It doesn't feel like devs ever read these forums

Everyone wants better communication and they admitted that they need to improve. There are some valid points here about what they can say, and potential consequences. We can be hopeful for a change.

My random idea: Have an indicator on the thread, that it has been read by a Dev. Most just want to feel heard.

even when selective posters were graced with personal responses from the blues, the type of… ‘feedback’ they’d want to offer pretty much stayed in the same, hm, cadence as you’d see with the OP.

Op’s quirks are more of their proclivities than the consequence of ¬blue

They’re undergoing a lot of internal changes and pressure. I wouldn’t be surprised if people are going to be moved around from the HotS team or if the game is about to be completely canceled.

There’s a new CFO and nobody on that board, least of all him, cares about your experience with HotS if it’s not making them ludicrous amounts of $$$, which it probably isn’t. If their new Diablo mobile game ends up being the cash cow they want it to be, there’s a chance HotS is done for. Wouldn’t even be surprised if Blizzard as a whole saw entire repurposing.

So, about your concern that devs aren’t currently spamming the board with blue posts, it’s probably not on their priorities right now. If things settle down I’m sure we’ll have more input. If not, it’s gonna stay that way for maybe a year and then it’s goodbye.

I’d like to read what you’re talking about. I’m not asking you to prove that it exists, just since you know of it, perhaps you can link it or point me to it, if you could please?

They read Reddit quicker than the old forums. Archiving and making all the silly little rules cut a lot of activity. Most old posters went away after THE announcement. Hell Neo HailFail rules this forum.

I’m sure you want to be heard about Moira.

They do read, a lot ,you complain because it does not fit your agenda.

Sure, but if people start whining because they don’t get personal dev responses to their (vapid) threads, that’s not a problem with lack of (individual) feedback. It just means some people have unrealistic expectations.

Devs have repeatedly confirmed they read threads. There’s no need for them to also spam meaningless ‘we read this’ posts everywhere, especially since posters are already discouraged from making such empty posts.

reading and responding are two different things. you can read a thread without typing anything.
