Gelebron was put in game Oct 2015. It's been over 2 years since last end game boss. The content has gotten stale, no other MMO is as stagnant as Ch.My understanding is that it is still in the works.We just want the Corrupted Gardens update, thats about it tbhI really enjoy where this thread began: a passionate community coming together to try and rally to bring life back into a game they feel has grown stagnant over time! You've made some great points and criticisms in this thread.
Let me suggest ways that livestreaming does help and some other suggestions that you as the community can get involved with. Livestreaming keeps your game relevant and discoverable. The more folks we have playing the game and playing live; the more opportunity other have to re-discover or discover the game. That is helpful as the game relies on having a community. Now, I get it. Camping for a boss is def. not livestreaming content, but there is content within the game that is. I really love the idea someone suggested that we do a weekly Arena stream and you can come beat up some our folks on the team.
Another great way you can help the game team as the community is to tell us not only what you want to see changed in the game, but also, what you love about the game! Too often, I meet folks that disenfranchised or only want to go off the data because all they ever see is negative feedback. Yes, constructive negative feedback is important and crucial, but so is positive constructive feedback. It lets the team know you do enjoy some of the changes or features that in the game and could give them a better base as to when they're moving in the right direction or where to take a feature further.
Participation! We hope to start running some more engaging content and events in the future. Be sure to participate and encourage others to do so as well. Participation is a big seller to the man behind the screen that asks us for numbers. The more people that participate, the easier it will be to get approval for more events.

#32Agreed, that is far too long to go without new content. My feedback on that topic has been shared. Unfortunately, pointing that out won't make Corrupted Gardens come any faster. From what I have gathered, it has been delayed due to some technical challenges that needed to be resolved to move forward. It's an interesting balance between adding new content and fixing tech debt. At times, tech debt has to come first.Gelebron was put in game Oct 2015. It's been over 2 years since last end game boss.

I'm not magic and I can't change the past or even near future. What we can do is analyze, plan and, hopefully, create better experiences moving forward. Many items the community team will start pushing will be from Corrupted Gardens out. Some of these items will be internal, so you may not reap the benefits immediately. As I stated in my intro thread, I apologize for the delay ahead of time.

It is important to acknowledge the positives aswell as the negatives, so you can learn from mistakes and do more of what people liked. Which is would be nice to hear what’s in the works before it actually comes out and let us give feedback and our thoughts. More testing of gear and raid mechanics before they go live, for example much of the loot from raid bosses has been getting banked since the first kill. To add to that BIS items still come from lower lvl bosses in some cases for most classes. Would be refereshing to hear these criticisms acknowledged and maybe plans for the future how it’s going to be different. I think that would generate a lot more positive discussion on the forums if things like that were out in the open instead of players left in the dark.
Re: As a community, how can we help
#34Id honestly wait the extra time, and get 3 new amazing bosses that are fun and chalanging, whilst being rewarding rather than a half assed and rushed update that isnt any fun. Make the raids require skill, rather than numbers. Brains rather than brawn. I feel this would bring a blayer base back. Personally im happy w game and not going anywhere anytime soon.

Re: As a community, how can we help
#35Agreed! We've discussed bringing back developer blogs and updates. These are going to take a little bit of effort to set up since we're on two different sides of the planet. BUT, it is something we would like to bring back and are pushing for. We'll start some threads in Feedback section of the forums to start gathering some items in one place.
Re: As a community, how can we help
#36It seems at this point OTM has gotten all of our feedback, multiple times over... I hate to say this, but at this point all we can really do is sit and wait...
Everything that has been said here has been said at least 10+ times this week alone, and with the same responses from OTM.
This isn't a problem necessarily, but rather it goes to say that OTM has taken into consideration what we as players want in the game, thanked us for our input, and is waiting for us to politely wait while they deliver us the next update.
I agree with many here that the camping and everything are large scale issues that need to be fixed and that CH is clinging to the edge and corrupted gardens will largely be the make or break.
I'm looking forward to seeing what new content their team can deliver and hope that it exceeds what we expect.
One thing I do want to pitch in on is the live streaming... Those players that live stream are not the average player, and are not a real assessment for what average game play looks like, Maybe tomorrow I'll record a time lapse of 3 hours of game play and post... The average player spends the entire time camping, with time in between for bounties and flying to the next boss.

Re: As a community, how can we help
#37Please make Gelebron Tower accessible by gold, for those solo/bounty players who are not keen on your crappy clan system, for those who are in crappy clans, for those free players who think your game is not fit enough to burn through their device battery max lifespan while camping (it's bad enough burning even more battery while running around looking for human relics), and for those who doesn't want anything to do with your 'Chaos' gear. 100k gold or less I'm fine. I'm sure if you can do it for ring of signet, you can implement a similar excuse for tower entry too. As a community within a community, you can help us.
Or perhaps you don't mind continuing losing these players too?
