			this one is going to be a short one. Eternal Crusade updates everyone every time when they do even the slightest change. They also do progress reports on their development. The Sims 4 crew do forums every Tuesdays and Thursdays, when for an hour, everyone can ask whatever they want and the developers choose what to answer. But they do still answer. We used to have the Nexus Report. Changed by more of an entertainment/ let's play type show called "0 to 50". As the situation gets worse, or in some cases stagnates, we need more communication, not less. It's nice that we're getting a PvP town hall, but guys, it's one town hall... And those are so rare. It would be great, and in my opinion, the community really needs it right now, if you could get some sort of dialogue going between the forums and your staff at least monthly. Either that or update us on what exactly you're doing, what kind of problems you've noticed, what kind of problems you're encountering, what you're prioritizing, etc, monthly. We used to get a weekly monologue, now we're getting total silence. Having in mind that this is a subscription game, and a single player buy to play flopped game can afford twice weekly hourly dialogues, I think that it would be only fair if we could get at least a monthly monologue.

A great way to keep up with what's going on is to use the devtracker - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/devtracker/
 
Right now, you'll see that a lot of the posts are pointed at PTR stuff because that's the biggest thing that just hit a few days ago.

			I've been using the dev tracker for quite a while, but most of the time dev posts consist of a reply to a problem, or a patch notes update. Not anything even remotely like what we had with Nexus report, or what the other guys are doing. That's why I would like to suggest a dialogue with the forum sessions, or a separate "right guys this is what's going on" topic every month.

			Dev communication here goes in cycles. When they have things to say, they talk to us. When they're working on things, they get quiet. I've seen this happen 5 or 6 times in the last year and a half.
