Quick break to reiterate that these are just my opinions and that I mean no disrespect...
In my history with this game this communication style has been most obvious in the 7th legion back story, the explanation for the grenade change, and in the now infamous "lockbreaker manifesto". I honestly don't think there was any intent to come off as anything other than informative and helpful. It's just that, for me, there ends up being too many words about too much stuff not related directly to the thing at hand. Like I said before If the blurb just said "hey we're going to speed up the game, timers" That would have worked with a lot less confusion, hurt feelings, and misunderstanding but that would be asking Trick to be someone else.
I still love the game and play every day.
I have great respect for the work Trick and all the devs do.
The same goes for the community and forum staff.
Maybe have someone from the real world have a look at releases before they go out to the public?
Special thanks to Scapes, Kiwi, and PT.
Rock on guys.
