I had one of those for my 11th birthday...massive thing it was

The top came off to which exposed the turret for a figure to sit in, a removable floor panel to smuggle any guns or droids you may have seized and a round chess table where chewbacca could sit and pull off CP3O's arms when he lost..

Anyway...

''That wasnt the Millenium Falcon you were looking for...move along,move along''

Still got mine!

My brother had the MF, Scout Walker, AT-AT etc. dozens of the figures. all originals....

He moved to NZ and left them in my Dad's loft....

Haven't got the heart to tell him that Dad cleared the loft out last year....

He didn't keep any of them.

When you say cleared, you don't mean... Trashed?!?!?!...

did he not know how much originals are now or did he pocket the money

I must say though that such a humorous approach does full me with reinforced hope that, since you can feel so safe in a position to tease, that we can expect great things shortly...

I think that what we can learn, though, is that the team isn't going anywhere, which is great

It's good that you have a 'glass is half full' attitude. I wish I could share you're confidence and enthusiasm for the future of Clod.

I'm one of the ones here that finds Luthiers post at best 'flippant', and at the worst... well, somewhat insulting. I do have a sense of humour but I couldn't find anything within it to make me smile (the lad on the banjo is awesome though!).

On the other hand I've had some 48 hours with Clod and some of it was quite enjoyable. It's only in the last fortnight that I haven't touched it due to the many frustrations I'm experiencing with the sim and its being released in a half finished state. I think it's worth remembering that many on here who are being labelled whiners etc. are only cheesed off because not only does Clod not feature a significant amount of the features promised but many of the ones that are included are so broken that it will take months (if not years) to repair them. If Luthier is starting to get fed up with the forum content regarding Clod he needs to address the problem of communication (or lack of it) to the people who've forked out their hard earned cash on it. It's the least he can do to appease the feelings of the people who quite rightly IMO feel they have been shafted with the state of Clod even now a couple of months after release. To accept the shocking state that Clod was released in without complaint is madness and is just a signal to all devs out there that they can release what they want and Joe Public will accept it as a norm or a 'sign of the times'.

I've been gaming/simming since the Sinclair ZX81 came out (yeah, I'm that old!) and in all the years since then I don't remember there being such a hoo-haa over a game/sim release as there has been with Clod, and quite rightly so. The lack of pre-release info was enough for me to expect some problems but I certainly did not expect anyone to have the cojones to release something that was clearly still very broken and forced out of the door onto an unsuspecting community desperate for a new sim.

Had we been informed we were to be Alpha testers then that is a different matter, but we weren't! In the end for the devs and publishers it's about money and making as much as possible with as little outlay as possible and where Clod is concerned that is one of the worries. Is there enough money and commitment for Clod to be made into what it can and should be? Some seem to be convinced that the dev team aren't going anywhere...I hope that's true. I bought Silent Hunter 5 and I think I'm correct in saying that the 'plug was pulled' pretty quickly on that one, I'd hate to see Clod go the same way.

A round of applause for that man, a very good post. S!

Dear chap, there is a level of ambiguity with my posting! I was partially happy to see that Luthier can be such a 'normal' guy, but other that I've masked my truthful feelings behind a humorous facade.
I'm just, personally, tired of the ping-pong opinion-based arguments. I agree with your posting, but didn't write something similar because of the inevitable back-wash...
I think the second paragraph of my posting shows how I truly feel, and portrays the effect which Luthier's post can have. More false assumptions and more aggrivation is probably inevitable

OMG another whiner and moaner, go away, Luthier is working really hard and post like this make him want to cry and not post here any more.

Its you and whiners like you that made Oleg leave and do other stuff and your the reason COD isn't finished, not Luthier or the brilliant team.
















/sarcasm_off 100% spot on post mate.
