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?

Not seeing an insult as such, but glass, house, brick comes to mind.

No offence intended.

Thank you Baron, yet another precious feedback from you that I will treasure in my favourite posts for the years to come. Keep up the good work!

Well I don't know about you but I would rather go through life with some info of what's going on around me and know about the pit holes and scary bugs, but if you like wondering around with a blind fold on thats your prerogative not mine so just go wander straight off a cliff...

If you're (not "you" specifically) going to spend your days (for month after month after month) complaining that the devs are not keeping you up to date on their progress (even as they keep posting progress reports), then another progress report really isn't going to change anything. (this isn't directed at you, but that is the general theme of this board)

Would I like to know? Sure. Do I need to know? Not even a little.

Glad to help even though it will probably be forgotten in an minute or 2.

David, you understand that people want different things?
and that people think differently to you?

The reason i ask is, if you was in a online sqd, i would bet you would have people who you could talk to in person(TS,Vent).
And talking to them instead of posting here you might think differently.

Over the last few days ive been flying and chatting online with Krupi, we used to disagree about a few things on here but after chatting we get along just fine.

Do you have Teamspeak 2?

Edit. that goes to Baron, Frey or anyone else that thinks im a moaning whining malcontent.

This thread is so weird. It's so full of nonsense and pointless blabber, yet I can't help myself from reading. Kinda like a day time soap opera, it's cheesy and it sucks but somehow it manages to attract people. Here's a random -almost- Simpsons clip:
