I’m going to reply one more time. You keep saying you have “amazing” ideas, that the “community and Devs are stupid” and then you expect meaningful engagement with the community and Devs you express nothing but contempt for.
I’ll put that aside. To be blunt, none of this would matter so much if your ideas were truly as innovative or as good as you claim they are. To be honest with you, none of them are new ideas that haven’t already proposed or discussed here multiple times. You argue from a place of unearned arrogance, which makes any kind of genuine discussion with you almost impossible.
Despite your claim you see potential in HOTS and you’re looking forward, you spend far more time pointing fingers at the mistakes of the past. You blame a Dev team that aren’t even involved with HOTS now. You blame a community in a disproportionate way, as if they not only have a direct influence in HOTS development, but an extensive one. If the community had influence, we would have a terrible surrender button people keep asking for.
Looking at the past will be of little help now, as the majority of the people involved with the development of the game have moved on. HOTS is also not well funded or has a large Dev team to make grand changes. It’s a sad fact, but HOTS is now considered a Blizzard Classic, alongside Diablo 2.
You can’t seem to accept, temper or adapt your ideas to where HOTS is now. You even cite the almost year old Climate Anomaly as an example the game hasn’t been abandoned, even though the Devs stated in an AMA there will be no more anomalies. Many of your suggestions and ideas (aside from already being suggested and debated) are very unlikely to be implemented due to the current resources and manpower allocated to HOTS. To be clear, the game hasn’t been abandoned, but it’s in “maintenance mode” and is considered a Blizzard classic along side games that are 20 years old. This should be always kept in mind when suggesting changes, they need to be realistic in the current environment for them to be adopted.
Again, I must stress to you and I don’t want to, that none of the ideas you have proposed in your OP haven’t already been suggested and discussed here and on the old forums multiple times. You may feel you are suggesting radical and innovative ideas, but I’m sorry they aren’t. If you don’t believe me, do a forum search of your own.
I would never suggest that just because something isn’t a new idea it shouldn’t be discussed, it should, that’s what these forums are for. The trouble comes with arrogantly stating “my ideas are the best, unique and amazing and you’re all a bunch of Blizz drones and the devs suck”, this is where your unearned arrogance diverts attention away from your ideas and that attention then falls instead to your demeanor.
I wish you well, I have tried to engage with you here in this thread as many of the ideas you have proposed I have also suggested myself over the years. I think you will find most people here share your passion for HOTS, but many of us are pragmatic enough to understand that not all these concepts can be introduced due to the current state and support of HOTS.
Most of us who have been here since launch either on the old forums, Reddit or here know this. It seems Jean simply won’t accept it and inhabits a different reality.
