Don’t you think that it would be more practical to create a section for the vast minority of “appreciation” threads such as this one: I'm Having So Much Fun ?
You have to realize that nonconstructive posts like: “I love the game” are just as useless as the posts you are describing such as “The game is trash”.
We are getting absolutely zero value from reading your subjective, unsubstantiated and nonconstructive praises just like we do with useless doom and gloom posts.
Why do you think that is? Whose fault is it?
Doesn’t it make sense that most of these people really care about the game? Why would they continue to engage with the community for a game they don’t care about?
Don’t you think that a lot of this bad attitude could be avoided if FS posted something, ANYTHING, to comment on some of the most common criticism?
For example, they could say:
- “We are looking into partially reworking Psyker to make BB synergies in his kit more impactful”
- “We made internal tests on the amount of plasteel players get and concluded that with the upcoming changes to crafting, we don’t see the need to change that right now, but we are monitoring and will adjust if needed.”
- “We understand the frustration with the randomness in acquiring new gear, and are working on a RNG mitigation system that will give players more agency when going after particular perks and blessings”
- “We looked into issues with pox-hound’s movement, and, while we realize it is frustrating for some players, the erratic movement is there by design to add to the chaos of the 40K battle”
I’m just making this stuff up to show examples - don’t comment on these, pls.
This game got more constructive feedback from the community then any other game I’ve seen. We had game designers, product managers and just, in general, a lot of long threads with so many well though-out suggestions.
What is the response? Silence.
This is why the community is leaning towards negativity.
