Indeed so it seems they can't take a negative comment; as it might hurt their feelings, yet they brought it all upon themselves and blame the community for the poor state of the product. As if they don't even care about it anymore and don't want to continue, well I say go right ahead! Don't release a beta patch, don't release a sequel, how about they just cancel the series entirely?

If I haven't missed a beat in the past year on this series then what is their to miss when it is cancelled entirely? It's almost like the devs deny they are in this terrible situation, holding the persistent belief that their product is actually good. I think they call that Insanity -

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

It is sad that Blacksix appears to cop all the flak, when it is entirely not his fault and the developer in charge is just as decieving to him as he is us. B6 is a victim of all of this, imo, if the devs have nothing more to say then what purpose does B6 serve anymore?

Pehaps this will explain why no Friday update.

Seems we have errors on both sides.

Whiners driving the devs crazy . . . . . . . and the dev spoksperson not providing the information that the consumer is asking for.

It is nice to know what is happening regarding the next series . . . . . but the priority of concentration right now is for some information on the status of the patch. Not all the details, not necessarily when, but just how the progress is going.

We have a very good community base that is very interested in how work is progressing. Regrettably, not everyone is skilled in communications.

S!

Have to say that he is right... Dubai is UTC +4h!! ;)

Wow you live in Dubai ? I bet its nice there , must visit it some time .

It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, it an argument that can't be won. What matters is the size the argument has become. It's time for management to step up and put the community at ease.
I brought COD on release date for $105 Australian in good faith. If this mess is cleaned up I will buy BOM at release. If no I'll wait for the bargain bin price of $50 or less. A lose of over 50%.
There are so many bugs right now that a small patch each weak is not a big ask.

There is no such thing as a "small" patch. No matter what size it is, it still requires weeks, if not months of testing. Just changing one thing can have many unforeseen effects in other areas, so beta testing by a fairly large number of players, with different rigs and play styles is absolutely necessary.

Or perhaps you would prefer they just toss out "fixes" with no testing as it would give people more to argue and whine about?

Bull

Wow.

That is incredibly condescending.

Well, if that's true, then some of us can just stop supporting their product ;) Don't they realize the door swings both ways, and as mentioned earlier, no one "needs" their product, however, I dare say they do like their paychecks. Seriously, if you wanted to restore some confidence in the BOM add on and have people really excited about it, you would THINK you would release a patch that would solve graphical and other issues. This would SURELY induce more people to trust the BOM and buy it, I would, however, I won't buy it until and WHEN I know that the graphic problems, dust/clouds/particle effects are fixed, the CTD is fixed, etc. I could go on, but it seems what's the point.

Took the words right out of my mouth, and I'll tell you what, reading that little tidbit really left a sour taste. Don't expect my preorder or purchase until you straighten up the state of the game, period. Negative mood? This game has been out if not a year, well approaching a year. Most games I've played have had their issues worked out well before a year. I starting to think they don't know how to fix it, or don't have the ability to do so. Pure speculation, but this kind of attitude does nothing to build confidence in the product, and has created the "negative mood".
