A good thing to keep in mind is that old mate Casey Malone was not just responsible for the original Gambit design and the subsequent redesign, he was also responsible for the 3* Iron Fist - another character who was Overpowered at release and required a rapid nerf.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions from that information, all I want to say is maybe we should start asking for who the designers are behind each character when they release.
Landale said: I am very disappointed with the change to 3* Gambit. I didn't care that you wanted to remove the GamBatt aspect - that was fine...heck, I was one of the first people to post that it seemed like a bug at first. I'm glad they finally removed it (even though I just christened a shiny new GamBatt myself).But, the 3* version Black cover is awful now. Charged tiles can either help or hurt, so it's not necessarily a boon to lay those down, and then to top it off firing the power damages the player's team? It better do a whole lot of damage to the targeted enemy to make up for that....now I can't see myself ever using him again except when he's an essential.
smkspy said: MPQ forum thought police strikes again. Snark (that isn't spam) is not against the rules and telling people not to use it to express their frustration is silly. It may not be helpful, but does not notice hurt or attack anyone. Don't like the snark from someone, ignore it. That's the cool thing about the internet, you get to pick and choose who you reply to. And IRCC, I don't remember such an announcement like this when the pvp change happened, also all those snarky threads and comments were okay, but not snark for this subject?
Maceo511 said: -snip-There’s 21 pages of what I thought was a great, level headed discussion, with really good suggestions, that apparently, were not taken into consideration. If something done is so laughly absurb, what else are we to do, but laugh and poke fun at it?
LifeofAgony said: That question of why has been asked multiple times but as Mr. Malone stated in his post, he will not be monitoring the thread further or responding. This seems to fly directly against what you are stating that they are reviewing comments and suggestions.So which of these correct?
tfcrazy1980 said: Brigby, question, how is it different when mods have a tendency to make snarky remarks? Is it the content of said snarky remark or is it the person its aimed at? Just asking a serious question because ive seen it numerous times.
The developers definitely do review the comments and suggestions posted in the forum. This can be further proven by Casey Malone responding in one of the discussions threads. Your comment does bring up a good point though: "Why did the development team not go with one of our suggestions?" This is constructive criticism; it identifies a key point where we could improve our process. In this case, we can improve our communication by providing additional information explaining why certain community ideas were unfortunately not chosen. This would show our team didn't simply ignore player suggestions, while at the same time explaining why we went a different route.
