Why so little interaction with the community?

[Storm of When]

Hopefully Jason will buy the franchise and we`ll get RoF style customer interaction, cos these lot are like Waldorf and Staedtler. Come on gents show us that you actually give a flying **** about customer support. Earth calling 1C is anybody there ?????.

LOL. Highly amusing to see these ludicrous comparisons, especially when they're so far off the mark. Jason is probably happy that they can work without being overly worried about money. 1C could buy out Jason's little bunch by covering them with money and still have enough to spare to coat walls, ceilings and floors of their offices. And the outside of the building. If Maddox Games doesn't cut it they'll either be closed or reassigned to some other project. 1C won't be bothered, they've got a very broad portfolio.

clod is a row of broken promises....thats it.
there was no progress in the last 1,5 years at all in my view,....only a few steps backwards.the game doesnt look as good anymore as it did on release, many features where just taken out of the game, and some were made more arcade when they were realistically implemented before...
the game doesnt run faster at all on my pc...its the same like on day one.
they have cut out start up procedures, realistic compasses, clouds and their shadows,kill markings.....
they destroy things that already worked....
they introduced major bugs with every patch.....LOD problem,sound bugs,low textures....they all have yet to be solved again..

i could understand low progress, because they are a small team and have limited resources...(8years and 8milliion $)
but if they are that limited in resources, why the heck dont they work with the community at all?
i cant comprehend how they dare to post banjo music instead of getting in touch with us and work with us...there are so many talented people here.
...others are not so talented(me) but those at least send bug reports and play the game and know exactly the flaws, bugs and other problems of the game and post them here to be ignored.

fact is, that all the people here on this forum, are/were fans of the il2 series, expecting the best, trying to help to reach that goal....

if the devs would listen to the community/ their customers,...the game would be far better by now.
but obviously they just dont see the need for this for some dubious reason...
they dont even read the bugtracker, which again was a community effort, praised by Luthier.
then there were/are the lies....you can call it what you want, and find excuses for it, but at the end of the day all the promises turned out to be lies.

so all we can do is trust in them again and hope that we dont get an il-2 girl this time, but maybe working weather instead Luthier???if i want a hot girl on my lap, then i shut down my pc grab my girlfriend.
i dont need a pimp Luthier, but a working 109...and you failed in delivering both(the spit girl looks like crap)

if there only were competition you would be probably out of business already.

so i wont trust in you anymore until you restore faith....so this time give us all the broken promises or at least a happy end

When the game launched and people complained about the lack of available information for each aircraft Luthier said more detailed info would be released in the future but there has been no word on that since...

I never said it involved Jason buying out 1C who I know are a massive set up, I meant if perhaps he could acquire the IL2 franchise from Maddox games, I didn`t think it would be necessary to spell it out in full but I guess the finer points of the English language may not be obvious to the non English.

We suspect Jason either wouldn`t or couldn`t anyway, but if you want a fine example of how a dev involves himself with the community then Jason is a prime case, wow he even goes and answers questions on the forum, his team fixed a dog of a game and his set up continues to release 300+mb patches on a regular basis and thanks the purchasers for supporting his efforts.

So to put it in an easy to understand way, Maddox Games (if it`s still called that) could learn a lot from how the RoF team support and approach their community, if the reader is so blind that they deny thats fact then I`m obviously pissing in the wind.

I've read that far too often, I can no longer muster anything but sarcasm to that remark. Sorry.

You know one of the reasons I come here is that I feel envigorated due to the fact that it's easy to feel happy when I'm surrounded by misserable people wallowing in their self pitty.

It actually makes my life look really peachy keen and rosey!

The news and/or patch will either arive when it's ready or it won't. Need to deal with that guys! Keep up the good work Devs!

As a side note I've had to cut my goatee into a nasty looking mustache to go to a swinging 70's Party to night.

Catch you all on the filp side fella's!

I have no problem with your post and relaxed approach, that's good for you But this....

You must of missed the ROF turmoil when it was also released "unfinished" albeit not as "unfinished" as COD was. Jason bought into ROF after the game engine was finished and now has a very good idea what the game engine can accomplish, so he can answer questions and provide updates with confidence. At the moment Luthier doesn't have that luxury, the much more complex COD game engine still requires alot of work. Even if Jason was able to buy COD months ago, it would not have been possible for him to confidently say what the future would hold for the sim, nevermind meaningful updates. That said the future of COD and the new IL-2 series will be told soon enough, they are running out of time.
