I have a question for the devs
before i get into it , im not too sure how appropriate the question is or not but its something ive been wondering for a while, if anything happen it shouldnt belong on the forums i understand and it would be perfectly ok to remove the post entirely but here we go.
on this forum there are a bunch of different opinions of about many things…
sometimes there are always going to be things just annoying us or that we just need some venting about and heres what ive been wondering about.
is there anything the devs ever needs to vent about , get off their chests or just something they always wanted to share ? i mean as a community we pretty much hug the whole forum board for ourselves and rarely ask an actual oppinion about the people actually working on the game ( besides the complains which unfortunately they are way too much of and most of the time are usually just L2P issues lol
)
anyway , thats my question to the devs , whats the things you always wanted vent about, or to share
?
I’ll bite.
One of the things that sometimes makes me sad as a developer, and I think any person who works in a public, creative space can attest to this, is when people assume that we’re completely incompetent or have the worst intentions with a change that we try to make to improve the game.
It can be saddening to work on a project for a long time to only see discussion devolve into assuming we have the worst intentions or haven’t put any real care into what we put out. The people here are incredibly passionate and our internal discussions almost always come back to what we think will make the most fun, best game possible, and seeing those efforts be translated into statements like “they just don’t care about the game” can be disheartening.
Anyone who knows me can attest that I have pretty thick skin, but even i’ll admit that the job at times is harder than expected due to how easy it can be to be sucked into negativity, particularly if you spend too much time and effort reading into opinions on the internet.
Constructive feedback is fine, and when used properly is an important tool for improving your craft, but too much negativity is infectious, and when it’s your life’s work that you’re reading about day and and day out it takes a conscious effort to have proper perspective so that you don’t get sucked into having an overly negative outlook.
