I find it odd that Radar has taken over community manager duties from Mini, which is supposedly our community manager, she's been MIA for quite awhile...
Howdy! Not sure why you find my presence odd but I won't take that personally!
Mini has been working in the background the whole time. We're a team and we step in where necessary to support each other. I took ownership of handling our communication on Reddit recently so she could focus on other tasks.
To answer the OP question though, tomorrow's release is a bit out of the norm for us given we normally update on Tuesday so we extended the timeframe around it.
Apologies if my statement comes off as disliking you in anyway, that was not the sole intention, It's just that when someone as prominent as a cm doesn't/stop posting you tend to wonder whether they've resigned, are dealing with personal matters and what not.
And there's also the thing where in a fireside chat devs have mentioned that to them Reddit is a toxic place (They're not wrong, but we're just more vocal than other sns users though)and therefore they prefer to interact with the community via Discord/Twitter instead.
It's just when Mini was brought onboard you kind of drifted off to Smite subreddit and she began being the main link between players and devs. So when she "disappeared" and you came back It makes one wonder. I don't mean it in a malicious way, it's just curiosity, that's all. Thanks for the clarification though.
No I'm just joking around (text doesn't convey this well). Ultimately I'm responsible for all our Community Management efforts so I move where I'm needed to support the team. For now I'm heading back to my roots here with Rogue Company.
Reddit frankly does have good days and bad but just because you don't see us respond doesn't mean we aren't reading every day. We definitely are.
