Thank you, but can you send a link to the discord channel?

Let's take that conversation to DMs.

Edit: The short answer, for now, is to not misrepresent your art as Official Treyarch content.

Edit: Looks like the Reddit app kept the response to this question within the original Discord Link request.

I think everyone can understand that, as long as "not worth it" doesn't extend to all the topics that players want to talk about (spawning, connectivity, matchmaking, lobbies, visibility, etc) that the devs would prefer to avoid. The first step to managing outrage is to recognize the issues that are making people unhappy... unfortunately, that hasn't been the common practice in the past.

I outlined what that meant. There may be times where I don't have responses to some topics or the response to give is not what some players want. The decision to not engage with those players in that scenario begins when they decide to become uncivil or intellectually dishonest.

Sure thing, you can find it here. We're using Discord a little differently than most servers because we're an information and content creation hub first. We might explore text and voice channels at a later date, but the goal is to keep the information flow running for those who live on Discord. (I live on Discord.)

Great job and thank you for sending the links! Liked it on Twitter and Instagram from Treyarch. Also added it to our Discord's UGC channel. :)

I think it's because it gets over whelming at a point. It's hard trying to fix issues when the angry mobs don't know what they want and say "FIX THIS. YOU LAZY SHITHEADS". Fix what? They're more specific with negative words that they're calling Treyarch , than the complaint itself.

MW, she got death threats and probably even sexual abuse threats, I'd stay tf away too. It's a lot to take in, they're human. We need to realize this. They can get doxxed if someone was pissed enough.

Keep in mind, they're only reporting back what Treyarch/IW has told them. There's no guarantee. We're not in their shoes. We simply play the game and post about it on reddit.

Treyarchs communicator even said /r/Blackops4 was just too toxic.

What I said was:

I intend to remain present but will definitely elect to not engage with those who are intentionally uncivil or intellectually dishonest as in r/BlackOps4. We outlined this in our ...

it must be hard for you especially, trying to find actual feedback.

Frequency of conversation plays a part in the feedback process. Some things are tough and some are not.

"Criticism β‰  Hate" is something we very much understand at the studio. IMHO, "hate" starts when players or posters make the decision to become uncivil or outright abusive. We understand that passion can run high and translate into brief flares, but we reject consistent incivility.

You still reuse the same footstep/explosion/gun sounds from 2012. We kinda all waiting on Treyarch to adapt...

The sound guy needs to be fired asap.

I'm going to make it clear right here that creating posts that paint with the broadest of brush strokes and call for people to be fired are the easiest ways to get blocked, muted, or ignored by us.

If you think your post was a bastion of feedback then you're wrong. There are so many more ways for you to be constructive and contribute positively instead of that.

We called this out specifically in our Welcome to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War blog. Please...

Depends on your definition and I feel like a lot of complaints from BO4 are going to be alleviated with how COD operates now.

Plus, everyone should click heads. Mice. Controllers. The crazy kids that use touch pads.

Trust me when I say that I read most of the threads here. We're going to get to a point where reading everything isn't possible, but I've seen it. We're not talking about various systems yet. We haven't even made it to 9/9 yet. So I appreciate you sharing the feedback, but I'm going to put this out there so you don't feel like you're being left on Read.

Adapt. Click on heads. Drink water. Be good.

Thank you for communicating. When the inevitable immature comments are thrown your way, do you what you gotta do but remember there's those of us who appreciate what you do. Cheers!

Thank you! This means a lot to our team and I. If you're still here later this year, it's cool some people move on, be sure to help me call out to the community in how we can all do better.

I think it would be actionable to simply include all the guns, maps, and features that I want, and exclude all the guns, maps, and features I do not want.

(And to do exactly the same for the ~50 million players who buy the game individually.)

Pretty weird that instead of simply doing every single thing I ask, you have an experienced team of developers building the game based on years of trial and error.

Edit: LMAO my first platinum award is for being a sarcastic smart-ass who defends the behavior of a large company. Very on-brand.

LOL YES.
It's like trying to decide only three flavors of pizza for ~50 million people.
