It seems the only 22Cans employee with the guts to look at the forum today is Raspofabs. George has his online status hidden & it is a saturday, so they aren't actually meant to be working today. We (mods) can see all those that are invisible on here.  Matthew was on here for a bit, and did make a few posts after Ba'al's comment to clarify. |

Sneaky mods... maybe he logs off and sits on a guest account to read things? Like a true ninja!

I would think after the mobile release on thursday and the PC release on friday they would put in more time to keep an eye on the community in the days following.

I am highly disappointed by the outcome of update but I guess I am still a bit naive at times. I feel bad for the PR and CMs of 22cans after this one. I am sure they are in for some rough days ahead.

I think they'll be focusing on bug reports sent directly to them & making sure anything mobile goes smoothly. While the PC update did come out yesterday, it's still pretty minor compared to the full mobile release. With mobile, they really don't get much of a second chance, if it's going to be big, it has to hit big now (and does seem to be going ok from the charts). www.appannie.com/apps/ios/top/?device=iphone lists it as 3rd highest free app in the US, which sounds pretty decent to me. |

As long as it's stable I think this will do rather well as an f2p app. People will pay money to progress to find ours what happens. It's really frustrating on the PC as there are some things that work but it's all wrapped up in a big bundle of frustration that really pisses me of F&P. I feel sorry for 22cans but they keep digging the hole deeper. A quick hotfix increasing the generation of belief would go a long way right now.

I would think after the mobile release on thursday and the PC release on friday they would put in more time to keep an eye on the community in the days following. I worked a full day (as in, if I was awake I was working) Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and now today.  There's just tons of channels that have blown up with activity over the weekend. In the last 60 minutes alone I've had 84 Twitter notifications, 22 Facebook messages, 48 Facebook comments, 12 forum private messages, and I haven't even checked YouTube comments yet. At the time of writing this post we've received 1,853 messages to Support (and no, those aren't all bug reports or complaints, you pessimists you). 1,385 of them have already been solved (even more replied to), and that's pretty amazing considering that we don't have every single staffer on hand for over the weekend. So we're doing pretty well there. I also have a ginormous report to put together for the team Monday, so much of my day will be generating that. This includes detailed analytics of every social media channel, top bugs, the most critical areas of feedback from the community (balancing, anyone?), a press round-up, top community threads, and a few dozen other things I shan't bore you all with. ANYWAY, all that to say that I'm still lurking around on the internets. I do try to pop into the forums in between all that (cause that's largely where I prefer to interact with the community anyway) but it's just been a whirl wind of crazy. On the plus side, it's been very encouraging to see so much activity. Contrary to what one might think, there's been a good bit of positive responses both on PC and mobile throughout all the various comms channels. So it's been a really nice mix of bug reports, praise, game strategy questions, feedback, tempered complaints or frustrations, and general questions. Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna need a nice bottle of scotch once all this dust settles. Next week... |

Best of luck, Matt. You're all going to need it (and that scotch).
Because I like you, I'll forgo my frustration and desire to just move on, and I'll actually put together a document with all my feedback on this update - and the game in general - and pass it on through the support channel; I figure it'll take me a few days, what with work and still sloughing my way through the game. I'm gonna need a stiff drink afterwards too.

I planned to anyhow. lol. |

So I made a big old post compiling all the feedback threads I could find in the main discussion forum on Steam, as well as the gameplay subforum. Not even kidding here, I didn't try to filter out any of the positive threads, there just weren't all that many that were terribly constructive. |
