I only just created my character a few hours ago, and it never displayed the tremor.

I chose the tremor and got war eagle. There really are a lot of war eagle players. Hawk and ultra also were war eagles on stream

NAME: Audio ducking SEVERITY: 3 LOCATION: Login screen REPRODUCIBILITY: Always DESCRIPTION: Depending on which step you are for logging in to the game, the music volume either rapidly ducks to almost 0 or rapidly increases in volume to the point of earrape. Additionally, sometimes when you alt+tab and it plays no music or it plays really softly, or it can also be extremely loud. Edit: Couldn't reply to this topic, so just editing the OP instead. I don't know what was changed, but the way it is now is not the way it was vanilla. I certainly do not remember the volume increasing to MAX VOLUME out of itself, definitely not *while the game is alt+tabbed* sometimes as well. The fade out is weird also and I have not seen it like this in any other game including Battleforge. But I might remember wrong. The earrape is still a bug though. The audio should at least stay constant volume when left alone :p

I didn't specifically mean to target you or the developer posts. The developer posts are fine, they are for the most part just changelogs after all. They are not the part of dev communication that repeatedly overhypes things with vague promises of some kind of announcement some time in the future (tm). And they are also not the posts that seem to take any slight or criticism as an attack. It doesn't have to be mega serious coorporate professional. But at least the communication can be free of spelling mistakes, and it can be written in a neutral tone. Not snarky, not overhyped, not inflammatory, not apologetic to a useless degree, but just neutral. (25 years old, not 15!) Again, I'm not specifically targeting you here. But you're in a team, and the attitude presented by the team reflects on the community. Kind of like lead by example. (Although it will never be perfectly nice be cause it's still the internet )

The state of the community is very unhealthy. The staff is unprofessional and has lacking mastery of English, which really doesn't set a good example. They do this stuff in their free time, but it still looks bad. Second there is a group of people who are upset with the failed hype train and do nothing but shit on the developers or ask for the game now now now! Then third there is a group who will vehemently defend the game + devs and will dogpile anyone from the second group. None of this is healthy. Where is the actual discussion about the game or the server? Most suggestions get shut down as 'already discussed / not up for discussion', and any comment good or bad about the game or the server's development will just get you lumped in with either the second or third group. So all that is left is some inappropriate off-topic spam and memes. Sure, it will probably get better once the server is actually done. But that is no excuse to leave the community in a state like this, and it might well have a negative impact on how big this community can become later. To fix this, the team should at least get an editor with good English skills to help proofread developer statements. This is to fix spelling and style mistakes and alert them about probable problematic wordings that might be vague, overhyped or might come across as passive-aggressive. (For example, the last announcement post consists of 8 sentences and has at least 13 spelling, grammar and style mistakes. It's just bad.) Secondly, the moderation approach should probably be changed to better cull out both the hateful people AND the zealous defenders. Together this could hopefully bring the community back to being about the game instead of some stupid 'us vs them'-like thing.
