Warning: This game is on the edge. Support it or watch it die.

The name Clod is fecked now. I wouldn't be surprised if 1C release a "new" kinda Forgotten Battles in 6 months or so like they did with IL-2. All functions incorporated and patched etc.

I'll support 1C and Olex and the gang whatever they do cause they gave me so much fun with the IL-2 series (especially PF).

Everyone that dished out fifty bucks is suffering now …

If this game goes under, you will have nothing to do but whine. No game, no development, NOTHING.

They have spent 5 or 6 years developing it …

The only smart thing to do at this point is to support the developers, give them POSITIVE feedback on issues.

If they want support and “POSITIVE” feedback they need to start a FAQ “DEVELOPERS FRIDAY UPDATE THREAD” and keep there customers up-to-date …

That’s going to happen … …

I canceled both my preorders, but as soon as CoD available here in the US I will buy a collectors edition and a regular copy, but not as a beta game …

Have some faith in the Oleg's Team … and try to be a bit more “POSITIVE”

I guess the upside is that pirates/ thieves will only hack into a product which won't work for them, what with updates only available through Steam and all

[Damixu]

I must say at this stage:

1) We need more information about the future patches/fixes and development to assure this sim is going to stay alive and prosper

2) We need more patches/fixes to bring the sim at well performing playable level

3) We need more patches/fixes to introduce rest of the functionality what has been left out due prematurely forced release


I stress to the Luthier and co. to start urgently very frequent news delivery for the public eager to know if and when there is hope to get remedies to the plaguing issues they have and have something to look for.

In the end of the day it takes couple of minutes of effort to formulate a news for the public but makes a huge difference on this very volatile situation.

I race online using the pay subscription 'iracing' it is the best racing simulator made. Every 12 weeks a major update is released , with road maps ect given for future updates. We all know what is coming up. The service is 10/10.

Really this is what COD needs , no a subscription based ( although that is more profitable ) but regular updates on the situation.

Freedom of speech does not exist on a privately owned internet forum, my friend. That idea is something you can knock out of your head right away.

Their rules, their laws, and you accepted that once you agreed to the ToS/EULA for the boards. They can ban you for using the word freedom if they so choose, and there's nothing you can do about it. Hell, they don't even need a reason.

On topic: I don't think the game is going to tank at all. 1C's reputation, built through MANY years in IL2, is too good for that. To be honest, I'd be very, very suprised if we don't sit here and laugh about the launch of CLoD in 3 years time and then praise the work the team did to get it to whatever state it's in at that time. And 1C isn't going to tank due to this at all. They've got more legs to stand on, and while CLoD is a serious investment in terms of time and money for them, it's by no means their only cash-cow.

Me, I'm a patient creature. The €50 I spent on the game is well-spent money in my book, as I know the game will become better and better as each week passes. And should it not, I'll just shrug and move on. It's not the end of the world, and neither is it for anyone else.

I think you misunderstand the degree of professionalism of Oleg and his Team; no one needs to worry about being banned for voicing their opinions about a game they just paid their hard earned money for. They love the game or they would not be here voicing their opinions.

I guess I hit a nerve with the word “Freedom” and for you my friend, I have updated my post …

Could you please describe the "Suffering" that has been caused by your spending of that $50. The $50 you apparently had no critical use for and spent on a game.. Lets at least be honest here.. "Suffering?" Come on...

DO NOT KID YOURSELF. THIS GAME IS ON THE EDGE

This game is not on the Edge, and thats a fact

[609_Huetz]

Sometimes I am amazed to see what people waste their time and thoughts on.

This game has received the bad reviews because it is/was in a bad state. Period.

It is up to developers to limit the damage that has already been done and they are on the way of getting that right as far as I could tell.

We have supported the devs already in buying a beta.

If however the game fails, it is not the communities fault - we are here to point out what needs fixing. In our own words that is and that is also support.

Do yourself a favor and stop the fanboism and worshiping for once - the only feedback that will help in a long term is bad feedback, as paradox as it may sound. That is how this market and any market works so live with it. If something is broken and nobody points it out, it will not get fixed.

If you feel the urge to defend a piece of software as if it was your home, I strongly advice to rethink your priorities in life.
