Due to the currently ongoing testing of the shared stash, the servers aren't too stable, causing some item loss. This is why we've been keeping a low profile about it, because we don't want to further promote it until we get things into more of a stable spot. Until now, Requiem has been echoing discord announcements in the Goblin Patch Notes thread, but I agree there is some truth to the issues raised here, the communication could've been better. The reason for the lack of it is due to all of it going to the beta team, which needs it. We'll try to do better

This is relatable, I joined the MXL Discord when it was already 2 years old. But you're comparing forums & discord as if they are some sort of competition between each other. The reason discord has seen more frequent updates than other venues is that it's very practical and efficient. Forum's expectations wouldn't be satisfied by a topic with a single screenshot. These are a better place for having a great explanation or discussion about a new feature. And don't get me wrong, we love those. But we usually leave them for when the bulk of our work is already done.
