State of the Game - Dungeon flavour

#1 - March 19, 2013, 9:36 a.m.

Since I got infracted for my first post about this I assume I’m just not allowed to mention any names this time. (if this is against the “rules” again instead of being given a copy and paste response can I actually get a reply to how I can make this thread viable without it being locked again)

Much like sPvP and GWGuru have their state of the game livestream, Is this something we could possibly work towards doing with the dungeon team?

Not to insult but I feel the amount of discussion about changes and interaction from the team is pretty low apart from the odd post in the stickies.
We all want to be able to help give feedback and also just have a little bit of dedicated time to get some burning questions answered. Waiting a month for the next patch only to find there is no real content makes me not want to continue playing.

Is this something we could maybe set up like a 20 minute stream each month with a few of the team members? I’ve tried PM’s but everyone’s inbox is full.

Thanks
Dinky

Thanks for reminding me to clean out my inbox. I was starting to wonder why I wasn’t getting any new messages from people. Inbox clean now!

As for state of the game stuff, we here at Anet don’t host or coordinate those. I asked our community team about the potential to do it, and they expressed openness to it, but we don’t farm that stuff out – the community has to come to us with the offer I guess. We just kind of show up and answer questions I guess, lol.

interview and all that sort of stuff has to go through our community team. There’s no way I can personally commit to any of that stuff since it’s a public relations thing.

I try to browse as many threads as I can, and certainly bigger ones more quickly grab my attention, but I’m not a forum mod or something like that – I’m a developer dev – I spend my day building stuff, so I can’t post in every thread or even as many as I’m sure you all would like me to. I do what I can, and I’m sorry it isn’t more.

As for FoTM, there isn’t much I can say about it. Yes we have plans to keep doing stuff for it like new fractals, and more agony resistance will be released in time… aside from that there’s really not much to say. FoTM is in a good place, and ever since we resolved the reconnect issues with it, there hasn’t been many complaints aside from that players can’t get to high scales as easily anymore, which is something we intended in the first place but that players found exploits around.

Thanks for the feedback, Strifey, but let’s try to keep this thread on topic. We’re well aware of people’s feelings towards the Maw chest and RNG with it, and we are monitoring it closely.

please keep this thread focused on the topic, not about fractals.
