I don’t expect anything to be done with this seeing as all I got last time was we are looking into this but last chance to keep me as a player

Here’s a pic of me killing @cerulean tulip to get his attention

[hollow shale]

There’s no way in hell you play in that darkness

[azure fable]

No it was a bug I had for like an hr

[hollow shale]

Sometimes mine is very bright, then other times dark. Without even touching the graphics settings

[azure fable]

It was the first hr of wipe

Yea idk why it’s like that

[hollow shale]

No idea tbh I’ll file a bug report if it persists

[azure fable]

My best guess is it’s a level issue the game wants to be dark in different layers and can’t figure out where we are

I have to lower graphics to keep it visible

[hollow shale]

No sometimes the pre lobby is dark, and sometimes the pre lobby is bright, the actual caves map is always normal I’ll update tomorrow

[quasi marlin]

I wish we could set it that bright, my phone will not show me anything if I play this outside or riding shotgun lol

[azure fable]

Are we getting answers to this or is it pointless to even bring it up @cerulean tulip

[hollow shale]

Will update later

[azure fable]

What you mean

[hollow shale]

The lighting differences.

[azure fable]

Oh they are having an update coming?

[hollow shale]

Bro, our talk from literally yesterday.

[hollow shale]

Damn bro, keep up.

At least I got a good memory.

This isn’t even a thread for lighting issues, we just made it one LOL.

I’m saying later on I will show you the difference in between some of my matches lightings

[azure fable]

No im following I thought you were saying you know of an update to fix it

[hollow shale]

No no haha

[azure fable]

Ohh

[hollow shale]

Yes I told you last night I’d show ya.

Never forgot haha

[azure fable]

Yea

Haha

You know it makes me sad no response to this I’d even accept them saying we don’t care stop complaining at this point

I know a cm has seen this

[hollow shale]

The difference between two starting lobbies? Didn’t touch the graphics once.

[azure fable]

Idk that is crazy tho

[hollow shale]

In game looks like this

Always. Never bright.

[hollow shale]

But the lobby occasionally goes bright

[azure fable]

@cerulean tulip do we have a response to all these posts yet?

[azure fable]

@winter geyser @final fox @vapid valve @stable bluff

Maybe one of y’all

[azure fable]

I’m just gonna tag all the cms once a day until someone does their jobs

[quasi marlin]

They will mute you eventually id wager. They probably saw it and just didn't want to get involved verbally.

[azure fable]

I mean someone has to address it im not gonna play or spend my money if it isn’t fixed so we’ll see like I said I just want a response even if it we don’t know what we are doing please stop expecting the basics

@cerulean tulip if y’all aren’t gonna say anything dm me who I need to be tagging

@gentle crypt maybe you can let us know

[hollow shale]

Bro take it easy, it will all be addressed in time. Also I don’t want to see you banned, you will get a warning for spamming them.

[azure fable]

@cerulean tulip @stable bluff @final fox @vapid valve good morning

[azure fable]

Banned for what

[hollow shale]

Spam lol 😂

[azure fable]

Well I’ll just say that if they just ban me it makes my decision that much easier so win win

[azure fable]

Besides I don’t think it’s spam saying good morning every morning

[hollow shale]

Okay bro

[dusty quarry]

Community managers cant do shit to convince the devs. Their jobs are to try to manage the community, which honestly, i hope they getting paid well, because this dumpsterfire has got to be on the tougher side to manage. They've must likely already reiterated the concerns of the playerbase to the dev team multiple times(we have a poll to show how fucking glaring this issue is).

Their job is to keep the playerbase from being a septic waste pool, not to make the developer see reason.

[azure fable]

Well they are our only way to contact devs

And if they are getting paid it’s time for them to get something done about it

Good afternoon @vapid valve @stable bluff @final fox @cerulean tulip

[azure fable]

Any word yet @vapid valve @stable bluff @final fox @cerulean tulip @gentle crypt

I’ll check back in an hr

[dusty quarry]

Bro you're going to get banned and deserve it for being an ass.

[azure fable]

Man I don’t care at this point

[dusty quarry]

Then stop being an ass. I'm on the verge of quitting too, but you don't see me spamming torch with pings

[azure fable]

Hey man you can leave I’m not telling you what to do lmao gtfo

[azure fable]

@vapid valve @stable bluff @final fox @cerulean tulip I’m going to bed hope to hear from one of y’all in the am

[hollow shale]

I warned you first.

[cerulean tulip]

Thank you all for joining the discussion in this thread, really appreciate it. Let me take a moment to clarify a few things!
Our community team typically works during weekdays, so that’s when we’re able to respond. This means I’m not around 24/7, especially not on weekends. Like the devs, we’re regular folks with normal working hours!

If you ever need a quicker response, feel free to reach out via @cobalt arch , our moderators are always around to help, as noted in the #🧙│help channels.

Also, thank you for the feedback you’ve shared.. we’ve read it carefully. That said, it’s not always possible for us to reply to every message one by one. Still, please know that your thoughts are being heard. We regularly share community feedback with the dev team through various channels, polls, Q&As, and especially through our mentors and moderators who help gather your voices.

We truly appreciate when players speak up with care and passion. Just kindly allow us a bit of time, we’re doing our best to make sure your feedback reaches the right people. Thank you again, and I hope you have a peaceful and relaxing weekend !!

[azure fable]

This is such a large nothing response what a joke of a team firstly you had asked us to make these posts on Thursday (I think) and on Friday when one of yall deleted my post and I made a stink you linked it in the general chat so no you did not respond and I posted this in your working hrs

[azure fable]

I’m just asking for one of y’all to tell us we are wasting our time none of us are gonna wait for half the season to be over for your dev team to sort out how to balance games

[kind idol]

Is that all you’re asking? We are players also, and we noticed the changes with a cringe aswell. Atleast the ranger is feeling nicer now! So is the cleric! And a ton of mage changes to guide players away from TS Spam.

We must alway remember we are playing a pre-release. Intended for helping gauge and make change! We can only hope such adamant developments continue into the future! We can only hope the balancing and attention continue. A ton of content was released, through skill tree and skill gems, through arena. And the shadow realm soon. My assumption is the late release of the pve is due to mechanical issues, and I’m sure they are working diligently on that!

Balance is not easy.

[azure fable]

so much I want to respond but I’m at work it’ll be a bit but it’ll take a bit

[kind idol]

In life we only have control of our perspective and our reaction. Choose to look away from the “op barb” discussion. View the costumes, the charm update, the constant Small Balance Tweaks, see this as continued support and a dedicated team. It’s difficult to give concrete answers to the questions you’re asking for. Instead: view the abstract reality. They are putting forth effort, we can only hope this continues through the longevity of the game past preseason development.

[azure fable]

Balance decisions aren’t covered by “we are a new game” nor is the fact that cms refuse to answer the question as I have said in every post I talk about this the game is over all wonderful I can live with non responsive cms but you tell me does the balance changes make sense to you

[azure fable]

This is such a nonsensical comment it’s like me complaining to a business about snakes on their floor and them telling me I know our store is unusable right now but we have new products in the back

[kind idol]

I tell you I see progress and am optimistic

[azure fable]

I mean for goodness sake they said they were fixing vig stacking and they game free vig to everyone

[kind idol]

🤣

Yeah

I didn’t say i like the changes. I said im glad to See changes. It shows dedication and commitment to the project

[azure fable]

@vapid valve @stable bluff @final fox @cerulean tulip @gentle crypt good afternoon

[kind idol]

This will get you no where

[azure fable]

Brother Iv posted about since the start of s2 they have yet to address it and when I complained again they tell me to make this post and still have yet to address it even after I make a 3rd post

[azure fable]

I’m not the only post here unaddressed

Honestly I would stop if they had pow wows you know a big voice call everyone can join we are all muted and we can ask questions

That would really make a lot of us feel heard

I feel like I can’t get my point across well in text chat because the way I type looks frantic hah

[dusty quarry]

I think it's more the temper tantrums tbh

[azure fable]

Lmao temper tantrum

[azure fable]

@cerulean tulip is it business hours

[azure fable]

@vapid valve @stable bluff @final fox is it y’all’s business hrs?

[final fox]

@azure fable Hey, as CM Torch mentioned, we try our best not to work during weekends or post work hours. I personally was off on Friday so I was unable to see this thread. I appreciate your passion for the game and you are heard. We create weekly sentiment/feedback reports to relay to the devs so rest assured that your frustrations and suggestions are being seen and considered. Please remember that we are in early access and the devs cannot address and fix complaints/bugs in a blink of an eye - -especially something like balance which is a lot more complex than it might seem. I'm sure you know but every change affects a ton of interconnected systems—stats, abilities, gear, progression, and even how characters interact in different team compositions or game modes. Something that might look like a simple stat tweak can actually create new issues elsewhere, sometimes even breaking things in ways we couldn’t predict. Especially as buggy as the game is, we wouldn't want to risk it without the proper protocols and testing. Please be patient as we work to create a better game and be respectful, as we do sincerely appreciate your feedback.

You also mention you will ping us "until one of us does our jobs"... out of curiosity, what do you expect us to accomplish to resolve the situation you mentioned? We have already addressed that we are considering your feedback and have relayed it to the developers. 😢 please be respectful!

[azure fable]

1 it is work hours that were listed both Thursday afternoon when I posted it Friday the following day and today Monday
2 none of the cm response that any post here has been responsive
3 im not looking for bug fixes the issue I raise aren’t bug honestly the game has been very good about fixing bugs quickly this is a balance issue Iv Meade this distinction very clear and by getting you to do your job is be a CM tell the community the devs are gonna fix their shit soon or tell us you guys don’t know how to balance a game so we can leave the reason your seeing this type of complaining is because aside from balance the game is wonderful but we can’t enjoy your wonderful game when barb is so oppressive

[azure fable]

Also you guys are professionals at sending books worth of replies while not saying anything

You guys seem to be ok with nerfing rogues and mages off the hip

Why not barbs?

[stable bluff]

Going to jump in here real quick, what answer are you looking for from the CM team? It's already been explained that the best we can do is tell the devs what the community is saying, after that it's out of our hands. So just curious, knowing this and being told this, what do you want the CMs to say?

Maybe we're not being clear in that the devs and cm are two completely separate teams with separate locations and jobs.

[azure fable]

So the only reason Iv been tagging you all is because one of the cm team told me to make this post here to get results then waited four day to tell me to wait for office hrs (understandable) but now you tell me you guys aren’t the ones to get anything done so who should I be in contact with

[azure fable]

Can you tag the devs then that way I can get some kind of answers I want them to say we have a fix inbound soon or for me to kick rock both are answers

[stable bluff]

Being completely honest with you, we're the link for players to devs and players to direct devs isn't something that can easily be done due to the amount of work they have. If you think we ignored you, devs are extremely busy coding and going over feedback reports and internal testing and balancing that they wouldn't be able to reply to you. I won't go over everything else that was said about time and patience because you already know that's how this works. The best thing we can do and the best thing that can happen is that you drop your feedback, we put that in our weekly reports, and the devs get around to it when they can.

That's the honest truth and telling you to kick rocks seems harsh but we won't get an answer any time soon. If you want to check back in a couple of weeks I would recommend that but even then, we (CMs) don't have any current insight into their priorities on what they are looking to balance. Remember that they also have internal game data that they take into account alongside player feedback.

[azure fable]

Ok I’m out if your devs are too busy to fix their game then idk what else the community needs but y’all sunk y’all’s game if the devs are”so busy”
