What defines thread hostility? (Able commander controversy aside)

They're pythons, brother.

I believe this is accurate, yes.

The better Question is what are his maxes on Squat, Bench, Dead lift, Cleans.

We believe we respected that Commander's exclusivity. He's still exclusive and will continue to be exclusive.

What I mean to say is..

Why was the progenitor used, why not a free to everyone commander reskin? Or why was an entirely new model altogether not created?

My bench is 350 now, which I'm pretty happy about. I wish I could dead lift or clean, but my right knee is a bit of a mess.

If my grandparents were not sleeping I would be laughing the walls off right now.

Can you just up and say, we decided to save money and go for the progenitor? I mean, HOW HARD can that be?

EDIT: In afterthought, that does sound rather forward. I'm trying to ask why this answer sounds like a dodge to me.

Development schedule and we wanted to work with the Progenitor's model again.

Your personal "rulebook" on managing the community. What is your reasoning? Perhaps understanding that will help ease the communities frustration.

Having been though MANY art critiques as an art student, I would say that the critiques of the work done are valid. Brian showed the forum pictures to back up his statement. Brad, If you think the artist who made an alternate skin for an existing mesh is in danger of being offended by someone stating that very thing, I think you are not giving the artist much credit.

Sorry the reality isn't what you wanted?

I don't really understand this part of the conversation. I was referring to the way it's being tossed around.

What else can we as a community do to help out the game we love?

Like I said Brad, can you try and get a 1 hour livestream together after the Cloak and Danger round 2.

What?

I need more context here, for a re-skin I don't see how the schedule would favor a specific commander over another.

Mike

I asked if we could have a sit down Q&A with all of you at uber after the Cloak and Danger round 2. like the couch sit downs infront of the green screen and dinosaurs.

Ah. I know why it felt like a dodge. It was a dodge. You did not answer Squishy's second question. You avoided it by saying that it fit the schedule (or, in worker bee terms, it was more convenient).

Oh WAIT! KNight is ninja'ing me!

It sounds like they thought the progenitor was cool and they wanted to do him. He's not apart of the constraint, they could have chosen any- they chose him because they liked him and wanted to make another design separately.

/guessing/

I would also like to know if the commanders that are currently on sale will continue to only be available to people who purchase them. Will they ever be free to the general public? And will new commanders in the future have a timed purchase or will the only way to obtain them be to buy them? To what extent will the commander microtransactions go? Can we buy completely new skins for commanders and can we maybe earn commanders through the ladder system?

On top of this will there be a day where community members who didn`t do the kickstarter be able to design their own commanders? Maybe winning it the opportunity from a tourney or perhaps Uber just reaching out to fans?
