I don't think that you were wrong with what you asked. It is too bad that your post was deleted, I would have liked to read it.

I also think that LOTRO has an overabundance of fanboys.

If Frosty is out of the picture then we might have a real problem. If we don't have anyone from the UI dev team with us then that would mean the end of skinning eventually (or a change that the future skins would at least partly be made with Lua instead of the old way - thinking about mainbar here - but that won't happen for awhile anyways).

Sorry to hear about the flamers Eili. There's always people like that.

Anyways until we know more the only way to get the skins updated is for the people asking a Skin Art Pack update for us skinners. If not - I'm afraid there will be no updates on the existing skins.

Dunno if we should wait for a bit longer for the new char panel to go live for example and start requiring answers after that or should we hit the barricades right now.

Meantime you can make (any of you) a request behalf of us skinners in here so they don't forget us:

or better yet add to the thread i started >>>HERE<<<

i posted essentially the same thing as Eili and no flaming...

so lets keep it alive an hopefully someone will see it on monday

as for eili's post..i read it...and i can see how some might have misconstrued what was being said because the overall tone of the post to me was one of frustration....but someone else may have seen it otherwise and made a knee-jerk flame...

or it just be those folks dont like Eili for some unknown reason

either way lets keep my post alive...and flame free

:D

I send Frosty a PM. Let us hope he can give an answer. He has done so much good for this community in the past - only thing is if he will be able to respond because of his contract with Turbine.

ok..finally got a response to my thread

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...new-art-assets

in which Sap says this:

so...not great news...but at least we got some acknowledgement...just need to keep that thread alive so they dont forget.

:D

After beeing ignored for months at least we finally have an answer.

What will be the result ...... i cross fingers and put all my hope on it :)

and on a side note....i have gotten a perma ban it seems ( no email yet explaining the ban) for things i said in that thread and in others pointing out Turbine's faults....

:(

Wow, I never noticed how much of an urgency this has become.

I'd love to keep seeing new cool UIs coming in.

That's the problem with Turbine...stuff gets introduced into the game, and then it gets pushed to the wayside without even a word as to why.

Hobbies, housing and UI's are just an example.

I am willing to bet that LUA scripting will eventually be dropped as well, and all of the community programmers will be left in the dark about it.

Help should be on the way :)
