Reposting with a minor edit.


One thing I noticed the differences with the website and the discord when it comes to feedback.

I mean no offense, but the discord DV community holds different opinions than people on site, and it sometimes makes me wonder if they actually play or just think that any form of criticism, especially constructive, is bad and awful and the dv staff must be defended at all costs. Anytime I see valid critique being offered on the discord (not anything like 'this sucks I hate it', but like feedback on mechanisms), people jump at their throats as if they're attacking the staff, when in reality someone is trying to give actual feedback.

So then, people stop posting feedback on the discord, and instead post them in here/the news comments, and tbh I feel that the DV staff focus more on what's said in the discord than in comments here because its all sunshine and rainbows in the discord (so that means nothing is wrong, right??) but then you go here and its all valid critique/nobody is attacking, but you'll get comments on the discord saying otherwise which just feeds into it more, and nobody wants to read 'bad' stuff, so they just listen to the discord and think things are okay. I don't ever see any acknowledgment from staff that these comments in here are actually read, nor do I see any changes/updates from direct critique placed in here and on the forums.

Dunno what to say other than I feel the environment on the discord is toxic/brown-nosing so to speak, so people can't properly give their feedback, which is why most if not all the actual feedback is posted here on forums and in the comments, but because of the environment, people don't read it.

It's not bad feedback, most of it is valid and good--its just ignored feedback, from how it feels.
