i still don't get why you're all acting surprised and outraged. all this was clear since the first change in art direction, and unavoidable when they moved to the epic fail store.
I think you all are too obsessed with art direction shit.
its not simply the art as an isolated issue. The art seems to have also marked a huge change in tone with regards to game play, and who phoenix point actually is and the feel of the world and the game and the creatures and weapons etc..I think you all are too obsessed with art direction shit.
These games are about gameplay first and this is where they fucked up. Also with UI.
There are so many little things missing, and they don't fix them. They don't fix stuff people keep reporting for months or other stuff.
It feels like they lost their main team and now are training new guys who work at snail speed.
Owlcat released a super buggy game but all of their patches would have 100 fixes.
Snapshot keeps releasing patches with 20-30 fixes which also introduce 5 new bugs.
Actually they made combat less modern than what they originally planned. Originally they said your soldier will not be dying but if they "die" in battle they will need to spend longer time in base recovering. For release they made it so they just die. They always talked about how you will not have huge teams like in UFO or lots of recruits to find. This didn't change much. Enemies are mostly what they talked about. Superhero abilities are not, and while they did mention soldiers would have some abilities they never went into details how powerful those would be.its not simply the art as an isolated issue.

Lol that is a new one, I never got that one yet. But since they changed recently how much time you get before base attack I am not surprised they managed to fuck that up as well.alright, i take everything good i said back. game breaking bug, bases just vanishing, word on the street it's because "your base is under attack" didn't appear.
Another whiner. L2P.I take that back, these devs are morons.Crayfish steps, maybe. One step forward, two steps back...baby steps..
People scream about how melee is terrible. In patch they buff all melee damage by 20 damage (not nearly enough) but in DLC they introduce body part that lets you use melee weapons for 1 AP instead of 2.. Pay2Win!
Then people scream how infiltrators are OP and you can either be 100% invisible or using sniper rifles from half the map away, be in stealth all the time and do 2x damage with every shot. Devs in last patch make it so if you use non silenced weapons you lose stealth always and then in DLC they introduce head part that makes all weapons you use silent.. Pay2Wiin!
Fucking morons.

Snapshot Games is in the process of putting together a “Community Council” for Phoenix Point. We’re looking for a small group of dedicated people, passionate about Phoenix Point and strategy games in general to help us. Members of this Community Council will work closely with the development team, examining and testing internal ideas for gameplay changes and future updates, providing valuable insight from our players. We’re looking for articulate people who can apply objectively focused constructive criticism in a polite and professional manner. You must be over 18 to join the Community Council, as you will be required to sign a legal agreement (NDA), as you will have access to development information which hasn’t yet been released to the general public. The initial group will be relatively small, but we will be expanding as time goes on. As spaces are limited, please only apply if you have the time and commitment to participate in this program. If you are interested, please fill in the form below. Again, initial places are limited so please don’t feel left out if you don’t get selected for the initial group. Over time we will continue to extend the invite to more people. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFo4vmnfMus-jZLljUKf6Naxt3lz9Rdt7JfwV7gxjMhrjL5Q/viewform
This would be interesting if they didn't require us to sign shit. Last time I was part of something like this I regretted it (not directly because of signing shit but that probably allowed those devs to be retarded with how they handled it).UnstableVoltagehoy a las 19:55

how many people do they think actually care about their game at this point?as you will be required to sign a legal agreement (NDA)
That didn't work for Epic.the only way this council saves this game is if every member comes on board with a suitcase full of money on large bills.
They posted this couple of weeks ago: https://feedback.phoenixpoint.info/snapshot-proposed-changesCommunity council, jeez. They must have really run out of ideas, or have no clue. Or both.
They shouldn't need it though. The original idea on Fig was good. Hence why many backed it. That's the game everyone wanted in the first place. If they did that, there would be no need for a community council. Because we'd all have the game we wanted in the first place. They changed their original vision and now have no idea how to follow through on their new, inferior ideas.They posted this couple of weeks ago: https://feedback.phoenixpoint.info/snapshot-proposed-changesCommunity council, jeez.

So they do know what needs to be improved in the short run.
My guess is that they want the community council to be ones to test out their ideas before they decide which one to implement into full game. Kind of like how you show the unfinished movies to test groups and then make changes accordingly.
I guess they saw it differently than you. And now they noticed their vision might be flawed so they are changing design. Maybe by the end of all this, the game will look and play more like its Fig proposal.They shouldn't need it though. The original idea on Fig was good. Hence why many backed it.
