I don't even know how to start this, but all I know is that this is pretty much me opening gates for a big flood of drama starting on the forums, but also probably me making the whole situation when it comes to the forum and game a whole lot worse.
I'm just a forum mod, I don't have any real work done with the actual FH game when it was made, neither do I claim knowing everything. I have just like any other person out there friends and enemies, I've also probably done quite a few bad calls when it comes to helping here on the site and in the game and I excuse for this, but now... I had enough, I never been one to cause drama for fun, but I will write a big post here expressing a thing or two that people deserve to know.
I have no idea what sort of impact this might have, I have no idea how some of my friends and people close to me will react to this either. I know this will be bad.. That's all I can say, but now it's time for the fist to hit the table and something to get done, and if I'm forced to take a depart while I'm at it because people demand it, then I will do so, but hopefully I will be speaking for more than just myself with this post. This will be a sensitive post for lots of people out there, and yes, it will be close to a bashing one.
So yeah.. What is this post about about? IT'S ABOUT THE GAME WE ALL PLAY, the reason why we are all here. Feralheart has been out for a while now and we have spent time with the game, the site and the community, but wherever we freaking go there's always something needing fixing, something causing arguments, something starting a storm. The game we love to play, is also something that clearly doesn't work out that well as it could.
Dear KovuLKD, creator of IT and FH, I have never been a long nice conversation with you personally and I should've probably tried to contact you somehow with this subject, but for a greater impact this is the way I choose.
Why can't you help, give the tools, let people help you with this FeralHeart game that you created?
There's tons of people here for your disposal to help you, people that spend hours each day to help with FH, hours making various addons for your game, taking care of the game you created, helping eachothers out.
We have a well working staff team here taking care of the rules guiding people with the game, yet everything from the actual game gets shot around all over the place, we never get any proper updates, there's obvious fixes the game needs and there's tons of things that could be done to improve the game and community by just placing the care in someone elses hands for a while. Yet, it seems like nothing is done about this?
The staff here on the forum, and the people around will not be able to do anything for this really to happen, YOU KovuLKD are the one in control of your game and what goes into it. The staff here simply help you with the game you created, keeping it clean and a more organized place for those who needs it. I myself in return only want the game to actually move somewhere and not work as a dead mammal in which we force adrenaline shots into to keep alive.
We love the game you've created, we only want it good, we want it to get proper updates, and if you don't got the time, don't have the energy, or just don't care, give the torch to someone else for a while that can make this happen. And if not that... Some cooperation with the staff that helps with your game? People should not need to come begging crawling for it, asking a few times should be enough.
I myself has been around since the start of launch now, trying to help with various things around FH, and I do not like one bit what I've seen so far when it comes to making this game move forwards, and this has been going on for months. I take respect in making things and updates takes time, but not everything does so, and when there's what I though obvious choices to make this game better, the choices always seem to go the other ways and it ALWAYS tend to make FH a harder place for the staff and the people that actually TRY TO HELP YOU.
There's changes that can be done to the game without even any need to really "work" on it. However, things like
-Group/chat glitches
-Mods not being able whisper
-Chat functions added
-Removing and possibly replacing the not working report button etc.
Are never getting sorted? When problems occur in the game, people come here, it doesn't matter if it's a problem with the game, or if there mods actions or the game lacking something. We have to take care of it even though in the end, you are the one that are able to make changes. Going around and making Facebook updates when you might aswell take a few extra clicks to post a proper new update on this site also confuses me. Not even a PM is sent out to the staff here about your plans. If you are going to run a game a certain commitment is needed.
Are the forum staff really that horrible that you don't want to come on the forum anymore? Also, are you not interested in knowing what the staff thinks needs to be changed or fixed for the game to work better and what actually needs changes? If it's not the community itself that knows what they want, they staff can see the demands and spend time here to make changes! Improve and perfect.
I have not seen a greater update since months back, and all off a sudden we get a FH+ game out of pretty much no where. I know the intentions were probably for the greater good, but to me it seems like a big lazy work. This has nothing to do with me or any other person wanting a finger in everything, by why was not the staff asked about what they'd think about YET ANOTHER VERSION of the game? I mean, we're the ones needing to take care of the things it causes afterall, but also the ones taking care of your game since day 1 after the release.
We got no questions asked about this FH+, neither what was truly needed for the game to be improved by this, instead we get 2 versions of the game we need to monitor and more problems in general. Also, no offence to Simba(TLK4EVER), but what exactly are the thought of FH+ and why does he get the go to make this version when the staff was never truly informed about this? A few maps, remakes and texture updates, there's no "true" need of it's own version. THESE COULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE ORIGINAL FH., and if not that, replaced now. Problems from the first version still exists, and we got more problems coming and going because of FH+.
2 versions of the game and people are magically expected to move over to a different version just because the choice is there? It wont happen..
This might sound like something dumb to say in a way, but if the staff here that actually works helping with your game and takes care of this forum would get power over such a version as FH+ is, we'd be able to take community input easily from what we see and update the game with maps and markings, emotes as we please and you wouldn't even need to do anything for the actual game. But instead we got this, and someone not even on the staff team not involved with what's going on here work on a new version? it's almost as if you try to provoke something at times.
This needs fixing non the less. Better communication is needed, more effort must go into fixing or adding things into the game that keeps it alive instead of kicking it to move, when we can let it walk on it's own if something is actually done. I myself got tons of ideas alone which isn't too hard to make, but would make wonders for the game, there's probably loads of others out there with even more of them.
I love FH, and being a part of the staff here knowing why I'm here, but I see no signs of things moving right now, and so far I've gotten disappointment after disappointment with calls I thought were clear as the sky, instead leaving me in complete frustration since I know very well which heights the game could be able to reach even with the most tiny effort and I will do one last try here to make something happen. I'm not going to sit around and pretend everything is perfect. See me as non fitting admin of the forum for posting this if you have to, but I'm here for the game afterall and I want it's best.
This had to been said and I really hope you read this kov.
