Since there are so many forum members wanting answers and a live discussion with devs, maybe a Town Hall held specifically for AHQ members would be an awesome thing to improve communication. Here's how I see it:The Town Hall event would be set at a specific date, on monthly basis, with a different Respawn / EA members invited every time.The topics would be set in advance: quality of life,general state of the game, balancing, cosmetics, sneak peek, lore, meet the devs, fan art, etc..For each topic, forum members would come up with questions and / or vote for 3-5 existing questions.During a Town Hall, a moderator would ask devs the top 3-5 rated questions of each topic, then allowing them a short break to formulate good answers.Each short break could showcase top plays, fan art, merch, special promotions in game, sneak peeks or maybe some devs questions to the fans, to be answered at the end of the Town Hall or on the forums, until the next edition.After each Town Hall, the forum mods would create a topic on the forum with all the asked questions and given answers, allowing us to give them XP or maybe introduce a rating system so we can rate each answer.Unanswered questions would move to the next Town Hall editions or marked with a "cannot be answered", if it's the case, while those already answered would be removed from the upcoming editions' pool of questions by moderators, unless a change in context makes them relevant again.What do you think?

Sorry but i think an IRL meeting is completely out of the question unless you wanna witness 13 year old bald Wraith mains wearing monster energy snapbacks and streamer merch screeching about SBMM and the Wraith nerf while narutorunning up to the Respawn staff and stab them 20 times each with some cheap kunai.

@asukojo It's the community that should push up the questions by a popularity vote, otherwise people will say that mods are biased, picking only the convenient questions.

@Koochi-Q I already provided the spark so perhaps @Wingmannedbro has enough gasoline for a roasting?@MandatoryIDtag We need to first lure them in with simple questions like ''how did you get into game dev'' + ''what do you most enjoy about your job'' ect..Once they accept then we hand them the noose. xD

@apostolateofDOOMGood work comrade, we drink to mother Russia and spit the highly flammable liquid on the spark to set fire!@Warcanzwe know, that’s what makes this all the more fun@BigBlackCaustic Beautiful comment. I can actually see this happeningWe’ll all tie noozes!

How About A Town Hall With the Devs?

Since there are so many forum members wanting answers and a live discussion with devs, maybe a Town Hall held specifically for AHQ members would be an awesome thing to improve communication. Here's how I see it:

The Town Hall event would be set at a specific date, on monthly basis, with a different Respawn / EA members invited every time.
The topics would be set in advance: quality of life,general state of the game, balancing, cosmetics, sneak peek, lore, meet the devs, fan art, etc..
For each topic, forum members would come up with questions and / or vote for 3-5 existing questions.
During a Town Hall, a moderator would ask devs the top 3-5 rated questions of each topic, then allowing them a short break to formulate good answers.
Each short break could showcase top plays, fan art, merch, special promotions in game, sneak peeks or maybe some devs questions to the fans, to be answered at the end of the Town Hall or on the forums, until the next edition.
After each Town Hall, the forum mods would create a topic on the forum with all the asked questions and given answers, allowing us to give them XP or maybe introduce a rating system so we can rate each answer.
Unanswered questions would move to the next Town Hall editions or marked with a "cannot be answered", if it's the case, while those already answered would be removed from the upcoming editions' pool of questions by moderators, unless a change in context makes them relevant again.

That sounds really good, not sure if this is even possible but I love the idea.

I like the crux of the idea, logistically that would be a nightmare though.
Perhaps a dev livestream where they actually respond to most recent hot topics among the player base across the various forums, social media platforms etc.
Audio for example, i'd love to just hear them say "Yeah it's screwed, we know that.. we're looking into it and doing this this and this to try and resolve it"
Transparency goes a long way.

Our MOD can collect the questions from the forum.

@DoYaSeeMe This is probs how the Witch trials started. So I’ll bring the pitchforks in case we dont like the answers. Someone else should light the fires!
