Now, I know a lot of you like to complain that we never listen to players, so this may come as a bit of a nasty surprise, but in fact we do pay quite a bit of attention. Case in point: the feedback posted here about specific missions is very useful to me--it's pretty much the only way I have of being able to tell what is and isn't working about the missions I design. Sugaree's "Sugar Shack" threads on the collector missions have probably been the most helpful feedback I've ever got on missions, so a big thumbs up to her!
The rest of you have been slackin', but no more! I'm puttin' you chumps to work! Starting in chapter 5.3 I'm going to kick off separate discussion threads for each of the three new weekly critical missions, maybe even leaking out their titles a day in advance just to start the cycle of mass speculation, unrealistic expectations, and subsequent bitter disappointment that as developers we have grown to know and love among our players!
Once the missions actually come out and you play them, I expect you to flame away on the thread with comments about what you liked, didn't like, and so forth in that particular mission. It will be a veritable inferno of design feedback!
So yeah, I just thought I'd give you a little warning about that.

I will do my best to help out with this then now that I know!
