How to productively express your feedback: A PSA
There has been plenty of discourse about Sunbringer's new design in the trailer lately. I'm doing my best to withhold judgement until we get to see Lady Sunbringer in her full glory: in game with her entire model. I am keeping in mind that the thumbnail art is just at a bad angle, and she looks much better in the full trailer. Her overall silhouette seems to be intact. I'll be getting her M6W1 regardless. But, even so, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. Putting aside the issue of her chest and sexualization vs aura, I don't like how her horns and some other unique features have been toned down. I miss her paler skin. I miss her fluff. I especially don't like that she has lost her star pupils. I know she will look good in the end, but it feels like a downgrade from the OG teaser that made us fall in love with her. I know many of you agree.
Regardless, whining on English social media is unlikely to reach the devs, and the next survey isn't for many weeks. So, there isn't anything we can do, right? Wrong. We can still share our feedback directly to the devs. One piece of direct feedback is likely more impactful than 100 posts. Regardless of whether you're western or Chinese, you agree with me or completely disagree, your voice can still reach them. Here is how:
1: Open the game and navigate to the menu. Select more.
Forgive the slightly wonky aspect ratio. My iPad is weird.
- Select the feedback option.
- Finally, select the suggestions and feedback tab. Not issue feedback!
- Now, a menu will open where you can write up feedback for the devs. It is worth noting you only have 1000 characters per ticket. That is about two paragraphs. Make it count. I also have a few extra pieces of advice to help you.
- 4a. Please, only submit one ticket per issue. I understand you might have a lot to say, but multiple tickets about the same issue will likely be labeled as spam and ignored. If you submit multiple tickets, please make them about entirely different things.
- 4b. Along the same lines, don't set up a copypasta. Multiple identical tickets from different users will likely also be labeled as spam. Besides, your own genuine thoughts will always be better.
- 4c. Please attempt to maintain a somewhat formal tone and give honest, specific, and constructive criticism. Don't: "This is irredeemable slop! You've ruined the game forever you ***! I'm going to ship a bomb to your office!" Do: "I like this/dislike this because of a, b, c. Here is how you could do better. Ect." And maybe try ending it with a nice word or two if you have enough characters left.
That's all. During this discourse and beyond, it is important to give feedback to the devs. This is our single best way of communicating and isn't used enough. Thank you if you decide to send in feedback, whether you agree with my opinions or not. And again, please try to be polite. Send honest criticism, not hatemail.
And maybe suggest a spider thiren for me while you're there.
