Baker. 1484 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I can't help but become very frustrated week after week reading these reports. I have tried for the last hour to write out a well documented and well worded (non-aggressive) reply based on the prior status report's, trying to understand the direction in which development is going with this game. However I simply can't find the words without sounding like a complete asshole and that is not my intent with making this post. I'm just trying to understand so please if you must, take this with a grain of salt; I have a lot of respect for what goes into development having been apart of a software project management team, and understand that things change as software evolves from when the first few lines of code that are written. I don't have the luxury to play all the time, and I certainly don't have enough time to check out the experimental builds vs. stable from patch to patch to compare, but it just seems that development is all over the place from week to week and month to month. Why is that the case with this game? Is there staffing issues and/or turnover within the teams that prevents you all from moving forward on progress of things that have been touched on in the past? Has there ever been an internal discussion with the entire team(s) that maybe you all should stop working on delivering new content and get what you have now working correctly? Please stop hiding behind the curtain of "This game is still alpha" as an excuse for all the bugs/glitches/issues and just make the game more playable. You need a fan base to continue development and I fear you're losing too many of us with the route in which you are currently taking simply based on the performance. I for one am holding on and watching to see where things go. I don't give up on a game just b/c I don't like the development but when the game is not enjoyable due to bad frame rate, glitches, etc etc ..... its hard to continue playing. If after reading all this and you're angry with my opinion, please read this again and think about players out there who are just starting out and at the same time think of players like myself who have been around since the beginning of standalone. Bohemia will get this done. I used to think like you but the facts don't support this take on development. BIS makes crazy hardcore games, and they support them for years and years and years after release. They aren't the company that vomits out Battlefild 4 and then needs Battlefield hard line ready for the next quarter. They deeply support the user base (within what is reasonable) and again support their games for years, they are still patching Arma 2 FFS. Just relax don't lose hope. Honestly though, I would wager that its not hope you are losing, its patience. Edited August 12, 2015 by B@ker 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
