The Community

This, right here, is why the official forums should be the only place feedback gets solicited.  Subreddits are a toxic backside for the internet and have been for nearly everything.

It's pretty obvious when decisions get made from other sources----it gets toxic here.  Design council takes notes there, and misses the mark, despite being well intentioned, etc.

It's actually pretty astonishing how issues are perceived here and in game, versus the other social media sites.  In game appears to be on the same page as the official forum far more often than not.

As far as community in total...it leaves it pretty divided.  You've got people that actually believe PvE shouldn't have balance, and people that do.  People that believe that RNG everything is great, people that want it reduced.  People that believe hours in a single mission is challenge and reward, people that don't.  If focus was made to go a specific direction, it'd draw a specific crowd----or if energy was(and is much better than it used to be) used to appeal to both crowds relatively equally.

Overall, it's not all that bad.  Most people that REALLY take to be a shouting pain in the butt are the minority.  Most of the community is just fine.

I agree for the most part.

 

I would counter that in game, at least in region chat on ps4, is just nonstop trolling though. It's not cancerous opinion policing, "play-the-meta-or-get-banned" nonsense, but people just sit on region spamming garbage for hours on end without getting banned (or they get kicked and somehow come back 30 seconds later).  Makes it hard to have any real conversations and watching people saying "kill yourself" and making pedo jokes every 5 seconds definitely doesn't make the community look good.

 

Not sure if PC/xbox has that issue as well.
