Noo_Noo, on 05 March 2019 - 08:23 AM, said: Please enlighten us to some of the finer aspects of your
role. So the online facts are false? If not then you were
wrong. High skill cap / requirement is one thing. A poorly balanced
vehicle is another. If you have different facts why not present
them because at the moment many people that have viewed and
contributed on the RHM thread simply dont believe you when they
have a source of what appears to be reliable information that
clearly contradicts what you are saying. If it isn't a poorly
balanced vehicle then we ask you to simply prove it but as it
stands it appears that not even the best players in the game can
get an even win loss balance in it.
That basically leads to people not believing a word you say and increasing levels of mistrust in you and WG. Which brings me back to my point. If part of your role is to form a strong relationship with the player base how can that happen when the player base doesn't trust you or believe what you say? It's a slippery slope.
I note you haven't replied any further to comments on the RMH thread. Again that doesn't help build a relationship.
A huge issue that WG has with the player base is that the players often struggle to understand the direction the game is going and why certain decisions are made. I would personally thought that this would have been a gap that a Community Manager would try to close. As it stands you're making it wider. The level of mistrust is growing and do you honestly now believe that dropping player numbers is a result of natural wastage as you have claimed elsewhere, when in reality this stressed relationship exists?

Sfinski, on 08 March 2019 - 02:49 PM, said: Could you provide your so called facts then? All you've said RHM is hard to play that has nothing to do with its balance. You've compared it to BC which is also hard to play, but also performs well/great in the hands of a good player, unlike the RHM. So you proved RHM is not balanced yet can't even understand it. And to top it all off, you were condescending towards the community, who, unlike you, provided actual facts of the matter. Facts that you fail to understand, facts that you try to undermine by saying you posses better facts or should we call them "alternative facts". ALL of this is HIGHLY unprofessional behavior. And when the community didn't believe your BS, you just left the thread and ignored it all. Again, professional move I have to say.

I live in Denmark, and in every battle, i experience some wierd stuff, like Blank shots - bullets go though opponent - delay, like firing and server react ½ sec later, so i misses my shot - or dont even see opponents, in sight range and in the open field, before they shoot. ????? Worst part atm, is the BUGGY HE ammo, for me in this case, even WG tells us to use it when we meet heavys on the field. Got a replay with a HE ammo duing 550dmg, hitting Skorpion G on turret. NOTHING with the 1st shot, 2nd did dmg.??????? I think this game has the worst servers ever. Do explain, and know what kind of game you are working for. plz. PS, this is NOT ok.!!!

It reminded me of Eek's defence of it and reference to 'more facts' which apparently give him insights which us mere plebs don't have, and which he won't share or explain. I came to the forum to express my frustration but found that Sfinksi had already covered the points I wanted to make (below, with slight editing) I will be very interested to read Eek's eventual response...

eekeeboo: You can find many of the aspects of my role in the original
post in what I clearly outline I do that you will see. The rest you
will see over time and from just observing activity and looking at
all platforms like Facebook and Reddit, discord servers, twitch
streams. If you're uncertain what community management usually
entails we're working on something but a google search will
demonstrate much of the fundamental principles.

eekeeboo: It's been tempting, but for the most part I've been waiting
for the initial surge to die down, otherwise people will ignore the
thread anyway

eekeeboo: The Batchat can perform well, as can the RHM, that's why the
comparison was made. You ask for actual facts but take no
consideration into what I've said, basic balancing and game
development principles and the important between them. Sharing WN8
distribution trends are not the thing that developers will look at,
they will look at popularity, and performance across multiple
variables and maps and break it all down then begin with key tanks
like the E100 and Leo 1 line as well as the Swedish Heavies that
have revently begun testing on the ST server. You ask
for reasoning and explanation when it's given it's condescending.
There is a stage at which you can accept the reasoning and
justification or not, how you take it, is up to you. I give you
straight answers, after that if you want to call me a liar because
you don't want to listen, this on you. When I leave a thread, it's
because there are literally hundreds of threads every day and I'm
allowed to have weekends off, work on other projects and be on
other platforms. Please be aware my job means I don't
spend all day every day in the same threads, if a thread moves from
the first 1-2 pages I am unlikely to see it because quite simply
there is that much to do. 16:37

eekeeboo: I definitely have my frustrating moments and feel the same
things as other players! I've had the moments with things like MT12
mission or the TD15 mission and bouncing the last shell that i
needed for 8k and so on. I have the same RNG, MM, and teams as
everyone else. I made sure to focus on having fun and enjoying what
I can when I can than pushing stats and other things. If I get
frustrated, I take a break and play other games Now this is the
answer to your question, the rest you seem to have an agenda that I
can't attest to myself. 16:38 Added after 3 minutes

eekeeboo: It also pays to read and actually see what's said, not
dismiss because you don't agree. I can help with the first with
sharing information, the rest is up to you. 16:39 Added after

eekeeboo: I've been doing A LOT of projects, been in other areas of
the forums, helping organise reddit events and tournaments, help
with community issues you'll see elsewhere. Spending time in twitch
streams and other community projects like the Pedal to the metal
stream and other things that will be coming soon. If in doubt, go
to facebook, or reddit or discord servers or twitch channels
Community is not just the forum so
i will not always spend that much time here.
