I agree absolutely with you guys!Those Ram Riders were supposed to be something cool and unique but we get to see them only for 1 sec if you blink you miss them and to mention their models!I am really dissapointed too,my friends! Talking about Arnor has been proven pointless as did with the Dwarves,too bad but a fact!I too feel like they were intagrated just as a diversion to settle a little bit few people from English Forum and we still have to notice that the idea itself came from the German Forum,but I wouldn't bother to start about that! And I am really feeling like we are wasting our time on all those concepts and ideas in which we put our hearts.minds and entusiasm to create and help theis Great Mod to beceom the Greatest Ever but we go unnoticed!
P.S. About the Viking Hybrids well while they look good as Models I personly do not see them as Middle Earth style Dwarves but that is just my opinion,while they may fit for Orocarni Dwarves or some Evil Dwarves,I still do not see them so fitting in Tolkiens Middle Earth or at least that is in my taste and opinion!
And I think the Poll was clear enough to what the Fans want,but still the current Iron Hills Models can be used for so many other things!
The Edain team does not ignore English Forum.
But maybe you should think about this:
Is it really clever to post so many suggestions for every single bit of the mod/ single factions?
- more units
- different units
- current units changed in gameplay and design
- nearly every heroe changed in design, gameplay and abilities
- outpost buildings changed
- spellbook changed
- I don´t remember what else...
Maybe you should also think about this:
The current models for Iron Hills dwarves were implemented years ago (long before the first Hobbit movie) according to description in the book.
Players are used to these models and most older players as well as the team like (or even "love") those models as they are because they are "their" models, not some CGI from PJ!
Maybe you should accept that many players don´t want them changed and that the the team obviously don´t like the movie design of those dwarves.
All this does not mean that you are ignored or that you shouldn´t post any ideas.
But maybe you should focus on some ideas which are really important for you instead of shooting out hundreds of suggestions for changing nearly every bit.
I am no member of the Edain team, but I could also imagine it being annoying to release a new version of the mod (containing dwarves) and then seeing so much critics about design, heroe skills, spell book, balance... pop up in a few days.
So my suggestion:
- don´t be insulted when suggestions are not implemented
- focus on some important suggestions rather then shooting out every idea that comes to your mind
- accept that people who play this mod for so many years like some precious features which you might find "outdated"
- accept that the team also loves their pieces of work and does not want to change everything just because Peter Jackson made some movie.
- accept that the team is working on releasing the missing factions and therefore does not have so much time for too many changes in existing factions
- be patient to the day the full version of the mod will be released and the team can focus on an overhaul of a completed, stable running game!
