The Crystal Ball

[ingsoc84]

must admit I love the game.but a bit hacked off that its not a finished product..and was released last april/march in the UK even more unfinished..I realize its a lot of work.effort...however the devs HAD to know this game would not run well on anything BUT a high end machine before they pushed it out..and certainly had years to polish this...maybe Im way off base..however..my system should run this game well...its way beyond the specs...yet..I still struggle....I would really like a very close to finished game for my money...that needs some polishing.not something that needs a total rework a year later......its misleading...I trusted the IL name...hope it matures into something much more noteworthy.

And here’s where we are in terms of plans. We obviously remain hard at work on the series. We will continue to improve the game up until the eventual release of its sequel.

I do hope the Dev team will continue to fix all the present faults within the game and at least add some allied defensive shipping if not making more of the aircraft flyable before the release of the sequel.
If this is not the case I for one Will Boycott any further releases and not purchase them until Cliffs of Dover has been fully fixed.

Well you dont need to boycott the sim. You could instead support the community and encourage others to buy the game so the devs can continue rolling out patches and new content.

I was thinking exactly the same: a quick hotfix should be a priority of devs, maybe with a message explaining that they are working to fix this bug ... but communication to paying customers is not by all evidence a priority for Luthier and team.

Or you can startup your own company and produce a decent WWII flight sim.

Please boycott. That at least will keep you away from the forum. If it is not clear to you by now that the Maddox Games folks stick to their product, it never will, regular forum updates or not.

I have supported the il2 series since the first release and am well aware that when Oleg Maddox was in control of the development team patches and improvements were continualy released until work was started on the Storm of War .
At that time the final iL2 series ending with 1946 was fully functional in all its features worked because of continued communication with the cummunity,much of it originaly on the Ubi Forums,and the subsequent patches released as a result.
Luthier in his post said:
`We will continue to improve the game up until the eventual release of its sequel.`
What do you not understand about this statement ?
I would be more than happy if his next update stated this was just an error in translation .
To assume that support will continue when we all assumed Cliffs of Dover release would be feature fully operational apart from a few bugs would be pretty nieve to say the least.

Yes, why should that be. Think about the history of this game and IL2 and the constant fixes and upgrades, read his post and come up with an answer to your questions yourself.

does him bother you?

well......yes, non constructive whining bothers most of us.

see above

are you the owner of this forum and you decide who should stay or should leave?

you know all those times people say if you don't like someones posts the just ignore or don't get involved etc? well it's like that....if you don't like ClOD or 1C or MG etc then just stay away and don't get involved.....non?

Hi.

In an attempt to tidy up and collate your posts regarding "when the next patch is due" and other wonderful requests and ideas, I will move them into here.

It would be nice if you could make your postings in here so they are easier to find and read, and save me having to drag them over.

Have fun !!
