I'm certain that the general sentiment from here, steam, reddit etc are monitored, and considered, but that does not mean that action will follow,
Which is why communication is so important. Part of the idea of Early Access is more communication with the developer. This includes both maybes, we don't want to say yets, yesses, and nos. Not getting any response at all, however, is falling short of the expectations.
Larian are communicating, you are just not listening, because they are not saying what you want them to.
These forums alone have ~100,000 posts, so Larian are hardly going to be able to address forum posters directly, even assuming they wanted to. The largest topic ( support for RTwP ) is only about 2% of posts, so no single topic has enough interest to claim it is a majority concern.
Each time they put out an update, Larian produce a description, a video, or a livestream ( with optional cows ) that tells you what they are thinking, and what they have been working on. If those communications don't give any definite information - "yes" or "no" - concerning an issue important to you, then that issue falls under "we don't want to say yet".
Well yeah. We are on this forum because unlike the others, we do care.
Really? You think that the <1% of EA players that post their opinions to various forums "care", but the >99% of players that shelled out the same full price for an EA game "don't care"? Perhaps the majority simply took Larian at their word and are giving their feedback through playing the game? Maybe some people that bought the game actually like it?
People are on this forum because they want to communicate with Larian about the game, we want BG3 to become a great game and are trying to be involved in the process and discussion of how DnD5e should be translated to a videogame.
Well, Larian did ask for our opinions, so you can surely give them your opinion, including how you think 5e should be implemented. Although, as the 5e rules are not actually very complicated, I'm not sure that Larian have any difficulty understanding them.
Just as someone interested in forum interactions themselves, I'm finding the rise of "be positive you fucks!" type posts lately. I'm struggling to understand why they are increasing and the motivation behind them.
Perhaps in reaction to the significant number of "I've told them what they're doing wrong and they aren't listening" posts? Some ideas seem to be discussed in a neutral manner, but others seem to devolve into self-interest groups trying to shout louder than the others.
At least most people remain polite, most of the time.
