weekly update in Arena Message
« on: January 07, 2009, 10:31:08 PM »
was talking to sirVLAD today, and he thought that to bring some spice to the game,  why doesn't HTC send out an arena message weekly of whats going on? i know something like this has been asked for just recently. if a weekly thing cant be done, how bout a monthly thing? for say the first week of each tour and the last week of each tour HTC give a list of what they hope to achieve to make game better (if at all anything) and at end of month give a message about what got done from that list.

To speculate and guess here.  I've always assumed that you don't hear more from HTC because things change.  Typically it seems we don't get screen shots or updates till the next release is very near and things are nearing a completed state.  I believe HTC finds themselves in "damned if you do damned if you don't" scenario.  If they don't say anything some people may occasionally gripe about the lack of updates.  If they say what's going on day to day then everyone will have an opinion on the direction the game is taking.  More over what if they start on something then have to halt development and or cut that planned addition?  I can only imagine the uproar it would cause we saw some evidence of this recently.  I think it's simply easier and in the long run more productive to not pull the curtain back too far.

But who knows, I'm just trying follow a line of reasoning and I could be way off base. :)
