So this is how your devs handle upset customers?

Great to know your devs have 0 *** given.

While I think the drama is completely unwarranted, this tweet reminds me of a certain "if you having lag problems I feel bad for you son" post. ZOS should be the last people to stir the hornet's nest.

We don’t have to be here, you know.

I don’t blame Rich. Ya’ll mofos need to get a grip.

But, I’m not making money off ya’ll mofo’s.

So I can say stuff like that.

Hallothiel

Well that just made me laugh!

Seriously get a fecking grip! It’s a game!

I actually replied to him in this, it is a pretty big slap in the face and pretty tone deaf based on the concerns of the community regarding game performance and the direction it is being taken. These things could literally all be squelched with more communication on the Devs end though, but will we ever see that?

When your product is a dumpster fire of basic functionality issues and it keeps getting patches consisting of hatchet jobs reeking of incompetence and desperation, you shouldn't be so cavalier.

I was wondering if it's the same person. He seems to have a poor choice of words. I hope he's not in a job where he represents the company.

This is why we can't have communication and jokes between Devs and the community.

Any time one of the ZOS staff try to make a joke a small part of the community takes it and throws it in their face.
Understand when a joke is a joke and not something more. If you can't even take jokes any more then you've reached a very unhealthy place, step back and relax.

now that's some funny s8it right there

Look at the entitled adult babies on the forums and tell me this isnt a proper response. Get over yourself.

SirLeeMinion

Nah, the world hasn't ended... just my time in their world. As noted above, we don't have to be here. I think I'll be spending my time in Eve online seeing if the absence of local in that world brings it crumbling down.

If the game functioned at the level it was supposed to and the communication was at a respectable level with the community I would agree that this would be a useless point by the OP. But since we are not there, and have not been for some time, I do not disagree that this was a pretty meh thing to post by Rich.

There are plenty of jokes he could have made that didn't poke his customers who have issues with the busted stuff they don't address.

Instead of coming here to help put out fires, or address people who pay for his product - he goes to a public forum to ridicule us.

Stay classy, Rich.

I get what you're saying. But when we are promised better communication time and time again, and all they can do is comic relief, it gets old.

Again, go to the forums and look around. Some of you should be ridiculed. This is ***. ITS A VIDEO GAME THAT HAS SOME CHANGES YOU DONT AGREE WITH. YOUR LOVED ONES WILL NOT DIE BECAUSE ONLY ONE HEALING ORB>

We can't have communication and jokes because unfunny and comedically tone-deaf disregard isn't really taken as the height of jocularity?

Keyworld: PTS. I think he means you should all calm down since it's not live.

Sigh... let's see what youtuber quits game and comes back in a few months this time.

True. But in the same token it might be different if Zos actually improved communication with us vs just saying they will work on that. Sort of give us a big picture look at the wholistic change being made this year instead of having us wait for each PTS cycle.

If they actually communicated well and we saw this behavior then it would be a different story.

Casul

Lol I think that is pretty funny. And that's coming from someone who probably won't be able to break 50k dps next patch because of the nerfs.

The situation is what it is, may as well just adapt and try to soften the blow as best I can.
