what else ?

[Wolf_Rider]

for all those promising to not purchase the next release... how come you're still here?
for all those whining about no news, etc... how come you're all still here?

you want to make an effective statement... resign the board, let them see you mean business instead of just continually whinging. (ie vote with your feet)

Well, ill just say this for the folks that don't venture into other realms of gaming: what we're going through with patches, bugs, and delays is on par with what every other developer is going through. Blizzard is the most recent one that pops into my mind, as they're cutting announced features long after starting pre-orders just months before release. Every developer has these same issues. I'm not giving any opinions on whether that's right or wrong, just stating facts.

Now, what annoys me is that the company has lashed out at its entire customer base by withholding information specifically because they felt slighted by a small percentage of their customers. This is not the way a professional (individual or corporation) should conduct themselves.

That being said, I can understand their reaction. These are real people, they do have feelings, and after spending as much time creating a product as they have I can sympathize with them not wanting to share anything until it is 100% fact.

Or that any of the ground targets are the 1C offices?

Seems a better idea to me than sitting around here creating thread after thread of moaning.

I fly around chasing fake dots for an hour then my game crashes before i can find anything to shoot.

I doubt that the developers are holding much information back because they are pissed at a few people. They have said they are still working on the performance patch which doesn't lend itself to screenshots so they told us they were working on the FM and Performance patch and released some screenshots showing some of the work they are doing on vehicles. People looked at the pretty pictures, didn't bother reading the text, and assumed that the combat flight sim was dead, and they were making a tank sim. lol

As far as the performance patch goes, having an update once and awhile saying they are still working on it, is good enough for me. I don't need to be told weekly, as I can remember what they said on the last update. They will either release the patch or fail and it won't take a week for the sukhoi.ru forums to find out that the development has shutdown.

Some of us don't share your preferences. Some of us prefer immersive offline campaigns or coop online missions. Some of us are deeply disappointed with the state of the sim almost 12 months after release. I'm happy for everyone enjoying CloD, but I'd appreciate when in return there was some understanding that there are indeed reasonable complaints.

Clearly you've never played on the ATAG server; I fly mostly bombers in an attempt to take out objectives in our objective-based missions. I'm an average fighter pilot at best and prefer to stay away from enemy fighters since I'm usually level bombing in a HE-111, dive bombing in a Stuka or low level bombing in a Bf-110. My joy comes from working with my teammates towards destroying an objective target, not downing a fighter.
