The attitude I saw in him back then is unfortunately very typical nowaday, since it has been brainwashed into us with advertisements all over our lifes.
I am touched you felt so strongly about my words to write a new chapter for the bible here. I almost didn't even catch my name in all that text... Look, opinions are not facts, just an expression of ones beliefs. I appreciate you trying to 'wake' me up and school me on the joys of using Discord, but it does not actually change my opinion of it in anyway and I am not going out of my way to be difficult here, I just prefer not to use Discord, period. All I have been really suggesting if you read between the lines, and other posters in this thread, is to see more activity from the devs on the forums. When I wrote about Laz, I was commenting on how he took the time to converse with his audience, which Marco used to do, but has done less and less of, but then he posted in this thread that it's because all of the dev's time is being sucked up by 2.0, so now I understand, but it would be nice to see a statement on their news feed reflecting this for other posters who may feel frustrated at the lack of communication, which again is a point I brought up about using the features already present on this website to communicate with the fans. And as I said, the lack of communication - in light of resurrection coming out soon - does raise questions to rather the mod will continue post D2R... Or at least it did initially until Marcos response. I am certain I'm not the only user feeling stressed about this, but it seems like such an easy remedy by updating the news feed, posting a weekly or bi-weekly blog on the announcements feed, something simple like, "still working on 2.0 guys! super excited, currently being play tested! you guys will fucking love it! best version yet! and we plan on d2r to actually bring more players to our servers and plan on continuing to support this mod until the money runs out, so keep donating", you know, something to that effect.
