Recently the community has been saying "oh the devs suck." and "the devs are running this into the ground." so perhaps an easy fix is to post what will be worked on or implemented in the news section. Then listen to community input about planned features and actually take that into account.

[racoon]

devs already clearly stated:

NO

[Starner]

I think we should let Jovanka respond.

[DeputyDope]

I think we should let Jovanka respond.

she will put a "NO" before everything you say.

[Wind_Drift]

I think we should let Jovanka respond.

This isn't the first time this has been brought up.

So, question has already been answered.

[the underground]

Its called the suggestions board.
Whether they do it or not is another mstter.

[S.T.A.L.K.E.R]

 has any else noticed ever since jovanka became a "dev," the game started to become lame, boring, and no fun at all.

Also don't forget dying

I'm just assuming though

We mention things that we work on or things that are todo on the forum sometimes.
But perhaps the post I quoted is a good example why this doesn't happen more...~

I'm afraid we would spend most of the time reading personal attacks, nonsense flames
and even outright insults than any useful feedback about upcoming stuff. If you would like
forum to be a place that has more influence, then in my opinion we would have to rigorously
ban people like S.T.A.L.K.E.R, who don't act in civil manner and hijack the discussion by
attacking people instead of commenting the ideas.

If you just posted what was being worked on without input that would be fine as well. Something needs to be done because it is a Friday and there are less than 20 people online as of this post and throughout the day less than 60. While on Tla there were around or over 200 throughout the day. I mean I love 2238 more than Tla, but Tla has expanded, and their crafting system is more fleshed out than 2238's. Also from what I can tell they have implemented player factions which was the one thing 2238 had over Tla back in the day. Something serious needs to happen or soon it won't matter if work in progress items get posted or not.

This, by itself, would do more than a million player-influenced changes; the silence is defening, and scary.

2238 is terminally ill. All one can do is shed a few tears, remember the good times and move on.

People say this since we released in 2009.

Additionally, Jovanka is right. As soon as we are posting something, someone will jump out of the bush, throwing around insults. And it is not my hobby to read insults.

Would you rather read insults (which you don't have to do anyways), or lose players because you do not say what is being worked on. I love 2238 and I wish you guys would at minimum give the players (your server income) a clear list of what's going on. This is why many are moving to Tla, they feel that you guys don't listen to them. So please the next dev that answers provide a great reason as to why posting what is being worked on is bad, you don't even have to get input about what you are doing as long as it gets posted.

[Lexx]

(which you don't have to do anyways),

But you do, automatically. Everyone would, as it is hard to ignore.

About what is going on: Quite a few things are posted here and there on the forum. It's just that we don't have a big public list or something like that. Besides this, right now there is no straight target anyway. The active devs are - as far as I know - mainly trying to fix broken features and not add huge new ones.
