What's the point of playing an early access if it is not to feel engaged with the game's developmment ?
Sure they patched the game and "listenned" to players feedback, but reaction was in exemple a VERY HOT topic during 3 years.
It wouldn't have hurt them to keep us updated a bit even if it was just by saying something like "we are still thinking about reactions".
You mean like
this? ^^
Yipie, 2 years after EA launch and you had to find THE message^^
This community is partly poison and Larian cannot and does not have to respond to such players. The fact that they haven't closed their forum like BioWare surprises me, I can at least understand BioWare when I read some comments from "fans".
Larian tries to stick to existing lore and doesn't have to respond to all the feedbac from the "fans" and constantly comment.
If worse fans than you are hadn't criticized the game you would still jump like a frog during combats (but I guess you haven't played previous EA patch 5).
If Larian had better engaged with the community, maybe with polls in exemple, I'm sure many of the worst things in the game would have been better.
Just check how UI improvement and camera mods are popular... Not like if we (forums, reddit,...) hadn't reported these issues for years.
