    It's national Harvey Wallbanger day, everyone is passed out under their desks.

    I didn't know people will be happy even if the dev pop in and explicitly say there isn't any update. This must be something new. By not saying anything, it's as good as saying there isn't any update. 

    I'm sure they said before if they have something conclusive, they will let us know. 

    And we know most of you are happiest with more detail and dislike when something you're expecting changes, so we typically talk about new things when we're certain of the details. 
    It's challenging to do satisfying stand-alone Q&A - so many of the things that people naturally want to know are "when is X coming" or "how will Y change in the future", and those aren't questions that can really be honestly answered until there's an announcement to make. Maybe the solution there is to have that sort of interaction around announcements, and then there will be a bunch of questions about whatever change we're talking about that have a more interesting answer than "we're looking into it".

    Maybe the solution for more communication is that those group of players learn to behave rationally instead of going into rage modes when things don't happen the way they envisioned it.

    I believe most of us are adults here. No one like to have their profession insulted, spit on, have every single word they wrote analysed and used it against them in the future, have their explanations dismissed as excuses etc. Be honest. If you know a group of people who love to do this kind of things to you, what's the possibility that you would want to interact with them frequently unless it's necessary?

    I don't think it's a coincident that they prefer to interact in discord rather than in here. I think the solution is obvious.

    Ok, so if we want to talk about proper grammar usage and grilled cheese sandwiches, we come to the official forum for the game...but if we want the "real scoop," go to Discord.


    But only if the "real scoop" you're looking for is about pie, right?

    If you mention cake then Brigby will appear.

    And here I was thinking the cake was a lie...

    EDIT:  I did have a thought which might help predict the launch.  The R190 patch was a week later than expected.  If you look forward 2 weeks from it's release (11/4) (the usual patch schedule) that falls on 11/18 which was the date that we saw mentioned once as the earliest possible date for Targeted Heroes.

    -------

    I wish the forum had better updates anywhere, not just here.....

    The JJ costume debuted days ago and the Halloween thread didn't get updated.  I'm not sure I've seen any official mention of the Major Resupply on the forum.

    The Sneak Peek is apparently on a schedule of "publish a lot all at once, then we can leave it alone for a week or so".  New Crash today, new DDQ cycle, no update.

    On the other hand they do make the character blog posts.

    With all due respect Mr. Wolf, you obviously just don’t understand how the industry works.

    #LowerYourExpectations

    (In all seriousness, thanks for the update- or theory of a possible update.  Sad we are left to piece all this together like some complex Da Vinci Code, but... here we are).

    I've been giving some thought to the miscommunication or delayed information in the forums. What if they moved ppl to other projects bc mpq seems to be doing well on it's own. That still doesnt justify the lack of communication given to the players. It's not that were being rude etc. Theyve kept up up with forums for forever and to suddenly just stop? But hopefully we are reaching the end of this rough patch forever everyone for the dev and the players and we start of with the right step forward to a brighter future.

    This level of silence had me going back through the Adventure Time forum looking for signs of the end times. I wasn’t able to draw too many conclusions from it, but it was interesting nonetheless.

    I was looking around at the Careers section for D3Go and found this listing:

    Digital Marketing Manager

    https://d3go.com/careers/digital-marketing-manager-job-posting/

    I'm not sure that job would involve direct player communication via the forum - but it well might.  At minimum. I would think that person would take on duties that might free up time for other staff to be able to focus more on the player communication efforts (forum etc).

    Best of luck in the search!

    Somebody here apply for that job so we can at least get the November sneak peek thread on the general board.

    Is it really that bad that it's under news and announcements? We have the sneak peek it's just not also stickied in its usual spot.

    Yes.

    Also, it needs the update. I live my life around mpq, so I need to know what's coming so that I can properly plan my life around mpq.

    Yes. I like to jump on and scan the board to see if there was anything new posted like an update to a new feature *coughs* or updates to see what events are coming next. I don't want to jump around to multiple boards especially when it's normal for the monthly thread to be here anyway.

    Not to mention that it no longer shows the timestamp for the most recent post in each forum on the main page, so it's significantly harder to find what's been updated if it's not in the main board.

    Yeah, that's a huge annoyance. Almost feel like I discovered buried treasure when I go into that thread and see that it got an update.

    Well the season is officially over.  What are the Vegas odds that we will get an update on this feature this week?
