HoundofShadow said: 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.

They explicitly stated this was to prevent cheating/manipulation. My guess is the they had to do this with the new feature coming out or it would have been a target for terrible manipulation. This is probably a question I should know better than to ask but...where did they explicitly state this?

This is probably a question I should know better than to ask but...where did they explicitly state this? I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding on this point. The R190 notes say:"Players can no longer avoid downloading the daily patch. This is important to avoid game-breaking bugs."This specifically refers to the patch that is pushed to your device once a day (not every day, since it is a manual process on the part of Demiurge). You don't (at least, I don't) have any choice in the matter on iOS as it is fully automatic, but apparently at least some Android people were able to play without doing it and had to manually accept the update.Anyway, I don't know exactly how this would impact the larger Patches which you need to manually accept and download, although the game has, for a while, stopped you from playing after about one day if you don't download the newest revision. (Again, for me, at least.)This change may be related to Targeted Heroes or may be mostly a separate issue that will help the developers maintain stability etc more easily.

bluewolf said: Maybe that there is no news that will be posted on this thread, and instead on a new one.Maybe we discovered the time limit for a thread to automatically be un-stickied (24 days).Maybe it's time to have a grilled cheese sandwich instead of futilely clicking on a very old thread hoping for news to appear.I have a couple more ideas, but I don't really have time to type out 50 more meanings right now.
