Discord criticism

[Stolas]

Even though I haven’t played the game myself yet,I’ve noticed something within the discord server these past days since the release of beta that I would like to bring up,specifically regarding constructive criticism and feedback of DU. I’ll try to keep this as short and as straight to the point as I can.
 

I’ve noticed that a few or couple of alpha backers would dogpile and look down on newcomers who give any sort of constructive criticism and feedback to the game. I won’t name names and point fingers for obvious reasons. This is something I’m highly against as constructive criticism and feedback is how a game gets better. A lot of the time these new players genuinely want the game to improve and grow into something bigger and better and are free to share their thoughts and opinions. Constructive criticism is always welcome in any game regardless of it’s developmental stage,be it alpha,beta or even full release. Don’t view it as slander or insult,they’re both different things and should be treated differently. I get that a you guys really love your game but please don’t defend it for the wrong reasons. Don’t dog pile and shit on any newcomers who give constructive criticism and feedback,it’ll just make them want to leave and I doubt anyone who enjoys the game would want players to leave the game since that accounts to less players. Plus,it gives off bad vibes of the community in general.

 

Second point I wanna make real quick is don’t disguise slander and insult as “constructive criticism and feedback”. This applies to anyone in the community. Most of the time people can see straight through your bs.

These are just my opinions,feel free to disagree if you would. They are my perspectives,you may have different perspectives from mine and that’s fine.

TL;DR: sike,read the whole thing don’t be lazy

I agree with you in some points. 

But lets not start discriminating ppl because of they backer level. 

Not all of us, alpha backers, will defend NQ's actions and results to the death. 

Not all of you beta players will be right in your criticism and feedback. 

 

1st of all, we have seen and experienced more. We have debated more basic game concepts, bugs, exploits than you could have in this 4 days. 

Some ppl think this gives them unquestionable knowledge about what is best for the game. 

 

But at the same time, this does give us some experience that you dont have. 

 

Mostly about how great this game can be if NQ can fix this very unpleasant bugs. 

It is our understanding, that if you just wait, sooner or later, this game will be playable and enjoyable. 

 

We have been here for years, on the bad moments and good moments. 

Cant you wait 1 or 2 weeks before passing judgment?

I agree with almost everything you said,don’t get me wrong here I’m not judging people(hence why I said I’m not gonna point fingers). I’m just giving my opinions from my perspectives as someone who hasn’t played yet but has been following development for years. But I never said all alpha backers will defend NQ’s actions to the death,I said a few or a couple.
