You guys say your paying attention to community feedback, yet the true fans here on the forums hardly ever see this. You guys need to be on here more giving your insight towards things we talk about here almost daily.
It doesnt have to be an everyday thing but say like every tuesday or wednesday, one of you guys from the dev team comes here on the forums and talks about some of this feedback you guys are actually say your listening too. Especially that bastion topic which is probably the most neglected topic on the forum with almost if not already 10k posts but not a single dev comment.
You guys say in these recent interviews your listening to us here yet we hardly see. Please guys, talk to us. Doesnt even have to be important issues. Heck our âwhat pet would every hero haveâ topic got michael chu talking about what pet roadhog would likely have. It wasnt even anything regarding balance it just let us know you guys were actually reading the forums and had input on things.
We talk, you say your listening, letâs communicate!
Of course theyâre not gonna listen to the buff mercy and genji threads, a lot of ideas about buffs or nerfs are just ridiculous, theyâre either âbuff my mainâ and âNerf the last hero that killed meâ.
In terms of bugs itâs inexcusable the lack of attention of devs. I was impressed how in the old forums it took months to get a response about doomfist bugs.
what only youtubers and streamers can be true fans? I think taking hours out of your day to read/write on the official forum shows you have some sort of higher dedication to the game then just popping it in for 2 hours after work to grind SR
The use of the term âTrue Fansâ is an elitist terminology to promote the entitlement of specific players. Those who use the forum are more entitled because of an arbitrary reason or methodology.
Well when you post on the âofficialâ forum and the devs say âthey listen to feedbackâ but we hardly see them here, where exactly are they getting this feedback from and wheres this communication they reference in the interview i clipped? If they arnt gonna respond here where are they supposed to?
The devs said they listen to all feedback from multiple communities. Discord, Facebook, Reddit, etc. It would be foolish for them to only look to the official forums.
They also didnât say they took all feedback to heart (Since a lot of feedback is outright silly such as deleting a hero from the game suggestions they commonly get).
The forums is simply one of many outlets to express oneself to the developers. Not to mention there isnât a unifying opinion among the developers themselves. They have internal discussions on what to do and disagree with one another on many things. So before they can take feedback into consideration they have to reach a consensus themselves.
I miss the old days.
We brought the topic about d.va so many times. Jeff didnât even give us a hint that they were working on a skin, cinematic and a map about her (even though he hinted hazo and zarya skins in the past when ppl asked). I guess they wanted to surprise us but being silent only creates unneeded tense in the community.
Pretty much everyone who actually cares enough about the game is in the forums (and I mean those who are active daily)
exactly but as dumb as expecting them to listen to âeveryâ suggestion is itâs just as naive to assume the forum has no good feedback at all. There are just as many constructive topics as there are rants here in the forums. It would just be nice to see the devs actually saying more. Like the comment on the ship in busan the level designer commented on recently. It was just small input to a question and it gave more insight to us why it was made as such.
And they listen to what they deem as good feedback.
Roadhogâs Take a Breather buff was a forum suggestion
Sombra hack on 2 second cooldown was a forum suggestion
They unerfed Lucioâs Speed Nerf on the PTR via forum suggestions
They removed Falloff Damage from Mei via forum suggestions
etc.
The list goes on. Feedback they deem as worthwhile is implemented. Granted the playerbase is so divided on what is âGoodâ that any change they make is going to upset people causing them to run to the forums foaming at the mouth from salt overdose.
Nah. If reddit wasnât blocked at work i would never come here. The competitive overwatch Reddit is a much better place for actual discussion than these forums.
The community talks and insults/flames Blizz; They donât need to, nor should they, listen to that.
They listen to the community a lot of times, to the point where many of the changes (both popular and especially unpopular) were done based off what the vocal people wanted.
No, itâs that the label âtrue fansâ is a joke. Itâs gatekeeping. Itâs exclusionary. Itâs like saying, âOnly true fans have the Pink Mercy skin and all-access pass to OWL and support Blizzâs decisions/actions.â
No, you can be a fan without devoting minutes/hours per day on these forums, just as you can be a fan without grinding SR or being a streamer/youtuber.
