I’ve also seen quite a number of joke-threads made specifically to poke fun at complainers to say “ha ha look, we baited you with a title saying there’s news in here, lolz, so clever”.
To me, all of it is a package deal, and we gotta deal with it.
Yeah, that’s the funny thing. Everytime “complainers” give facts, it does seem that you don’t really acknowledge them.
Both sides have facts, and neither has reached the absolute truth yet.
Would you say Dhusk is wrong when he says this
My “sarcastic image” saying how long 249 has been in development isn’t an opinion. It is a fact, whether you like it or not. Although, you do have a point : it was incendiary and toxic of me, and for that, I do apologize. But I feel like it’s needed at this stage to point it out clearly, because it is not ok for any update to take so much time.
Somewhere else, I have seen indications that the devs are already working on a new game, and there’s the whole Baldur’s Gate 3 thing too with Larian Guildford. Aren’t these facts? Incomplete facts, I’ll give you that.
Many people have left the game, such as the Portal Seekers. That is a fact, and the weird thing is that if we listen to some, we should feel like “eh, no big deal, people come, people go”.
The devs haven’t replied in this specific thread for months. That is a fact.
Why though? I’ve seen someone say that it’s likely because they can’t. Why? Who’s stopping them? James? Someone higher from Larian?
THAT is up for opinions.
My honest fear is that they actually let the game slowly die in “maintenance mode” while they get busy with other games, and a community-member saying “naaaah that won’t happen” isn’t enough to reassure me, as it is opinion and not fact.
We actually need James to come and clear-up all of the misconceptions about the status of 249, Larian Guildford, the new game, how things are going, in ONE dedicated thread, and it’s insane to me that he hasn’t done that yet.
