chat with Uber

[1:41 PM] Wyverex: I don't know if feedback like this is of any use, but here's a copy/paste from our Discord, names removed. A tiny feedback into how your loyal players think / feel on current development:

Person #1: Dont get me wrong, I havent run off yet, and I'd play the game in its current state without future development if launch gave it at least a short term population boost, doesnt mean that their mega patch development cycles and secret feature additions make any sense
Person #1: Theyve talked about how many problems it caused for them before and just do it over, lol
Person #2 (me): they are a small team trying to do a huge undertaking... I too think it is time for them to be completely honest about: what will be included for launch, when will launch be, where will the server be, etc
Person #3: Yeah, some information is needed if they want to retain the core they have now, seems their marketting team disagrees
[1:42 PM] Ub3rgames: it is usful
[1:42 PM] Ub3rgames: We know people want these answers, but we don't have them ourselves
[1:42 PM] Ub3rgames: Especially regarding the server location.
[1:42 PM] Ub3rgames: it makes no sense to rely on 10 years old data to determine where we would place our server.
[1:43 PM] Wyverex: sure, but try to make those higher priority. I am not asking for any info you can't give yet
[1:43 PM] Wyverex: I always liked your transparency so wanted to bring to your attention thoughts from my fellow allies who all love New Dawn
[1:43 PM] Ub3rgames: We understand the frustration
[1:44 PM] Ub3rgames: Perhaps the forum in which we express it is the issue?
[1:44 PM] Wyverex: could be
[1:44 PM] Ub3rgames: Because there is no lack of transparency on our end. The community knows as much as we do
[1:44 PM] Wyverex: a big post on the official forums would probably settle the heat for now
[1:44 PM] Wyverex: just a few sentences "where we're at"
[1:44 PM] Ub3rgames: but it seemed that didn't go too well before the opening of inDev either. But that's the best we can do
[1:45 PM] Ub3rgames: What is the issue exactly? In your opinion?
[1:46 PM] Wyverex: I very much appreciate your honest replies, and I always try to go with "let's give them the benefit of a doubt", and so far I have not been dissapointed, not even patch delay troubles me

In my opinion, you should do a post under Announcements and say "we had some trouble with feature X or Y, we're spliting the patch so we can deploy features that are done ASAP. Can't say for sure when it's gonna be, but possibly in the next week. We are also working on preparing (marketing / big feature Z / whatever you can disclose) and we'll inform you when we have concrete info"
[1:47 PM] Wyverex: anything of the sorts to settle community into "they haven't forgotten us"
[1:47 PM] Ub3rgames: Ha , so you would say "not enough teasing"? Or are we misunderstanding?
[1:48 PM] Wyverex: sorry if I was not clear. I'll try to explain
[1:48 PM] Ub3rgames: or just lack of broadcasting? Updates?
[1:48 PM] Wyverex: You answer a lot of individial questions, be it on Discord or Forums
[1:48 PM] Wyverex: but you need to do a broadcast of sorts - that's the correct word
[1:48 PM] Ub3rgames: Yes, so lack of broadcasting
[1:48 PM] Wyverex: I am by no means expert in public relationships, just my 2 cents :wink:
[1:48 PM] Ub3rgames: The thing is, we have a very angry communication team right now, because they are waiting on this patch to start their work :smiley:
[1:49 PM] Wyverex: haha
[1:49 PM] Ub3rgames: And we've been delaying them
[1:49 PM] Wyverex: tell them we all love them :heart:   and do just a tiny broadcast message
[1:49 PM] Ub3rgames: We'll do
[1:49 PM] Wyverex: watch out for heat (at least it's super hot in Zagreb) and continue the good work :smiley:
[1:49 PM] Ub3rgames: We'll do some cutting so that there is at least a patch, even if it is incomplete and some things that were expected aren't here
[1:50 PM] Ub3rgames: yes, heat is afecting us
[1:50 PM] Ub3rgames: We'll have some vacations in august, so we'll also communicate on that
[1:50 PM] Ub3rgames: We want the team to rest a bit before the final push to release
[1:50 PM] Wyverex: my birthday is on August 6th, surprise me with something nice :smile:
[1:50 PM] Wyverex: I won't keep you away from work anymore. Thanks for the chat
[1:50 PM] Ub3rgames: A picture of the team sipping margaritas? :p
[1:51 PM] Wyverex: sounds good
[1:51 PM] Ub3rgames: No worries. We only come on discord when one of us can spare the time.
[1:51 PM] Ub3rgames: (compilation times are long :wink: )
