Well i think everything will eventualy happen in time and i do think mega evolutions should come to pmu along with other things such as egg rewards from missions like in the natural dungeon games but thats for a differnt topic… i feel bad for artmax for haveing to waste so much for a stone and waste so much time for not being able to use or atleast not have much to any work on it so hopefully everyone will figure out a way a good way that would benefit pmu and the players ect: to be able to use it cause mega evolutions are part of the dungeon seris now and the metagames and it be a shame not to have it in since its part of pokemon i kinda agree with the fact it can be holdable to a team member and be useable like that but… in metagames its held by the one that mega evos… so ehh not exactly realistic but i see how artmax said that it would ruin the point of haveing a item on he would need to use on his zard and such… so thats a tough idea to think on and the hold 600 step thing ect: is also unrealistic in terms so tbh idk how such a thing could be part of a game like this maybe follow the same route as psmd? i guess i never played the game so i wouldn’t know if its good/bad.
This! Couldn’t say it better.
This hilarious. Like really hilarious.
Anyway, as promised here is my input. Though this isn’t really about mega evolution specifically - more about the staff team in general.
^Yes. How many suggestions from people have actually gone to be considered even though it would help massively?
Anyway, the thing that really ticks me off is the treatment that the staff team did to Art. Art honestly has done a truck ton for PMU and for the staff (or at least certain staff, not pointing fingers) and is probably by far the most experience coder / scripter PMU is going to have. Sure, Nuxl is good too but it’s clear that Art definitely has the experience to help advance PMU to the next level. Mega Evolution being a prime example of this.
I actually despise mega evolution funny enough and usually i’d be like “yay no megas… yet.” but nah this is different. Like a lot different. If Art had everything finished and made, and as far as I’m aware and excuse me if I’m wrong but this is what I understand from reading this, the PMU staff actually AGREED to Art’s mega evolution too. So then why would you just turn on him, remove it and not tell him? Totally a huge stab in the back, a lack of respect and just all right wrong. Of course this doesn’t include every staff member. People like Nuxl actually help contribute at least despite that Art was supposed to receive a PM from him beforehand…
Last but not least…
What in the heck sort of crap was that in the ODP that the staff team pulled of!? Almost all staff left the skype group… because Art was obviously enraged and wanted some answers. Instead from what I read, he got “mocked” and just simply put aside. Then most staff with Drake with the announcement that they’re leaving the ODP chat looks like a getaway from this whole flame war. You heard Art, he isn’t letting this go no matter the costs - you probably should’ve known that. Lol. Poor treatment 100% - yet again the staff team has been in decline since Pikachu left. Well, thats what happens when you remove such an important part of PMU. But whatever.
Right, let the hate come, I’m ready.
The staff even scared of Viivi ;( but go on ART fix the community!
5+ years applying staff and not one reply of any sort even for failing.
Yet other people who join game for 1-2 weeks instantly become staff… :o.or:
(lol messed up this post twice)
Anyway: While we do not have a system for rejection (which is long overdue), nothing is stopping any applicant from following up with the status of their application.
I’m sure any of the current staff would be more than happy to keep users updated on request.
So they could just respond like they did with Artmax? No because we don’t like you? Like any of that matters, so long as the staff team doesn’t get a massive restructure it’s going to remain the same garbled mess it always has. A long time ago I had hoped people would eventually grow up on the staff team, or at least those who refused would be forced out by the community/wiser staff, but lo and behold several years later we are very much in the same place as before. The staff is still a cool kids club for all extensive purposes, where you only get in if you got brownie points and not by the caliber of your work, it’s laughable that this game has had so many staff that did nothing before and after being accepted, yet you have people like art who’ve done a ton for the game who’ve never even been or at least offered a position. It just highlights how currently favoritism > productivity in our staff structure, and that the only thing that’s really important for being staff is getting along with other staff. And people wonder why this game began to stagnate, in a game where productivity is secondary if even that to being likable.
i have read the whole thread and i respect and admire that art was ignored badly with no … good reason , but what i don’t understand is why did the staff put an un completed item on auctions and swore a future promise that cant be 100% guaranteed to happen :dot: seriously why XD ( i respect every single staff but that situation is just awkward :@~@: )
thx for reading
I think KAEN has a excellent point the game has gone downhill lately wether some people think its too boreing now and this and that there must be a reason behind it and i do admit hate saying bad stuff about staff cause as far as i have known of them they been pretty good other then some inncidents that i have had with iceberg… and i think once with andy but im not intirely sure but ik for sure iceberg was one, yet i still hear storys and yet i still see proof of otherwise not being good but i also have seen bad players so the whole war thing about whatever kinda needs to just stop and move over with life cause its as old as the beginning of pmu7 if not older and quiet frankly i’d feel instead of haveing a war about subjects it be more mangeable i’d think in getting something done with time then wasteing it with arguements ect: and sorry that i may come out rude with this if i sound it im trying to say it with little rudeness as possible without not saying it at all staff are surpose to be incharge of the game and the staff are surpose to depend on other staff and players to help make the game grow how else has this game grown from pmu6… to now cause of everyone coperateing and getting along thats why the game has grown and first of all if drake didn’t put money into the server we wouldn’t have a game at all and whoever else that does there part in this so i am very greatfull and glad drake does not saying that anyone is ungreatfull but there probely is some that arn’t,u can try to change a world for the people u care but u can’t intirely change the whole world and except everyone to get along there is bound to be some that will disagree with u and hate u for it. : P
Alright, this discussion has gone on long enough.
As of right now this thread has the sole purpose of bashing staff. It’s been done for the past few pages and it will no longer be tolerated.
If you have issues you want to bring up with us, you can always message us directly.
Locked.
I don’t think what happened was right… but I also don’t think posts following this thread is right to bash us versus actual constructive criticism, either.
I wasn’t even around for the auction that happened nearly 2 years ago. Your “promise” you keep clinging to is nothing more than weak threads that weren’t even directed at you by a staff gone from this game. You are the sole owner of a megastone that was never meant to be released yet. Pushing and pressuring the coders so you have a working item for yourself is not the way to do it. Even if it was working… what about the community? The other stones aren’t working, ORAS variants don’t exist, we barely have any pokemon sprites for them, and it wasn’t a priority(at least, I don’t feel mega evo is a top tier priority, honestly) but we-- afaik --are not shelving it into oblivion.
I’ve not said anything in regards to it yet because I’ve been busy with sprites and in-game mapping, and no, I haven’t ignored it after you whispered me to look at ODP. When I did, It was turning vile and I’m afraid you would have blasted me with some ill-conceited logic that would override anything I might have said… which brings me to a point, I’m just going to be refuted endlessly for one twisted reason or another, aren’t I?
My thoughts on the stone in question: I would have been fine with it if the other stones were coded as well, not just what you own, Art. Yes, the decision should have included more staff with the public being given reason. No, I do not believe this thread is the correct route, but I digress.
Also held stones + keystone/mega-accessory in bag, or bust.
note: well… wasn’t expecting a lock…
