In lieu of the scams running rampant right now, would it be better to post in a discord or on the forums for volunteers instead? I'm junking all email and calls that aren't from people I know these days.

that would increase the selection bias to the people who frequent the discords and forums, unfortunately. Everyone has an email associated with their account, so we can get send emails to people who play the game modes we're interested in for the specific survey. There is still selection bias in the people that choose to respond of course, but there's not much we can do about that.

Proper date is Oct 5 through Nov 9. Blog post is being corrected.

Many collections and other quest goals are also not explained and resolvable by the game alone.I bet I am not even the only one thinking that. You must have had that discussion internally before too. Why do I know that as a player? Because of the tutorial quests update and the new leveling experience update with the reward popups that explain you something new which wasn't an option. The game needed it. It was a good step in the right direction but there is still so many areas in the game where the player has to look it up on third party sites because the game explains so little so often.

I think it is because the achievement system was never supposed to transform into the quest system that it ...
