for the attention of Luthier, results of the poll

[Tigertooo]

Dear Luthier,
I take it you've read or are being briefed about the 48-hours results of the little poll i've put up. I do know only some 117 took part, so be it, perhaps the poll needed to be spread on a longer time base, that could be aranged if you should want.
Anyway, the results show that some 68 % of the voters would really like a serious update personally from you, about the future of CloD.
68 % is in politics more than a 2/3 majority or also called an "absolute majority". So a rather important outcome for a small poll.
So can i kindly ask you what your ideas are about some everytime repeated questions that i ventilated from the 1C Official Forums for some months now:
-in what time table are you and your crew thinking for solutions of the problems so far: months, one year, couple of years?
The point is that imho, most of the community would accept any of the three answers, because with an answer, even vague, we would at least have "some" clue.Now we hav'nt a clue at all.
I aso do understand your task as a programmer of such a difficult sim is of course extremely complex so i do realise the Devs. can't make "exact" promisses.Be assured that many in the community don't expect "exact" promisses.
But on the other hand, you being the lead Dev,i am pretty sure that you and your team must have at least "some" ideas on how things will or will not or can't be develloped since the major problems that arrose with , not for all, but for many virtual pilots with the long awaited last patch .
About unfinished though promissed features (weather, comms,COOP,readme, playable tanks, minor or major buggs etc...): Are you and your team still working in those items? Also here, a "yes" answer would be good, a "no" answer would be good as well, as at least we would "know" something.
The concluding question is of course: can you and your team and 1C guarantee that there is a bright future for CloD in the near future? Also here a "yes" would be great, a '"no" would be accepted as well, but if the answer is "yes", i hope you can give the 68% voters a refeshing answer, because as on say "The truth hurts, the doubts kill"
I wish you and your team all the best and i ( and the others) hope to have some real positive but realistic news from you very shortly.The poll is calling you.
Kind regards,
sincerely yours
Tigertooo

Come on people. He's not breaking any forum rules just by having an opinion and he has worded the whole thing in a perfectly acceptable, polite fashion, which is more than can be said for a lot of posts here.

Let the man have his say

[AndyJWest]

a rather important outcome for a small poll

Nope.

can you and your team and 1C guarantee that there is a bright future for CloD in the near future?

Nope. How could anyone possibly guarantee that?

PS:can i ask a Moderator to lock this thread

Can I ask a moderator to delete this thread, as the vacuous whine it is...

[Tigertooo]

as asked, can you please lock this thread? If i don't get an answer from Ilya within a week, i'll have nothing more to say at all
Thanks for locking Blackdog

well since you did take time to do a poll . ..

remember politics is what killed this game, so if you're asking the devs to go political lyrical man, forget stealth, be prepared for sudden death.


now on the main course


part of a cliffhanger is a) the cliff

why? cuz in a cliff hanger, you don't wanna know if hero and his team lives or dies. You let that anxiousness and wonderment build up.

If you saw the hero and crew dangling from safety wires, because of a camera angle change, it kills the movie immersion.

If you see the camera pan down and realize the cliff is only 5 feet off the ground, it kills movie immersion even more.

Suddenly you see the end where everyone's all happy and hunky dory, you want your $15 back.


I think 1C is doing this deliberately. We're excited at the possibilies. Or at least I am.




the devs or the publisher aint going to give time tables

because if its a month, its too short and they'll leave something out

if its a several months, people will complain they could have invested their $45 into a 401K or such investments and would be millionares.

if it's a year, they'll say IF ROF was broken, and that's a huge IF like that IF never happened ever in a million years because this is the golden child of Aviation here. Move over Amelia and Svetlana Kapanina and the SU-26 cuz it ain't never happened.

But it was never broken and had a near perfect release, and if it was broke like CLoD they would did it 2 days.

And their fans would get twitter updates every 30 secs to 60 secs.


if it's several years, they'll give this game the finger and say ROF will develop Korea, they have WOW warplanes and WOW planes thunder edition, and DCS P-51 blackshark or 1946 works.

And whole new generation of ADD kids used to Call of Duty 2000, Armitage 8, and Battlefield 9 will like this game.

And they won't realize for a second that the makers of Il-2 1946 did what George Lucas did, make an epic original series, then screw up the the sequels.




for promised features, they gave us an idea or better yet, one can figure it out. Fix the brokeness then once you're non broke and up and running . . .

Finish serving the main coarse and desserts (extras / features) will come after



if the devs and 1C can guarantee a bright future the game would have been allowed to develop to a point we wouldn't be having these issues.

The only guarantee you can expect are A) God doing good B) Devil doin' bad D) death C) taxes (yeah its intentional).

That's it man.

[Tigertooo]

yeahh i'm naive, that's it man
