[2019] The dev team response time is incredible

It has been 7 days since the game has released to everyone and the devs have already done an incredible amount of work to make all of our experiences better with the game.

1. Bug fixes: They have been very proactive in fixing issues as they arise, typically within 1-2 days. The ones I can think of off the top of my head include; free play chest farm, gunslingers mark stacking, stronghold checkpoint exploiting, storm ult spam, etc. The number of dev teams that address such issues in such a short time frame is few and far between.
2. Communication: They have been actively engaging with the community for as long as I've been around. From responding to posts on social media, answering questions, discussing internal game mechanisms (such as the recent reveal of luck thresholds) and most importantly receiving and acting on community feedback.
3. Updates: In a way similar to bug fixes, they have been extremely fast with addressing some of the shortcomings of the game. They are revamping the way inscriptions function after only 7 days since release, a major change to the way we interact with loot. Similar to this was the change to the way different activities reward different items (strongholds = seals/abilities, legendary contracts = components). This was a great way to encourage us to experience more of what the game has to offer rather than just what is the most efficient.

I'm sure there are a lot of other things that I'm missing, but I just wanted to talk about a few of the things that have really stood out to me. I know there are still many issues that are plaguing the game currently but I'm very optimistic that they will get resolved in a timely manner based on the dedication the devs have shown us to this point.

The game was released in a similar fashion to others of the genre, unpolished, but with what we have seen so far from the dev team, I dare say it will be a much quicker process to get it nice and shiny compared to some others.
