I was looking for a reason to post this thread today and talk to someone about it, because I'm in a perpetual state of Mad about anything SWTOR. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=755534 They announced a dev stream for Thursday about Guild ships in a patch about 2 weeks away, haven't posted anything concrete before(community has gotten all its news about this feature thru datamined files on reddit) the stream magically didn't happen, no explanation, no community outreach, nothing. It's now 4 days later and biodrones be defending the radio silence and content not being on the PTR 2 weeks to launch. Highlights include: Today, 05:13 PM | #3 REPORT POST QUOTE Because putting a big, complicated new system onto the last pre-production server always goes smoothly and without delay, right? Today, 05:47 PM | #13 REPORT POST QUOTE Impatient people are impatient. No, you get no info before they're ready to release it because people freak the hell out at the drop of a hat, start screaming 'liars' and basically wet their pants when stuff is changed before it even hits the PTS, much less live. So, relax. You'll get it when they're ready to give it. Today, 06:00 PM | #19 REPORT POST QUOTE Quote: Originally Posted by sepulhead that is fine when the release date is months away now it 2 weeks away and its still more info closer to release thay and you wonder why people are upset? One person on the internet does not equal 'people are upset.' Our forums are NOT this bad. Our devs are NOT this bad.

All valid points. I would only counter anecdotally that the vast majority of players do NOT actually have any real interest in a real Dev dialogue, despite saying they do. They want to be told things are good, or hear things are going good from a friend who is into that, and I'm paraphrasing here, "boring-ass CSPAN Cliff Notes." I cite for example the vastly different(and smaller!) userbase that frequents the PTR General Discussion and Game Updates subforums, and the News & Announcements, Bug Reports and Game Updates forums. The devs really are pretty attentive in the proper channels, and the majority of the players still feel the need to post or browse the GD exclusively. If you've been active in a thread at all since launch, you might notice that you're posting in a thread, and when you're done, that thread is now in a completely different forum like Housing, SpellSlinger, or Off-Topic, because the mods moved it to a better fit to encourage the original forum design. We absolutely as a community do not use the sub-forums as much as we should. I see about half the topics or issues created in GD actually answered a week ago somewhere else, and someone just hasn't linked to the official answer yet.

Uhh... everything in the dev tracker as far as I'm aware. Those all look to be player raised concerns and they got a dev/community manager response... https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/devtracker/
