I did like the tweet when I first saw it in my feed (which I’m sure you can imagine is quite full). Not a huge fan of the tone and words used, but I saw the bigger message. (And then I unliked it because of that last part.)
The part that struck me is about the fact that it’s impossible to make everyone happy about changes -
There’s always going to be someone (or many folks) that completely agree with your direction, and just as many that don’t. And that’s the crux of the issue - make everyone a little unhappy with a middle-ground compromise or piss off a section of the community but make another section happy? (And please note, one section of the community doesn’t “speak for the community”. Half the folks that play games don’t even use Reddit, Twitter, or Forums.)
This isn’t in anyway an attempt to diminish the importance of the feedback from one section or another - at all. The Devs have to balance the feedback with actual hard data that shows more than gut feelings, opinions, etc.
At the end of the day, I’m a messenger between the community and the Dev team. (The job is actually substantially more than that, but for the purpose of this reply, we’ll leave it there.)
I personally apologize for any hurt or offense me liking a tweet (as silly as that sounds, this is our reality in 2019) that is, upon reflection, pretty incendiary. It doesn’t reflect my feelings towards the community - and if you actually talked to me (not at me, or about me, or insults), you’d know that.
Take care.

This really adds to the authenticity of the apology.
Allow me to clarify. I wasn’t saying that it’s silly to apologize for the offense. And I truly am sincere in my apology.
We’re in an incredibly connected time because of social media and people look for “gotcha” opportunities. A misspoken tweet, an ill-advised like or RT is now considered gospel and used as evidence of the entire thought process of someone - rather than having a conversation about said tweet. That, to me, is silly. But it is where we are. And I do apologize.
And I’m owning the fact that it was I’ll-advised to like that tweet - I should’ve looked at it as a whole rather than the message it was trying to convey. Had I done that thoroughly, I wouldn’t have liked the tweet.
I appreciate the response, how is dice taking the criticism we give from the community. I want to know that it’s not just being ignored.
It’s not being ignored. There’s meetings on Monday regarding the recent changes and steps going forward. I don’t have any further details at this time - but the feedback received has been noticed and acknowledged by the studio. We’ll have more info next week, hopefully.
The tweet adresses the whole community as one. The whole community doesn’t share the same opinion which renders his argument completely void, yet you still liked it. Don’t take this post as an insult, all I’m saying is that it’s a poor way to represent the community by grouping everyone into the same group. I get that it’s impossible to please everyone, although we feel like our feedback on the TTK update isn’t being listened to.
Although I’d like to apologise about how I worded my title, it was in the heat of the moment. I don’t think you’re bad at your job, I just didn’t agree with the tweet.
I agree 100%. Generalizations are weak and, to be frank, a bit lazy. Clumping everyone together isn’t accurate - everyone has their own opinions and situations - even if many agree on one thing, it’s not everyone (as that tweet reads). That is one of the reasons I unliked it.
I quite like the change. It’s not perfect and I would like to see some rebalancing of certain guns but I actually liked it.
I hate how much of an echo chamber this sub is. I make a post giving my input on the update and it gets downvoted to oblivion. It means you guys never see it.
You guys should have just a one question survey pop up on the menu after a player puts in like an hour of playtime. Have it just say: “do you like the new TTK? And have it be yes, no, and maybe.
Then let us see those numbers! I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes the change.
You’re not alone. Not by a long shot. (Other folks are just not as vocal.)
