So I’ve tried typing this out a couple times and it never quite works out how I want it to… So bear with me if this seems somewhat disjointed and rambly.
Background
So as many of you may / not be aware, over the past couple years I have dedicated an inordinate amount of time to this game, the community and everything else. I don’t regret a moment of that time, maybe a couple of the $$ spent, but not a moment of the time.
However, over the past 4-6 months I’ve been becoming less and less invested in the game and more and more frustrated with the direction that SGG and development team seem to be taking the game. This frustration has then had flow-on effects to most other elements of the game, sucking some of the glow and enjoyment out of everything.
It’s come to a head recently with a couple things that have come into beta, primarily the Limit Breakers and Costumes for Non-S1 Heroes…
I haven’t made a secret of it or been silent about my views on these topics and my view seems to be fairly unanimously held by most of the rest of the communtiy… But in spite of the overwhelming feedback, the Developers seem hell-bent on progressing these ideas.
Going Forward
So I guess the real purpose of this thread is, beyond having a sook and another whinge, is to say a soft “farewell” of sorts… I have tried cutting back somewhat (see here: Future of Recurring Forum Threads) but I find myself still needing more space…
I will still be around and I’ll still pop in and out of the forum but I won’t be nearly as prolific as before both in terms of posting and thread creation…
Beta Beat
I won’t be continuing to do the beta-beat stuff. I just don’t enjoy Beta in the slightest anymore; the content I hate and the feedback that gets given is, buy and large, ignored with devs just doing what they want anyways.
I am unsure who / if anyone will pick this project up which was started by @zephyr1 but if anyone is interested they can @ me or PM me and we can discuss. (Line = Guvnor81; Discord = #Guv3699)
Raid Tournaments
I don’t think I will be continuing to make these either. I have pre-done threads through to end of July which will auto-publish but after that… idk… see how it’s going.
Challenge Events
I won’t be making new threads for these either. The old ones are all now of a standard format where the only thing that really changes is the date at the top. All other information is pretty standard and uniform now so there isn’t any reason that the latest ones can’t become a master of sorts
Monthly Summons
I won’t be creating new Monthly Summon events (specifically Valhalla, Costumes or Underwild). I may have a go at making a master for each like I did with Atlantis but… idk.
New Heroes
Idk… I haven’t really decided on this… I expect that I won’t continue with these threads… I have the format & template pretty well down-pat so it’s not difficult to make them… Just don’t have the interest currently (hence why Elradir was a little late).
Close Off.
As I said, I’ll still be around and may pop in and out of threads and the forum generally; and there may well be a resumption of my thread making down the track… But for now…
I still plan to keep playing for a while yet. I’m loving my alliance (Shout-out to my Seven Days Hunting mates) and enjoy some aspects of the game a lot (Tournaments & Wars mainly)… I also am still having a lot of fun in Puzzle Combat so I’m not severing ties with SGG and the awesome staff peoples (@kiraSG & @petri are AWESOME people)…
And you’ll still have the other fantastic mods who volunteer so much time & effort for such little return (@Rook @Dudeious.Maximus @littleKAF & @JonahTheBard you guys rock!)…
One thing that @zephyr1 pointed out, quoting from @Gryphonknight:
So yeah; cyas round
