Dev Q&A?

[Boroeast]

I'll rather have the devs working on new stuff, rather than coming here more often(because they're in the forums- I know who they're) and just post on forums when Dawnseeker will post news regularly.

In contary to popular belief, they do! Why? We can see who's viewed the threads .

And to be honest Boro I agree.

To support this

As for your feedback not being considered, it seems to me that no matter how much we solicit and collect feedback, some will not be convinced that we are listening. It doesn't seem to matter that I made a thread specifically asking for player feedback about several concepts, we were deemed to "not be listening" because I didn't run a commentary on feedback that was posted.

Feedback threads are very simple, and I'll post this in future feedback threads.

We post about some ideas or concepts that we're implementing or considering. Players offer their comments. Multiple developers, who do not post on the forums, browse the thread at their leisure to get a feel for potential issues or concerns that may arise from the development. They make decisions accordingly. I intentionally do not get involved in the discussion because I don't want to become an "Ask Dawnseeker" thread or for people to address other concerns to me simply because they believe they have my attention.

I can only state this so many times in so many ways: Multiple developers read the feedback threads, and they don't want to see my opinions. They want to see your opinions.

Like I say, you all can't see it.
TyTony comes on forums a lot- I believe he only posted once. But he looks at many many many threads, specially in Bug Reports.
There are other devs and other Tynon Employees here.

So...if "we all" can't see it how does that help us?

And yes, Dawn did post after starting his feedback thread. However, his post was on a completely different topic than the one he started. Hence why we think the input isn't being listened to.

I get it, people can come view the threads. You don't even have to be a Tynon player to view threads. But the point of a Q&A is specifics. It doesn't do the players any good to know there's a vague dev presence out there, somewhere. I don't see why someone can't or won't step up and answer questions on a quarterly basis, which is pretty minimal in comparison to alot of games--which I say without the intent of flaming, baiting or trolling. IMHO, intentionally sidestepping even a controlled dialogue tells me that the development isn't following a particular path, or the release was rushed ahead of schedule, hence why it's still cooking in the test tube like a beta while being sold as "live."

You don't need permission to view threads or anyone else does.

A thread like this was closed couple of weeks ago.
You're not the only one who have think about this.

Hence will I'll close this one as well.

This is a good idea, but as I explained in another thread, we can't answer "when" questions.
