Don't worry, he is back! :D
Yeah I don't get why they would remove the only good part of the map lmao
It was most certainly a cool location, we agree. But it was not a good location in terms of gameplay, and that's why we removed it to ensure we could improve the overall flow on other areas of the map.
Great way to start the podcast by gaslighting the players with "the vehicle call-in was meant to let people be able to move around the big maps but people prefered to walk". Totally missing the point why Hourglass and the other maps aren't fun to play or why no one wants to play them. Shameless, really. I had to rewind to listen to this section again to believe it.
What we called out in the podcast is that we wrongly anticipated how players would engage with vehicles (alongside how the new call-in system would work). That was on us as developers, not on players.
I disagree that this comment is gaslighting. It's merely stating that our observation in how players would engage with vehicles was different from our expectation pre-launch.
