If transparency is as important to you as you say it is

Then why is there all these questions you can't give a straight answer to? Why is it that it seems like some feedback and questions you can't ignor. Wait a minute, I know your excuse for that. Something tk the effect of you can't get around to every question and bit of feedback. Maybe mention the forum is very active. Even though it apparently isn't active enough to warrant it being somebody's job to answer the forums. I suspect you're going to read this, respond to it reassuring me that you're totally committed to transparency, respond to a couple posts on forums every day for a couple weeks, and then go back to business as usual.

Whatever

You also said forums is also a place where a lot of valuable player to player discussion is generated. Maybe you should put a spotlight on ppayer to player discussions from time to time. It would be cool if you sometimes chimed in too. Minecraft devs and hytale devs will sometimes chime in on community discussions wherever they're happening. Even in unofficial channels. And this is an official one for mech arena and it hardly gets that treatment. We get no statements, no opinions.

Why was the last dev Q&A 8 months ago? Why was the last interview with a content creator 6 months ago? When was the last time you put a face in front of the community to answer questions?

Hytale devs and team members do interviews much more frequently than mech arena. Minecraft team does it much more too. FREAKING MINECRAFT! THE BEST SELLING GAME OF ALL TIME AND ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR GAMES IN THE WORLD TODAY!!! Somehow they can find the time for that and you can't. 

And when they answer questions, they usually don't leave you with more questions. Compared to mech arena the team with who communication is comparatively very one way. And when you do answer questions it can leave us with more questions. And then those questions don't get answered. And it makes it hard for the community to hold you accountable. And I feel like you do that deliberately.

I don't see how you can tell me transparency is importan to you while I'm telling you by my observation it really isn't. And I never saw a promise to do better or any questions about how I felt you could improve transparency. You just tell me it's important repeatedly while I tell you that feels like a lie. It makes me feel like you think I'm stupid. But I can look and point to actual examples of transparency and I can tell you mech arena isn't anything like them.

If transparency is as important to you as you say it is THEN STOP TELLING ME IT IS AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

Happy monday

To Velocity's credit they did pitch in last week a bit but we'll see how long it lasts

By the way Velocity, what pronouns do you go by? I don't want to assume anything

Hey! 

Happy Monday to you, too! Happy you noticed the engagement last week.

As for pronouns, you can refer to me with she/her pronouns 😉

I hope that does mean putting faces in front of the community to answer questions and feedback more often.
