Your patience and contribution in to this forum never ceases to amaze me. My hat goes off to the detailed support posts you've written so far. Great to hear there is a FAQ in the oven! You should apply for the community manager position..

And I can't blame people for assuming they conveniently get an answer to their questions for a product they've bought without reading through walls of random text. If the information is not part of the manual or similar easily accessible source of support material available there should be answers available in a community of some sort.

I'd be interested to hear of the longer term roadmap for features like dynamic weather, campaign, DX11, 64-bit exe, etc.

Even a rough outline of what sequence we can expect to see those features appear.

Though I expect there is still too much to be done fixing the current state and getting up to standard with AI, comms, map, etc.

There are no realistic or definite ETAs in software development, deal with it. We know what they're working on, and when something comes out, it'll be out.
Well put.

The only thing I miss is an organized way to keep track of the bugs, an their status. Some users of this forums had tried , but I believe this is a job for the dev team, or a middle man, because they have the tools and the knowledge to keep the list useful, updated and in some cases with an explanation

Sometimes I wonder if our efforts to comunicate issues to the devs are in vain or not. Not easy to be a good beta tester without feedback from the other end.

Yep, I can point out a number of things that need attention or would help but I get the feeling they're still in scramble - or perhaps near panic - mode for US release and can't even think about that kind of stuff. I'd also bet they're still in the midst of trying to hire staff.

IMHO they could easily make an online bug tracker available to the community. For example, Mantis would be perfect, so the dev would'nt have to gather intel on the forums here and there, the resulting thing being an ungodly mess.

Oh, and Mantis is free...

Since Insurber already started the good work of collecting issues and prioritising them based on user feedback, he might aswell take the next step and add the data into Mantis for more structured approach.

*wink wink, nudge nudge*

This task was appointed to you. And if you do not find a way, no one will.
