I'd really like to see more frequent updates about what fixes the team is working on, even if they don't have anything conclusive to say yet about exactly when something will be fixed. I think that kind of thing would be appreciated by many-- it doesn't have to wait until there's a complete announcement of a fix for the community to appreciate knowing about it.

Well said. With things the way they were we had no idea if a bug was even on their to do list, let alone being actively worked on.

I would also really appreciate if we got word about major game changes like the recent changing of lifespans before they're put in the game :sweat_smile:

like that pretty much impacts everyones game and not a word was mentioned before it was already in game and causing the aging bug destroying save files

it just leads to mistrust like how can i know when the next bomb drops and sweeps my whole save when theres not even announcement that something was changed

I wonder why the account was made all the way back in May but we're just now getting the first tweet?

Of course all the replies on twitter are a random salad of requests for bug fixes :( it's totally impossible to track bugs that way so I don't anticipate much engagement between the team and the replies/conversation.

We will see what kind of engagement there will be, they have the possibility to reply to the posts that have the most likes or issues that they would like to direct people to.

YES! This is an excellent point and that change led to a lot of confusion when it was released. This feedback was the first thing I brought up when this account was initially being discussed :)

I mean something else they could do as well is actually comment on Answers HQ. The fact that there is no way to see the progress of the bug, other than whether it is in Solved or Needs Saves status, probably discourages many people from utilizing Answers HQ to report and track bugs-- it looks like no one cares for months, until suddenly they announce a fix.

(or goes on the laundry list, but there are only laundry lists every few months too)

Are they doing away with the forums as our source of information?????????

Frankly, the forum hasn't been the major source of TS4 news for years. This forum is almost *always* days (and sometimes longer) behind what you can find out on Twitter.

The wants and fears button is still broken after the update.

You have got to be kidding me.

Just tested it. They still reappear after coming out of CAS for me.
