Akhratos✭✭✭✭Ive seen better dev-playerbase interaction in everysingle p2p mmorpg Ive played, and the list is not short (and the older ones didnt have the great help that social networks are now).
I have my doubts about Warhammer (r.i.p), but there devs would listen to the playerbase and even talk to us more than zos does. Its simply they would do whatever they wanted afterwards no matter what they were told, so lets be it on par.
Anyway, whats the current esodev-playerbase interaction to make a proper comparison? I have seen nothing this far besides a CM who tries her best but is only given scraps by the devs to throw at us from time to time. I cant blame her, it must be really hard to try establish a healthy relation with the community when you can not give them any info or make any promises 99% of the time.5 -

The problem is the game is not making people feel any good in many areas (stamina builds, vr trash mobs hitting harder than crag bosses, lack of any endgame content or reward..) and yet there are no flashy videos and no dev action.

The issue lies with building a community that is loyal and trusts the company enough to defend it. You see die hard 'insert this mmo title here' types for each game but it's the casuals that will decide a game's fate in the end. When the majority of casuals are 'meh' or moving on to other titles in a very short release, it's telling. Having some feedback from the devs themselves, not mods posting script, helps to engage the community so that they know they are in fact being heard and their voices aren't falling on deaf ears. MMOs are a completely different beast than single player games, and they require a huge effort of large groups of people (well, most do, apparently ESO never learned that) and that's why the devs interaction with the paying clients matters. Especially in the beginning stages of building a strong fan base.5 -
Eivar✭✭✭✭As much as I would like to i just can't muster any interest in wildstar, the goofy over the top in your face humor style annoys me, as well as the cartoony art style, as I understand it it's a good game but I just can't bring myself to care when i'd have my senses assaulted all the time.6 -

Casuals don't go to the website. They don't read the forums. They don't spend an hour watching gameplay videos.
The type of players you're referring to are the "hardcore" players, who feel that they need to directly influence the development of the game on some level.----

✭I don't get upset if I never get a chance to crack a beer with my citys planners and architects, but I still appreciate their hard work and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Point being, I don't see the need to interact with the developers, especially not in the form of a podcast/stream type situation. I'm fine with a developer plopping down new content without a word. Because frankly if the content doesn't impress me, I couldn't care less what they have to say, and if I do like it, it also doesn't matter what they say or think.
That said, something like this would be great back 6 months ago, when I was wondering what the game would be like and interested to know the vision the developers have for it. I usually watch streams from developers of indie games that are still in development. But, once a product has shipped, I can just play the game myself and form my own opinions, essentially the devs job of selling their vision is done. I don't take a Porsche for a test drive and then ask to speak with the designer, because I've just experienced it first hand.[DC/NA]3 -

To be honest, I dismissed your entire posts as blatant trolling for kicks up until this post.
I agree that most are not going to look for validation from the devs in regards to whether or not they like something. People are fickle and we're very much 'in the now' mindset as a society. I do think you're dismissing that people read the forums more than they post in them, and there is far more activity on Reddit and Tamriel Foundry than there ever has here on the official forums. However, you've under estimated the trickle down effect of the dev involvement with the game. This is an mmo, and mmos have a 'we're all in this together' mentality. If people think that this is a quality game with a promising community, they would be advertising. This affects the bottom line and attrition and it starts with the actions of the company and devs. Engaging with the community means that people will talk. Word of mouth is a very powerful advertising tool.Edited by Moiskormoimi on June 20, 2014 11:18PM0 -

✭I wonder why Wildstar has had to invest so much in advertising already?Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NARuze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.2 -

I don't take a Porsche for a test drive and then ask to speak with the designer, because I've just experienced it first hand.
I normally like to get all the information I can get before spending my money.
Of course people should get all the information they can to make their decision. I'm just saying that I personally have already spent the money(after a lot of research), so I personally don't really care about a developer livestream.
I'm also pretty sure that people who hate on this game, will continue to hate on the game even with weekly livestreams by the developers. No point in putting a cherry on your ice cream sundae if you don't like the ice cream.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they shouldn't do this, I'm just saying it wouldn't mean anything to me.[DC/NA]2
