This entire first post was updated on 6/4/13.
I closed my last feedback thread a while ago, and the reason why I did still stands true. It's not because I didn't think it was providing valuable information: I closed it for the fact that who I was then is different than who I am now and I don't want people's opinions of me jaded by posts criticizing who my past faults and accomplishments.
I'm still far from perfect. And since the last thread helped me better myself, I want to see if this one can't push me a few steps further in the right direction.
Anyway! Since my return a few weeks ago, I was hoping I could get some feedback on my Role-playing, Events, Construction Projects and Demeanor.
Role-Playing
I've pared back on my collection of character recently.
Characters I Play
I've caved to the pressure. People just weren't liking me all that much when I played Evil characters. As such, I've paired down my list of villains down to only one often un-used character, Lustig. All the others are characters are convoluted good (Claremont, Nessari) or Neutral (Moriok, Vetia).
So I am curious: How am I as a role-player? Honestly I am trying to make my characters more unique. I keep relying too much on accents and elocution to separate one from the other, so I've fallen into either Nobles or Thugs.
Do I need to change up things? Alter my characters in some way? Tweak my writing style? Try out new arch-types that I haven't touch before?
Events
I've been trying to kick up my use of semi-frequent events.
So far most of my events have been either for The Sable Dragon Inn or The Felfire Club.
And they have, for the most part, been fiercely regulated and inflexible.
I've really lost my ability to do spurr-of-the-moment events. Work and a burgeoning social life have made it harder and harder for me to just randomly sit down and hold a two hour long event.
Is there any way I can fix my events up a little bit? Make them more enjoyable?
Demeanor
This one hits a bit closer to home and I want people to be honest with me on this one: Do people not like me?
I'll be honest, I am not the most self-confident of people online. I have confidence in spades in real life (Or I've learned to fake it so well even I don't know the difference, which in a way is a form of confidence), but the minute I get on line I start second-guessing how people view me.
On top of that lackluster self-confidence, I've also had trouble up until very recently with anger and jealousy. Anyone who knows me knows that, while I am not one to outwardly yell or insult people, I hold grudges at the drop of the hat. I've even translated my own anger into one of my characters.
I've been trying very hard to get over that hatred, however. I try to focus on what I have, not what other people have. But is there anything else that I am not seeing? Any other little flaws that I am not working on correcting?
I welcome people's honesty! If you want to be honest but don't want people viewing your comments/feel you would be able to provide better feedback via other ways, you can reach me on Skype at 'Rosencrat', PM me or grab me in game!
I promise, I don't bite!
