4. The telegram chat can be used by all players where community members can help answer questions on game knowledge and the HDO(s) can help answer them there too.
People ignoring these processes run the risk of and should expect that they may not have their question/issue resolved.

Contacting Staff directly on telegram will no longer be a valid process for you to guarantee an issue to be resolved and they may direct you to the Helpdesk.
This is to help streamline the amount of time we spend on resolving issues; if we have to read through hundreds of messages we often miss things.

Ideas & Suggestions:
You guys sure are a creative and innovative bunch and we love seeing your ideas, sometimes the chat makes it very hard for us to follow all of the good features you suggest so please follow the following process:

1. Ideas/Suggestions should be posted to the Innovation Forum
2. You should include as much information as possible to provide understanding to us on what you want to see the idea become
3. Don't feel scared that the idea may not be a popular one, sometimes those ideas can flourish into a larger part of an idea for future seasons so every little suggestion counts!
4. Encourage other players to take a look and discuss your idea, the more discussion the greater chance we have to formulate a good idea into a game feature!

Can't be bothered to post your idea? Why not ask an Innovator for help?

Contacting Staff directly on telegram will no longer be a valid process for you to guarantee an idea to be considered and they may direct you to the Innovation Forum.
