The CUSTOMERS do NOT approve of the changes that have been presented to them.
Go back to your meeting room, and discuss what the CUSTOMERS actually WANT from your studio in terms of changes to the game THEY PAID YOU to play.
FREE TIP: Make changes that are behind the 8 ball and you scratch. AGS is NOT listening to the majority of gamers who actually PLAY THE GAME STILL. They are listening to the minority of squeaky wheels and the grease will cause the cogs to fly off the machine if applied too liberally.
The only real issue here is that the game was released 3 month to early. If this was a beta and the game was released next year with all these changes it would have been perfect. Now people get very butthurt. Personally I am pretending it’s an open beta where I get to keep my progression and I enjoy everything that happens. It’s an epic rollercoaster.
They are listening to the feedback and that’s why this is being such a roller coaster.
People complained about you not needing to grind bc you would just buy from TP cheap and done. Hence why HWM was garbage endgame
TP economy leaving it player base will always go to the lowest because people will always undercut you and the amount of gear dropped hastened the deflation. They nerfed chests and we got an outrage.
They reverted chests and the problem just went back to the same state.
They have added a lot of ideas that comply with some requests and people now forget about these and continue clamoring for more and more when essentially many of this issues are coming from listening feedback and are causing more bugs.
It sounds like I’m saying they need to stray away from user feedback and in fact, I am. They should have at least until they fixed the majority bugs.
Seriously, adding new stuff over when your base is suffering from quite a chunk of bugs is not a good idea. They seriously needed to step aside and focus on solving all these before throwing new stuff, looking for game health changes.
I get they probably have internal release date, roadmaps to comply with. But it has been proven this is creating more chaos
