While the Dawntrail story is a big divider for the community and a lot of people are hoping for changes or additions to QoL and Gameplay. I think there is an underlying issue that might be inflaming the situation and not helping in any way to appease some of the community that are frustrated.
The lack of communication and transparency.
Their way of communicating things is either a very dismissive:
- Please look forward to it
- We are working on it
- Its a bit difficult
Or very biased interviews that simply are set up to present features of a patch and not adress any concerns of the community, nor...
Give us a timeframe, behind the scenes, or anykind of indication on what they are working on for this so called "10 year plan" besides things that are coming in the next patch.
Now I understand the need to hide some major features as a surprise, if they are expansion related. But fixes, upgrades, QoL, aspirations, goals, timelines, roadmaps, somekind of a section for live letters called "Looking towards the future" or something similar would help tone down concerns that they aren't doing ANYTHING.
The "hiding everything" was cute at the start, but I think its ran its course. If they intend on keeping customers loyal and subbing for this "10 year plan" I think it's time for a "10 year roadmap" in chunks to alleviate concerns of certain non-hat wearers and more.
Possible subjects:
- Progress with hats for Viera and Hrot
- Progress with graphical updates and a roadmap for it
- Progress with adding various QoL
- Future aspirations on what they want to add or a concern they want to tackle (teaser)
