As an aside, what is this big deal with NDAs. I've been knocking about gaming, betas and following dev cycles since the late 1990s and I've never seen it being such a big deal as it is with Relic.
Admittedly, I am / was more of a CRPG fan but if you hang out at Bioware / Obsidian / Bethseda you get a load of feedback. OK, at Bioware it's about having sex with aliens but you get my drift.
NDA is no more of this time.
Transparency and constant enticing is.
Though you can be very "constructive" and say it's not their fault and they will be "back", it doesn't change a damn thing that they dug their own grave.
There are so many games on the PC, every day there is another game that tries to push away another similar one. We have so much choice.
Also, don't expect a boom in players, no sir the release of the game has to be the boom. The release of WFA has to be the boom. AA had to be the boom. The constant release of content has to maintain the growth. Marketing and constant enticing maintains a playerbase.
But non of that is happening. Quite the opposite. It's just not working guys.
Though I'm still organizing tourneys, my will to do so has completely vanished. My fellow caster knows I'm completely sick and tired of the game and its way its way it is handling new releases and his community. (Though I'm not saying "Fek off Cynthia" or "Stupid PQ" - absolutely not because they are really good people who are doing their best, especially Cynthia is a great person, I've been in contact for some time now and she's a great person) - The game is just a sinking ship and there is no single point in denying that.
"Stay positive, you'll get burned out after a while." - Ipkai
I first thought "yeye Ipkai sure", but I now agree 100% with the guy.
I am working in a customer-oriented company and the way Relic handles its communication or just in general his relation with the customer is just inadequate.
Better than before, that might be but (I'm speaking for myself) that's just not enough. When you get a 2/10 on your school report and you had a 1/10 before, you can talk about progress, but still very very poor.
The amount of good people lost the previous year is just too much. Rogers and Ipkai are only 2 examples of it.
Not only that, but their priorities are very strange.
DLC content has not been brought out for a very long time. Easy money and pleasing customers with skins, stickers or commanders.
It's not going to take a long time untill I say goodbye to this game too.
I don't care anymore about 'oh but it's going to change' or 'it has been worse'. Communication, service 0.
