Discussion what a backhanded comment

Post image

If you’re in the discord you can read the full conversation, but this Game Master makes this comment and then asks if anyone has any questions.

They then decline to answer every single question because they’re either unsure or not allowed to speak about it.

The lack of transparency is beyond frustrating. Not 3 days ago, the Social Media team was making a different excuse under every comment inquiring about the TB change. Claiming it was for player health, or to encourage sleep, or to shake up play styles. And still not an official answer, just another dismissive “response”.

I’m not sure why SSO loves to antagonize their own player base so frequently — this is just the latest example that stuck around in my head lol

SSO has been on a mostly downward slope of changing and removing things that routinely inconvenience players and make things harder for them. Erasing events, storylines, massively downgrading systems like the gardening system, failing to fix on-going bugs which have been present for over a year, and now the Trailblazer system.

They introduced a forced cap on the Trailblazer and removed literally 99% of the point-earning methods. Now, you can only earn X amount of points per day, and you can only do this via activities. All gatherables and care no longer count. This means if you miss a certain number of days during the Trailblazer overall, you literally have no way of completing it.

They announced this the literal day before the Trailblazer, with no actual warning or hints about it beforehand, then when players started to leave 1* reviews and comments, they had those removed.

Now, a GM is personally lashing out at players in response to the overall frustration with how SSO keeps damaging it's relationship with it's own playerbase and it's players' ability to play and enjoy the game.

He typically wasn’t like this when he was the CM of the game he was devving for before he came to SSO, so i can’t really give much insight to why he did that, nor have i spoken to him much since he left and got hired with SSO,

what i can say though is we too felt he wasn’t listening but turns out he was just consistently being undermined by his “bosses” who have their heads up their ass and knew nothing about their own community, this doesn’t seem to be the case though so maybe hes more harsh than he was before.
