Why Popcap is not even trying to repair BfN

BfN has got a lot of bugs, unbalanced things and toxic community, but Popcap doesn't even care about feedback from BfN community.

The biggest problem of BfN is that Popcap isn't trying to repair things that annoy players, but Popcap gives us new features thinking that they will be so funny that we wouldn't be annoyed by annoying things, but these new features are making BfN worse


By saying toxic community i mean:

-People who use brain basher to get in fight, kill one person, and then run through the whole map so you can't kill them. Even legendary combo Groody goop + Burrow isn't working
-People who use warp to go into fight, then kill one person, then start warping left and right, then heal themselfs, then ran with warp. (This wouldn't be annoying if these scientist would play suport, but they are not, i will say if you play suport character and you are not reviving and healing others then you are annoying as steam blaster kids

-People who go in fight, use all abilities and run

-People who are tauting (if you taunt someone who deserve it [like he was running whole map to not kill you, or tried to insta kill everyone] you are not toxic)

-People who go in fight and then use instakill ability to get kill, and then run (Mostly chompers, nightcaps, super brainz and scientist do this)

-People who use "legendary" Groody goop + burrow combo

For me the only way to repair this toxic community is giving us ability to private play like in GW2 (with private play you could play with bots and bots are okay) because battle chest quickly starts to be boring

If you want to tell me something @me

    @Tristuu I agree, it’s both popcap’s and part of the community’s fault. Popcap hates listening to their own players, it’s very easy. Sometimes the players know more then the developers. Instead of fixing bugs and such, they like adding like 50 new customizations every update like it will make a difference to the other parts of the game. Part of the community is flat out toxic to the devs but the other part of the community are actually reasonable and give constructive criticism isn’t of being mean.

    @TristuuI've lost hope for the game, I should have seen it coming with how they handled the last of gw2's updates and I should have been more critical during founders then just trying to ignore my gut feeling. They add prize maps which don't really add anything that should already just be in the reward o tron and they haven't given any information if these objects will return outside of rux (come on popcap I thought Bethesda was the worst at monetizing a buggy online game) besides legendary upgrades currently breaking gameplay with how they designed characters to be one focus and its become obvious that they are rushing things to keep players around such as the island which had to be pulled back due to bugs, ops phase 3 hasn't been mentioned yet and honestly what's it going to do? Restore ops back to a better version of itself which should have been in the game at day one? They're going to bring this already sorry excuse of a glorified bug to switch a system that will probably suffer even more than pc in player count without crossplay. The pve was fun but everyone practically finished that during or a little bit after founders and it becomes very repetitive with the ai feeling very wonky at times. Also the instakills are a sympton of a bigger problem with how they now have decided to balance classes by giving them all instakills, healing, or escape abilities made worse by being able to sprint away from combat then regenerate.

    @Tristuu About the Brainium Basher part, getting in a fight, kill someone, and run away, that is a fair and not annoying playstyle, it's other things that makes this upgrade toxic.

    Hit and Run is a playstyle, not an annoyance.

    @Tristuu Simple they don't care about bfn unlike gw1&2 sadly. I went back to playing gw1&2 because they are more fun than bfn.

    Taunts, targeting and disbalance are the only really toxic things . Other stuff is either a tactic or not accepting your own demise.

    @GutmanSca  Hit and run is annoying, if you use it with brainum basher 9001, branum basher super brainz is too fast to kill before running

    @Cameroid07 Yeah I can at least still enjoy gw1 and 2 despite popcap dropping the ball on 2's last few updates, like walnut hills may be full of bugs but at least its not crashing on me like bfn.

    @Tristuu I think its fair to say that the patches the game has got throughout its lifespan have made very little change. Slight adjustments to damage, speed, and projeciles, and fixing bugs pretty much sums it up. Its like the game is being treated like its a near finished product, when it isn't. And they probably know about the numerous bugs, but the PVP and combat is definitely not finished. However, the Trello board is saying there will be a patch at the end of the month. Maybe one that will make some serious positive changes?
