thats what is being done atm DS 20 man wont go though as it is atm on the ptr thats never going to happen they will most likely put up a fixed version before drop 4 hits us. also about locking down a drop: thats normal you cant endlessly put in features until last date. changes to warriors came late so they cant be in this drop its testing wise impossible.

drop 4 focuses on itemization and DS 20 man and some shiphands. afaik shiphands arent really tested that much in there veteran version you can do that if you want to! ds 20 man has been tested quite abit and people found out thats its overtuned and buggy. itemization has been giving feedback on since it first came up on ptr. what else do you want? there were 2 weeks of vacation xmas and new year almost all company have vacation on those days in a year and you probally had vacation too! give them there break and let them come back to the office they are just starting again in i would say 2 weeks we will say a new drop 4 build on the ptr while then take a look at the shiphands and help improve them instead of complaining that humans take a break...

That is just a consolidation of information they put up after the PTR vent live with Drop 4, not plans for future content.

I don't want them to have a discussion with me about their long term plans. I want them to provide the ability for players to give feedback before plans are set in stone. What we're presented here is an overhaul to the way Warrior DPS works in Pve and PvP, with 0 player feedback. It is put on the PTR, given quite a bit of feedback talking about how it shouldn't go live like this, give it more time, you just swapped class leads, the last one had a poor reputation, don't bundle it in with other changes that NEED to go out. ... and this is what we get. Perhaps the development process could be improved by making statements about changes and receiving feedback, before locking them in unable to be changed. The current process enables bad changes to last months before they're even tested / given feedback on. You wonder why this game gets such bad reviews / has bad perception, its because they hamstring themselves at every turn. Further, I don't expect to be privy to information that I'm not being paid to sift through and provide feedback on. What I do expect, however, is the ability to give feedback on poor design decisions before they're set in stone. AS one of the few warriors QUALIFIED to talk about PvP in the warrior class in Wildstar, I would expect that the developers who have 0 understanding of PvP to first get feedback before enacting changes. So you tell me Vic, do you think I'm being unreasonable here to expect a bit of professionalism from a company struggling to change its perception?

No one is asking for a business plan about how they pay their employees. All we want (in a nutshell) is to see patch notes before the PTR goes up. We want our feedback to be responded to, especially when it holds weight. WildStar needs us to survive. With no one playing this game, there is no WildStar. End of story.
