    I've been eating a bad feeling lately, and it's not great. I've always felt that there is feedback on your posts on the forum, especially as they are relevant and other factors make the issue acute and important for many. And it seemed to me that you can get an answer directly from the developers on the forum >(sometimes, very rarely) <. But watching the forum for some time, I don't see any feedback, and what I see I cannot call a full feedback. Dear moderators, please tell them that the level of feedback they give is equal to zero in cube. This is not even a statement of facts, and few people will be interested in a 30-second video with flies, even if they make cutlets. I'm waiting for 60 levl and I have very simple questions, but due to the lack of feedback I'm betting a lot on what's going on outside my window, I live in Lapland and there are blizzards. Maybe you will devote time to your community? And somehow you'll interact, not once in 10 years, but systematically. And not by throwing in a little video skill, but at least a little boyish answer to questions. If it's not real on this forum, tell me, where will it not look like a fairy tale? Now I am really angry at everything you do, I accidentally sold the chips on your anniversary that year, and because of the lack of technical support I could not restore anything. I can't find people for the egg fryer pharma, I can't write to tech support, I don't know if you're doing anything or bluffing, but I'm on your side for now. But I have a feeling you don't give a [EDIT] about who's in the same boat as you and who's pulling the funnel. I remember before the developers used to use a trick, they couldn't answer direct questions in detail, but they knew that fans expected news from them, so they would record videos of how they worked. It's just a short video of their faces being filmed by a third party, and usually not visible. I could see from their faces that they were working, or they were damn good actors! Give people a spectacle, without detail, if it's in your interest.

    I don't speak English, my level is 3+, so some of it may not be understandable if you don't read the whole text. If you don't understand anything at all, don't get upset, there are a lot of interesting activities on this planet of monkeys speaking different languages and dialects, just look for something else. Especially if you are too arrogant to be part of the planet and be a monkey.

    Bit of a struggle to read, but if you're saying what I think you're saying...

    Over the years, I've come to realize the forums seems to be the forgotten corner of this game for the developer team. Ironic, given that this is their own website. We used to get the odd reply on the CM threads at least, but that seems to have gone up in smoke too. Instead, if you really want a direct reply from someone who is actually on the payroll, you'd probably have better luck joining the masses shrieking on their social media sites.

    Based on what I'm reading, you're suggesting that perhaps they record and post clips of their work? Might not be a terrible idea, except I can see how if we catch a glimpse of something that later gets scrapped, there is a portion of this community will cry and beg until it gets added. So if they want to go that route, they'd have to be pretty careful what they show.

    You got it right. I come in here trying to understand where the developers' answers and other information are. What's gonna happen to the PvP, what's gonna happen to the social component and so on, will there be complex bosses' mechanics. I feel like I'm coming to an abandoned dead game forum. It's game anniversary, and there's a bug with a piñata. The second day I go to the forum waiting to see something like, "guys, we'll fix this in an hour" ... but I'm sure it'll be empty tomorrow too. I got a bad feeling, and if I'm right, I'd like to know something to create a plan of action.

    Ah, if it's answers directly from the development team you want, I'm afraid you're not going to find it here. The forums are more or less governed by moderators who obey the set rules. These moderators are players who volunteer their time. Information, ideas, etc are filtered by said moderators and passed up the chain of command.

    If you want something a little more direct, you might be able to find it on a different platform like Facebook, Instagram, Discord, etc. Personally, I don't pursue attention from those avenues, so I can't tell you which one is the most effective. Good luck, though. :)

    Hello @Valhöll , lets start with the Lor'tac golden pinata issue, it is known to the team, hopefully a fix will be applied in some shortly upcoming hotfix, a date for now is unknown, unfortunately, but it is expected to be really soon.

    In terms of your concerns about developers' reply on some upcoming changes, usually such announcements are made on the official Drakensang livestreams, you could check them out and they might help you clear your concerns a little; more specifically about your PvP change ask, indeed, an improvement is being planned, but it is too early to say yet, because everything is work-in-progress due to the huge Content Expansion.

    I hope i could answer to some of your questions and shed some light.

    The problem lies in the little things, in the attitude to the little things. After all, I could make time for the event, and then I could forget about the golden piñata.If I forget the piñata, who cares? I don't like to monitor the vacuum for weeks.

    As for the upcoming updates, my concerns are simple and I compare them to other projects because I have experience. It's not a closed project in the development phase, it's a ready-made mechanics and only four classes. Often gathering all the information about the upcoming game is enough to collect all the "marker" shots to understand how the developer watches people's reactions, and how it changes everything on the fly. Nobody wants to make a slag in which nobody is interested, (et cetera). Don't you think so? Also, even if you have the intention of answering my question, your answer is not "legal", we just dance without obligation, but I want to see people trying to answer for their fame and actions. Dude, that's not your burden.

    1. Will the awards be changed to pvp, maps, modes, balance.
    2. What is done to socialize the game. Perhaps the promised guilds will be able to fight. Now playing solo in it has become very boring.
    3. The number of drops kills (you need a macro to work). It is not clear what will happen next, I assume that there will be a simplification in improving the gems, upgrade with dust (it should have been done long ago).
    4. Will they do something about the bosses' mechanics? Will they still be such idiots (AI bosses)? Name me the complicated bosses in the game?
    5. My friend came into the game, I want to play with him, why not give the group the coefficient of strength and experience by means of averaging group statistics?
    6. Why on level 55 on inf4+ is the boss's power factor of the number of players so high? It is not profitable to take the full game. You need to go in two or three people. For jogs of 5 people there is no additional reward - no motivation.
    6. Perhaps we do not know something fatal?
    7. So you can sit around all day asking, and not get a single answer.

    Feedback should be sure, it should be like a membrane to capture the mood of people and evolve on the move. Now the feedback is stagnation + a piece of marble with the letters R.I.P. I want to believe, but it's hard to believe, and it's a bad sign.

    Could you introduce yourself?
    You come to the forum and you act like you own it ... plus your replies are showing up like you are boss in BP and you are involved in the decision making.
    Are you?

    For a start ... I don't know who is constructing your replies but the things are not working like you think.
    All players know how are things working in DSO ... you seem to be new in the world of DSO. :)

    I honestly thought at first that your quote was added to make it a nickname (for some reason my nicknames are too big) and I even managed to answer a little bit, a little bit in the style of Tupac Shakur) I do not speak the language, that is, I can communicate in the parish communicating with primitive gestures) and when you made a paragraph, it seemed to me that you say that I am too arrogant and fucked up with my questions. I don't know if that's true, I don't know what the state of relations between people in the forum and so on is. And most importantly, I may not know the rules of the language according to which (development: why it could be so). I'm sorry, but I didn't even swear like Tupak Shakur, so he could do it almost 100% =). Well, if this question is directed to me, I will save what I wrote earlier ;)

    P.S. Evolution has been very cruel to us, giving so many languages and dialects. It may have helped us in some way before (its own - foreign), now it is wildly disturbing. Especially if you don't have time and intelligence to learn at least 5 languages. (sorry about the offtop and of course it's a joke)

    P.P.S. Once again, I apologize, and anyway, I am not defending my name or nickname, I am defending my opinion and what I think is important. Maybe it will change, but it is possible only through a constructive dialogue. I really don't want to be a boxing pear.
