Most of the time I have the feeling that the Development Team has no idea of the real issues that are truly threatening this game.
@EA_Andy I believe you deliver to the Team, I am just not confident in how they interpret our data if none of them can even experience the issues.
With @EA_Andy having no knowledge of party rose being unobtainable, tells me that the players are not adequately able convey their issues on these forums.
The only reason I can come up with that explains why such a post doesn't exist, is because there's a lack of communication between the developers and the community managers, making such a post impossible.
The thing is, I have no idea how to have "good communication" between developers. I have a very large list of bugs that threaten the performance of the game though I have zero access to a way to deliver it to them directly meaning most of them are probably going to linger. I find it strange that I find @EA_Andy on a few posts in the same section as the one with many Party Rose posts yet he is not informed of it despite one being a "hot thread" right now.
I spend myself on this forum trying to help others as it seems nobody else is able to or is just plain unwilling to. This is what I find irritating. I just want to know if my presence here is actually worth it. Sure, I can help around two or three people a day to understand glitches such as the "Wave 8" glitch though I am sure many thousands beyond contact are experiencing the same thing, suffering without any form of way for me to help.
I have actually given up on these forums lately because it seems all we talk about is Hit Detection, Party Rose and all the modes that keep breaking on us to no avail. We get no confirmation that these things are being worked while we are actively trying to report them over and over and over....well you get the picture. I come here 2 times a day now instead of checking constantly when the game first came out.
I feel like I've wasted my time to be honest.
Imagine if we all stayed silent, said nothing, endured all these bugs and crashes. Would the devs ever fix anything?
We are here and should be acknowledged and if every issue was addressed and put into a section controlled and modded by developers then the same repetitive threads wouldn't pop up. I'm then spending my time responding to the same threads whilst the ones I've made are being spammed onto pages 4, 5 and 6 or wherever the heck they are now.
Then, I see the same threads by people who don't even know how to use the search feature and I see the same threads created that I've created being made. The game is a joke in its current state, they haven't taken these issues serious enough to even warrant an official response to the bugs in it. They don't even know of their own issues, every game developer should be stomping out these themselves, and shouldn't rely on players to do their jobs for them. I think EA have ruined PopCap to be honest, probably forced them to rush their game and they all look wrecked in their videos, it's just a business project to you guys and one that has failed to most of us because we have had enough of the bugs and crashes.
Even when they patched it last time there were no posts regarding bugs that were fixed and most of it had to go and test to see if they're all still there only to find they are, and more. That is counter productive to me, and so is this post.
I am more annoyed of the fact people are reporting all these bugs, issues and balancing issues and then leaving. That's what will happen in any game where there are no developers acknowledging them, there will only be a handful left at this rate.
