Long live:

Thanks Amidatelion, i really agree with this as much as i hate to say it.. I've watched some of the Q&A streams, (including the one tonight, which i partly missed though) And i totally get what you are saying here. You can't possibly agree with every question and suggestion that gets thrown at you as a person in a position with high responsibility and expectations from the whole community. ''If all the suggestions sound 'great', none of them do.''
I might be mistaken here but i don't think our captain is taking this seriously enough.

This was really just created as a playful nod to Hughe's "Priotities" meme.... buttttt it was made off of something we hear pretty frequently.

I understand this, but i think the 'joke' is based off on a more serious thing. Maybe it's just me, but it would be nice to hear more 'serious' answers to the suggestions and things people are concerned about regarding the game.. I'm not saying having a positive attitude is a bad thing but it eats one's credibility if they just mindlessly agree with everything.

I understand where you're coming from, I do. However Josh and Tiggs have only been really around Hawken for a little over a month or so. I remember a month into Hawken, I was just joining the forums. A month into the forums, I was producing my first guide. It was a guide for using a single weapon on a single mech, and it could have used some work- and that was after two months of playing Hawken about 20 hours a week.
Both Josh and Tiggs have had a variety of things to do regarding the big picture of Hawken, neither able to fully participate in either the community or the game.
I think it's also obvious that we have.... a certain passion for the game and the community, and that's something that a new developer is going to be scared to tread on. If he answers a questions wrong in a definite sense, say, "we're adding melee mechs into the game for sure" just because he and Tiggs like the concept, he'd face a very strong, very distracting outcry from the community, and it'd be one that would make investors give him a little bit of a second glance.
A year down the road, I'd say it might be unacceptable, but currently the development team, with the exception of Ash... who isn't part of Reloaded, aren't even a quarter as familiar with the game, the community, or the trends that occur within either, as even the average community member. He's just playing it safe, and that's a serious thing to do.
It is also worth mentioning that when asked some pretty hardball questions regarding the business side of things, or server issues, he's actually gotten pretty specific. They only seem to shy away from things like game balance and additions, which is completely fair at this point in time.

The internet. Nothing is a joke. Everything is a joke.
It occurs to me... Josh looks kinda lonely up there.
Only one thing for it, really.

Nah they kinda just happen. I've missed a bunch too. There's usually someone streaming though, and if you hang out on the TS long enough it's bound to happen.
