@geoffkeighley@PlayHighguard It sucks, but putting a generic looking shooter as the big finale at the biggest gaming event of the year wont go over well
A large part of the Wildlight Entertainment team that worked on @PlayHighguard has been laid off, just 16 days after release.
An unfortunate, brutal and sad outcome for a game I enjoyed in early play tests.
@geoffkeighley@DetectiveSeeds I hope they paid a lot to be the final "banger" reveal at the game awards. It was very confusing to see a generic shooter as the one more thing
Hey @geoffkeighley I was wondering if you financially backed Highguard during development, or own some % of the company? Obviously you don’t have to answer, just curious if you have any incentive with Wildlight Ent if they hit certain earning thresholds.
@backendoc adds some character to the console. I would talk to them about not drawing on stuff without permission and then keep em like that for the memory
@Thrasher66099@Jivesh1995 this looks as improved as demons souls on ps5 did and that was marketed as a remake. a remaster dont really change entire environments with all new 3d models
@Jivesh1995@Crofna That's looks like a remaster. FF VII:R is a remake. This is 1:1 the same but in in Unreal Engine aka a remaster. That's why they literally called it "Remastered"" and not "Remake"
This OnlyFangs stuff actually sucks. Lots of weird attack posts and people taking it too far. Putting everything in one place and washing my hands of it after this.
To start, here is the response about the Dire Maul run. From my perspective I didn't feel I could save anyone else with the resources I had left even with mana gem and robe cooldowns. Since the call to run was made I followed the call and got out as quickly as possible. In every other instance where shit has hit the fan the shot-caller has called specific targets we locked in and nobody died. If you call RUN RUN RUN then everything after that is a shitshow. Yamato pinned the entire thing on me despite everyone making mistakes and this rapidly spiraled into attacks both on and offline.

The next few days was just tens of thousands of messages berating me, sending death threats, doxxing, and all kinds of shit. This happened on Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, Steam, Reddit, Discord, and over VOIP initiated Phone Calls all at the same time. Here are a few examples from just inside of WoW to give you some understanding.

So what do you do in this situation? You start reporting it and banning people. We took the 10,000+ attack accounts and reported them up for the organized hate raid that this is. It disrupted our broadcast on all platforms for the last 3 days and prevented our community from doing anything. That's a hate raid no matter how you slice it and it needs to be reported. We also setup automation to shut down the First Message Last Message shit stirring posts which worked to mostly positive effect.
Despite all of this I kept running with the guild and kept doing dungeons with people. Got my UBRS key, had runs that were fun, and had some clutch moments as well. Then during an UBRS run another creator in the group shit talked me the entire run and spoke many times about wanting to start a fight with me over voice "For Content". I was pissed about this and said bluntly to the community that I would be reporting anyone that does things like this. Not just anyone covering the situation, anyone specifically targeting me to make "Content" out of it by directly disrupting our broadcast.
The idea that you shouldn't fight back or do anything to defend yourself is absurd. Absolutely do something about shit like this. Defend yourself and report that kind of behavior. It doesn't matter what size of creator you are that doesn't belong on any of these platforms.
This was posed as a "Content Guild" which to me meant we were crafting stories and narratives around our characters and achievements. Not content at any cost which this clearly has become.
For those in the guild that reached out to me after all of this, thank you. Was fun running together and maybe we will again one day in a different game.
@NintyPrime I haven't given up. If it is shadow dropped, I'll be celebrating!
I'm just not staying up all night to see what Nintendo does or doesn't tweet at every 30 minute interval haha.
@RealSpekk@SavixIrL@PirateSoftware I don't think people care if he "panicked", people care about him not taking accountability, is like just say" yeah I panicked and mess up bad, sorry but is not all my fault, there were too much calls" something like that, instead of playing the victim. but he's too egotistical
To those trying to character assassinate me online for a bad pull in Diremaul WoW Hardcore. This is Hardcore WoW and a lot is on the line when you step foot into a dungeon. Here is a light breakdown of the last 24 hours.
Our party went the wrong way and overpulled multiple packs with a boss. The shotcaller made the call to run then went back on that call. During the run out another pack was pulled as we had opted to skip it previously which is never a good thing. Communication was completely broken throughout this and it was our second time failing the dungeon. Everyone played poorly and two people ultimately lost their characters for it.
Each person in this group made mistakes including myself. I have never once said I was perfect in my play nor that I was a god gamer. I'm just an ex-Blizzard employee that has played mage for a long time.
To pin that on a single person is absurd at best and if you're calling for death and cancellation over it you're too invested in this content in a very unhealthy way. If you're a creator engaging in this kind of behavior then eventually your content wave will end but the relationships you've sullied will be permanent. Hope it was worth it for you.
To those trying to defend me. Don't worry about it. This too shall pass. Do not attack anyone else on my behalf. I've always hated that kind of behavior. I have no intention of stopping making things or not doing stuff as I already have been.
Those who were banned will stay so. I've never liked that kind of knee-jerk reaction behavior in our community before and I will not be changing that now.
For those that don't understand why they will stay banned. We had a ten hour long hate-raid over it live on Twitch. We had to ban nearly 4,000 accounts across all platforms and our moderators received death threats regularly throughout it all. People called for me to be killed both in-game and out of game. They tried to get me banned from Twitch, the guild, and WoW. They tried to make disparaging comments about our ferret rescue or that we somehow hurt animals. They tried to spread rumors saying I was convicted of felonies and many other things.
The internet hate machine will not defeat me or the community that supports me. See you in WoW Hardcore tomorrow.
@_r33v@SavixIrL@PirateSoftware im an experienced wow player, but the first time i died at high level in hc i had unused target dummy and health potion. i was looking through all my skills for what i could use
@RealSpekk@SavixIrL@PirateSoftware I'm a filthy casual that probably could never get to level 60 in HC and I know these things. He was arogant "did nothing wrong! shot caller called shots!" He showed such a huge amount of direspect to his teammates.
@SajjieSajj@SavixIrL@PirateSoftware CDANK killed bobka on purpose no remorse. trolling in every dungeon. almost wiping the molten core raid with a ninja pull. Nobody cared the next day
@SajjieSajj@SavixIrL@PirateSoftware ye no the whole thing is so dumb. There has been people in onlyfangs who has ninjapulled and killed people on purpose and then laugh at them and nobody gave a damn after 2 hours
