Why so little interaction with the community?

so in the last 2 months we have had 2 more patches and several appearances by luthier indicating progress (as well as semi-regular appearances from black6 with bits of news, err yes some a bit cryptic i grant that, but indicating communication nevertheless) and that he will try and answer questions, and all you can do is still focus on the negative ?

right now things are looking pretty good

why not go and test the latest patch and try and come up with some positive and negative elements, might be a bit more productive me thinks (presuming you are here because you are interested in getting a good ww2 aircraft simulator)

That's exactly what I'm asking of Ace to do before he steps up to the podium and starts his patch praising spewage before he even knows how it works.

I will test it when I get home but in reading the patch notes I don't see anything about radio commands, AI, campaign fixes or anything else that helps us strictly offline players....you know, about 50% of the customers that bought COD. Unless these things were addressed and not put in the patch notes, I have no reason to be optimistic since the game ran pretty smooth on my system before.

i already see several positives, they did further work on the allied FM errors (with specific reference t the data provided by sean), and mention netcode improvements

personally i am hoping they also addressed the reversed controls and some of the gauge errors

if you cant see that complaining before its even tested to see whats fixed is somewhat irrational and defeatist, there isnt really anything more to say to you

Actully I think they did! Luither talked about fixing the Spit Hurri throttle vs mixture thingie

Cripes...I said offline fixes. I will be happy for the online airquake guys if their issues get resolved but COD will still be a coaster until the offline stuff is fixed for offline folks.

now if only 'some' of the offline types had an offline forum!

It's a shame that members are perfectly happy that half of the customer base is ignored especially when Oleg openly stated that the majority of his sales comes from offline play. I thought you wanted COD to survive? If all the offline people that bought COD didn't buy the next sequel, COD will be dead in the water.

Tell me the one again about Luither only poking his head into this forum once every six months and how that is proof of 'poor customer relations'

All the while ignoring the fact that Luither hired BS to pass along his comments to the community..

And how that is not misleading the viewers of this forum just to keep your agenda alive..

Toooo Funny!
