What do you want them to do, show up at your doorstep with a royal decree and a town crier?

Except that the methods they are now using to share "information" is:

1) Not easily accessible to all players (especially non-English speakers)

2) A terrible inefficient use of time (a 20 minute video - or the most recent 90 minute one for a few sentences of actual information)

3) Almost impossible to reference or disseminate to others (other than "click here to watch a 20 minute video).

But yeah, other than that, your complete straw man and utter misrepresentation of the complaints is dead on.

I don't think I've ever seen you write something that doesn't amount to "I hate this game." Why are you even playing anymore? It's just a constant spewing of toxicity and negativism for the past year.

Lol - apparently, that's how I know I'm fair. Once or twice a week I get called a shill and once or twice a week I'm told I hate this game. Also an interesting point considering that in the Ships 2.0 thread I am defending the current ships system, while you are the one railing against it.

I also noticed you didn't address any of the points I made, and instead opted for personal attacks instead of a reasoned argument.

Didn't respond to this because it was a crazy day at work. Didn't respond to the earlier part because it's always the same--"This change is bad, sith raid is bad, all changes are bad, bounty hunters will be bad, rewards are bad, the way they communicate is bad, blah, blah, blah." Have you ever considered that maybe you just don't like the game? There's a whole bunch of games out there that you might like, go find one of them.

They gave us the information at the same time they always do, about a week before the character is released. All the rigamarole about videos and podcasts and whatever is just teaser information. It's bonus. It's a direct response to people's requests. You don't like that, sure, fine, whatever, water is wet, we get it.

There's been information in the videos that still hasn't gotten any notice here whatsoever.

Quests, for example.

Yeah, and we'll get that when it's closer to release. Good Lord, people, it's called drawing conclusions. Try it sometime.

Ok so why did Carrie post about ship changes in The Road Ahead but not Quests?

Honestly I don't really care that much. I hate how much complaining the forum does as much as anyone, so it would be hypocritical of me to complain about this. My life will go on. It's just a little annoying, that's all.

Quests? What are these or where can I learn about them?

See this is my point. ;)

The link seems not to be working anymore

*removed*

i blame ea_jesse, he's the one who was a guest on this podcast first ! ;)

I just happen to listen to this podcast every week so I'd rather this than a video.

With that said, this is still a terrible way to go. Forum posts as well, please.

Agree the videos/podcast followed by a write-up is way to go. They should not be resistant to that format. I also listen to this podcast - it's solid and normally moves at a good pace. When I commute in and lose cell service it's a solid listen. Contract abilities sound great but maybe hard to keep track of - feel like for longer fights they may just happen and will be hard to manage with all the taunts, changes to TM, etc.

A Charakter reveal on a Podcast where you can't even reread the abilities yourself is the most **** thing they have done so far with those interviews

it's called pen and paper. write it down if you want to reread it right away. it will be coming out in text form with the release, so if you want to wait til then, then just be a little patient. there is nothing preventing you from hitting pause on a podcast and rewinding in case you missed something. I for one loved hearing the dev's excitement as they detail what the changes are! great job CG!

There are also people who do not understand English very well.
Especially if you are not used to listening in English everyday.

A native English speaker listens to him in an hour, for the others it is very difficult to put so "little" time.
In addition to deaf people who can not have official information from the developers.

I think these are good reasons to release a written format in concomitance with audio and video's traces.
