All I want from Relic is:
1. Performance tweaks. My rig is a monster. It is the large hadron collider. I paid a lot of money for it and it eats other games for breakfast. Yet I have some issues with CoH2. This makes me a sad panda.
2. A balance patch [...]
3. A more relaxed, chilled-out attitude towards discussing stuff. You aren't the NSA. Chill. The' Fuck. Out.
4. Related to 3, why in general terms don't you just discuss what you'd like to do in future. Man, I've followed the Creative Assembly for *years* before and after Sega. They discuss stuff in a way you don't. Take the criticism, Relic, we love what you do but this is (by a country mile) your biggest problem as a company and hamstrings any attempt to have a meaningful dialogue with fans / customers and community.
5. Yeah, this community is fractious and a bit of a nightmare. It's like herding cats. Ignore fifty per cent of what they say. Do stuff for single player. Then ignore another forty per cent. But ten percent of what this community says is golden. That's the bit that needs capturing. It's like that aftershave from Anchor Man. Sex Panther - I dunno, a third of the time it works thirty per cent of the time or whatever the fuck the quote is.
6. Man I love this game. At the same time I hate this game. You can't make a game like this and not expect people not to get passionate about it. Imagine if you'd made a 'meh' game.
+1000, all of this!
Also, thank you PQ and Cynthia for posting some claryfing stuff on the stream. I think that's the way to go for better communication with the community.
Despite all the hating and whining, the CoH community has so many people who are passionate about the game and contribute every day with with constructive posts, streams, casts, guides or whatever.
However, the current MP meta and performance is truly annyoing. There is nothing more frustrating than losing due to performance. I think people get that these issues can not be changed over night, but please give us something to look forward to! That would also help making communication in the forums more constructive and less bitter.
