Muzzy: Trion, lets not confuse passion with trolling

Thank you for your insight and writeup. I want to clear up one point to help you see the way the communication method is shifting. I'll be working on ways to use the forums to get Q&As out with a little more time between thread close and answer.Previously, the process was 'put the Q&A up, close it the day of the stream, answer later that day', but this resulted in a lot of non-answers, mostly "we'll check with XL", and it made it easier for answers to fall through the cracks. The livestreams themselves will be more dedicated to information, and trion creators. That being the plan, there will be fewer livestreams, but the ones we have will be more potent. Because we are moving towards 4.5, there will be a livestream that covers each of the main pillars of that version, as well as a Fresh Start based livestream to deliver as much information about those topics as possible within 40-50 minutes of live-time, with a follow up forum thread for questions that may arise. We'll be looking to our creator community for hosting as well as other content for us to spotlight on days we don't have information-focused livestreams. There also may be livestream days without streams or hosted content, but I'm hoping to minimize that as much as possible.Overall, the feedback about our livestreams contributed to the change you'll be seeing take place over the next few months. We're looking to make the livestreams more useful and avoid some of the pitfalls that viewers have commented on before.As for the rest of your post, please continue to use the forums to have discussions with your fellow players. It is these discussions that help us deliver your sentiment to the developer. At the end of the day, XL makes the game. We deliver their build to you and if the community is unsatisfied, your voices are delivered to XL weekly with comments, concerns, and even suggestions on how better to progress. Your words are sent directly to them in most cases. This means that your precise arguments are being seen by XL. The more organized, and deeper the discussion, the better. So when there is a topic you are passionate about, tell your friends in game and have them join the conversation - giving a voice to as many as possible to better represent the community as a whole.
