying possible fixes, additions, or ideas to the Dev team.  

Most improved game my ass. EVASION IS A PANDEMIC, THIS NEW CLASS IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. Any Ranged class is meta, and also DR is broken. It takes them months to fix anything because they couldnt care less.

None of these turds look at these comments, its only money they want.

Arguable. All the outfits they released are of such a poor quality - from rigging to texturing - and of such a poor (pr0n?) taste that I wouldn't buy them at a 90% discount, if the intention would be to wear them. Show a lot of skin and underwear and hope that's enough to make a sale. Sad mindset.

I get where you're coming from, however right now PA seems overwhelmed with work and as you can see, no threads have been added to the feedback board and CMs haven't even commented or updated anything here. When I contacted a GM the other day it took like 6 days for a response because they were overwhelmed. They released two classes back-to-back which are very broken and they are preparing to release a new continent with a lot of new features. They are also probably preparing for another calpheon ball or whatever their next event will be called. Everyone's busy and I don't think that the forums are going to get much attention until they get time for it. That doesn't mean we shouldn't keep posting though, we just have to be a bit more patient while they sort things out with higher priority.  If 3000 people can't login because of steam issues and they all send in a ticket, that's a lot of tickets to respond to. :O
