Disguise negative comments as positive ones; Mix some sugar with the salt :p
All constructive criticism has disappeared to. As they take any form of criticism as personal attacks. Want to complain about lame events that just feature recolors? You get banned from the forms for a week. You point out that this was supposed to be the biggest expansion ever according to STS, you get banned from the forms for a week. You don't play the game except once in a very great while and you kissed the developers arse... your words are taken as gospel. Is anyone else wondering why the game content has suffered in the last few expansions? By the way I'm sure I'll get Forum banned for a bit. Sts can't handle anybody that doesn't flatter them.Quote:

Not true. Give constructive criticism and we are all ears. We keep the forums drama free to prevent them from becoming poisonous. Cuss at us, call us lazy, whine about how bored you are after another 2x event, and you will get a time out. Act like an adult, understand that we are professionals and this is our workplace and engage us with level discussions and we will gladly talk.
Respectfully, your track record suggests otherwise. If you listened two people who just played the game a lot instead of people who paid the game a lot you wouldn't have half the issues you're currently facing. Class balance needs to be stripped back down to the basics instead of just applying fix after fix after fix that continually unbalanced the game. And from what I and many others have observed you listen to people who possibly give constructive feedback but you never listen to people that actually give constructive criticism. And if you think I'm talking out of my ***, put up a pole for the AL community and see for yourself. Again nothing personal but seriously people...Quote:

I get that very well justg but some people really lose their cool when they have to deal with some of the decisions made by sts ( not trying to undermine your decisions) and feel the game is taking the wrong direction;It is just hard to accept the recolors, 2x events and complete removal of gold from Hydra when people invested hours of their life and some even money into this. You guys have made one of the best game of all time and our expectations are so high why is why people get angry and find it difficult to be cool about it. I myself a victim of this at times.Quote:

Ultimately, when some people had enough, they let it all out. Even just a simple comment like, " comment your thoughts about this or that in this thread [Link]" is enough. At least, this acknowledges our voice specific to issues and in the end sts can decide the best course of action. We know you want the best for the game but it helps at times of huge controvery why some decisons are made e.g. complete removal of gold in hydra. I have lost a quite a few friends for this ( they quit). People were soo motivated to farm here and get mire set but now it is just gone because it does not contribute to their interests.
Maybe this is asking for too much or unreasonable or I am just being stupid but how about an unfiltered sub forum? or replacing the AL Public Test Server? Ofc this would exclude any explicit content.
We expect you to be cool about it and treat us like professionals here in our workplace. If you disagree with our decisions we appreciate it when you offer compelling reasons to not do the things we do, not rage and threaten to quit. We've explained multiple times how the 2x events are FILLER between the larger tent-pole events. We also try to introduce new vanities in the events (and have with each one) instead of just recolors but that is not what draws the attention. We're not EA or Riot. We do the best we can with our limited resources.Quote:

I don't get what the big deal is about 2x events in between the really big ones. If they added 2x (such as they do now) it keeps as a filler (as jusg said) between events. If we didn't have those, we would grow bored all the time. What would there be to farm??? Also, why would they invest time and money to try to add different fill ins between events? If they added events all the time there wouldn't be any enjoyment or excitement when the actual events come.
Unfortunately y'all are not giving sts the credit they deserve. If sts didn't filter out people's negative feedback, we would have even more drama as the previous person's thread would spark others to lash back.
Personally I don't care for recolored pets, but I still take it as a way to earn that pet and sell it in the marketplace.
I remember JustG you once said that you will always respond when people spend time and effort to write meaningful suggestions. I took that to heart, and spent a lot of time detailing the suggestions I had for this game, expecting you to hold true to your word, and be honest. Lo and behold, no dev answered on the thread (couldn't be bothered), and I had to beg in the chatbox for developer feedback, until Vroom said a few sentences in response (instead of taking a few minutes to respond on the thread, given that I put in a lot of effort BECAUSE you said that you would respond to well thought out suggestions). This type of behavior is not befitting of anyone, let alone a CEO of a big company. The thread was this, btw https://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...More-Enjoyable
I don't recall saying I will always respond to meaningful suggestions. There is not enough time for us to do that and develop the game. But this does not mean we do not read them and take them into account.Quote:

Bottom line is we do welcome feedback, even negative if it is presented in a constructive way.
Insults don't help, we're people too (sometimes working on weekends).
Thanks for the feedback, everywhere.
They did implement your idea about the mass opening of chests... from what I see they do listen to the players and consider ideas. I think I saw ravager in a thread a while back suggest having the option to show the available items you can craft in the crafting station, and now we can. Even the concept of mausoleum maps, energizeric I believe suggested that way back before it ever happened. I think they consider things way more than people know. In your thread fry, you want to add a remap button and a pet swap button to the HUD 0,0 . My HUD is pretty full as is playing on an iPhone . What if they want to add more ultimates or another skill? It would be too muchQuote:

And maybe add the option to have it on the hud or disable it (just like emotes), so people who don't want it won't be annoyed, and people who want it will be happy. It satisfies everyone.
Thats what i did. I only asked if ur planning add more maps to endgame because theres nowhere to play. I compared it with previous expansion where we got 5 maps. Told u also ppl r bored/dissapointed and u deleted mine thread. If that was not constructive critisim, idk what else does.Quote:

Gold removed from raids but rogues are still the best class to play there. I hope some elite maps are coming soon. Looking forward to whats next for AL.Quote:

Respect restored 60%.
speaking of drama....
No more E3's?!?!? or shows
No more behind the scenes videos?
Just wanted to see of more of what you guys are doing now that Sam, Remi, Delphi are gone. I know its asking alot but many of us have
been with you guys a long time and seen many changes. We all want to see how you guys are doing also...now that even Carapace doesn't even post.
I recomend complaining people to try dev shoes.....imagine if you put effort in something you do (and probably enjoy) like sport, or school, or work, and all people keep saying “this is wrong, that is awful, those are crap. Continuosly. Without knowing what kind of effort requires, just commenting criticizing they don’t enjoy what you do. And you look around and you know you are doing a good job, because others do worse.
Got the picture?
Here you have the CEO of a company that cares so much about AL and you that directly answer in forum! Guys......this is not common at all! Trust me about XD!!!
Sts is not perfect (nobody is) but I can feel the passion for their job. And when they clean some negative comments, I understand that some people don’t get why. Because many of us (me included) thinks that just expressing a bad feeling makes things change. It doesn’t ! Offering solutions for a negative situation could change it!
So.....let’s try to offer a different view to Sts while we comment on something we don’t like, besides just criticizes.
At the end of the day, we all enjoy/enjoyed AL, and just for this I thanks Sts.
Keep up the good work and don’t listen too much on people on forum XD me included with last sentence XD
Sts consists of highly skilled developers. Dont underestimate them, they can do a lot more but sometimes does not undertake big risks involved ideas/projects because they dont have the man power and financial stability.Quote:
