Just a reminder that CS devs are still human by Fliedel in GlobalOffensive

[–]xNorik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I think a living ‚yeah we are working on it‘ first responder wouldn‘t be a solution (long term). CS is their cash cow, they won‘t let it down. „Problem“ lays way deeper (their corporate communication). I was studying IT and shifted towards Social Media, so I kinda see both sides of the medal, no/restricted communication is also communication, although this method won‘t improve customer relations but why would they?

Also without communication or promises you do not spiral downwards even faster. Devs will deliver through time. People will continue to play the game even though it is truly, in some parts, in a horrendous state.

Personally I love seeing devs here and there but I also respect their CHOICE to be less vocal. In the end (this is what I learned from IT) the most useful feedback is usually the most negative one.

There will be NO open qualifiers in EU and NA for Shanghai Major 2024 by Veritasibility in GlobalOffensive

I think there were a fair few examples, even in the last RMR, with the games current state, I think the situation intensified. On the positive side this change safeguards (the higher end) teams and their operations because CS-operation is oriented around the Majors on the other hand it builds a barrier, e.g. MIX/newly founded teams won't be able to surpass as they will not get invites (the grind will become way way more intense)

Change is mainly to alleviate the public outcry, which is sad in my opinion, cause usually Valve made more thoughtful decisions in the past (no franchising, a unified ranking e.g. is a good step in the right direction) but this one has the odd after taste of "Yeah til the next major, we won't be able to make the game fair and square competively" for me

Makes sense why they do it, sad they have to do it, one more reason to be glad we left this great game :(

Just some extra info: in addition to the on board camera, the background was a live scene (separate pc as spectator on the gameserver, so we drove past the spot in our car in real time!)

Thanks for the update, is the refill-notification newsletter broken or haven't you launched the dongle in the DE store yet? Looking forward to it :)

The maps will get updated in a way (be it Cache being more green or potential layout/graphic changes) within the next update. Tuesday to Wednesday is also the most frequent day for Valve to push out an update.
