    A minor update that would be awesome is if guild members could see who in their guild is on or not. (or at least guild leaders)
    Since they already track that with the green/red dots, shouldnt be that hard....
    I know they are working on guilds so that is reassuring

    Aye

    What's the use, the devs aren't even talking to us about what we need or want and the ones who are directly in touch with us wouldn't bother responding.

    Hiding own infamy is not high on any priority list, and it might be trickier to implement than you'd think, same with re-arrangement of items.

    Also i find it funny that every thread has a "devs dont talk to us" reply, when most non-shitpost threads have a dev reply..

    Oh I'm sorry, I was under the impression that you guys are forum administrators, not actual developers.

    If you don't mind me asking, WHAT exactly IS on your priority list? Aside from nerfing items, ships and buffing other items?. Most people feel the way they do now cause you guys don't say anything to us. I get it that the features we want would most probably not be in the list at all.

    I just wish to know if you guys are working on atleast the things we NEED. If there's a new full supporter ship, or a new map, game mode, practice mode where you can just shoot new weapons at dummies to practice. Something.

    At the very least, merely mentioning it would be very nice.

    The Rovio devs communicate via the forums a lot and it's very helpful. Props for that!

    Btw people, if you want to read what the devs have to say, put them on follow here in the forums. Then, when you go to your news feed, all devs posts will show up :)

    If we keep annoying them every day, they'll probably add only mk8 ships which most of us won't be getting anyway :D

    Since I've started playing speeder I notice ships within striking range constantly dropping off radar and disappearing and reappearing as I wind around obstacles and corners, super annoying

    I follow Zeus, Miika and Ben something something

    They respond to all relevant complaints and enquiries but as far as I have seen, yet to take any initiative to communicate with the players on their own, Not a single word enquiring about what we want or need, our problems. Even in their responses, everytime the community asks for something they repeat the same typical responses that it isn't on their to do list, not their priority right now. And yet we never see any new content, same old same old, nothing new.

    I get it that it's kinda a free to play game, that most of us are freeloaders and expecting them to treat us like we are paying customers is unfair to them. But in our defense, our feedback aims to make their game better, get more people to play it and make them more money. Not to run the game into the ground.

    All I saw was an announcement being made once in 1-2 months by admins when they are making an update and when they fix glitches.

    Perhaps I'm not following the right admins for those 3 are the only ones I know of.

    I think it's better telling you that something is not in our scope or plans, than keeping silent or even worse, giving you false promises. A lot of people have had their summer holidays so that's why the coming update has taken longer than previous ones, but hopefully we will be able to get it out soon enough when we manage to finish and polish the features we want to bring.

    Bro you and I probably have OCD. I do agree with what you say here. But I think you probably don't scrap - I do. So I solved the problem myself.

    Make a "smart aim" option which automatically begins at your closest unfriendly when cycling through targets.

    Only the chat button gets in my way sometimes. I'd like to be able to move it to the top where I'll only hit it on purpose, instead of spamming "Yes!" while I'm shot to death trying to fumble for my tesla shield.

    Or be able to make it smaller, and a way to add team mates names before commands

    So I click on the command corner, then a team mates name then the command so it would say "ShadyWeasel together!"

    Facepalm.

    I meamt the Arrangement of items in the battle screen. Who fudging cares about how items are arranged in the fudging inventory????? Do you think I'm crazy?.

    Do you have any idea how hard it is to reach for a common cannon which I have to shoot once every 5 seconds at the top of the screen with my tiny thumbs?

    I want to place the cannon at the bottom near the trigger and keep the nitros, tesla bolts and other items which I'll use once in 10 seconds at the top.

    But the game won't let me cause it doesn't believe I should be allowed to choose which items should be placed where. The game wants to keep the weapons above the yellow items.

    Now you tell me whether I should be allowed to choose where my items should be or not.

    tbh I use shooter, fixer and speeder and the setup works for me. As fixer I'm using repair most often, as speeder I'm hitting OB and nitro most often. But yeah you should be able to optimize where everything goes

    A responsible answer but me and the community wouldn't feel bad about the lack of info regarding what's happening with the devs if we had new content now and then.

    It's been 3 months since I've joined and I've seen 2 updates. I'm okay with the number, can't talk for the whole community ofc.

    The real issue is not the lack of updates or the lack of information but the lack of new content in the updates. And I'm not talking about this summer vacation.

    I'm told that it took the devs 1 year to give the chat response features. If this is the rate at which we will receive new content and most of the updates are merely fixing glitches and stuff, you should understand why the community is frustrated.

    It is the lack of new content which makes the community yearn for info and updates, not the other way around.

    I suppose generating new content in a game like bb with a mere team of 12 is no joke I suppose but please understand why we're frustrated

    OH wow

    I completely misunderstood you. But I agree with what you say. I wish we could do that.
