I have been continuously check-in for over 400d days and have achieved top-level in all 12 battles. Also, as a high quality columnist, I have offerred over 50 sinicalized news for Chinese players, as well as more than 10 game notes. I am a fluent English speaker, though not so good as native speakers, with IELTS band 7.0.
However, even I’m a senior gameplayer and English speaker, I just CANNOT understand some words(sometimes even a few sentences) in your dev blogs. That’s strange and unpleasant because even the worst English articles in journals can be understood easily. Misunderstandings caused by those unclear expressions may be amplified through the dissemination of translated texts, and handling and correcting these content that could have been clearly expressed has caused great trouble for me and many players. **So my point is that, development should express in clear and unambiguous way.**That is not difficult anyway, just find a better English speaker to polish the dev blogs, and I don’t want to see any spelling errors anymore！If we have to guess the content of the dev blogs, it means you didn’t make your ideas clear so player won’t understand what you have done and what you plan to do. Then you will find that critics become more and more. Again, please distribute better English speaker(and he/she have to know the game terms) to make dev blogs much more clear and unambiguous. Even before I update my game, I could collect enough info of the changes, not to try everything to “look for” the changes. I am willing to continue my news sinicalization for CN players only if you make some changes in expressing way.
Last but not least, I think you need to know what kind of game you want to develop. That means self-orientation, technical problems and your advantages. If you cannot draw a clear map for the game(not the roadmap), there would not be efficient production and even worse, the game dying slowly, because players’ time and patience are limited.
That’s all, I would appreciate it if you can read these words and make some promise for the changes. @1942786
Everything else aside I find this rather ironic considering just how many you made yourself.
I’m sorry for that… But when I comment on dishes on table, should I know how to cook it exactly?
Depends. If you feel the dish is served cold or needs more salt, I’d say it’s alright. If it’s got a fly in it, absolutely. But if you present yourself as an expert of sorts, and critique the actual cooking process…
I think it’s only fair that you’ve got the competence to back that claim up.
Transparency in development? Absolutely, yes please.
Proper asian community support including a dedicated server and or a blog professionally translated? I have no interest in that but I imagine many players would appreciate it.
Calling them out on English while you, yourself mangle it almost every sentence? That’s a bit mean, man.
Have you played 12 matches during 400 day time period? Huh?
…ok…that was a bit clever *nod
That’s my cringy humour, lmao. Dont take it personally or smh like that. I am just kidding.
I think we cleared that up after Juno beach discussion. I get you now… My best mates father is like that. busting your chops, or having a laugh…just cos
I just clarify it for OP.
as a NATIVE RUSSIAN SPEAKER Im can says: pretty often I can’t understand what they mean in news written on russian language
[and sadly its not a joke]
Well I have to admit that my words might be kind of emotional. Some of your opinions really make sense but not all. Actually we don’t need English from text book or native speaker. Sometimes we just read the words “enjoy it” “improved balance” “fixed a bug” and so on, but these words mean nothing. Images, tables and highlights are helpful if they are applied in dev blogs, just like scientific articles. And some unnecessary bug fixing should not present in update blogs, instead, present them in forum or other pages. I think dev blogs should focus on changes that influence gameplaying and ignore those unnecessary information.
That’s normal here, don’t worry about it.
I’m sorry for my incorrect expression, not “battles” but “campagins”.
lol
oh my friend you realy full of love! many thanks for this!
FYI Id say you are more than reasonable in your thoughts/emotions.
I didn’t really get the words, maybe you could try “textbook English” so I could better understand it and have a nice rational discussion.
You don’t have to apologize, I was just joking around. I think everyone understand it.
busting your chops means to tease, but in Adamnpees case its almost purely for a laugh/enjoyment (focus on the playful, the critique is neither here nor there)
to criticize someone in a playful way
ofcourse I could have him pegged wrong.
