Because not only is the potential in this game very obvious/apparent, so are the flaws and the lack of direction/planning that has gone into it thus far. There is nothing like this game on the market, the players who stick around want to see it succeed. I do not expect the devs to agree or implement what each individual player suggests. But what they can benefit from doing is looking at overall trends/themes in the suggestions and complaints. This way they can get an idea of the common pain points within the community and going forward use this as a factor in deciding what to prioritize.

i wouldn't sign this! there is still HnH, and in a way many other f2p-games. they might not be exactly the same but in principal they are all alike.
so don't think that you wouldn't loose players to those games!

Well I figured HnH should go without saying as Salem is basically HnH 2.0, and its not being actively updated and has not been in how long? Still a fun game, but not worth mentioning at this point in time. What other games come close to HnH/Salem?

I think it's kind of telling that this announcement has far less complaining and whining than any of the recent update announcements have.

Its because the players have given up hope. This Announcement is more of a "dont xpect a patch anytime soon as were still thinking bout what the heck we are doing!" I still log on once in a while but its more out of a curiosity wether someone razed my hermit settlement or not and saying hi to my neighbour who i enjoy chatting with.

At this point, I feel the same way. The game has taken on a way more complicated "Farmville" feel. Plant crop, load with hay, wait x amount of time, harvest crop, and start over. Other than logging in to see if someone got bored and destroyed my claim, I wait until crops are done, then plant again for the tier grind. I also check to make sure worms have food. Basically a waiting game over anything constructive to do. Wait for crops, wait for worms, wait for trees to grow, wait for humus to produce, eat up said grown food, and wait for crops again etc...

Don't get me wrong, there have been some good updates. Mushroom eating was way too over powered. Pras on the mushrooms. The food tier was a good update also. I always believed that the crops of higher tiers should've given better stats. I don't agree with tier and elemental purity combination though. I'm not much of a worm babysitter. In my honest opinion, you guys are on the right track with tier foods, the elemental value just sends it over the top. So much that the few new players are like what????? Makes sense that level 1 and level 1 gives bad results. Level 1 and level 2 should give a little better result. Level 2 and level 2 even better result. Level 3 and level 2 a bit better result. And ultimately a level 3 and level 3 should give maximum result. At least in the food aspect. But take it a step further with clothing. Level 1 cotton to make a shirt gives nothing. Level 2 cotton (egyptian or indian) makes a shirt, but gives some sort of boost (digging, chopping, or even a multiplier to a skill like +1 to C&D). Then the shirt made with Sea Island cotton gives even a better boost of some sorts.

Anyway that's my 2 cents.

Yeah devs this game has unbelievable potential. I don't know how long I have waited to come across a game like salem where we can influence every aspect of our environment, farm, craft, perma death, pretty much all I ever wanted in a game. If you guys pull your **** together I wouldn't be surprised if it made you guys millions of dollars. It's like minecraft on steroids.

Just need to get your priorities straight, probably hire a team to speed **** up, listen to user feedback, and then enjoy the fruit of your labor. Once this gains some momentum it could quite possibly be one of those games that we will look back at and see that it influenced the ***** out of our future 2050 3d hologram games.

This idea is pretty unique, besides minecraft and wurm online I don't know any game like it.

Don't let your egos ruin the potential. I know I have been particularly harsh, and so have many others but I'v still stuck around because of this game's potential of being totally awesome.

I have gone from spending cash on the store often, to considering passing my stall off so I can ignore this game for awhile...
