classic
I want to be optimistic about it, I really want to, BUT
Whether or not they talk to players (seems to me at least) is less relevant than devs themselves being actually aware of the nature and reasons of the mistakes theyâve made so far
The event itself sounds like a âclosed circleâ kind of thing but I think I had once their Discord PM-ed to me (some time ago, once, will have to check that)
But donât have Discord account myself tbh 
They were so embarrassed that they didnât know answers about seasonal stuff they worked on, so they dont wanna show their faces anymore ?
Anything is better than complete silence, but Iâm waiting for something concrete before I get excited.
Honestly, I donât even know where to start. Is it really that hard to spare, what, two or three hours every three months to actually talk to your own audience? And thatâs not even mentioning the little detail that the person in charge of the whole franchise just⌠left. But hey, everythingâs fine, right? Business as usual. Fantastic job, guys lol
After listening to them ooh and aah and squeeeee about how exciting Escalating Dungeons were going to be ⌠then to boot up the game and figure out that, yeah, itâs literally just three dungeons in a row with no real gameplay changes ⌠Iâll pass on the livestreams.
Itâs absolutely time for these livestreams to be put to pasture. Iâll take 15 minutes of Adam green screened behind the resolute desk, dropping detail on what did and didnât work last season and whatâs going to change for next season, ending with âmore details are in the patch notesâ.
Frankly, theyâve lost the right to talk at us for 90 minutes. they havenât earned it.
Take your most effective communicator, point a camera at him, let him talk for 15 minutes, and get us back to our lives.
Honestly I donât want them to do campfires any more. Theyâre unbearable to watch and it just becomes a waste of time. Iâm fine just reading patch notes. Iâd rather they put their efforts toward improving the game.
Iâve no issues with this, just keep us in the loop of whatâs going on. Now they did mention that they wonât be doing it for the PTR, but will be continuing to do live streams later. Personally doesnât bother me as long as we get the information in some format.
Does this mean they will no longer answer any questions from Iggi?
All this attempt to hype up the livestream revamp tells me they think the livestreams are more important/effective than they are. Admittedly, i watch them⌠but i wouldnât miss them if they stopped happening⌠and i donât expect the revamp to yield anything impressive.
Iâd be more impressed if they stopped doing livestreams and got more involved/present in the forums.
They havenât answered my questions for a while. 
Not directly anyway. Theyâve answered ones Iâve asked but just happened to be by other people, and Iâm all for that. As long as the question gets answered.
they should just hire a talented ventriloquist
use a random class talking to bear puppet:
Hi I am [Insert name here], thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Theyâre asking for feedback for changes theyâve recently done. Thatâs like the communication going other way round 
This isnât anything new though. Theyâve always asked for feedback for any changes theyâve made regardless of what those changes were.
That to me just says âkeep doing what youâve been doingâ which to the community means feedback, complaints, and praise.
That would be like leading the sheep to the slaughter. The way people act on this forum they would never come back.
Rod left/firedâŚAnd now this little âcoincidence.â Oh yes, Iâm sure itâs a wonderful omen for the loyal hordes of D4 fans. (All three of them. But hey, even D3 managed to collect a handful, so I guess anythingâs possible.)
I wouldnât necessarily want this, but I would prefer more updates on a consistent monthly basis. Instead of just radio silence for the majority of the season after it launches. They donât have to come to the forums, except to post a new sticky or open topic in my opinion.
I mean I wish this was a thing possible, but yes all kinds of pitchforks will unravel
as long as its better than what the OW team did with their last videoâŚcause that wasâŚyikes
