As the person who started this thread I'm positive this thread (or the GC) has never accused you guys of being "sinister" or "conniving"...but yes there have been decisions made that I or others have questioned
There have been many good things introduced to the game...the TG shop, some of the new traits, the new season 7 episodes, and many others...and I've dished out praise when it's deserved
But then there are things like interrupt being removed or not being able to find good high level gear reliably that make me scratch my head...I've racked my brain trying to figure out what kind of data indicated it would be best to remove interrupt...I know personally it's caused my interest to play to wane and spend less money and I'm sure I'm not alone
I personally feel if you want to make the game as great as possible you'll listen to the players more and rely less on data...I know in my business the opinions and feelings of my clients (especially the highest spending ones) will always trump any data...but again this is just my personal preference...I'm more of a social/gut feeling sort of person than a data analyst so maybe we're just at 2 opposite ends of the spectrum
P.S. Here's a tip...I know MANY players from this game...not a single one wants to be "adversarial" with you or anyone at NG...in fact quite the opposite...they WANT to play and spend more money on the game (most everyone I know loves the gas and XP boosters)...I know I personally would love to get back to wasting tons of money on the game again...just some friendly advice

The disconnect between what I read in game and what I read here only grows. My guildmate is not a forum user and to try to explain what is actually going on with his gear takes an entire coffee night. I'm so glad he's local.
@Shteevie Im sure players don't mind the/a harder challenge, but EXP was significantly lowered from level 15+ Freeman while their Health increased dramatically. EXP is always running short at higher levels, but to have to work harder for less is really tough to swallow.
Making a event from a challenge like this would have been a great idea, the shooter event was nice: but I, probably like most, abandoned the challenge for EXP runs to take advantage of the event. Extra reward bounties for Freeman or for challenge stars would have tied into last season's theme.
New content is great, Tradeshop awesome, a lot of the trait changes that came around the same time, not so much New enemies, maps, and season 7 missions magnificent
I refrained from replying to shteevies post because I hoped someone like yourself who can be more verbaly refined and constructive could say what I wanted to but without my vocabulary which is often short, blunt,. Untactile and to the point
Whether it's accurate or not, when one sports the GC badge that person's post is going to reflect on the GC. Js it's hard to know the difference sometimes when reading other threads
@Shteevie Here's an idea. Instead of crunching numbers and analyzing data, actually play the game a lot (and I mean at grinding levels at the high level) and introduce changes that make/keep the game fun to play when you have to do that. Gas boosters and xp boosters are a waste if you don't enjoy the gameplay. I have waited 3 updates for substantive new content (new story episodes, completely new challenges, new exploration maps, missions that I would be happy to grind for the substantial xp and tomatoes needed at the high level) to make the game fun and not seen it. The episode 7 missions are nice, but only give me 7 new missions a week in total (half a day of interest). At this point, I am pretty much done (just collecting resources and playing episode missions). I am telling my guild that I am leaving, and will pretty much be ending my gameplay with this game.
The people I talk to don't want to be adversarial and if you look at my history in the forums you will see for that my comments were mostly positive, helpful and appreciative for the 1st few months I was here. As the game became increasingly monetized and less and less fun, my behavior changed.
I'm straightforward and honest, sometimes blunt, in my opinions and don't beat around the bush*. If that's seen as adversarial, then whosoever sees that just needs to grow a pair!

Those are the figures for compass point west and that is a good arpdau according to gaming standards. I'm sure TWD: NML does much much better multiplied by many more players so that's very interesting find. Thanks!
I just wanna know whos the guy who took away my interrupt...

100%.
Interrupt.
Problem solved....

All colors of interrupt are 100%, but
bronze only activates on critical,
silver on Crit & Normal,
Gold on all shots types.
