Hey Devs How about communicating with your customers

Recommended Posts

I got news for you....they are WAAAAAAY better than they were on ARK!  So it's at very least an improvement.

Took me 5 seconds to type "playatlas twitter"  ....found what I was looking for.  Yeah so hard

 

Those 5 seconds are basically the same time it would have took me to click on official forums bruh!

Just so everyone knows  TWITTER is where you find the announcements! 

You are right, especially jat has been doing a better job with communication. Other than him though I really haven’t seen any improvements at all. I mean at all. Like nothing good about this game except the fact that jat got better at communicating with the community

Ok GFNJR, i accept that you just don´t get it. No matter how hard i would try to make you understand.

btw, yeah yeah, the button with the nice little bird on it. Just klick it and "hey" i can read about updates on Atlas on twitter. It´s hard to believe you think that is the problem. rofl.

So you're on the official website you click one link to go where they supposedly should have their updates.   That exact same amount of time you could click up top and read what you are desired.  Explain to me what I don't get?

You literally could be on any page on this website and its actually easier just to click up top it's always there

Keep making it harder on yourself

There are internet users, like me, who refuse any use of sites like twitter, Facebook, Instagram and so on, you name it. And we do that for a good reason. My u Matrix does a good job blocking all content of such sites and i´m not willing to put exceptions in my script blocker just to read the Atlas news if there is an OFFICIAL WEBSITE. If twitter would be the only possibility, so be it and i would not argue. But it is not.

Could i help you with this answer?

Your refusal to use the services provided is your own issue. Maybe you should stop blocking them based on blanket statements of ignorance and intolerance and realise the whole world isn't against you nor are people that disagree with you automatically trolls.

Are you going to start blocking forums too simply because people post their opinions and views on those too?

I wish I could like, laugh, and Thank your comment!  Just make a mental note that I did all three LOL

@Charles U Farley  the absolute norm nowadays is that companies use Twitter.  Twitter is the only social media that I use.  But to be fair a lot of companies will put their Twitter posts on the forum websites,  maybe that's what Atlas should do for people like yourself

I’m facepalming so hard right now. How can you be like this? Just type in 1 sentence and all your problems are solved. It definitey isn’t too much to ask. Maybe ask your friend the u Matrix to stop blocking it.

Just copy paste your twitter announcement to the forums instead of expecting people to go to twitter.

They don't even have to do that if I'm not mistaken.  Twitter has an OAuth system which would allow them to create one post here and have it simultaneously posted to Twitter.  But, that would require some coding on their part and we're all aware of that story.

OK I am gonna put a radical argument out there. You get a $40 bank charge, you phone the bank and they say "we notified every one on chirpchirp  (made up social media site) of pending charge" You DO NOT, NOR would you EVER use ChirpChirp. Does that make it right/fair. NO They have their own platform of notifying of this. Well Grapeshot have their own Platform THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE. Twitter, Facebook, Tinder, Grinder, Discord can close edit remove Grapeshot account any time they choose ANOTHER reason why they should use their OWN OFFICIAL WEBSITE.

 

All you fanboys need to stop trying to argue when you are wrong.

You're example isn't comparable because something like a bank charge would need to be addressed to you personally, so I'd expect an email. For a general service announcement I'd check their website, be advised to check chirpchirp, bookmark the chirpchirp page so I can see any future announcements and get on with my day.

There is zero reason, none, zip, nada, as to why you can't simply bookmark the atlas twitter page and get on with your life.

It is exactly the same thing, I paid to play this game, I expect to be notified via OFFICAL channels, NOT through a THIRD PARTY, and that really does conclude this argument.

Like them or not, they communicate a ton.

The weekly captain's log alone is a huge communication.

yes, id like more forum posts by them, but they do post here as well, just not as often as twitter.

You did indeed pay for the game, and you received a receipt in your email just like you would have if you'd gotten that bank charge in your example. For notices that do not take effect against you specifically and affect their service, they use their OFFICIAL twitter account, thus you are being notified via OFFICIAL channels. Now you know it exists, feel free to add it to your bookmarks in case you want to check for future notices.

Archaegeo please read the post again, It has nothing to do about monthly bulletins of course they are gonna do that, lots of made up crap, that 90% of the gaming community cant access, they need this diatribe to sell. The fact of the matter still stands that servers go down, and they are notifying their Paid customers through a THIRD PARTY social Media site. Have the balls to put on your OFFICIAL FORUMS "hey guys we screwed up again sorry" not a "FUCK YOU we have your money, you don't count. Maybe it is an age thing, maybe it is an education thing, I do not know, but, so many of you are totally missing the point.

You should all think better of yourselves and expect higher. you defending them because they release IMPORTANT information through a THIRD PARTY rather than OFFICAL Channels must have a very,  very low expectation on life. Me personal want to be treated with the respect I deserve, and that comes in the form of OFFICIAL CHANNELS, please refer to any number of arguments I have used so far because every one of them is valid to this argument, I do not care if there is a Twitter link at the top of the page, maybe I do NOT want to let the CIA/NSA/MI6/FIS/Mossad whom ever may get access to my pc if I click that link. Ever thought of that one, I guess NOT.

Heilos You really need to stop responding there is NO such thing as OFFICIAL TWITTER.  Before posting think what twitter is please I beg you just THINK.

Twitter is a third party platform that can at any time close this OFFICIAL TWITTER account down, can they?, will they? unlikely BUT NOT the point, this is THIER OFFICAL WEBSITE please look up the F~@*ing word OFFICIAL

Your view on life is so misguided and wrong, I wouldn't even know where to start explaining anything to you.

When you stop relying on mummy and daddy to buy things for you and you actually earn the money and pay for them yourself , you will expect a higher standard of customer service.

Maybe you should stop throwing a tantrum and chucking your toys out of the pram before you feel the need to preach to others about growing up.

For the record, "Official; Having the approval or authorization of an authority". I don't see anywhere in any definition of the word official that states that the thing must be owned by the company in question, and I'm fairly sure Jat has the approval of the company to post news updates on twitter and that twitter has the approval to host the news updates on their server. Strangely enough, according to this definition, his twitter account is an official channel.

Truth hurts and so does your ignorance, I really am gonna stop responding because you just lack the mature mindset, I have not thrown a tantrum or how you kids like to say "CRIED" and my last statement is so TRUE when you start paying for yourself, "YOU WILL" expect high standards trust me.

I look forward to the lack of notifications that I'll be receiving now you've stopped whining about a non-issue.

Wow, another thread that is turned into a series of tantrums and name calling.  Shocking.

While the OP does have a valid point (it would make sense to have announcements also available in the forums), most of the replies are also valid (it's incredibly easy to get to their Twitter updates).

The argument that "I paid for it, therefore I demand it" is bogus though.  News flash: paying for the game (especially in EA) doesn't entitle you to anything more than playing the game in whatever state it's in, and unfortunately that means bugs and quirks and all.  And, just like every other online game, there's a risk there will be server issues from time to time.

There was NOT an issue with the Official EU PVE server, and I am not clicking any link I do not type myself, those CIA/NSA/MI6/FIS and Mossad are everywhere, I do not want them knowing my porn habits so they can tailor ads especially for me 😃 and turn me into some unknowing unwilling spy, so as I said in an earlier post on this topic I don't care if they go down 8 hours or 8 days I wanna be told why and when, on the OFFICIAL FORUMS.
