Arguments, speculations, rants and generally off-topic/repetitive topics megathread

"minimum 2 weeks" might also be read as 2 months, 2 years, 2 decades, 2 hundred years, 2 thousand years or even never-ever.

the communication fault is of Luthier's who doesn't understand that, while saying "minimum 2 weeks" won't bound you to release anything after those 2 weeks time period (and it's a good thing he learned that), it still bounds you to give an update of the situation after the said 2 weeks, or close enough..

I still can't understand the failure of spending exactly 5 minutes to post something like "guys, we're sorry we couldn't managed it in two weeks, it seems we'll need another three at least, so see you then. thank you for your patience!"..

Having played many MMO's, I can EXACTLY understand why they don't. Any such statement would, damn near without fault, lead the the EXACT same situation as we have now, namely a bitchfest of epic proportions, which again would lead to the devs not bothering to speak to us at all.

Regardless of what they do, they will get murdered on the boards. It's a Catch 22-situation (aka classic "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't").

Hell, I understand perfectly well why they don't bother taking 5 mins to post, as whatever they said would be turned back at them instantly.

I'm sorry, but it seem you don't understand anything.

This is a board of 12 years old kids complaining that their beloved mage got nerfed in the latest patch, while the warrior got a super-duper new ability to own them.

This is about a game gravely affected by bugs and not-developed features to the point the single player mode is next to useless.

but please, feel free to go on..

I can see you've never played a Funcom-game. If you had, you'd see that the whining and bitching here is damn near exactly the same as you'll find there, and other, places.

I've also never refuted the fact that this game has issues, some of the staggering in proportion and utterly game-breaking in effect. Hell, I'll be the first one to join that bandwagon. But the whining and bitching that goes on in here is, quite frankly, about as staggering in it's idiocy. They way people go on and on and on about how little communication there is, how horrible the game is etc doesn't really make it a gigantic secret as to why someone doesn't bother posting a dev-update. Why bother, when all you'll get is an avalanche of negativity? I'd love to be able to fly my 109 together/against with my friends. I'd love to have the same fun for hours on end that I had back in IL2:1946. We're not there yet, but that doesn't mean that I'll get bent all out of shape about it. There'll be news to be had when it's ready to be given, and acting like a small child that goes MOM!MOM!MOM! ICECREAM! MOM! MOM! ICECREAAAAM! for months on end won't get it any faster.

Yes, it's more or less broken. Yes, there's little to no communication. Yes, Oleg might have jumped over to other projects. Yes, Ilya aka Luthier is now in charge. Deal with it. Have people so insanely little to do that they can't walk away from something and check back a few weeks/months later? Talk about OCD'ing!

People need to 1: accept that things takes time, and 2: learn that patience is a virtue.

I wish that I'd win the lottery so that I could walk into my boss' office and do the Allmight Feckoff-dance, hand over my resignation and then launch into a tirade on how utterly stupid I think most of the decisions she's taken for the last two years are, but until that happens: Patience. It's a virtue, and one that few possess.

You know, I don't even know why I bother. It'll get drowned out by the whining anyway.

Well, at least you're not whining.

What part of "two weeks minimum" is proving to be so hard to understand?

1. Nothing is hard about that.
2. STILL what is so hard about taking two minnutes to post a simple sentence saying that it takes them a bit longer? NOTHING
3. Why don't they understand that they would appease a lot of the community by just doing that, posting regular updates that give rough directions for what is going on?

Seriously, how hard can it be?

[Chivas]

Its also not that hard to figure out that things are going as well as hoped. Or for the conspiracy theorists " They have the patch done but really enjoy reading all the crap in the forums".
