Who is really optimistic about this game?

[Wolfie]

I'm optimistic but SE really need to learn how to keep the hype up for this game. When Yoshi-P first stepped in and took over the mood was great. Now it's like they are trying so hard to communicate on a busy schedule that they just throw some generic copy/paste answer in our direction(it's getting old now SE).

I think how Yoshi-P showed off AA was a good step since we know what it will look like, ideas on weapon delay, and even received a look at 2 WS new animations. It is still under development so we are able to at least give feed back on content that is...STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT!

I would much rather see a 2-3 min video min video of what they are working on rather than some vague responses. That's just 1 of the non-important PC player thoughts however.

This would be a great start indeed. The first things Wada and Yoshida said with the team change is that they plan on regaining customer trust and communicating more. Posting the same old "we can't do X" or "we're looking into X" or "I will bring X to the devs" is a non-response. It's only one step above being completely quiet.

The letters from the producer were a great series, but they need to be way more detailed. We need status of what's holding up development so much, with a very detailed analysis (hint hint, tell us what this "core programming issue" is). We need to know what their exact thoughts are on fixing X or Y, even if the solutions are not correct or what we need (so that we may tell them otherwise). A big chunk of the player polls from the beginning of the year have seen no sort of follow-up.
