    You make it sound like the only thing we did in the 1 year is create the chat response functionality. We have clear priorities when we develop, and sometimes those won't align with what you might personally like to see in the game.

    Please kindly don't take this the wrong way but it doesn't appear to me that the issue is that some of your priorities aren't aligned with that of the community.

    It appears to me that a significant portion of your priorities aren't aligned with that of the community and that is the issue. Ofc I can't say the same about any upcoming updates you have planned since you don't want to be transparent about what exactly you guys are working on.

    The problem here is that the community is not aligned on what we should make. A majority want "guild wars", but that concept means different things for everyone, and having a 5v5 organized mode is currently not feasible because of how the system works. There is no priority list that will please everyone, so hence while we listen to the community, we have to make the list something that we feel are the most important things ourselves.

    Transparency is all well and good, and we try to be as transparent as possible but it comes back to the fact that if i tell you "guild wars is coming in 2 weeks!", and we have a hiccup that is either out of our control or in our control, but would delay it or in the worst case we would need to scrap the idea altogether, you can imagine the community outrage.

    We post update notes whenever we have implemented and locked down exactly what we want to do for an update, to avoid giving false promises and deadlines.

    How about a priority list that tries to please a majority of the reasonable players?. Not asking for guild wars or 5v5 fleet ups which are hard to implement. How about a practice mode? Just people checking out how certain weapons items work?. Maybe a mode where people get matched without any infamy based match ups but the result does not affect our infamy rating at all win or lose? (Like dota).

    Would it atleast be in both our best interests to tell us what you guys are trying to work on WITHOUT making ANY promises AND deadlines?.

    How do you judge which players are reasonable? Also, just because a majority think something doesn't mean it's right, that goes for a lot of things in life as well.

    We've teased what we're working on a little, but in short: Giving guilds some meaning and a lot of misc things.

    It's possible, but it's a huge task and something that's not feasible yet.

    it doesn't have to be perfect zeus, put a disclaimer that there may be possible bugs or whatever... you guys have to give it a shot soon... (guild wars)... players are getting restless... don't wanna see my BB friends quit out of frustration/boredom/disappointment

    It does have to be perfect. We will never knowingly implement a feature that might have bugs or might not be ideal. If our idea of "perfect" does not hold true, then we are able to re-iterate, that's the beauty of live development.

    Guild wars will never be feasible in this game.

    For guild vs guild to happen they need equal number of players from all guilds to be online at the same time.

    Imagine I'm from a japanese and you are from America, there's a guild war tournament that takes place and if it's held at a time which is prime time for your timezone then the Japanese guilds can't participate.

    No matter when a guild war match is being held, it will be unfair for a majority of the guild in the game at all and any time since this is a global game and any time will be an unfavourable time for many timezones to game.

    Agree with you on this, and i think that's what this thread is for... players wanna know what's in pipeline, a rough timetable of upcoming updates, upgrades, balancing or whatever is happening... coz right now, nothing is happening

    On the contrary, everything is happening. Why we can't disclose what or when you will see the fruit of our labor, you can read about above.

    it doesn't have to be live 5v5... it can be like a race to whatever (stars, kills, wins, etc.), and not all 25 members are required to participate...

    If that's all we need to make the game more interesting then why not just introduce the honor system, guild quests and stuff.

    Oh No, don't get us wrong, I want the same thing that he wants. I'm merely downgrading my own wishes to make it easier for the devs to implement new content since most of what we want is not feasible for you guys to implement.

    I'm still down that you won't implement 5 fleet option though, that's just sad. This game would be 10 times more fun of we had that.
