Because they’ve been enslaved by a tyrant “black company”.
The new project lead seems more like a phoney HR manager than a game developer in the video updates
Fair point
Also nice user lol
Honest question, when ever this devs did something good for once?
I hoped they all would get replaced by ppl more competent.
They’re quiet because no matter what they say, they get torn a new Ahole by people.
agreed. people love to overreact. i would not want to be a blizzard dev.
Honestly, it was better in OW1. At least in OW1 we would get post updates on the forums by Jeff himself. Now it’s just nothing. Nothing changed balance wise and I don’t understand why balance changes take so long. They promised us faster updates, better communication, but none of that is there. Why do we have to wait a season or two for balance changes? Why do they respond immediately when it comes to shop changes and battle pass content?
nah, if they came out and said “we will be returning event cosmetics to what they once were, new heroes will be free on launch and store prices/currency will be adjusted so they are no longer exceedingly stingy” I’m pretty sure they would be met with mostly overwhelming praise.
And who will believe them, besides few very naive ones?
It’s been like this for 3+ years now. Why did anyone think OW 2 would suddenly make the devs communicate more?
Yeah, because in OW1 they were proud of their work, and they still liked their playerbase. That’s not the case anymore. They hold their players in contempt.
They aren’t creative artists making their passion project to share with the world. They are making Big Macs on an assembly line for the hogs in the drive thru. We aren’t a community to them, we are numbers on a spreadsheet being maintained by evil nerds.
Well, theyre actively deleting threads that complain about the bad spot Supports are in right now. So they are watching.
Meanwhile wait times climb because no one wants anything to do with 1/3rd of the game.
Why did Sojourn not get nerfed sooner?
Why did Junkrat get a nerf?
That’s a start.
From developer’s PoV you are too stupid to know answers on those questions. As you ask them to explain their actions.
The fact that people are actually capable of writing thing like this without getting paid is just sad.
It’s all linked to the skins.
Think about it, new player plays an OP hero, they want to stand out more so they buy a skin and keep dominating noobs while looking flashy. Easy money.
Then SLOWLY nerf them over 6 months to a year to not kill their revenue. It’s all calculated.
That’s pretty much, That explains why some character shapes are different, Mei is chubby in game but on the character select screen she’s noticeably thinner.
What’s sad about it? Developers never were good at communicating with average folk, only members of their special club.
