the team has proven a good feel for item balance so far (especialley lateley with the semi shotty)
- How important is game "balance" for the team?
It is very important indeed, all new items are checked and tweaked by Björn, to make sure that they don't disrupt the game balance.
Gooseman81 wrote:- how important are community suggestions and polls for you and the team?, is it part of your daily working routine to view them?
Community suggestions are the main source for inspiration for us, so yes, we go through them on a regular basis, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly – it really depends.

I have a huge respect and appreciation for this community, and consider myself very lucky to be working with it. People here are passionate, intelligent, helpful and friendly, they get along well, have loads of brilliant ideas and speak up their mind. I can not think of a more ”dream community” for any community manager to work with
I am well aware of the problems and issues we have, but they are a natural part of any group dynamics and, thanks to the members, never grow into huge disasters.
I don't think that coming to Steam will influence this community to a large extent, people who are used to come to these forums for information and chat, will continue doing so. However, we'll perhaps get another theHunter ”community” on the Steam platform, for people who are accustomed to hang out there. The main challenge will probably be to manage both of them separately and effectively or to bring them together, at least to a certain extent. We shall see, it's going to be exciting anyway.

- will "guilds" aka HUntingclubs be added to the game at some (hopefully soonish) point?
We would like to introduce them at some point, but it won't happen any time soon. Adding such functionality is quite a huge task, which will involve lots of resources.

Probably yes, at some point in the future.

Can't promise that, sorry. As you know, we don't reveal any plans or future releases until the timing is right, so I wouldn't be able to give you the answer to this question anyway
