thanks! it was a fun interview and shout out to ash for arranging it and for the chat!
Is it just me or it had very little substance for a 23 minute video? There was no real conviction, no confidence, no concrete updates, no honesty or real emotion in the words. It was like he was saying something for the sake of it. Drew was super defensive even with someone like CWA who is a very reasonable person. There is no shame in accepting mistakes and honestly we all make mistakes, what takes courage is accepting them and making a confident clear plan to rectify them. The plan may not work out 100% but without a plan we have nothing
not going to lie, reading through this comment (and the one below it) was extremely confusing and upsetting for me to hear. the upvoted comment below saying i was arrogant and condescending towards ash was CRAZY to read. i’m sure ash himself would not have done an interview with me if i was truly acting that way.
this interview is me in the most casual of vibes, just having a candid, open and honest chat with CWA that was really fun to me. i’m being as open as i can be and this is absolutely a natural interview... so it is extremely hard for me to understand how this came across as having ‘no conviction, no honesty or real emotion’. this was an outside of work hours call chatting to a guy who i respect and talking about one of my main passions in life.
i really do not understand how this was a conclusion that is so heavily upvoted so please help me to understand.
the response to this interview on reddit has been overwhelmingly negative and i want to get feedback as to why this was... i was literally shocked by these comments and am having a hard time taking them on board as they’re such wildly different takes from reality.
in all honesty, reading the responses here that took a positive, fun, interview in a completely negative way has definitely put me off of further casual interviews with content creators.
i appreciate any feedback on this (time stamps, examples etc)
Hi Drew! As a longtime player, and lurker on this subreddit, I think I can make a little bit of a comparison with USA politics. When elections come around, candidates tend to use generalities and such to support positions instead of concrete task analyses (e.g. step 1, 2, 3, etc.). This video is similar in that it doesn’t address anything aside from general feelings about the update. My feelings about the update are bittersweet. I like ladder being harder to climb, but being in the pacific time zone, I don’t like the race aspect to CW2 and I feel like it’ll never get fixed. We understand that the infrastructure of the game itself has changed and that is hard to revert (e.g. “go back to cw1” hot takes), but if we in the PST have to wait until the quarterly update to get a fair race, that will be a big problem. So, there are problems with only general solutions and not specific fixes planned. That is really all we need. Cheers! If you’re ever in Seattle, let’s grab coffee.
Edit: I found your tone pleasant. And people’s biases are affecting objectivity. That is all :)
Edit again: punctuation.
hey, thanks for coming out of lurking for this answer!
that’s a really good example actually, i will always understand people wanting more concrete information that relates to gameplay and updates so that’s a valid feedback. maybe it is worth holding off on communication until there are more concrete plans to reveal.
i guess as it was split into 2 vids with the 2nd containing more info this was also valid criticism, this first video didn’t really give anything new!
i guess my gripe was that myself as a person was criticized here. but your point there also stands about the bias affecting objective opinions, so thanks for that.
would be happy to grab a coffee in seattle anytime! cheers
