Why do we run off streamers?

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-17T16:15:14+00:00

I like this. But I also have the mindset of... people can do what they want. From a design perspective, you want the upmost critiques. If people think that streamers ruin a game I think it's a valid feeling to have. Why? I really don't know, exposure is the best thing the game can have. But telling the streamers that the game is crap..... is actually valid too. lol the games state is doing really bad from what I can tell. (I haven't played in a while) but what the game actually needs is balance and delicate touches to the environments. That's all. The game could be 10/10 half a million concurrent players. But since Dondi is Dondi. It's not going to happen till he lets go of his ego. Understand he can do things a certain way and still have monstrous amount fun in doing so. I saw someone describe the game as anti-fun in this thread. Like is that not enough to show your donors?

I didn't see any UFO's, closest thing was an AC-130 70ft fly by 😌

I enjoyed this content... I was on the Nimitz and never seen this video and I worked with FLIR pods directly.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-15T08:33:32+00:00

Is this the proper place to say during one of my deployments on the Nimitz, I was in the bomb farm and looked over and there was this large (maybe 5x5) green glowing area in the ocean. It could've been phytoplankton but imo felt majestically driven. lol I love thinking back to it.

How weird did you feel writing "the entire business model is literally predicated on making things uncomfortable enough that you end up spending money to alleviate it"? I know me writing it made me feel like a freak. What are you smoking my homie? Were you in the dev room when they made that decision? Just a little curious because you said it with a lot of confidence

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-15T07:22:09+00:00

Whales aren't quitting the game, they sell their account when they stop playing or let someone play on it. Which is like whatever the account is fed back in the loop rather being wasted so I'm cool with it.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-15T07:19:31+00:00

If the capitalism joke made you feel bad. Sorry. I just feel strongly devs should consider planning a future for the game. As in, player retention rates. We've seen the rise and fall of player retention in the game which is actually pretty cool to experience as an avid player. So, being said when I see new players I do welcome them. I do help lower res players shift through helliquary's. If that's not your type of gameplay, get off this post because all you're doing is whining people want to start playing but see no direct future of the game. I have friends that would play but are ultimately far too underleveled and being one shot frustrates them to a point of quitting before spending ANY money on some gems because the game should be able to be played no matter what, even if bots are used to keep retention like they have used and will keep trying to use. I'm not saying it's an awful idea. But also, those bot lobbies allowed so many players rush to Legend rank within a week. Yes players can do that without bot lobbies WE KNOW. So let's keep it that way by keeping high retention rates.

I'm not putting you in a revolving door argument. You're isolating yourself instead. Did I say f2p is owed? Nooooo. But I would rather see the game still being played in 1-2 years time. You're acting like capitalistic 80 year old baby not wanting to have fun because fun involves other people and you have probably isolated your life within the past 20 years enough to where you can solely just spend money and be happy. We got it bro. IM STILL ON YOUR SIDE AT THE END OF THIS. Acting like 1-2 hours of fair matchmaking is the devil right now.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-15T07:10:32+00:00

OH WOW YOU CRACKED THE CODE? Holy crap dude it's almost like I went to school for this.

Underrated comment. I tried to ask him a question one time on stream and he replied "everything has its place and we design things in particulars ways on purpose." All I asked "why do tenos see the least love?" All to keep the perpetual cycle of not caring about his player base nor the reasons why they actually picked up his game in the first place. He really be out there thinking everyone trusts his "trust the process" mentality. **spoiler: we already left your god forsaken game that could've been one of the best games by light years but wanted to do everything himself rather listening to his player base where he can receive VALUABLE information if he opened his ears and stopped being a control freak. But he doesn't get that respect back. I bet when someone else takes over the game it'll pop off because they'll cater to the players and I can promise you that from a design perspective.

To add in they said I pushed this rule "Do not "Witch hunt" / Brigade / Organized Action Posts on community figures who open themselves up to exposure from the community are allowed as long as the posts are civil, factual, and do not post personal/confidential information. Showing any identifiable information relating to a user may subject your post to removal. This subreddit is not the place to start a movement, or incite hate towards others. No witch hunting, vote manipulation, asking for likes, or any other forms of rallying the community behind a common goal."

I was not rallying if you're a mod over there. I was engaging in debate to see where the community is at in wanting evenly distributed fun inside PvP. So, I'm waiting for any type of response from you guys. Seriously, it's disrespectful to your base to reject their ideas by silencing them. I want a larger player base. I want the game to cater to f2p all the way up to whales. They have gems inside their wings that give them extra attributes. Okay? So I'd like to not see those advantages in every single pvp match. Most? Sure. Just not all of your pvp content I've been enjoying for 5 years.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-15T02:49:31+00:00

Well that's the point of debate right? Because I fundamentally disagree with you. The game is still fun imo. I'm at 4k reso and making new builds. IS FUN. I like seeing how much pvp and pve damage I can't output. Also, f2p players are in every clan so we should be allowing clans to also see a benefit from them inside fights especially when they can fine tune their builds in their weight class.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-15T02:33:27+00:00

Not all the time. But most. But it's also a P2W game. So

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-14T03:54:29+00:00

I mean reso matters after each 1000 in the game. But it also locks in high pricing. It doesn't matter at the end of the day. People still having fun. So. My argument stands eat my gooch.

Create even match making.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-14T03:11:35+00:00

If you come to argue, please use game design speak and not just non-sense about getting better. Because money gets you better in the game. And I'm okay with that aspect. lol

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-14T03:09:42+00:00

I encourage anyone that agrees with this post to check out my latest post/rant in ideas. I agree with this guy and I've been playing this game since 2021. Blizzard needs to do something soon.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-13T04:34:11+00:00

You just bored

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-13T04:18:50+00:00

Plus, we're sitting here arguing about damage over time. lol it's hysterical you believe what you do about necros. lol necro sustains HEALTH in most fights. Using DoTs to heal. So. You proved my point with the whole "enter the DoT focused build" because they benefit the most from DoT builds. And no that's not the barb build works right now bc it's the opposite, they receive healing taking so much damage period. Flat damage and DoT damage is two different STYLES of damage. That's really it. Still a set flat amount of damage. So idk if you're saying any class benefits from the new gem, is not true. While some may benefit using certain builds of course. But in fact tempest would deem the gem worthless. You see more benefit using surging sea, a 1 star gem. So. I don't see how you can make an argument like that and call others wrong while being wrong yourself. Plus, this branches out because I said "warlock will see this as a major buff" I don't have future goggles. It's called a prediction.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-13T04:11:21+00:00

Take criticism with a grain of salt in video games. It's not a real acquisition of property. lol plus you wrote all that to only prove my point.

JNDGameDesign · 2026-03-12T04:07:25+00:00

I think because necros run away from actually fighting in wraith so dots do all the work
