When was the last usefull blue post on this forum?
When was the last developer update where you ACTUALLY told us what are you going to do in the future?
I can’t, I… I really can’t. There is no one on this forum… no… on this ENTIRE PLANET who can understant your moves right now, so HELP US!
What was this last balance changes? WHO ASKED YOU ABOUT THIS? killing doomfist and bringing back mcfanthehammer. Cool, but no.
Why there is nothing new in seasonal events since the Winter Wonderland 2017? (didn’t count archives because there will always be something new each year)
Why there are no new mechanics in this game since useless endorsments and a bit less useless LFG?
You always tell us about our feedback, but guess what. WE NEED YOUR VOICE TOO!
So please, let us hear it.
P.s.
Sorry for bad grammar. I tried my best. Tell em if there is something wrong.
This was nearly a month ago, and none of the information here was particularly specific or revolutionary. The tl;dr of that post is “We’re working on the same things we’ve been working on, and we’ve got a few secret things up our sleeves, but we can’t tell you anything about them.”
In short, it tells us nothing new or specific about what Blizzard is doing or plans to do in the near future.
True, but the point is they are working on new core content for the game. Granted, they don’t like revealing secrets until they are ready, but they have learned from experience to not spoil anything until it is ready (no matter how torturous it is for us).
Again–much of that “new core content” is stuff we’ve been getting. Which, that’s fine, I have no inherent criticism of them continuing to add more of the same, but that doesn’t change that Jeff’s post basically didn’t communicate anything meaningful. We already know they have been, are, and will likely will continue to work on new heroes, balance, new modes, etc etc etc. Until they announce otherwise, that is kinda the expectation of them as the game’s developers.
Ostensibly they’re working on something else new, but it’s “top secret,” which means that we have absolutely no indication as to how large or meaningful these additions will be, or how soon we can expect these additions in the game. Again, not really communicating anything meaningful there–it’s a nebulous promise meant to built hype over something that could be as small as “an extra training bot in the Training Arena” or as large as “here’s 40 new heroes in one patch.” We don’t know.
It’s a distraction from the overarching point that nothing of any real value was communicated in Jeff’s post.
If you want a better example of specific communication, take Geoff’s statement that they have no immediate plans to rework any heroes, but that the next hero for a rework would probably be Bastion. That’s still not as specific as it could have been, but it’s much better than Jeff’s post. It provides meaningful communication that the devs are looking at Bastion and understanding that he’s got inherent kit problems that they’re possibly going to try to resolve. But, also, that was on a stream, which isn’t necessarily the best platform for communication if the intent is to communicate with the community at large.
Jeff said in an interview that what the team is working on is gonna make us say “Oh, so that’s what they were doing.” or something like that. Be patient. The holidays are over. I’m sure they’ll update us about something soon.
So, a lot is just unknown stuff because they dont wona talk about it. THAT REALY HELP. And remember, they say it is just sample of what they working on, rest is even bigger secret!
It dont sound like something positive for 100% you know…
i’ll tell you whats happening, Activision Blizzard lost 40% of its value in a few months. Shareholders are asking where is their money…devs are getting fired, they won’t talk to us, we are not whats important, shareholders are.
So what they are doing now, is trying to make money, after the sale ends, you can expect some microtransaction incentives in all of blizzard games.
You will not be communicated with, you are here just to be milked for money and remember , it’s never enough money for them, never. Speak with your wallet when the time comes, which is soon.
they are doing a “great” job…
i know its not related to devs directly - i am talking about how blizz works now
i am waiting for 46 days now for shipment of stuff i bought on gear store (and support have NO info on situation)
they are censoring twitch chat (or activision is sharing BN account info of their users with amazon)
zero communication (propably ordered by corpored higher-ups)
D immortal situation
end of HOTS
WOW BfA problems
etc. etc. etc.etc.
simply this happens when ‘money people’ push to the stage (under the train) diablo developers and tell them to announce to us what they want to sell us
this happens when they rush WOW expansion with not finished/tested end game content
this happens with chat when PR is going against total and overwhelming majority of their own customers
this is what happens when money and PR deicdes for developers how to run things
they are disconnected from playerbase and act only on their own premises
You want the devs attention and you can’t hold back your frustration and you start calling things they very likely worked hard on “useless”
Please try to act more like a mature person if you want the devs to consider your post.
IMO we should just ask to hear some of their plans, if for some reason you are still hoping events in their current state will get refreshed i fear you should not hold your breath.
I want to know about the upcoming social features and if they are considering any after game stats for review and a role Q since they spoke about it last time.
