Understandable, but do you really feel that those type of statements are what the community wants to read? I mean, how does what you said provide any sort of tangible evidence that the issues are actually being addressed? I don't know. I should pull myself back a bit, but it becomes more difficult to do so the more I think about how much I wish for this game to be highly successful and its current condition & direction.
Regardless of it being what the Community "wants" to read - it is the truth and worth reiterating where I feel it is merited. It is better than silence and failing to acknowledge the issues we see affecting our players would be even worse. I'm not here trying to provide false hope, only that we're taking steps, even if they are small, in trying to push in the right direction. Things have been changing drastically behind the scenes here and in time I look forward to sharing more.
Why is it so sekrit sauce?
Why not map out actual progress on a roadmap for commentary instead of hiding in the bunker and unleashing it all of a sudden with zero consultation to find your changes, like so many others, are flawed or just generally don't actually address the problem.
Secret = stupid.
One day you guys will learn to do the communicationz. |

Also a blog actually introducing rouge to our community, where he hopes to push the game etc.
He is a big player and we want to actually have formal full blown introduction.
Yes, of course! But I hope you understand that much of it will have to wait until post-Fanfest. :)
Actually no, we don't understand. Hiding until Fan-Fest is just dev-neckbeardery.
You don't release anything for fear of overhyping/underdelivering/rumour-mongering but the solution is worse than the problem.
Silence = incompetence.
Measured communication = middle ground = good. |

To think that any company, gaming or otherwise, would release anything of substance prior to their biggest event and platform is a misguided conception. Silence =/ incompetence, that simply isn't true. I will openly admit that the NPE isn't where we want it to be and that we don't want to be driving new players away from the game. But, I will also quickly rise to defend the talents of those around me where I feel necessary. I see so much experience and "competence" in this studio, and I fully believe they are capable of delivering on this game's vision.
This is manifestly untrue even within your own company, sure there's some marketing-hoarding prior to fanfest style events but in general across the course of the year look at the difference between just EVE and Dust alone in terms of comms.
Go look at how some other companies like SOE itself and ArenaNet handle comms about upcoming changes if you need some pointers.
You've communicated properly on some issues sporadically in the past, why can't you do it consistently? |
