(sorry for the double post, something weird bug when trying to upload the gif?)

Get yo essays ready! It’s going to be a fun fun week of battling casuals with our internet swords.

Will be fun, much exciting.

wuh-o
i definitely think this warrants for another fractal scale reset!

inb4 first CDI to get locked and trash-canned.

Haha, this is perfect. If this happened, at the same time dungeon sub forum would be trash canned, not even archived.

Would lol hard.

But hey, I’m excited. Looking forward to Nike re-posting his essay from Fractured!, that was a good one.

make sure this gets seen pls:

Haven’t seen a better summary anywhere else, and it’ll save everyone the trouble of typing up a wall of text.

That’s the one! It’s slightly out of date (dredge part needs to be updated) but should be mostly good.

I cant wait for them to take the constructive feedback and

Gotta be positive, Swifty. It’s a rare chance.

Yeah. We really gotta put our best attitudes and optimism forward, since Chris really only responds well to constructive discussion.

This is just yet another ploy to squeeze out a few more weeks/months of lots of words but no action.

We ask for dev interaction on topics that are important to us, and we’re getting dev interaction on topics that are important to us. If we can communicate clearly what we want (this is something that ANet does not seem to understand at the moment, for whatever reason), then we can hope for real changes. Might as well give it a shot and see what happens.

We shall see.

I have trust issues. :(

I would happily welcome a reset at this point.

“If we can communicate clearly what we want!?” You have got to be joking. We’ve seen more than enough well-written, well-communicated lists of issues, concerns and suggestions. If Anet cares to look, they can easily find these. Talk, talk, talk, is all they do. But this time, they’ll really do something, right? This time it’ll be different.

I’d like to see Anet resolve one of the serious issues first as a sign of good faith.

They’ve never actually promised to listen before— that’s why the CDI things are ‘new’. Moderators have always moved our topics into the dungeon forum-hole where they would never be seen, etc. But here? Chris is going to read every post. That’s something that has not happened to us in a long time.

Listen, I’m as skeptical as anyone else, but cynicism benefits no one here. If you end up being right, you are all encouraged to point and laugh at me, Nelson style. I’ll laugh at myself too! It’ll be funny.

But if this actually works? And the game gets fixed, and develops in a way we actually want? Then we all win. It’s worth a shot. The only cost is a few days worth of positive, constructive posts, which everyone in this forum is very capable of making— I’ve seen how helpful and eloquent and insightful this community can be.

I know it has been said already, but now is our time to shine. We have asked before for Dev response, but now we have an official spot to do so.

I do hope someone links my old Fractured for them (I’d do it but with a 3600 flood control it is hard to post things) with a few updates for the things that are resolved and new stuff we found.

My number one new suggestion is going to be using TAFU as a 3rd tier fractal. Replace dredge with TAFU and it would be even better.

Me too, also I’m afraid if I say anything it will come out mean or harsh. I articulate better when I’m raging.

They need to nerf dredge, that is my only problem. It takes like 3 times as long to do that as any other fractal and it’s tedious and annoying.

I’m also pessimistic, but we might as well give it a shot and try to get rewards, bugs, dredge, etc. fixed. There’s nothing to be gained being combative or dismissive here.

I do like this part, though. “If there is still concern surrounding how seriously we take community collaboration then please do take the time to think about how much impact the community has had on the working of this game over the year.” It’s like they want to remind us that the community has had zero impact on the way dungeons and fractals have changed over the year.
