@phong While I see where you're coming from, femto has a point. It's not useful feedback when someone's reason for quitting FAF is that they don't want their team to matter in a team game. We more or less stopped getting "useful" or new feedback in this thread a long time ago.
All that said, I don't disagree with you either and the more experienced and veteran people like myself should be mindful of that, at least on the reasonable takes even if they're not necessarily accurate.
Femto's point hinges on what "useful" means. The info in here could be useful to faf policy makers to shape policy, or to other players, to shape behavior. Even if it's not useful to you that doesn't mean it's OK to discourage more responses. And it begs the question, why argue the matter? What possible reason does one have to contradict a player on why they're quitting? It gives off "scorned lover" vibes if anything.
Nine2 is like the nice guy asking everyone why they won't play with us anymore and every time someone speaks up there's a bunch of dudes screaming "you're dumb i'm glad you're leaving we didn't want to play with you anyway".
Can you please not?
Nobody would care if you just acted normal. Acting like this is some rare useful thread forever desecrated. It's funny.
@ftxcommando I'm just expressing my wish for less shitposts man, hopefully some people will consider it. Not you of course, my hopes are not set that high.
Oh no, phong shows off that he actually doesn't give a shit about any of the highbrow concepts he pretends to value and instead just needles people because he is little better than the people he pretends he isn't.
You can express a desire for people to treat each other with respect while simultaneously recognizing that a particular individual generally does not do that.
On a related note, and to answer the main question: general abrasiveness in the community, see here for a concentrated example among many.
I'm not a hugely competitive player so balance tends to be abstract for me. Haven't had a big problem with connectivity. Even ingame shittalking comes with the territory--people getting pissed when they lose and blaming their teammates is pretty universal.
But in a niche community, seeing people get trashed as a matter of course makes me question who I'm associating with. It also has the knock-on effect of making generally reasonable people testy in response.
Can't come into a thread bemoaning about how people ruin a useful thread and then intentionally attempt to prod a person to derail the thread further.
My post was about why I would have left FAF. The reply to your comment was incidental. If you felt my observations of your behavior as a component of a larger problem was an attempt to prod you, I applaud you for not taking the perceived bait.
You pinged me right after a convo sorta involving what you talked about, don’t get why you would ping me about your personal reasons for leaving unless it was directly responding to said conversation.
My response was made in that context, wasn’t even a response directed at you.
@nine2 1. because the game does not change. any proposals are rejected. the same thing is boring.
@snoog First we need to decide what our goal is. Grow your audience? Then you need to simplify the game and make it more fun. But any simplification will be perceived as sacrilege) Now the game is dull chess. I play this project only because of the cool art design and the huge amount of content.
