The Crystal Ball

[Skoshi Tiger]

If a developer fixes a bug in Russia, but they don't post an update, will it still appear in the next patch?

as long the russian and the 'rest of the world' version are compatible online.....make a guess !

Is really difficult to me to understand the "let them work" thesis.
First they are not doing a good job, and I'm not talking about the programming and developing (also if seeing the game it could be simple), I'm talking about interacting with the community.
We have tons and tons of developer that have blogs, active forum life and advertizing during the developing and during the improving. Only talking about flight simulators see Rof and Xplane 10.

Seriously, are you really thinking that to post some news and interact a bit with the community once a week would damage their work?

See, as all the people here (and are day by day fewer), i'm a fan, and i'm the first that wants to let them work properly, but they are doing it wrong! The interaction with the community now is an important part of the job.
And what about the future? The Mods are the future, they say that they want to regulate them, but if they care about the mods with the same "generosity"...

And I don't buy this 'I would rather they were working on the game than posting' or 'they are far to busy to post on the forums' because this post took me 30 seconds, and thats all it would take them.

I feel your pain.

They could even lie to and make up some stories, yet ppl would feel treated with a certain kind of respect and live under the impression there is some progress and devs are working.
I always had the impression Oleg is a brilliant visionary but a miserable manager.
Now Ilya takes over, he seems to be much better in this field, but in turn he's a lousy salesman. kinda funny, no?

What's ASAP for you? Do you want them to release more buggy stuff ASAP so people can whine more or actually fix it with the resources they have available ASAP? If you're going to make threats about not buying another game from them lets at least have a proper timescale

You think he'd be allowed to post it? I'm not so sure.

ASAP in reasonable time ofcourse....lets say in few months (from now on), if this game isnt finished and properly optimised...then its gonna be an epic failure....for me at least

Oleg's last posts were in June, afaik.

We should do a collective letter to the publisher to investigate on this poor service which we get! It should not be up to us to chase updates, patches or developments !
