Been talking with some folks, we want to see this test from your (Splash Damage) perspective an what your big picture is. What is gonna help you out number/business wise.
That brings us to a very valid idea that is going to help you long term tremendously. You have your packs an what not for alpha invites, but what if we bring in to the testing; community leaders from the variety of other billion dollar industry games. It’s early yet an if we test with a plethora of ideas an feelings from the beginning, it will help along the way in a smoother process.
The community we have at hand now is mainly “your” community per say. We know what we like an what we want. Respectively what if you get a hand full of more invites out to community leaders in other games whether it be competitive players or just personalities from the games. If we have ideas an thoughts posted on the forum from people that are “expecting” something else or what might make up the “major” majority outside our community we can have a different look, understanding, an constructive talks. That could help with trying to mesh that past an the present an what makes it all work in the end.
Hats off to you guys, this challenge is huge an is a tremendous project to take on. The challenge is grabbing everyone from everywhere an creating a community that lasts for decades. That by no means is easy.
So what about getting some private invites to people outside this niche an wondering to the worlds of COD, BF3, CS, an such.
We know as a community what we want. But, in all fairness we NEED to get “OPINIONS” from everywhere for this to work so we all can enjoy a longevity of this game for years to come.
