I don't mind a new editor for the forums, however the quote mechanism is terrible. You can't cut a quote up into pieces to comment on individual parts of it. Or edit a quoted post in order to highlight or emphasize parts.

I think you are missing @Tony_Foot 's point.

The question he is asking is does poor communication warrant a 1* rating.

I enjoy playing this game a lot. I also acknowledge that communication has never been ideal and that it seems to have reached its lowest point in the game's history. But to be honest, if I were to give a rating the lack of communication would be a minor factor at best.

I don't think Tony Foot was trying to mock anyone. He has a valid point: It is unfair to review bomb a game solely over lack of communication. Presumably, everyone here enjoys the game to some degree. A 1* rating suggests the game is terrible and not worth anyone's time. So if anyone is being dishonest, it's the player who enjoys the game but gives it a false rating.

I think the most important point that Tony Foot brings up is that the dev team is working on the game.

While communication is at an all time low, over the past 6 months the game has seen the introduction of shards, the release of CL10, new character blogs, new events like Evergreen and Oops All Spiders, new tokens, new feeders and a shift in the meta. I am enjoying the game a lot more than I was a year ago. So I am willing to give the dev team some leeway on the communication issue as long as they continue making improvements to the game. I also think we have to consider that D3 has a lot more on its plate now than it did when the game first launched.

Beyond minor resource management, I don't see how the dev team answering any of the questions asked affects actual in-game experience. If they plan on making adjustments or changes, they will let us know. I am not sure how understanding the intended design goals will have any real value on actual game experience. In fact, if anything it commits them to such comments and risks having them thrown back at them when actual play experience is different. So I can see why they would be reluctant to discuss anything beyond the bare essentials.

I understand people are frustrated with the current level of communication being provided but how much of that information is necessary for you to enjoy the game? I do feel that all the information needed to enjoy the game is either already provided here on the forum, available in game or can be gleaned from your own play experience. So I am a bit baffled by the display of anger and frustration in regards to this matter.

Here I thought the developers actually answered when I saw the uptick in responses. Nope...

Fight, you’re the one who has it wrong I’m sorry. Attacking other players and calling them entitled or demanding is just wrong. The purpose of my post was to help a developer who said he was looking to answer questions. That’s the premise I was working off of. So any questioning about their resources, what other games do or don’t do, and our expectations, needs to take that key fact into account. It’s not unreasonable to expect (read: not demand) communication when someone voices an intention to communicate.

I also feel people have the right to review the game however they want. If someone gives it 5* I’m not going to get upset because “that implies the game is perfect and it clearly isn’t!”. I can enjoy the game and rate it 1* because as a recommendation for OTHERS (what a review is mostly) I can say “steer clear!”. Many posters maligned the original “review bombing” but it got results in terms of righting what in my opinion (and many many others) was a huge wrong with the shards rollout.

To me, communication is crucially important. It’s just how I’m wired. I like people that are honest and transparent. I like people who own up to their mistakes. I like people who speak truth even if it’s not what I want to hear. These are values of mine. How I’m valued and treated as a customer is also of importance to me. Whenever we have a survey and I talk about the things I want to see improved, communication is always #1. If that’s not a value of yours that’s fine. Then this thread isn’t for you. I’ve already told him he could move on earlier because it’s destructive to the purpose of this thread. By the way I wouldn’t myself rate the game 1* due to communication alone, but wouldn’t be upset at someone else using their voice that way either.

Order up!

The obligation for communication doesn't magically go away because this forum group is sometimes grumpy. The fact of the matter is that they aren't communicating with anyone. No questions are being answered on Facebook, or Twitter, or Discord, or via Marvel.com articles, or anything.

And no, they don't communicate "like every other game out there." Other games communicate with players. Hell, man, you can go to the GI Joe forums on THIS WEBSITE and see better communication than MPQ gets. Acting like every other game out there commits to radio silence to justify MPQ doing it is dishonest at best.

I'll agree that these forums can be entitled at times, but we aren't even getting the base level of interaction we used to get on similar updates in this same game from the same developers. We have years of history of better communication, and we can't even compare that to the current situation because we don't even have any current communication to use as comparison.

Acting like the current state of communication is justified is ignorant. You can't honestly believe that it's okay for a game that undergoes constant updates to maintain a level of radio silence with a playerbase it previously communicated with regularly for years. People are threatening 1-star reviews because they're desperate. Mocking them for it doesn't exactly paint you in good light.

I'd like to thank the devs for the release of CL10. Not because it was particularly well thought out. Not because it isn't just more grinding. Not because the 650 node was released much differently than it was described.

I'd like to thank the devs for the release of CL10 because it effectively wiped out the Nerf Bishop Threads on the main page.*

*Please nerf Bishop ;)

Yesterday I pulled my 13th cover for 5* thor from classics. This morning i got enough shards on 4* professor to champ 5* professor. Woot woot 2 new toys to play with in scl 10.

My thorkoye has been weak for so long since my thor was at 3 green. Now they are the wrecking crew I heard tales of.

No, he'll get half of a hat in shards.

Developers:

Auto ap generation should either be off when a tile mover is on the team or they should setup teams so that they are only feeding their own colours and not those of the tile mover.
