Are You There, Devs?

Obviously I'm not expecting much but after all this outpouring of emotion from people who are invested in this game, both monetarily as well as emotionally, I really feel like we need at least SOME sort of acknowledgment from the Dev team towards all the frustration that is being felt.

I'm not saying that they have to reverse absolutely everything (but I wouldn't mind that) I just want anything from them saying that they understand and a little glimpse into what they're thinking. Whether it be "suck it up players" or "we're taking what's said into consideration"

SOMETHING!

I've heard (and sometimes participated in) some griping from time to time but I've never seen it this bad. I don't know if the "wait till it all blows over" approach is going to work this time..

Please speak up devs. The silence is deafening.

PS The reason people are so upset is because they love the game so much. There's still time to make this right icon_e_smile.gif

  • Hey Devs,

    Can we please hear from you? Do you care at all about any of the feedback you're receiving? Will there be any humility on your part to admit that you have made some mistakes?

    I WANT to love this game. I WANT to play this game. I have been playing it non-stop for weeks now. But this week, I've pretty much stopped playing. It's too hard, and I'm not going to spend money on boosts.

    Come on! Give us something! Even if you feel totally justified in the changes you have made, at least let us know that. It will make my decision as to whether to keep playing or not easier. Your silence makes it seem like the changes made to the game are totally fine with you. Is this the case?

    A developer was replying to posts for 30 minutes before and after this was posted. You could literally see a dev had the last reply to posts immediately above and below this. This was a stupid post made before looking at the rest of forums. The devs were right in front of their face.

    On that note, the games basically hopeless at this point. Just follow your instincts of run and don't look back.
  • The continuous silence speaks for itself.

    They don't care about you or your petty concerns; now pay up.

    They are so into fixing everything, they dont have the time to reply here.
    But maybe if they don't do anything, it would be better. If they improve something, we will also get the two steps backwards!

    Wow, Psykopathic. You're just a peach to be around, aren't you? **** dude? Get over yourself. I don't have time to be searching posts non stop. I actually did search for posts about an hour ago and there was nothing.
  • I'm not a hardcore players like some people. But I have been playing everyday for an hour or so at least since the game came out but this week I have rarely played the game at all. It's just too hard now and not fun at all. I miss it and hope the devs can at least start making a effort to make this game enjoyable again.

    If you honestly feel that way, then why are you still here? Honest question.

    You've been on the forums long enough the last 24 hours to know in assisting people with their refund requests. Also looking for a new game while I do so.

    Who pissed in your cornflakes? If you can't tell this difference someone asking the Devs to make some sort of comment acknowledging that everyone is pretty pissed and me asking if they physically are looking at the forums, you're pretty dense. Or just intentionally shoving that stick farther up your butt. Watch out for splinters.

    Deaf and blind maybe?

    Demiurge_Will was posting like crazy directly before and after out thread. You literally posted this right above 2 of his responses. No one pissed in anything if mine but someone obviously stole your glasses because all you had to do was open ur eyes to see a dev posting.

    I feel like you have the ability to understand individual words but when I put them in a row your cognative skills disappear. Again, because I have to say this twice apparently, I was asking for a Dev to make some sort of statement (ideally it's own thread, not a single comment on someone else's) in regards to the general populus' displeasure. Now if you're too slow to understand that fact, please find another thread to troll.

    **** do you think he was commenting about on the other threads? Ponies?

    Well, since my username is Ironyman, I guess it's my duty to point out the irony of that statement in light of your inability (or refusal to) understand simple points. I/many of us are looking for an announcement from the Dev team to see what their feelings are about this situation. Many would use that as a point of reference to see what they planned so we could decide whether to keep playing or not. Making some comments in the middle of others' threads is much different than making a statement to all users
  • Not sure what they could say that would satisfy y'all. They are trying to find a balance between keeping content fresh and enjoyable in a way that keeps people invested in the long run of the game, and also keeping a reasonable amount of spending in the mix so they can continue to operate as a business. This game is free to play so you should expect to have to pay somewhere down the line. Obviously some missteps have been made recently but I'm watching to see how they are fixed.

    I can't speak for everyone but for me, I don't have to be satisfied with what they say. I don't even have to like it. But when there's so much obvious frustration and so many people asking for refunds, the LEAST they could do is create a sticky on the forum with an official: "we're looking into it" or a "suck it up, it is what it is"
  • Well I'm no apologist but as far as the PvE event, they've acknowledged the mistake with scaling enemy levels and I'm sure it won't be as bad next time. They've talked exhaustively about the recent changes to Thorverine. They said last night they're fixing progression rewards in PVP. They were extremely open about the Patch bug. Ice9 and Demi are very responsive in my opinion. On the suggestions board, I posted that a policy needed to be created about cheaters and hacking, as these boards are loaded with reports and suspicions. Two days later a post appears with red names explaining their policy towards cheating and what to do if you suspect someone. Very good response. Give them a break, they're working hard for the money.

    Did they say they're reverting back to the old format (level remain the same) or just tinkering it so it's less demanding (level still rises) to compete against?
