Goodbye Disco

[MechaCheff]

Discovery will continue on as it always has.

This is exactly what worries me about Disco's future. Things remaining the same.
Whenever someone wants to make a major change that makes the game more interesting, more appealing to new players, it raises so much drama that people just drop out.

If you want the game to survive and regain some popularity, you need major changes to be made. In gameplay, story, and attitude alike. Devs can't keep rejecting everything that shifts the status quo and expect things to improve.

This is definitely not the first time I witness this kind of attitude towards major positive changes, and I know I'm basically a "nobody" right now but that's one of the very reasons I refrained from applying as a dev so far. Zentor being forced to leave due to his gameplay improvements being vetoed, improvements that he worked hard on, did the research, and even developed all on his own, demotivates me even further.
EDIT: I dug deeper into the details, so I'm a bit less demotivated right now, but my point still stands. Mixing so much emotions with a game is a recipe for disaster, whether it comes from one dev or the other.

This thread should be pinned on Discovery's landing page, with the quote from Toaster in big bold text. It'd serve well as a warning, so that people know what they're getting into. So that nostalgic enthusiastic developers wouldn't even consider wasting time on trying to get into the dev team.

My advice, dear developers, is that you should put the emotional baggage you got with the game aside, and focus on making real good gameplay instead.
(EDIT: and players too please, play well and be nice to each other)
Take it or leave it. There's so much potential wasted for all the wrong reasons.
