The post you linked and 99% of the Megathreads can be summarized as “Gimme back something like Mass Rez”.
Barely any of the posts were “Okay you want to do a Valkyrie ultimate, and weaken Rez? Here’s how you can implement this type of design to be more fun and balanced.”
And the very few posts that were that were buried in a sea of “Gimme back something like Mass Rez”.
I don’t particularly care about the justifications.
As for the design it’s really not that complex.
It’s basically 1) Remove Valk 2) Make a 15m range version of High Noon that does a Rez.
And like said above, the devs really really don’t seem interested in implementing something like Mass Rez.
It would have saved a lot of hassle and development if they would have just outright said they aren’t currently interested in something similar to Mass Rez, but are open to other ideas.
Sigh. Which one of them said that? In which post? And no, linking the ”We have no plans to revert Mercy” doesn’t count. Adding a new version of mass Rez isn’t a revert.
So do you figure Mercy posters would start suggesting constructive ideas if the devs reconfirmed that they aren’t interested in ideas similar to Mass Rez?
But why NOT on Twitter? Twitter is still community engagement. Twitter still lets people @ them and give feedback. Why get angry about where a dev is engaging with the community, when they are there actively engaging with the community (AND monitoring the game working properly).
This is why I have 0 problems with devs’ read hours being hidden, because people will always have opinions about whether it’s enough (“Why are you on Twitter and not the forums?!”) or too much (“Pfft, now I see why the game is such a mess, you’re always on the forums”), and the number really has very little to do with how much they care or are engaged or are doing their jobs.
From my understanding they are living inside of this very large panic room in the basement of Blizzard studios. They are hiding from ALL of the Angry Mercy mains. INfact I dont think they even have a HOME outside of blizzard studios. so My guess is. They wont have their profiles public either .
I too am not too crazy about this change in the forum system. Thank goodness I completed the Blizz/Dev Post Directory guide before this happened. That project could have been slowed up big time if I had only the Blizz Tracker feeds to sort posts from.
This forum is supposed to be a place where every player can share their opinions, experiences, and questions about the game.
The devs reworked my favorite hero and made her completely trash because “some players were doing hide n rez”. I’ve played her after the rework. And after the I-don’t-know-anymore-how-many nerfs.
They gave me a place to directly share my feedback about this concept to make it easier for them to read it (lol), and I’ve given my feedback which is
This rework is trash.
There’s nothing good from this rework, except maybe the new GA tricks (bunnyhop & superjump). Everything else has been nerfed and is no longer enjoyable.
Old Mercy was way more enjoyable, engaging and complex.
Why should I bother trying to fix Blizzard’s mess when we know that there’s a specific option that worked for an entire year ?
I mean if you don’t like Mass Rez and consider any proposition that includes it to be unconstructive, that’s your problem, but please don’t hold Mercy players responsible for the terrible rework they had to endure.
As for the devs profile being hidden, maybe they think hiding will make the problems disapear
Guess what ? It doesn’t.
I see you Jeff. I won’t go away until you fix Mercy.
