Show some transparency then.
Topics in C&I before making changes could prevent 8 pages of cringing all over the patch notes. I don't know who PM'd you, nobody knows, but in a forum topic we'd actually see who gives what ideas, and we'd be able to debate.
Brainstorming doesn't involve receiving only opinions and no counter-arguments on each opinion. For all I know, you got 10 PM's from one single village asking you to delete red-handed.
Now you see in this very topic people that played in the same village arguing on this change. One of them got KO'd in every single big fight during the first 10 minutes, while the other one was KO'ing us. One of them grinds 5k stats 6 months after every PVPer stopped playing and claims he can 1v4 people even if they had double his stats, while the other guy stopped playing because of the constant client crashes.
- Trollex literally said "this would be a cool change if there was something else to replace the removal of red-hand".
- Bleh suggested some changes to scents, to replace red-handed.
- Snail decided to cringe all over the thread for like 6 pages trying to furiously defend this change, for some reason ignoring all of that "if there was something else to replace the removal of red-hand", for whatever fucking reason, and Trollex retaliated cause he got pissed.
A moderated thread in C&I would prevent all of this crap, and people would feel like they get to have a saying before you make a change you usually don't ever feel like "considering" ever again.
Remember when they used loot scripts to instantly loot everything off a KO'd hearthling? You added a "fix" you asked for in discord once, then the next patch you straight up removed that fix saying "we gotta think a lil more on it, we'll do something soon", and it's been 2 months and I haven't seen you even mention that thing once.
I just don't want this to be the case again, I actually care about your game, of course I'm jaded. Your game is literally 50 times more complex than Valheim, and those devs made like 60 million dollars just this year.
You ask me why I'm pissed at you, this is why:
You only seem to be listening to those kind of guys, the type of people who literally don't give a flying fuck about your game and only want to fulfil some weird fetish of pissing off people who have jobs and can't spend 16 hours in game per day, griefing literally helpless people who don't want to join what they consider a cancerous PVP community, because the only "official" discord server that represents your game is literally being ran by a cringe clusterfuck of retards that would name their realm "cum bucket" or whatever the fuck they wanted to name it. Every single person in that discord that isn't part of their group is being ironic and sarcastic 24/7.
Many fighters complained about red-handed, but as you can clearly see from MightySheep and Trollex (since most other decent fighters seem to have given up caring about your game), they never suggested anything like "just delete red-handed".
And you see all of the smaller groups and hermits asking why you removed it.
Why wouldn't you just make a forum topic to get opinions on red-handed? We'd be able to see who actually gives you those opinions, and see if it's only one village from one faction. You literally only asked once about red-handed in the FACTION-DRIVEN discord.
I'm not calling you dumb, I'm calling you disengaged and uninterested. How do you even expect people to reply to your question in discord, when you ask once and the message falls into the abyss of spam anyway?
A moderated topic would've been a nice way for decent humans from all levels of experience to engage into conversation and debate.
I'm too lazy to write any more so I'll stop. It's your game and you choose who you get influenced by, I only figured that if I'm just as loud as them, you'd take a second opinion too.
