Best Of

This guy using the Far Left as a fashion accessory for his personal agenda is so ironic of the ideals of the movement.

This guy's brain has already far left.

I despise how the AI can just dash back and intercept, I swear they're working with different controls than the players. Not to mention the walk up intercepts or even special intercepts

The printing in-game name on the badges is something I've seen a few folks mention and that I think is a good idea. The irl names on the back was just for security purposes, but I do think at future events we can take that experience to the next level by making it easier to find folks you know online but don't know in person. I'm also considering holding a pinwheel to improve my own visibility xD

On a serious note though, everyone's experience is personal and unique and I'm sorry that OP's was not as positive as some of the other folks sharing here in the thread. We've connected directly, and like Mike said if theres more specific and direct feedback you're more comfortable sharing one on one we want to make sure we're always improving and doing better. Even if this is your last time joining us at an event, insights here can help us make sure future attendees do not feel isolated or let down at an event. Or at the very least help us do what we can to minimize it.

To everyone here sharing their own positive experiences, I'm so glad you had a good time. To those of you taking time to cheer up OP, you are the light in this community and I value and treasure your empathy and humanity.

And now I sleep (I've been telling myself that for an hour but my cat is finally insisting it's bed time)

Anyone have email addresses for Kabam Executive Leadership I would love to share my experience.

I would've loved to attend, and Vancouver is an awesome city.

But my wife only allows me one personal trip a year, and I already used it up for an onlyfans convention in September.

This is what happens when introverts gathers in one place. I'm the opposite, I'd really appreciate it if no one talks to me so I can conserve my social energy. Hahaha.

Cheers to you and your son, though. Hope you can still find enjoyment in the community. Despite a handful of oddballs, this community is really one of the best.

Then he should have tried to have a conversation tf?

No, it’s not. But here’s the flip side. The entire time I was there, whenever I reached out explicitly to chat with an attendee, they were friendly and engaging. When I stood passively and just watched people go by, exactly zero times did anyone come up to me cold to start a conversation. That’s just the reality of the situation. Someone has to be the one to make more than a token effort in these situations, and there’s no such thing as hoping someone gets a hint. Hints do not survive convention atmospheres.

Many if not most of my conversations (at the Fest) started with the person I was talking to grabbing someone else and saying “guess who this is.” Conventions and events are not a place to go for people to find you, unless you’re famous and I’m not that kind of famous. You go to be the finder, to reach out and grab people and say hi. And just to give you an idea of just how chaotic the interactions were there, I was there all day every day for the entire weekend, and I only found out today that Seatin was there. I don’t recall seeing him there or I would have definitely said hi. I probably walked passed him multiple times and didn’t notice. Seatin is probably one of the most recognizable people in the community, and he never caught my eye. Crazy.

I mean, I hear what you're saying, but the truth is that social interactions are highly subjective and everyone is in their own heads.

I just can't imagine not saying a single word at an event, not even a "hello," but then writing a thousand word essay about how every employee there was cold. That is a self-fulfilling prophecy, a way to cast blame on others for our own inability to socialize.

Also remember that many people have a very warped perspective of what is actually happening in the moment. Like someone might think they're giving a friendly smile or nod, but the people on the receiving end might be seeing a tense unwelcome grimace.

Not saying this is OP's situation, but just want people in this thread who might be young or shy or whatever to kind of not fall into this trap of both not putting themselves out there but then also expecting and blaming others for rejecting them. Because this mindset is a painful trap, and it basically prevents the person from ever connecting with others because of fear of rejection, which then creates resentment, as we see in this post.
