theomen said: @Houndofshadow how do you know he 'roughly' hinted if you haven't read it? Here it is:Ice: No word on feeders. Not saying there are/are not, but this is only week one of the Anniversary stuff.User: FEEDERS CONFIRMED!!!!User 2: I think IceIX said "all remaining five stars get feeders in Week 2 of the anniversary"Ice: Yeah. That. Which I didn't say. But I guess I did?You can interpret this however you want. To me what matters is that people have been asking for feeders for months, the devs knew we wanted them for the anniversary and then they didn't even bother to tell us we weren't getting them.
HoundofShadow said: I'm curious, how do you determine whether something will or will not happen if you do not have conclusive evidence at that point of time? IceIX couldn't at that point of time.The dev answered that there won't be any on Friday and the anniversary ends on next Monday. They gave a conclusive answer before the anniversary ends.The players assumed that there would be a feeder and self-hyped it.
ursopro said: I just would ask to anyone posting Discord conversations to do it in fully so people can understand the context (which will still won't make sense most of the time if you weren't there).For that particular Ice quote, he wasn't teasing nor confirming/denying anything, we were just joking around with him after he posted the anniversary 1st week schedule and there wasn't any announcements about potential feeders.
theomen said: Fair enough Ursopro. I was just trying to illustrate that the devs knew we wanted feeders for the anniversary.

No problem, it really is all the same in the other side of the coin, like some devs apologists are saying that maybe Anthony was jesting around with the no obvious feeder response, he was not.I asked him a serious question and I want to believe he gave me a serious answer.
Sm0keyJ0e said: Many things to complain about right now, but getting bent over them not saying what they will do in the future seems silly. We have also asked for untimed PVE events for years, long before 5* feeders were even a thing... why not start a thread asking why they haven't told us that they're not going to fix them?
theomen said: It seems like he did. What did you make of his answer? It didn't make much sense to me.

Because they didn’t tell us we’d get untimed PVE events during special celebrations only and then not give us an untimed event during anniversary. If they did, then threads about “why weren’t we informed there would be no untimed event!?” would be warranted (though ironically we did get one with “Best in Class”). Asking for developers to communicate what they won’t do, after commenting on what they would (and don’t deliver) is completely justified imo.

Expecting any new and/or better communication from these guys is hope better spent elsewhere. Red from Shawshank said it best: "Hope is a dangerous thing. Drive a man insane."I'll have to concede I missed where they explained their 5* feeders rationale. Can you please link me the official quote from the forum where they said 5* feeders would be coming with special events? I most certainly missed that.

I’m fairly sure that was addressed on the podcast interview.

I thought the forums were "official" and everything else, like Discord convos, were just devs being devs and chatting about the game or doughnuts or whatever.
