I follow the Official forums and a couple of others even though I'm not a member of any, but I have been tempted to have a say many times. I don't though, particularly on the official forum as it can be as vitriolic as any game forum, (they do have good Moderators though) and I can't be bothered with fanboys who defend every thing the developers do, even when it's obviously going in the wrong direction and against what the Souls series is supposed to be. That's why I have a personal Blog. I can say what I want and I don't care what anyone thinks and I can't get banned or censured if things get heated.
The developers have never communicated with their fanbase, and a very loyal and dedicated one at that, so people are trying to get the word to someone on the dev team, (and have been for some time) or maybe someone who has some influence, to listen and just maybe turn at least some things around. I doubt anything will happen though, but we can hope. I know other game devs don't bother communicating with the loyal fans who play the games they actually pay for, and expect to be able to have some input, ie Bethesda, and it could be due to legal issues...who knows, but just a few words now and then about why they do these things surely wouldn't hurt.
Now, I still love playing this game despite it's many faults which I really haven't spoken about here and I don't want to discourage anyone trying the game because I still believe at it's core it's a good game. However, since the last DLC has been released as far as we know, we the players, are wondering if there will be further patches to address some of these issues, especially some of the pressing ones that have plagued us since release.
Anyway, so I don't go typing out another huge post, and I already typed more than I intended, it's all in the link below. You might detect a certain level of sarcasm or annoyance. That was pretty much intentional and after again experiencing some of these things that many, many complain about, especially a lagstabbing invader wielding duel rapiers that hit and killed me from way across a large room last night. Anyone who has had this experience will know what I'm talking about. Then he/she went on to mock me because his connection was
