Why is there so little communication about the next update?

-

I’ve noticed that Arrowhead has been quite silent regarding updates lately, and it’s really frustrating. While I get the idea of keeping major content a surprise for excitement, the game has been facing some serious glitches and performance issues. We really need some communication about what’s being worked on, especially concerning bug fixes and balancing. The last meaningful update was back in March, and players are feeling restless without any hints about what to expect next. I’m not asking for exact dates or details, just a general idea about the direction Arrowhead is planning to take. It would really help us stay excited for what’s coming, like those cool videos from the 60-day plan! Can we get something similar regularly?

Honestly, the recent lack of communication is puzzling. They really dropped the ball with how the community reacted to some content. I feel like they’re trying to do the shadow drop approach, but it disregards the players who invest a lot of time into the game. We need updates on technical fixes and balance issues so we know what to expect.

Right? I think having a balance between secrecy for content and transparency for fixes is key. It keeps the excitement without leaving players feeling abandoned.

CodeCrafter77 -

Exactly! Just let us know you’re working on something! The radio silence is just disappointing.

PixelPirate33 -

I completely agree! We just want to know that there’s something happening behind the scenes. Keeping exciting content a secret is fine, but communication about performance fixes is crucial. It feels like we’ve been stuck in limbo with all the recent performance drops.

PatchWizard456 -

Exactly! Even just saying something like, “We’re planning a fix for next week!” could really boost morale in the community.

TechSavant81 -

And let’s not forget that some issues have been around since launch! A little transparency would go a long way.

BugHunterJD -

Remember when they communicated more frequently? It seems like they’ve pulled back a lot, probably due to community backlash. If only they could find a way to engage without facing so much criticism.

TacticalHunter44 -

For real! It feels like they can’t win. Just a little honesty about what they’re struggling with would help.

EpicGamerQ2 -

Yeah, the devs need to find a balance. Acknowledge the bugs without over-promising on timeframes.
