I am much more interested about development concerns, but it'd be wrong to say others won't grab my attention

I mean, there's probably always some tiny voice in the back of your mind whispering "but what if you fail", which I think was silenced relatively early, when the game picked up at Early Access release. It's been doing continuously well, and I know our CEO Soren spends a lot of time looking at how the game is performing, making sure we're on the right track. which has been a forgiving task so far

As Community Manager, I always worry about toxicity in the community. With a growing community you are bound to run into some bad apples, and we have had our share of them, but overall the community is a very friendly and welcoming bunch of beardos.Can't say much about design challenges, but we do a lot of talking at the office, and even though some things make it into the game that not everyone agrees upon, the team is always great at looking at the feedback and making the necessary adjustments. And when that happens, we're also good at admitting that it was a mistake ...

Everybody is on holiday, so you have to settle with me. What do you mean? Like design-wise, development-wise or what?

It's a minor annoyance, but we are thinking about a damage-over-time penalty for scouts that don't use their flare gun. Once they drop to 0 health, they explode like a Bulk Detonator, but instead of mayhem and destruction they release flares in every direction.
We are also working to fix some bugs that crash the game.

I am not a dev, this is just a joke.

What you did there, I did not see... because the scout didn't light up your comment.

Not a Dev, but the "Dev response" flair is meant to be used after a Dev replied. Just letting you know. Rock and Stone brother!!!

Fixed with this comment!

The Neon Band skin for the revolver suddenly missing is not a bug. It was awarded by mistake (maybe with the supporter DLC? I forgot how it actually happened), and wasn’t fixed until later, when it was discovered, so people thought they lost it, when they never really got it to begin with. Since you’re mentioning that skin specifically, I would think that’s the only skin you’re actually missing, but if you can name other skins you’re absolutely sure you had (screenshots to document it would help), let me know.

Ah, that makes you the guy that said the menace is a pair of squirting boobs.

Edit: I’ve removed it.

I myself recently noticed that I've seemingly been banned after lurking there since v1.0 with little or no interaction, and a quick search showed me that it isn't uncommon to be banned with no apparent explanation. I was curious to see how many other people fell into this situation.

Or, as /u/DisturbedPandita said; "Science!"

Admitted, it’s not always people understand why they are banned, especially since booting people off the server removes the context.

What’s the purpose of this poll?

About a week or maybe two before the Update itself.

It was due to your petition to rename the game “Deep c*ck Galactic”. I’ve removed your dunce, since it’s been so long.

So, just to get this out of the way; content is not blocking fixes for Xbox. It’s different people doing content. It’s a common misconception that one eats out of the other.

That said, we’re currently changing the framework used for the Xbox/MS Store versions since it was outdated and causing issues. It’s not a small task, but with 1.0 behind us the timing is right to implement such a big change. This will hopefully fix a lot of the issues those two versions are having, especially with connections, but also other issues.

Hope we’ll see you back soon.

Please do! We love stuff like this!

He's certainly being abrasive, but he has a point.

The game is growing, and so there's more greenbeards than ever. I have no problem coaching them on the ways of the dwarf when I feel up to it, but sometimes I just want to host a high hazard mission and have a normal game. And there's no way to stop brand new players from joining, promptly getting destroyed, and then most likely quitting (hopefully just the match and not the game itself)... other than pre-emptively kicking them which is not what I'd consider ideal.

If we can't get the choice to add a (low, say about level 10) minimum requirement to join our haz4+ lobbies, then the game should at least do a better job of warning newbies that the hazard levels are a really big deal.

I know you don't want newbies to feel alienated by the locked games, but getting massacred in haz4 is also a bad experience for them. And for us, for what it's worth.

Grantrd, it’s currently not the most optimal system for people who want their games a certain way, but it’s what we’ve got. The level requirement has been brought up before, but you can easily be high level without being good at the game, so that kind of filter would only be a hacky patchjob. I think most new players will quickly figure out what difficulty is appropriate for them, so the issue would still be there for every player past whatever limit is set.

Adding to that, sometimes people want a challenge with a risk of failure - sometimes they’ll go for a game with good modifiers and high hazard for the reward itself, without bringing the skill to handle it, and those most likely won’t be the greenbeards.

Game dev is hard, lol

There’s really no Matchmaking to fix.

I’m not going to tell you how to play your game. You do you. But one thing we pride ourselves of at Ghost Ship Games is that we have a very helpful and non-toxic community. Everybody is a noob in the beginning. You can either help build stronger miners and a better community, or you can give new players a potential bad experience in a game that you love. I’d love for it to be the first option.

The 0 missions is because we’re not using that feature any more. There’s almost 5k ingame on Steam right now.

Note on mods; No mods are officially sanctioned by Ghost Ship Games, or in any way recommended. It will mess up the data we collect, and leads to an increase in false flag error reports and messages about cheaters which is a very costly time and resource sink, which would be better spent elsewhere. If you absolutely have to mess around with stuff like this, do it in private lobbies.
