Why are we doing this?
Do the devs even read this forum?
I never seen anyone reply

but yeah they rarely reply...its mostly just vaknar and mostly when things get too out of control.
We have no clue if anything is selectd
If things get really messed up on a topic, with everyone believing something that isn't part of the design, or talking about a real problem that we almost all agree on, every now and then it seems like the Dev in charge of that design might say something. I feel like this has happened a whole twice. (it was appreciated at least by me when it did).
It could be that it doesn't happen more often because generally, a company in the middle of design will only want one 'face', and if your community is already debating properly, you don't want to get involved.
lol most of the ideas are ridiculous
Yeah, damn AoC developer carebears, right?
We'll see!
"It feels we are here only generating hype so other people make money"
This is false. Intrepid does not make money from the posts we create on here. This forum is a private platform for members. This forum creates hype WITHIN the community of AoC. YouTube on the other hand creates hype outside of the community.
Neat guy working for Intrepid, reading and posting now and again.
Yes, I see him posting threads, then I dont see him anywhere
I do pinged him, but i did maybe 3-4 times, he never showed up tough which is fine
No, in my experience devs barely never show up, there's rumors some read the forums sometimes
I am questioning this because I got interested in AoC through Steven's interview, I liked him before I start knowing AoC, he said so many stuff in the interview I identify with
Why do people use twitter?
It's been said in the past that, at least on the official threads, community managers go through comments, compile the similar/popular ideas/suggestions and present them to the devs, probably in a monthly meeting.
Also, if Intrepid ever fucks something up and the majority of the community starts complaining, they will hopefully revise their choices.
Proof he never showed up and read the thread?
or you just think that because he didn't respond?
Go watch the streams several times Steven has talked about falling asleep phone in hand reading the forums and reddit. I have personally interacted with him in Discord during A1.
I have seen Vaknar respond in thread several times. They don't need to respond to you every time you post.
Look at him! He can't even put his glasses on right anymore!
There have also been times in the passed where Steven used to reply in here as well. Been a while but that is probably a good thing as he tends to get excited and start talking about stuff they don't want to reveal yet. Is hard for them to change something they found later wasn't going to work but Steven said something and then the trolls freak out.
But, but Stevens said so.

But I just stop posting when I feel like that and ghost until i see something I do want to talk about again.
They read the posts for sure.
But to give feedback to everybody is time consuming.
They have pinned threads where they ask for our oppinion.
Vaknar even posted on my first post/thread on the forum.
Maybe I was lucky
But I don't want him posting on each thread. I think he does an amazing job.
Haven't read any of the thread, just replying to this post.
We post here to talk amongst ourselves. We do not - and should not - assume Intrepid will take anything at all that we say seriously.
Intrepid are staffed with actual educated, experienced MMORPG developers (and amateur creative lead, but what ever). The very notion that any non-educated (at least in the appropriate field), inexperienced person could come up with an idea that is better than what the educated, experienced team at Intrepid could come up with is pure arrogance.
Of course they know what they should do better than we know what they should do. Any other notion is utterly ridiculous.
You also need to do 2 things:
Understand where the game is going to by watching old dev updates. I would check everything till last year.
Then you need to either come to terms with what they do, point out problems with design based on what THEY DO and make suggestions.
Or go the way another guy has. Being in total denial and then QQing to milf some attention.
I for one disagree with things related to classes weapons abilities mounts and animations. But I dont disagree with any of the foundational mechanics. And I get annoyed when I see people trying to change the basics; trying to turn AoC into yet another wow eso ff14.
Dont expect replies from the devs, they have work to do. Their "replies" to feedback are shown through the Dev progress on the monthly updates.
And also, community managers arent devs.
They only make announcements and read what we type here. Some of that might make it to the Devs.
Big content creators also read what we type here. I see it, especially in their recent videos. That gets Stevens attention.
So, do what you will.
I hope they read this
