The lack of response from Developers.

While we all enjoy playing the game, recent changes have increased the lvl of frustration amongst players.

Many are complaining about matchmaking, battle rewards, constant events, etc...

This is further compounded by the lack of response by the developers to concerns. There are numerous threads that I have read that point out obvious issues and some great answers and remedies offered by the playing community.

One thing that stands out is the LACK OF RESPONSE from the developers. They totally ignore most of the issues which at times is even more frustrating that the original issue.

I do realize that it is a time consuming process to respond to every thread, but the fact is that this forum was created, in part, to allow dialogue between developers and players. The fact that most of the threads receive no input from development team is a shame. It's like someone is not doing their job?

It's time for the developers to address the issues that are presented here and stop ignoring them. Show a little common courtesy and a little respect for those of us who play your game and feed you families.

 

So what is the purpose of the forum? Just a place to blow off steam?

This is where I have chosen to post.

Maybe the Developers should take a look here.......and maybe even respond.

No disrespect to you, but you are not helping with your suggestion. Your response is what we called, in my customer service days, Send the fool further.

Thanks, but no thanks.

 

It says I'm not authorized to post in there. What good is that shit? How do you get authorized to post

 

You have to submit you questions via bot by using the suffics !suggest

 

Communication through the forums is very difficult. The same ideas/issue pop up all over the place in different threads and with the limited staff of the devolpement team I can see how it is very difficult for them to sort through everything.

I believe the creation of MVPs was intended to "filter" this information to the developers so they can get streamlined information without all the background noise.

 

MVPs are supposed to do the moderation (look at the reports, move, lock, and moderate threads, etc) so the devs can look at the suggestions and work on other things.

 

Proof again that the suggestion was to " Send the fool further "

I am not about to go jumping thru hoops to get a response. Bots and suffices.....yes bye....I suppose.

As I said this is where I have chosen to post.

 

Communication is not difficult. You have communicated as have others.

The issue is not communication, but lack or response from developers.

A simple look or search will show new threads and posts.

Funny how they can respond on Discord and not here.

 

They just don't care what players want or like it's only a good idea if they thought of it or it makes them money. If they don't like it then that's the way they are going to design the game because they don't care what the players want

 

Look man, if you took offense to my comment, I'm sorry, but, Remember I did preface it by saying no disrespect to you and was not trying to be rude. And I'm not trying to bash mods or anyone else. Believe me if I was, you would know it. The wording would be quite a bit different.

I sincerely mean that as I find you one of the most helpful posters here and appreciate your input.

Maybe your definition of send the fool is slightly different than mine.

I am not doubting that I may get answers on Discord, but if this is the forum, created by the team for discussing the game we should get answers here and that's the point. You know as well as I do that there are threads here that were discussing things such as game changes or problems that never received any acknowledgment from dev team. Not because they didn't see it.

As for discord and using bots and suffices....thanx but no. I have installed it and looked around, but I find it to be extremely frustrating and not something I plan to use.

But...here's an thought.

If something is asked and answered on Discord, why not just create a thread and c/p it.

 

Zues directly responds to your suggestion if it gets 35 votes. The forum is more of a question and answer place with other players. There's plenty of strategy here too.

I suggested Epekka's Backstab event idea and Zues said it was an good idea and he'll talk to the team. Even if it doesn't get considered and implimented, I still know that the Devs are listening to the idea and have their are reasons why they won't/can't do it.

I believe that there's a much higher chance of the Devs seeing a post with 35 like-minded people than a MVP/Dev looking at suggestions on the forum.

 

Okay, I caved and went to Discord to ask a question.

The Ask Dev is showing as read only?

What am I missing?

Am I supposed to ask in bot commands ?

 

I figured it out.

Ask n bot commands.

 

No, don't ask in bot commands. Technically you can use !suggest in any chat but putting it all in 1 chat cleans it up. This is the process:

1.
Go to the suggestions chat and using !suggest before anything you type will transfer it to the Ask The Devs chat.
2. The most important suggestions are selected. This is done by gaining 35 upvotes and not getting more than 15 downvotes.
3. Once you gain 35 upvotes, it moves to the Ask the Devs- Responses page and Zues replies to it personally. He will give you a detailed reply.
4. Hopefully make battle bay better.

You probaly already know this but just in case you haven't figured it out yet.

 

Yea, well, it worked, but next time I will go to suggestions chat.

Discord is new to me so maybe a how to guide would have helped. I wasn't able to find one.

Oh and my suggestion was about Changes to GUI to flag for completed guild quests. I'd appreciate a vote.

 

Sure.

 

I feel the pain of not having questions answered or friends helped. I am not sure what the answer is, but I do feel as our issue has just been kicked down the road. It is so frustrating and am about ready to give up completely.
