Why do you need to know more than "they're working on fixing the game"? Does it really make you feel better if they say "we're working in fixing the game, sound is the #1 priority"? What if sound isn't your #1 priority? What if they say that multi-player is the #1 priority and you want them to fix the sound? Is that update still welcome? Are you beginning to see the problem?

Yes I can see the problem, the problem is you don't want to know anything, however I want to know but I don't want know what you think you know so let luthier come here and tells us what he knows...

Yes I see where your coming from and I really really don't care, what priorities they have set is not for me to debate over that's luthiers job... All I want to know is what they are working on its an easy way to keep spirits up and build a good relationship up with fan base that why most companies try to keep ppl informed.

Not even close. The problem is that any sort of progress report is just going to upset people (which you can see every time there is a progress report) for reasons both real and imagined.

BTW, it's not that I don't want to know anything, it's that it makes no difference whether I know anything. The update will be ready when it's ready. It will fix whatever it fixes. There is no way I can change any of that, so what real difference does it make if I know the details?

While I understand what you're saying and such, I also find myself disagreeing. Yes, I cannot make a difference as to what they're working on, but I'd like to know what to look forward to regardless. If nothing else than to boost my patience-meter and not wipe CLoD off my disks until it's in a more playable state than it currently is.

Can 1C become better in the field of dev-to-Player communication? Of course they can. Yet I find myself understanding why they don't bother, since any and every single post by Luthier finds him under fire for just about any- and everything. If they say they're working on the sounds, people will wail about the flightmodels. If they work on performance-issues, people will wail about the AI. So regardless of what they do, they're damned and will come under fire. Some will say that such is the life of a software-dev, but seriously, can you blame them for not communicating when all they get is a deluge of sewage and manure coming in at mach 4-speeds horizontally?

Sigh... read my post again.

I just want to be kept informed.. Not a lot to ask.
