I recall that “we” changed start times to a day earlier so that the dev team could react live… well, one, they don’t react to anything live so that was a worthless change, but now we also have a PVE that routinely ends on the MOST MISSABLE DAY of the week, Saturday, and it’s an *Fing nightmare for alliances to deal with. The simple solution was to do the 3-day pve event at the start of the week and have the 4-day end. Easy easy. No problems. Worked really well last week! But now we’re back on the incredibly shittier schedule for NO REASON.
PLEASE put SOME dev (or just a PA, an intern, ANYONE!) on the scheduling issue. It’s been SO inconsistent and inane… this is the simplest thing you can do correctly for us and you can’t even manage that, WHY NOT!?
I no longer care if your new characters continue being confusing and worthless forever, please just make the trains come on time.
To me, after so used to the previous PVE scheduling, it takes a while to adjust. Still, not a fan of the new scheduling. But seems like the notion of the dev having better timing to handle issues is just moot, after seeing numerous issues and complaints but hardly any updates from the dev. Feels like the game is heading to the abyss ..
Devs also said they would keep providing updates until things stabilized. Since they haven’t provided an official update in over two months, one can only think they feel everything is stable.
Jeto has been putting out more updates lately, and communicates on behalf of the Dev. (directly with them)
We are getting weekly Boosted updates and some schedule information now as well.
TheMigz was out for a bit, and used to provide weekly Dev update posts.
We just got a Server update post from her today, and has been quite active in posting the last few days.
Admittedly the weekly Dev Update posts have dried up, and there were no official Release Dev notes posted on the forum for the last release. So there is room for improvement.
Doing one off posts and a boosted schedule, to me, is not what is needed. To me, and maybe this is only me, I don’t care about Jeto answering one offs or the Migz saying things every now and then. I want to understand where this game is going. And why I should continue to play and, more importantly, continue to put money into it. That just isn’t happening right now as far as I’m concerned. If others are ok with how communication is going, totally understand and can’t contradict that.
It’s really simple though: you should keep playing if you find it fun, and if you don’t find it fun anymore you should stop playing.
Don’t let them distract you with promises of stuff they might or might not ever do. Don’t fall into the trap of “well this sucks now but it’ll probably be fun sometime in the future!” Don’t spend a single second being frustrated or not enjoying something that’s fundamentally an unnecessary leisure activity.
Life’s way too short to waste time playing a phone game that isn’t fun.
