It sounds like they're gearing up to do a formal Q&A on balance, so they want to make sure to get the best feedback possible.
We look everywhere for feedback, including Reddit, the forums, social media, Youtube videos, etc. I look at r/competitiveforhonor and I look at Facebook posts from people who clearly just bought the game for the first time.
The thing is we never receive any feedback on that. For most users here it must feel that all the input that has been given is not being heard. There are are so many good ideas already here on the forum for reworks or improvemenst that seem to be really profounded. Yet after 2 years it feels that nothing of these works have been considered. The forum's submissions and contributions are never mentioned on the Warrior's Den nor does Eric Pope, as Tyrjo states ever looks at this forum personally at all and has yet the nerves to ask for balance/rework specifics? How is that even possible if you guys for instance sent our suggestions on a regular basis?
You get that there might be a lot of people here that feel smacked at their head hearing stuff like that. So what is it you guys want us to do . There is plenty of people who would like to involve themselves and help you, but with the way of (lack of) communication between player base and "the team" things are downright bount to lead to frustration as the community provides constantly ideas and suggestions but "the team" just fails to respond and tell what they are up to, what ideas from the community they are checking out, what problems they are engaged in and try to solve?
You don't put out any incentives for your eager submitters at all. The devs oftentimes ask for feedback (btw you guys are also as vague as you can be with your demands for feedback. How about going there into specifics as well?) but only act on it in best cases halfheartedly or and often not at all. In my eyes that is how you mistread your community.
Also, there have been changes to the OOS recovery system tested over 1 year ago in one of our PTS (2 I think was it) and up to this day they have not implemented those changes although they had plenty of (even positive) feedback on it. They never mentioned why they failed to do so. It was also communicated after the last public test stamina changes would be coming soon. We are now 1 month into marching fire. Which is like 2 months since the last announcement on that. Why are they so unable to communicate why this is not implemented yet?
This is representative for so many other cases as well.
buttom line is: We want better communication, insights and feedback. Somewhat that shows us some appreciation for the time we put into this. It feels like we are doing their job over and over again and at this point I am absolutely not sure how those submission of your forum team UbiInsulin are treated. It seems like there's no one really looking at this stuff to consider it at all. Do you guys ever receive any feedback from the dev team themselves?
