Feedback not actually related to ingame - faster Patch Cycle - Forum

Lets start with Patch Cycle.
Its an Early access Title and i actually did expect more changes in a rather short time. Right now its kinda just one actual Patch since release of EA. That does include the 2 Weeks of Christmas tho.

Still the changes to the game are minimal. I would say that weekly Patches are way better in the EA access. Now is the Time to test experimental things. It does not matter if they break anything. The game is already broken, the balance isx a total mess, the economy is a total mess, qol is a total mess and so on.

Get Patches faster to get proper Feedback to the things you add. If you pathc slowly then Early access might take longer to properly include feedback of the players. Cause the Feedback to added features can only arrive after the patch.

Players will also have more fun discovering new things, testing new things etc. Just throw the Patches into the game it does not fucking matter if they break anything unless its the server.

Some stuff about forum

The forum looks extremely outdated. Giving Feedback is really annoying actually. You write sth. in the forum and it generally goes to the second page in an hour. Same for Bug Reports.

What would be good. An upvote button and downvote Button for Bug reports and Feedback. In Bug reports it basically means you have the same problem and i feedback it means you agree or not. Not everyone taht agrees make s acomment. So just pressing an upvote button is easier. That would help GGG with prioritising. That also requires that some Feedbakc and Bugs are marked as added, rejected or simply as resolved. Or being worked on.

Then Known Issues. There are countless Bugs in the game. Many things get double reported. But they still are not appearing in the known issues post. It needs to be updated more frequently.
Add some dedicated people that are only responsible for the forum and moderation there. (you might have taht but i doubt it). Its a massive influx of posts compared to what GGG staff is actually posting. maybe 10 comments from GGG acknowledging soe bug reports. Also where GGG is posting in the bug report seems very selective. Why some get a comment and others not. Thats confusing to me.

In general the communication between the Dev Team and the Players is lacking. Its extremely important to have that especially in Early Access.

I would like to add here that more moderation is necessary. You get multiple Posts about the same topic. For topics that get posted a lot you cna create a sticky topic and just merge the posts i there. If a new thread gets made.

Then Toxic Posts. Just outright remove them from the Feedback Section.

If you make Volunteers do some part of moderation. Its not an issue with New Zealand Law. For true Volunteers that dont get any monetary reward. Most work regulations dont apply.
