Schedule maintenance thread locked

Hello all.

First I would like this thread not to degenerate into a troll thread or a flame war. Having said that I know it may very well degenerate into what I fear will happen.

My question is simply why can't we leave comment on maintenance thread announcement anymore. Is it because they're tired of all the complaint? Is it because of trolling? Why?

I liked it when you could leave comment in that thread because you could hear, among all the noise, some genuine concern about bugs, unliked feature and such. For instance this week they spend lots of time fixing snow ball just a week before the event end, why make that a priority? There are other more important bugs that need fixing but happily go on for yet another week.

So please keep comment civil and it would be nice if our "community manager" could comment on that, he's supposed to listen to the client and address their concern but I don't see him addressing much so far.

    I'd say we can't do so anymore because of how much of a distaste most of the forums have. Even if they didn't close it, they'd have people just clogging up the posts about their distaste about the game rather than discussing fixes.

    I've never heard of the maintenance thread getting locked before. Not even any replies in there, so they decided to lock it from the get-go.

    I don't see a reason why, they always have plenty of replies and more than a few have always been snippy or negative. So why start now?

    Maybe this one is a special case, since it's the first one to land since the holidays?

    My guess is all the negative feedback that is usually posted on the GNN with every announcement or dev blog has started to affect Cryptic's metrics. Probably also why most of the blogs lately haven't been posted there, take yesterday's blog for example... a pretty major game change that didn't even get a dev or CM mention anywhere on the forum. All of this lack of communication and snubbing that the community has be subjected to as of late is only going to drive more players away. People are angry and frustrated about the state of the game and the general impression is the devs don't listen, do what they want and feedback be damned.

    I have noticed them being closed from get go too.

    It's kind of sucks, since that was one place where we could at times have some communication with our CM's.

    Like now, when the maintenance is extended yet again, we would like to know why it's taking so long.

    Sure some of the treads degenerated into nothing but flaming Cryptic and what not, but most were relatively civil IMHO.

    A shame that they have taken this stnace, and I too would like to know why they felt this move was the right one to make, since now we hardly get any info, and what we get is just not good enough imo..

    There are time where I do miss our cereal box indeed...

    So what, it is locked, you created a thread to compensate. I assume you have dealt with your need to add to your post count now? Good, glad you got that covered.

    Cryptic's policy on bugs (as seen here) should clear this discussion up.

    The Maintenance thread just says what's being done. There is an entire section of the forums right here for discussion.

    The Maintenance Thread is just informative for people wondering what's being done in the current patch, it shouldn't be cluttered with people crying because it doesn't cover their specific issue. It's not like they banished all discussion, they just want it in the General Discussion section where it belongs.

    There is no reason why the Maintenance Thread shouldn't be locked.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    They were tired of all the complaints and comments on there little thread. They somehow thought that locking it would solve this, they have failed. Now we just open multiple threads elsewhere to complain at them.
