Why so serious??

Ok I have a question

Devs: Here's a new game with unique bosses and mechanics/zones
Player: Races through everything. WTH not enough content give me more i was able to do this to fast.
Dev: Makes changes to current content to slow things down, try to balance things out.
Player: WTH devs now it's taking to long to do what I did before this is just useless bloat i want new content!!
Devs: puts out new content, and makes some more changes in hopes to level the playing field and smooth it out.
Player: WTH you guys suck this isn't the content I wanted!!! Pfft your game is worthless you devs should give up....you suck.
Devs: Gives a more accurate time frame of things yet to come so they are at least completing what they say when they say it or as close to that time frame as possible.
Player: WTH you guys are so damn slow, you don't know what your doing. My 8 yr old could program better than you (yet I have no idea what i'm talking about and just saying this cause i'm angry cause your not giving me what i want)


Seriously when did our mentality become so little. Back when UO and EQ first came out people were i don't know, calmer, more understanding, not so egocentric / know it all. When did our society get so childish and my way or the highway? Don't give me the whole AAA team compared to a indie dev either cause back then this was brand new territory / first of its kind.

This game is different, its unique and its not like every other thing out there. There are a lot that are going through this mentality though and i just don't understand. Now I know there are bad devs out there, but devs like these guys are the ones we should be supporting, not the ones who blatantly take our money then drop the game like a hot potatoe.

Or keep recreating over and over the same game just with a slightly different name and suckering people into re-buying it with false hopes and honeyed lies. (bless online/unleashed, Arche Age anyone?)

It’s the millennial age, where people have everything handed to them on a silver platter. So, they expect it from everyone.

I don't think people have changed much at all. Perhaps the internet just makes it easier to people to expose their feelings?

It isn't as though the forums are flooded with this kind of thing. Perhaps at times in the past but certainly not now. Feels kind of late to be tooting a horn about the issue.

In the long run I have learned to ignore such posts in general. I think a lot of the root of the issue is that the game is so well done, and hits the right spot for so many people who play a wide variety of games, that people just love it so much they want more of it.

I think it is great that they love the game so much they hate on it for not having more. It just shows their level of love!!

Don't take the hate so seriously.

I do feel bad for the devs who probably do take this stuff more personally, I am sure they can't help being human and all. But they should stand proud for their creation. Try to take pride in the naysayers as well... if they truly didn't like it they would never take the time to complain.

People have always been people. If folks back in the day had access to a platform where they could anonymously say whatever they want and be seen by millions with little or no repercussions, they would have.

This really can't be the first time you've come across people who demand instant gratification, can it?

Selfishness, entitlement, impatience and spoiled.

Games followed the same trend as society. Go go go go go go....rat race mentality.

Mods are now easy to make. With some time and effort you can change a lot of games to be just the way you like. People lazy my take.

It has been this way since before you were born, calm your outrage. Just because you did not see or more likely do not remember the screaming from consumers 'back in the day' does not mean that it was absent.

Doom 2 was called 'too similar', 'too different', 'a fresh take'. Call of Duty was panned because 'Doom clones are losing sight of what they should be' and 'Doom clones are too conservative and need to change the formula'. And yes, even in the 2000s some people were clinging to 'Doom clone' as a term.

We get it, you like the game, but people wanting things to their tastes is as old as humanity.

true i guess your right. i just wish these people understood the hard work that is required for a game like this. Hell, even minecraft is complicated just different requirements on making it.

I think it's actually a mixture of:

- questionable parenting
- people blowing off steam, directed at the first easy target
- entitlement that they believe the customer is king/queen
- perpetuating their own online personality to fit in with their self-styled stereotype*
- people that feel they can get away with being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, because their actions aren't being held accountable

*For example, there was this teenage girl on social media, told everyone her mom is a ♥♥♥♥♥, and her life sucks. Then someone found out that she actually lives a great life and she has a great relationship with her mom. The reason why she did this on social media, was to 'fit in' with her 'friends'. When her mom found out, she closed all of her social media, and later created an apology video that basically said she was being an idiot to fit in.

I find a lot of people are like this unfortunately.

Well to be fair, I think even the vocal majority have spoken in this games favor. Just look at the approval rating, the reviews. etc. Sure there are some negative, but an overwhelming majority are positive.

I can somewhat agree with that but that just seems like a bland excuse. It literally feels like this part of our community / gamers is all ADHD, egotistical, know it all bullies. This is what i see when these people slam devs that are honestly trying and communicating. versus Surprise!! blesh unleashed just announced they are selling all rights to another company that is known for many dead games.

So why do we lash out at Devs like this when we should support them? At least until they prove that they no longer are developing and have abandoned the game.
