"What we're working on"
" Its because S.Africa server is now up, guess why so many online. | |
" I recall you telling me a few weeks ago that you rarely make threads, so I assume when you do, shit got real :) I'm inclined to agree that their communication for this league has been poor, both before the league start and after. I would even take a message saying we hear the need for more work on Crucible, but we're comfortable with where it is. That would at least be something. I'm actually okay with Crucible as is because I'm not trying to recombine some impossible tree. My few attempts at combining trees have ended with laughably bad results. I can see if someone was more engaged with the mechanic, it would be very frustrating. | |
" And when would you reckon the communication has been good? Just compared to their own previous standard? I'd argue it's been extremely poor, for around 6 leagues (post 3.15). The difference is this particular legaue it isn't "poor", its non-existent. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

" Well, an example of better communication is the core of this thread: the "What We're Working On" announcement that was very predictable every league. So by that measure alone, prior communications were better than this league. Last edited by Nubatron on Apr 21, 2023, 12:24:08 PM

" Well I guess maybe we need a better definition of what "poor" would be? If they did post a "What they are working on", and the content was lack luster or out of touch, Id still maintain that qualifies as "poor" Simply making a post, for me, doesn't mean thats "good" communication. Content & context matters imo. Edit: conceding the entire point of the OP though, they haven't even done that this legaue "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln Last edited by DarthSki44 on Apr 21, 2023, 12:32:07 PM

"highest peak" bla bla bla all ego and self pathing bs..
yet the game is on the worst state probably worse than LoK at this point lets not forget how some days ago they said this: " Literally telling you "oh hey it's your fault, your build is just not great or you're just not playing the game the way we want.. sorry nothing has changed here" Most importantly 1 month ago this was said: " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The year is 2023 the game is 10 years old almost and their code when over writing things still fuck up with their game.. or it's troll god made real from these dev's or they just don't know the real meaning of risk vs reward in their own game. "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. Retired since crucible.(Not a free tester anymore for a multi billion dollar company). | |
" I'm yet to see anyone above lv90 that got to red maps and killed uber bosses actually say that. Crucible is close to/no difference from playing standard 90% of the time, and that's just horrid. Ruthless should be [Removed by Support].

" My standard for communication from a developer is much lower than the community at large. I think they should tell us what changes happened or to come and acknowledge work against obvious issues -- an example being the trade site being a mess the last few weeks. On the other hand, the community went crazy about Archnemesis swearing it was much worse while I experienced it as the same as last league; and I'm on the record in one thread saying just that before the announcement that nothing changed. GGG did respond to that outcry by checking and responding. That's a level of communication that I'm not sure was absolutely necessary, but it helped. For me personally, I'm only really upset when they mislead or frame things in a way that might as well be a lie. An example being this league not being a nerf-fest and choosing the best 6 for each mastery. I can't say that those are lies, or even intentionally misleading. But I'm not sure the alternative is better, which is that they actually believed that. I don't mind changes; even harsh changes. Just be upfront about it and take the blowback. That's the type of communication I expect -- not so much responding or even discussing things in response to the community's whims. Last edited by Nubatron on Apr 21, 2023, 1:30:03 PM

" Yeah, you know me, I'm probably a little bit more level headed to go all out whining about something. Believe it or not, I'm liking this mechanic better than Kalandra or Sanctum. But at least Sanctum felt... Well designed. Crucible seems... Lacking. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

Pre game launch balance manifesto gone.
Post game launch "What we're working on" gone. This is GGG's balance. Pour one out for my Syndicate homies.
Complex PoE mechanics are getting Diablofied. GGG: What's better than stable income? Random income of course. |
