No straightforward dialogue with players?

I totally agree !

I am sure the designers, engineers, developers, etc., are good people trying to do a good thing. It just so happens some really poor decisions were made for the last few leagues (I say this lovingly, of course), which caused people to "loose their minds..." (said in my Joker voice).

I also say, "LET THE GAME TALK FOR YOU" and then come out to shake the hands of your player base.

It's like that chef that comes out after a great dinner to meet the guests who undoubtedly will praise him/her on a "JOB WELL DONE."

I remain cautiously hopeful GGG will do good by us on the next league.

If there were a party that could arbitrate between GGG and the community in the current state of appreciation/energy resulting in mutual understanding and happiness they can immediately prepare for their second job and bring perpetual peace in the middle east.




That, and I'm out of coffee.

Completely. And going out to get some is no longer possible, I already have the comfortable pants on.

Are you trying to tell me that you choose "comfortable pants" over coffee? Well, Sir, then you deserve your fate :P

Before I knew it was too late!

Brazilian dark blend? That's a melee/striker's choice for sure. I like my comfy meta cappuccino. Makes me wonder if there is correlation to what people play and what they drink...


@OP sorry for derailing your thread

I take my coffee black any day of the week (or every hour of the day, to be more precise). I may freak out with an ice coffee now and then, but as long as my coffee is hot; it's black (and of course, no sugar).

I second this. Sorry, Trixy (may I call you Trixy?)

GGG doesn't even listen to their own alpha testers or streamers.

GGG won't be having discussions with the sweaty nerds on these forums or Reddit.

I think that it is bad GGG is ignoring alpha testers/streamers but there are alternatives now.

Yep - LoK possibly the least tested league + core changes ever. Or ppl weren't listened to.

The game always does the talking at the end of the day. People just think they're the center of the universe these days because social media reinforces the feeling.

Why would they communicate with this community? They just announced a news post about upcoming topics and league info.. and people got all raged up again for nothing. People actually complained about it. I wouldn't want to talk to the community either.

At this point they literally can't win. They'll release some manifesto's. Then annoucement day/patch notes. Then just let the game do the talking.

But how do you think they got to this point.

Chris knew his ideas were going to be problems, he even said he would openly discuss the changes with the community before they made them at the last exilecon, then he just kinda didn't do that.
