I think a balance is needed on this front too. Lets be honest, if they communicate here and not on social media it is likely that it will reach even fewer people as even official forums have a lower user base than social media. I do think that cross posting important information is helpful but I do not think everything should be restircted to one place and Twitter/Reddit do not require you to register in order to view the information that is posted there.

They wanted to be trendy with Reddit and Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr and Tinder (rawr Frost).

Because that's worked so well up until this point. Outright fanboyism is nothing but harmful Olivar. In a way, you are one of the worst people in the community as all you do is go from thread to thread acting intentionally obtuse pretending everything is perfect when it's anything but. I've always found it ironic that people who love a game to the point of absurdity fight so hard to keep it from improving. Wildstar is floundering, open your beady little eyes already.

My now deleted post was mean but my point stands. It's time to wakeup dude.

And completely ignoring constructive feedback because of pride or a superiority complex can easily lead to a situation like Capcom or Diablo 3.

Balf's having a bad week, it seems. He forgets that you've brought this stuff up before.

That was a major cop out on his part. That's the best he could come up with? A bug in the easiest adventure? I don't think that's why we are seeing population drops. *shrugs*

He's definitely not that. Olivar has criticized, at various points that I can remember off the top of my head, without thinking too hard: -Long term bugs in the PVE mechanics -Carbine's issue with being over-reactionary -Issues with housing modules -Lost loot issues being serious problems -Dyes could use some changes Don't get angry at him because he doesn't buy everyone's hyperbole and doesn't have a problem showing up on a thread he thinks is bullshit to call it. He may spend a lot of time saying people are whining, but that seems to be more because he doesn't want to lose any of the 99% of the game he loves and will come into a thread to rabidly defend it. Pay attention when he agrees with part of the OP, but calls the other 75% and its conclusion stupid. Because, honestly, he's probably right for the most part. Critical threads tend to have kernels of real issues, and the rest are chalk full of bad ideas or bad conclusions drawn from those ideas. It's important to read posts carefully and thoroughly.

Did you expect this game to have a thriving population on every server every time you were online ? If you aren't in a guild working on attunements to raid or already raiding and you aren't in a serious pvp guild.. Then what exactly is your purpose in this game ? If you can't handle the solo grind and don't like waiting more then 10-15 mins for a dungeon/adventure queue and think the game is so buggy then why even be here.. Why does carbine need to communicate any more then it already is. They are clearly trying to prioritise issues and rollout new drops like they said they would. You aren't special you don't deserve 15 minute updates. Play the game like the rest of us if you don't like it just move on. And yes I have experienced some shitty bugs but I don't let crap like that make me all emo and have a *cupcake*ing tantrum.

+1 If I could somehow re-do life to have the opportunity to launch a game like this, I'd totally micro everything. I'd be there and have people there all weekend working the enormous list of bugs and server problems introduced or failed to fix in the "drop." Not to mention actually participating with and responding to players in every way imaginable. It's your baby, you don't ditch it at 5pm. Maybe these guys think they get to do this again or it's somebody else's problem. They won't, it isn't.

Eh, Carbine also has it share of blame imo. There's stuff they were told in alpha and they dismissed it with arrogance (arena exploits, itemization, pvp gear problems, warplots...). Pushing the launch would cause idk only 2 BGs instead of let's say 4-5, not the problems with the underlying systems. Pushing launch = usually lack of content and polish. Bad decisions...well...can't blame em on the publisher.

What they really need is less of this:  White Knights. You poison the community almost as much as the ones who are not constructive... oh wait... 90% of your posts aren't constructive because they are chastising anybody with a dissenting opinion. I won't miss seeing your posts, because they are beyond annoying. People (including you) are allowed to have their opinions and voice their concern. It's what makes the game better regardless of what you think. If nobody was ever able to say anything about a product and its performance nothing would ever improve.

We, the players, made it for them. hardcore.
