I have really been as positive as I can be over the last few months after returning. I keep wanting to give this game a chance but there is so much potential being wasted and I feel as we move forward the communication side of things has been getting worse.
A lot of the issue, and I don’t speak alone here, is nexon. I was one of only a few people who remained open minded when this partnership was announced. I have given them chance after chance and if I was to have the chance to get back the time I have invested in this game, I honestly would.
I get messages every day from people who want this game to do well. People asking me to host cups, leagues or do events. But with a lack of motivation and just the feeling the community is no longer influences the outcome of the game as much as it used to any more I am struggling here. I am not talking about recoil or map design. I am talking about the general picture. I find it increasingly difficult to accept changes like “Press J to repsawn” while other CORE mechanics still need huge changes. We do not want nor need an instant respawn for the defenders, they have a huge advantage already.
The reason I decided to post this was simply because it worries me that people who invested a **** tonne of work into the community cannot give this game the time of day any more. I look at the likes of ImageOmega, Seanza, and I can guarantee it’ll be Pixel next. The reason why we put in effort is because we have seen potential. We invested hours into building fan sites, hosting cups, giving feedback and I honestly feel a little unappreciated. Do not alienate the core of your community for the sake of trying to make something that is broken work.
The whole deal with nexon. I am sure you have your reasons for picking them. But lets face it guys. Servers are full of cheaters. They are even posting on their forums proving they are cheaters. Their forums are an absolute joke. for almost 12 months we have been waiting for new forums and we are still without ANY improvements over there. They BAN legit players left right and center while cheaters are literally crawling everywhere right now. Why not give some more of the valued community members admin passwords and start enforcing kicks/bans via them. People would clear off after 5 minutes of playing. I mean lets face it, come the time of release are people gunna be wanting to come back after being spat in the face of by being banned for being legit or being slapped in the face at every turn by cheaters?
I think I speak on many community members here as well as new faces that our frustrations are getting to the point where we do not want to give any more chances. We need feedback, we need nexon to be present rather than a bad set of unmanaged forums, we need cheaters sorted asap and we need our views listened to and actioned. I do NOT want an ET remake, there are many who do and they and they have the right to give their views, however I want a new fresh game. It almost feels as if my views are quickly brushed aside as I am coming from ET myself.
I am looking forward to a non generic response as this is not nexon. I want to have a discussion about moving forward as “one step forward and 3 steps back” has gone on long enough. I will be taking a month or so to debate whether I want to get my hands dirty with this game as I feel a lack of appreciation from SD/nexon and I also feel a little lack of respect and almost an expectation that it will be ME to fix the activity.
