in the spirit of Christmas and to make up for the constant nay-saying about the game and its state of development, I just want to say thank you for the effort you put into the latest patch.
Regarding everything that was going on this year, sureley it was no easy task to get things done and I appreciate the effort you put up. One may see Blizzard and its problems as critically as one likes, still the individual that puts in effort to keep things going should be seen as a benefit to the community.
I don’t care if everything is not perfectly balanced or some ppl don’t like the looks of the new assets.
I think the Classic skins are fine and since I started playing again some weeks ago after playing for 4 years until 2020, I improved a lot, watched a lot of tutorials, and it motivates me even more to stick to game to see that you are putting in any effort to keep the game going.
Thank you very much for your work and have a very merry Christmas!
This reminds me of… I see you as a new employee joining the business, all hyped up and ready to go, positive, ready to tackle all the challenges. Good for you.
Current employees: “I’ll give him 1 month before he cracks”
well I kind of feel sorry for you guys. I play HotS for 4 years, recently started again. As I wrote I am aware of issues.
That does not hinder me to say something kind if ppl show effort.
Instead of whining and being destructive - did you consider actually look up some stuff or promote learning for the community?
There are great tutorials on Youtube with some 100 views after years. Did you watch them? Did you promote them to others?
Do you have respect for Nubkeks / Fan / Grubby? Who still invest time and money into the game you all bash for being dead or broken?
Consider stuff like that before coming along with that negative attitude.
Hi, I appreciate your appreciation post. From all accounts the Devs who actually do the work on HOTS are allocated few resources and I know I was elated simply seeing a different splash screen after 6 months.
This is though quite unfair. Even if you take a cursory look at the forums you will see posters here who have created multiple hero guides, the The Hall of Builds is a good example of this.
Master players here have also coached people in game one on one one offered assistance here on the forums. Yes not all these topics are on the front page and you may have to look for them, but they are there.
If you read my post, you know that I am stating the same thing as you. The 2 ppl having to put my thread down, surely did not educate anyone. For the ones who do I already stood in above.
@hasher22: not taking your condescending entrance. Muted.
While I appreciate the work of every Blizzard developer, it’s just not enough to say thanks. If you compare the amount of content for HOTS with other games it’s just frustrating. clearly not the developers fault, but the management decisions behind how the budget gets used.
They play the game to make money on Twitch and YouTube. Not sure what you are talking about.
@aubergine: do I have to translate the post into another language for you, so you can understand it better?
You think you have any knowledge about anything? You think, that with the views these guys still get, they get rich?
They stay loyal to a game they already invested a lot of time and effort in from day 1, generated content, that the ungrateful and destructive community that shows itself right here in this post not even considered using to create a better gaming environment and they even continue to contribute to this day. Fan especially put in the training to make it as a pro, getting his career pulled out from right under him.
And you have the audacity to park your unreflected comment in this forum as if you achieved something with it.
And saying thx is not enough? Seriously? Condescending much? What did you do to make things better?
Get lost.
I didn’t write they get rich. I wrote that they produce content to make money and don’t invest money. Especially with community unfriendly content like Bronze to GM challenges. Grubby plays AOE4 btw.
Not sure on which trip you are. Speak to somebody who can help you.
This is just plain rude and speaks more to your conduct over some vague claims about a “destructive community.”
I would never defend Eggplant, but so far at least has managed to be civil and didn’t tell you to “get lost.”
As I already pointed out to you above, many people in this community have contributed in meaningful, positive and tangible areas despite your unsubstantiated claims to the contrary.
You only need glace at the pinned comments at the top of the forum. Do you think the people in the below threads work for Blizzard or are paid? No, they are forum users who contribute to this community you deride as “destructive” without any monetary gain.
Both Phaseshifter and Darak have helped to educate this community. Both have contributed hero guides and other meaningful content. I think you missed that their posts in this thread are satirical in nature and in fact they were receiving your post positively.
Both were tongue in cheek as it’s rare we have someone new to the forums like yourself, make a Hots appreciation thread. Unfortunately it’s far more common that new threads are complaint posts such as “remove Blackheart’s Bay” or “Matchmaking sucks!”
