and this is why we can't have nice things, especially when driven by Twitter.

This insolent child like behavior of asking for updates is so old. It is implied suspicion that Hasbro is not adhering to their obligation and it is baseless. The only update we need is when shipping begins.

I don't remember where i signed the campaign saying i had to find a single update from Twitter, but that is the only place they provide them. Was it in the contract when ordering the game that you were required to have a Twitter and follow it for information?

This John Whyman 2 person sounds like a bit of a whiner to me. He can act offended that people are asking for updates, but they can also tell him to stop being such a whiner. Why is he checking twitter for updates, when he himself believes nothing will be forthcoming until ship date (last I checked, it's not fall yet). Classy guy opening up with the insults, but that's par for the course with Twitter, so I hear!

I won't ever create an account for that place, but I would say to him: No need to white knight for Hasbro, John. Multi-million dollar corporations don't have feelings that can be hurt, and they have repeatedly ASKED for feedback (Including questions)... they can always close their twitter account if they can't handle it, or (shock/horror), actually provide a constructive response to legit concerns.

Not every one of their paying customers is a lifetime Hasbro Pulse member, in fact I'd wager that most people who pledged for HQ this was their first time participating in such a thing, so give them a frikkin' break, you goof. Watch me getting dragged down by their negativity!

Our whiners over Twitters whiners any day of the week. Also, can we have some updates please?

HOW IS IT I AM CONSIDERED THE BAD GUY WHEN THE HEROES LEAVE THEIR KNIVES LYING ALL OVER THE PLACE IN OUR DUNGEONS?!

IF YOU THROW A KNIFE, PICK IT UP WERE YOU ALL RAISED IN FANTASY BARNS!?!?

Oh you missed the comment about exploring the bottoms of pits … there might be candy down there, you don't know…

The last time I saw attempts at humor that were this forced, I was on Disney's Jungle Cruise ride. Granted, I was entertained by that ride, but I also wasn't looking for information about an upcoming game release.

[Kurgan]

So basically what they're telling us is that they're not allowed to release any new HQ information, because they have time to post joke updates to try to get replies, but not to provide actual answers to product-related questions!

Otherwise "Zargon" should be posting pics and descriptions of game components, release dates, etc. that's all we really care about. If this guy was as entertaining as the Bard (make his beard white and give him a big red and black cape, oops, that's "Mentor" now, well this guy isn't following canon either), maybe it would be worth our time.

Consider, they are either paying somebody to do this, or somebody on the project is using their spare time for messages. At least a hacker would be posting more edgy content to get noticed!

Imagine if it were all a coded cry for help from the design team. Somebody get on that right away...

[iKarith]

I figure Zargon is the Avalon Hill intern and not allowed to actually say anything of substance on anything.

[Kurgan]

Hasbro has become so powerful, even the lord of evil is merely a pawn in their game...


FREE ZARGON!

[Kurgan]

I'm imagining a quest where the four Heroes briefly enter our dimension to bust Zargon out of the cell he's been locked in, forced to make twitter posts.

If we don't do this, it's only a matter of time before a greater evil is unleashed across multiple-universes. Better the devil you know...
