Im just not sure how difficult it is for someone to login to their dev account on the forums, go to announcements and post 'Hey everyone! It's been quiet for a bit while we work on stuff, but as announced at gamescom, 0.9.2 is coming on sept 7th! The update will also include one of the 3 remaining masteries, in the Warlock! <Insert tease of some other stuff thats being teased at gamescom.
I found out about gamescom stuff from the remains of the race community, and then we've had to look at mobile footage of screens at gamescom, and try and find random articles talking about teases and stuff. Im sorry but 'Gamescom is about more than last epoch' makes literally no sense. You arent running gamescom lol. At the very best all you're saying there is that you value new people who might comeinto the game, way more than those of us who have been around (not to beat a dead horse, but looking at the race community, would be unsurprising ngl)
For all the speak of community, it would be nice to get a word from the devs about the stuff being teased, instead of having to scramble to find out whats happening. Seriously, how hard is it to post an announcement pointing to the trailer and the information thats already out there? Instead we have to rely on andrew collecting stuff, or someone else in the community going to the forums to post the trailer for the patch.
You have to at least see that with Wolcen, the last big kickstarter arpg, a random descent into not telling people anything is kinda a bad omen. We aren't prospective purchasers of your game, we already threw our money in, at least put together the information thats already being sprinkled about for us to know what's goin on.
From my guess, if 1.0 is coming this year, at best there's a patch in like 1 1/2 months (unlikely), if not this is the last patch before release, I reallllly hope this isn't how you plan to carry on. The only answer we've really got about any questions was 'Perry will have stuff to talk about in regards to that' Perrys great, but he isn't a dev.
At the very least just employ Andrew, god knows he does a way better job than ya'll at communicating whats happening.
