This sentence seems to be not the first time we have heard it, and a community manager of Arrowhead, the developer of "Bad Divers 2", recently reminded players that there is nothing wrong with taking a break from killing bugs and robots and playing other games or doing other things.


In a post on the Reddit forums, community manager Twinbread discussed the backlash against the recent balance changes in Bad Divers 2. The backlash has now turned into a protest, with a group of players becoming Chaos Divers and launching a full-scale attack on Super Earth.

Twinbread admitted that "some things didn't work as we or the players had hoped," and said that these mistakes were either communication problems or "bad results of time constraints." Overall, he called the situation "unfortunate" and mentioned the game director's previous promise to improve the game within 60 days.

Until then, he believes that if players don't like the game now, it's okay not to play it for a while: "I hope you can stay, but it's okay to stop playing a game and come back to it later, especially if it's a live service game that is under continuous development."


However, players probably don't want to hear these things from the official now, especially since Arrowhead has repeatedly broken its promises and weakened weapons that players find useful, the protests among players have become "not looking at words, looking at actions", and they only hope that the official can fulfill their promises within the specified time. As the player who replied below pointed out, after saying a lot, the community manager still did not directly respond to the problems with the enemy generation method mentioned in the original post.


On the other hand, this isn't the only game to say this. After Blizzard launched Diablo 4 last summer, which was met with a lot of criticism, it also suggested that players take a break and play other games for a while. However, the developers of "Phantom Palu" are more emotionally intelligent. In February, Pocketpair community manager Buckey told players: "If you don't play "Phantom Palu" anymore, we still love you. We hope you can come back for round two."

Hopefully, players are really just taking a break instead of just running away.
