About Roman's attitude, how long have you been watching the Warriors Den's for? I used to think he had an attitude problem as well but after watching a couple of WD's with him in them I started appreciating his no nonsense, give no fu/ks approach. In fact he's my favourite one of the devs now. Not everyone has to be the bubbly talkative salesman like Eric Pope, no offense.

In this corporatised gaming world of ours where everyone that is put on a public platform to represent the company is trying to act like your bestest buddy it's quite refreshing to see someone drop all the pretense and bulls/it and just say things as they are. If you saw Roman introducing the Marching Fire update or have seen him doing interviews for gaming news outlets you can see that he is clearly passionate about the game. He just won't act like he's your best friend out for a social chat in the Warriors Den's, which to be honest is a refreshing presence to have. Especially with such a childish and toxic community like this that really could use a big tall glass of grow the fu/k up from time to time.

My impression of Roman is that he is a "no nonsense get things done type of person". A great characteristic when you have a leading role like that, get to the point, scrap the bs, eyes on the prize.

If he looks un-enthusiastic on the stream, it's because it's filled with too much empty talk and I think it bores him (it bores me at least). How many times haven't he put the show back on track after it's sidetracked out of topic...?

@Vakris, I dunno man. I’ve seen a video off him pretending to fall asleep on someone else’s shoulder while another dev is talking about something. I would find that pretty rude if that was me talking, like it’s a smart @ss thing to do. I did see him introduce the Marching Fire update at E3, and he did look engaging then, but that’s because he had to be as he was announcing the biggest update the game has seen. Not saying he doesn’t care about the game, but at times it does feel like he’s just putting on a show.

You and tyrjo both make good points though, the no nonsense attitude can be appreciated at times, and yeah the “banter” that goes on can get tiresome in the show. Personally I’m not a fan of Pope, not to say he doesn’t do his job well but the man just rubs me the wrong way.

Well every one of us that has ever presented something to an audience has "put on a show". Very few people have a natural ease in front of an audience or a personality that is compatible with being a showman. It's an acquired skill that most of us have to work at and train up.

Tyrjo said it better than me and I echo his sentiments. Whatever you feel about Roman you can't deny that he's always the one who gets the conversation back on track to the business at hand. Rather than letting the guys go off on tangents about a sale in Cost Co or buying matresses. Roman is for sure a smart a$$ but that's part of his charm if you're the type of person that appreciates that. On the Warriors Den he doesn't seem to do it out of spite, seems more like he's goofing around with people who are his colleagues and friends. I have friends like that where we're just smart a$$es to each other so that's probably why I like Roman. But he is also the most professional person there when important info needs to be put across without any faff.

Sure, but please look at facts.

- Have feats been balanced lately ?
- Half Valk been buffed since ....... release date ? Despite being the lowest tier character since launch ...
- How long did it take to nerf down Peacekeeper ?

Dont fool yourself about Roman getting things done. There is a huge difference between getting things done and getting them done in a timely manner. I've been working in the video game industry and the only reason things take THIS LONG to get done is because they want to stretch how long the game will remain somewhat alive. At this point, the rework / new heroes are their very bad way of creating a dynamic meta where the top heroes changes. They are not balancing, they are nerfing / releasing new OP ****.

Perhaps you could do things better? You can always submit your CV and job application and see if they hire you for such a position based on your previous experience.

It's one thing to sit on the sidelines and theory craft about someone doing a job. It's another thing entirely to be the one responsible for doing said job.

Hey Tundra. How goes it man? You planning on getting back into FH when Marching Fire launches?

Just tryin' to make it through the summer, us Scandinavians weren't built for this sort of heat.

Almost certainly not. All the things that made me leave in the first place haven't been addressed in the slightest, and from what information I can gleam, they've only gotten worse. So no grand return for me at the moment, I'm still way into Sea of Thieves.

[CandleInTheDark]

Hey Tundra. Yeah you have to do what you enjoy, still good to see you here.

I very much agree, there have been times their first five minutes feels like two or three of the devs there could have had that conversation away from the camera and it has reached five minutes in and they haven't said anything on the game yet, then they will say oh crud we're running long, people have lunch and meetings. So I appreciate anyone who gets it back on track because while Eric is a great community guy on reddit and does a great (sometimes thankless from what I can see) job overall, outside of the community corner (which I kind of wish the time for went to Q&A or they mixed the two like last week's more often) it is frustrating when sometimes the game news type stuff feels rushed. Maybe if they hadn't spent five minutes talking about trips and costco...

[Knight_Raime]

tbh if I were to have any complaint about the devs/den in general it's that they kinda don't do q&a as much as they used to. As I understood the point of the den was to talk about what's up with the game and talk to the community in general in an open and relaxed sort of format. To make the communication between the players and the devs feel frequent and good. But for the past few months it kinda just feels like they show up to talk about something random, do a community corner, and mention weekly content. Only really changing this when new big content/patches are coming.

I'm thankful for what they do and all. But we're getting to the end of the stretch here imo when it comes to the final polish to make this game feel complete. And there are a lot of issues they're either not talking about at all. Or they have little to say on it. It doesn't help that some of their reworks have been a bit questionable and they basically refuse to rework dlc heros.

I have been, for another company than Ubisoft. But by now, I left the whole video game industry and moved on to something else making me happier and much more wealthy. I'm now a CPA with self thought classes from my home.

Balancing isn't hard. What I used to do for someone else than Ubisoft was doing iteration. Every month we released a balance patch and little by little, we got those % win/loss number closer together. Releasing balance patch every 6 months isn't balancing.
