Scale of 1 to 5 how toxic do you rate the game (wizden servers excluding salamander)?
then
on a scale of 1 to 5 how toxic do you rate the community?
also, if there’s anyone who’s working on the game
a scale of 1 to 5 how toxic it is to work on the game with others who are also working on the game/other admins/maintainers/manger/staff member?
just curious on other people’s experiences are like
To elaborate 1 is not toxic 5 is very toxic I forgot to put this in there sorry
I cannot talk for how it is inside the admin team, altho i do hope that things have improved since the last call of attention from the ones that left.
But the community has always felt very safe and healthy regardless. I cannot think of a single game with a healthier community tbh. And i do not doubt it is very much due to admin intervention
My only grips is with some decisions and handling of some git PRs, specially related to self merges or disregards of feedback, which often lead to broken implementations that hurt the experience more than they help (like the quickly discarded slot inventory or the recent implanter rework). Not that they had any malicious intent, just that they had major flaws that they refused to fix before merging.
Its alright. You get some moaners, you get some people who let real life leak into gameplay and roleplay in all the bad ways, but the grand majority are here to have fun.
For WizDen and its community, I’d say it ranges 2-3. It’s not free of toxicity - I don’t know if any community is, really - but the admins are very willing to crack down on people causing problems, ime, so the toxicity is fairly limited. People do slip through the gaps, though…
