As a day 1 Caustic main I can honestly say that I’m highly disappointed with the lack of support this character has received from the devs all these years. Since his original nerf, he’s never been th...
I really like your post about Caustic (the one with the pick rate screen shot), yes he really does need a buff to his tact and alt as you stated and it should be easy for EA/Respawn to implement. I wish they would really make Caustic a viable menace again.
As for these things (see my answers in Bold) :
1. "I don't even know if anyone from Respawn analyzes and reads these statements. I have the impression that we write all this for ourselves anyway, and they don't care. This isn't even about this topic, but there have already been so many different discussions on this forum, from which nothing has ever come... so the question is - who is this forum supposed to serve? What can be done on this forum?" The CM's do read our posts and they do pass on info to the Devs, they do care. Those of us in the SU program also highlight things and pass them on to the CM's as we see fit as well, even if we do not respond to the post (See point 3 below).
2. "Someone asks about a ban or asks a question about cheaters - they get a ready-made answer from a template." Yes the CM's and we the SU's do use templates from time to time as it 1. makes life easier for us and 2. we give out the same consistent info, as needed we will also add non templated remarks as well.
3. "In other discussions, the EA team in 95% does not say anything, as if they were completely uninterested." It is not that there is a lack of interest but you do have to understand that there are Forum boards/threads for quite a number of games and in quite a few different languages which equals quite a lot of post's per day. That is a lot of work. Just because there is not a response does not mean there is a lack of interest (see point 1 above).
4. "I personally have the impression that this forum is just for the sake of it and nothing more." The forum is mainly a place for gamers to help other gamers and to share their passion for the games we play and to provide information about what we think can be improved on/made better, submit bug reports, ask for technical help etc.
