i dunno… I would leave all the Boundles saving initiative to the devs. they know things we do not, they got the charts and numbers, and they are aware of marketing and how games work. they received plenty of standard feedback, and didn’t ask us for suggestions. I’m going to assume they know what they are doing and that they know that we are here in case they need any community thing done. if devs say nothing, i will do nothing. I will continue to enjoy the game for as long as it makes sense to me.
I would appreciate more communication about the shutdown worries though.
Not sure if it’s accidental or not, but did you know that James apparently personally knows the lead dev of the NMS team?
This only gives more credence to what you said there.
I personally truly think that we should simply just stop making suggestions, tagging devs, talking about how we can “help” the devs, promote the game for them, and debate to figure out if the game is dead, alive (especially since it’s very much like Schrodinger’s cat at this point)… Let’s play the game, try to enjoy what is there, make a new Finata of whatever.
I really don’t think an extra couple of dozen sales, if even that, is going to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I’m sure if James or Square wanted us to stop supporting the game they would communicate it. However, can you think of any other business where they would continue to sell the product if they didn’t want anyone to buy it, because I sure as hell can’t?
That’s the thing. None of us know what the devs want. I personally would like to help them, but when we DM them “can we help?”, the devs straight-up ignore our questions. THAT is nonsense to me.
The last time James actually replied to something other than a support ticket, it was because someone tried to contact Larian directly to force his hand.
This only makes me think “well, better not do anything then”.
I understand what you are saying, however, its a stretch to blame the players and give the developers a pass.
I’ve seen it a million times on here, and I am not necessarily speaking about you @HOST, but there is a hardcore group that is eager to place more blame on complaining players than the developers.
The developers don’t update, don’t communicate like they should and players complain. And if the game shutdown tomorrow it would be the fault of the player’s who complained? Really? I don’t think so.
I’m not blaming the players fully but we are just as part to blame as the devs
i did mention
since we got neglected.
the reason is since there’s zero communication towards us and the players joining we as a community should not turn boundless bad it is not the game’s fault the game itself is lovely!
with or without the updates
i do understand the concerns of others and i respect each individual feedback myself
just because one doesn’t like it doesn’t mean you should not and that’s also for if you like something it doesn’t mean you should like it too, everyone has a different point of view about the game but the main concerns are the lack of communication from the development team.
like I said before let us not blame the game and welcome all new players without the negative feedback and enjoy ourselves as long as it lasts.
giving negative feedback towards new players about boundless makes us just as bad
this is just how i think about it
overal i’m happy everyone just respects eachother and can communicate without making a warzone out of it and share their feedback and thoughts
This is the best game I have ever played. And I will play it until they close the servers. If it’s tomorrow or several years away.
I will stay to the end.
Stay awesome all you wonderful Boundless people!
Assuming the game is ‘hibernating’ instead of ‘dying’ is the most positive outlook I can have about it. ^^
I’m spending so much energy trying to not think about it and stay positive while I build once again on Raxxa, hoping what I do will last until 2023 at least. Every hub I visit has most of its portals closed and an ambient air of ghost-town, and if I cross path with someone, it’s like “uh, what a surprise, there’s still life!”.
Ceph has been pretty active since we moved back there. A group of Brownies have pitched tent nearby and are actively building and hanging out. There’s at least seven of us building around. Yes, it’s sad about the dead portal hubs, but there’s some community making the most of what is left. Also gathered around 17 people for our hunts this weekend. There is a community.
Well, good part is, monumental took over and things get maintained. We had here and there little fixes. Events happen. And at some point they will be done with the taking over and building a team so we can await eventually updates and new content.
@May-L04 clearly stated they did little fixes and she gave proper examples of those.
She said the game is maintained and support is provided.
In both she was right.
Now we simply wait for the game being transfered and a dev team to be assembled.
Read her post once more maybe @SWProzee1 cause you missed the target with your moody answer.
