I’m sure you’ve noticed, but there is very little middle ground on this forum. We love you for DD GM buffs, but hate you for making the dodges GMs. We have numerous threads complaining about things, suggesting changes, and talking about builds. It’s because we are passionate about this class. Please don’t take our rage personally, but know that when we blow up at a change it’s because we play this class a lot and the changes you make affect our ability to enjoy doing that on at least some level.

I think the largest contributor to our salt level lately is that we feel pretty shafted by lack of communication. The steal change today isn’t even in the notes. We have no acknowledgement of any of our recent bugs. Are you aware of them? Is withdraw supposed to have 10% extra healing, or not? How do you feel about the state of thief relative to other classes? Do you even want our input?

Before HoT released, you specifically asked for input on the elite specs. Do they work well, are they fun/interesting to play, etc. We would appreciate a continuation of that attitude. Acknowledge bugs and let us know if they are being worked on. Ask us how we feel about certain aspects of our class. Listen to our input and tell us if you will actually consider our ideas. And please don’t feel bad if some players blow up at you.

You guys are awesome, but sometimes when you’re quiet we start imagining you as uninterested and incompetent. We assume the worst unless told otherwise.

Edit: fellow thieves, please keep it civil in here. You can rage at (politely discuss) the patch notes in any of the numerous threads about it. If you sat down for coffee with Karl, what would you want to talk about (I imagine it wouldn’t involve yelling and accusations)?

I already stated that they haven’t been communicating. Hyperbole is almost never helpful, and is more likely to discourage anyone from actually giving us a response.

Thank you for this post.

As for the steal change, there’s a good chance it’s a bug or not supposed to be there, but if it’s not, oh well.

Withdraw.

what the actual hell.

because if Karl can’t explain that, then I don’t think there’s much more to be said.

I feel like it was left out by accident but they decided it was strong enough and didn’t need the buff so they left it that way. No way to know unless they say something though.
