You might not fall into the exact definition of "fanboi", so what would you call somebody that tries to silence any negative discussion of your beloved (unplayable) sim? When you come into the Crystal Ball thread that was created for "general moaning and complaints" by the mods and then say "one can either post and prove to be a bit dense, or one can refrain from posting and stay in the shadow of doubt." What are you hoping to accomplish? I live in a Democratic country so I guess I'm spoiled with the ability read positive and negative views on products, politicians, etc. I don't know where everyone is from but maybe their desire to have only positive views be heard is a reflection on where they live. |
So let me get this straight, your only allowed to post in this thread if your Crystal ball shows only gloom and doom.

Thanks - talk about burying a post!

I don't expect it until after Easter, more holidays coming up.
Then Im off to Playa De Carmen. So I hope there a patch by the time I come back end of April. |
Can someone explain what "IL-2 in the real engine" means please. Thx
|
I can almost hear the dev team singing "We gotta patch it up baby before we fall apart at the scenes" :-P

I don't expect a patch this Friday, or next Friday, or the one after that or that or that etc................

Nobody ever denied the faults of CloD, Robtek is spot on here. Repeating them ad nauseum, however, won't make them a) go away, b) improve moods and game expirience, c) give us a/the patch any faster. These points have been made to death and it speaks volumes about the actual whiners that they have to be repeated yet again. It's like a constant "Are we there yet? I need to pee! He put chewing gum in my hair!". Fast forward another year, it still is "Are we there yet? I need to pee! He put chewing gum in my hair!" Your argument is not improved by dissing other's writing style. |

Easter is important for orthodox religion and sure will be holidays. Also expect some time off when the Great Patriotic War celebration comes too etc. But these guys can use time off too like everyone of us. |

>>Ppl read what they want to read, obviously.<< Not always. Sure, some people can be selective. >>Nobody ever denied the faults of CloD, Robtek is spot on here.<< Yes they have, in extremis. Including the devs themselves for a long time, by side-stepping the obvious. Only when the outcry reached sufficient size did they do a u-turn. denying the faults can take many forms, from ignoring what you dont want to hear, to attacking posters who make valid critcism. It happens a lot. >>Repeating them ad nauseum, however, won't make them a) go away, b) improve moods and game expirience, c) give us a/the patch any faster.<< The 'mood' is determined by many things. Lack of straight-talking and fawning doesn't help. The repetition is boundless on both sides. >>These points have been made to death and it speaks volumes about the actual whiners that they have to be repeated yet again. << So, then, your post, is what exactly? Whining about whining about whining about whining...ad nauseam. >>Your argument is not improved by dissing other's writing style. << I'm not making a fancier point. The wiriting style, as elsewhere in life, betrays the post and the poster. It tends to make a rather nasty stain. An 'argument' is not the aim. The aim is to point-out the nastiness-masquerading-as-moral-high-ground-patience-of-a-saint rhetoric of some fairly nasty and dowdy posters. Add that to a fawning acceptance of the situation - and worse, a tacit approval of the sequel - and you have unreality gone mad. What's more, such nasty posters tend to go for posters who are not as adept with the language (perhaps English isn't their first language). I can't stand them, any of them. *That* sets the mood. About time they had some of 'dem apples' back. Ben |

At any rate, when I peer into my Crystal Ball, I see one problem. They keep referring to BoM as a sequel, which to me means they're going to charge full game price. If bom includes only new models and a new map, this is in fact not a sequel but an expansion. Charging $50 for models and a map is exactly what Call of Duty does, and I don't like the sound of that. Has there been any previous facts given on this by 1C? |

Paying 50$ for a sequel / add-on / expansion / stand alone / whatever is really dirt cheap regarding what one is getting for that money.
Everybody has seen now the quality of the models and the landscape, compare that to any other Flight-sim and then compare the pricing! |

I'm still waiting to see what I'm getting for the $50 dollars I paid for COD. It hasn't been worth it yet IMO. Models and landscape are great but I'm hoping they have some sort immersion as a pilot. |

Its all about value. The question is whether or not you believe the product is worth $50, not whether or not you can afford it. |
As i had ove 500 hours fun with this game, it was well worth the 70 Euro i've paid for it.
But then, not everybody is able or willing to make the best out of a given situation. Regarding the number of posters in this forum i`d say the majority is able to get enough fun out of CoD to refrain from lamenting, the rest is answering or attacking my pov / posts. |

I'm assuming you would bracket yourself and the other pro-Clod elements as also happening to be those who are willing to make the best of a given situation, no?

And adopting a more conciliatory tone when it suits you. I still think the devs need a better idea of the enormity of the omissions and glaring faults, and a farbetter sense of priority (or the publishers do, or whatever). More targetted criticism is needed, not less. And to do this means cutting throug the tripe of critic-baiting, of which you are as guilty as several others. Whethe rit's rose-tinted optimism, forgetfulness, or plain servility, or just the good old sprt of critic-baiting...none of it matters. What matters is the game is delivered remotely as promised. perhaps just a sense of accountability. Very ho-hum pics of a sequel at this stage? Really? Ben |

I'm glad you can enjoy using your imagination to where you have AI that is serviceable, radio commands, etc. and fill in all the other gaping holes in game. Most of us don't take up residence in fantasyland however, so we are stuck here in reality. There is some comic relief however from the faithful folks that just "can't believe" that everyone can't use there imaginations as they do, and imagine it was worth $50. Keep em' coming Ace and robtek, laughter is the best medicine at this point so I look forward to your next attack on people and their lack of imagination. |
This is a sad, sad thread.
It does nothing to advance the completeion of the sim to the level we all want it to be at. It reminds me of the guy who hits himself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when he stops doing it, only you guys never stop beating each other's heads in. I know for a fact that many of you are well ovet 40 years old, and are intelligent, responsible adults. Why act like 14 year old playground ruffians in here? Why? |

I'm personally enjoying CoD, but in a narrower gaming envelope than Il2:1946. Less planes, less maps, less missions, lower planes ceiling, less online time (also because of CTD), no offline at all. This narrowness is partially compensated by the great graphics and DM.
Everyone is right in this kind of debates, in a sense: fun is there, but tempered with the remaining bugs and the current state of development. Someone emphasizes the bugs, someone else emphasizes the fun. Both are there, definitely. |

"Just about everyone agrees the sim is fundamentaly broken" So what sense is there in repeating the obvious all over again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and so on.

In short you are saying that developement continues only because of the whining, thats as cross as a tail wagging the dog. And that you dont seem to understand that any developement for the "sequel" is also a developement for CoD as they are using the same engine is really sad. And finally, the more positive posters were only reacting to the overboarding whining in the beginning, now its a self runner. :D Just to have a positive ending. :D :D :D |
There is a serious side to it, or there could be.
If you can clear all the batlefield smoke and mist out of the way (ridiculous optimism, blind faith, mis-reading the past, Tarot-cards for the future) then you could have a ground-swell of sensible opinion which the devs could actually find useful and instructive, or at least worth taking note of. It may even influence certain priorities and directions. As it is you have a foxhunt with the rosier-cheeked members sat on high horses blowing their trumpets, ta-da, while encouraging the dogs on the ground to go after any fox that dares criticise. And throwing smoke-bombs to obfuscate as much as they can. I particularly enjoy the standard line 'but we know it's broken, we knew all along, you dont need to keep saying'. As far as i can tell it is mostly spoken by those who argued bitterly with any early problem-raising, ignored the defects, assailed anyone who asked for missing features, and generally let a few months go by before quietly sneaking in the odd tacit admission all was not bright and rosy. Then crossed their arms and looked all smug. Hmm. Never mind those who spend 1000s upgrading base don the those 'certain certainties'. This is why the more idiot elements need reigning in, or at least countering. I have no problem with anyone liking the game for what it is. But could be, and will be? Or is that 'should have been'?

In my opinion you should have been banned many months ago, for one insidious jibe after another, steadily maintained, with the occasional outburst of really low, dowdy, spiteful obnoxiousness. I could quote, but it would some time to gather all the available evidence. A few days in fact. I have no respect, or even sneaking respect for you, or the people like you. But you are probably aware of that. Good. |

There is a vast majority of folks that have simply shelved COD and moved on to other things while quietly waiting for COD to be fixed. If they find out that that $50 bill collecting dust on their shelf is going to cost another $50 to be patched properly, they probably will lose interest completely, and not purchase the sequel. I don't want that to happen. |

I also think (hopeful) that 1C sees it the same way. They know that despite the whining, there has been a lot of support too. Even the most ardent whiners are fans who expected something better and are disappointed. Releasing the corrections and features independant of CoD (or even only dovetailed into CoD with purchase of BoM) will lead to an even greater loss of faith in the company. It would be suicide IMO. |
That's the deal i think, but hope not.
People moaned when we saw the tanks and AA guns that it would slow down development of the other important features like FM, AI, DM, FSAA, COOPS, CEM for CLOD, but we were told that "dont worry its only a couple of guys and the rest of the team would be working hard on other fixes for CLOD at the same time". Now when we ask if we will get other fixes in the patch, were told the graphics rewrite patch is holding things up and we will have to wait for other patches to fix these features (again complete guesswork) Now we see the development of BOM is moving along nicely with changes to the graphics engine being seen and changes to the AI, all at the same time as the patch is being worked on. The team has had getting on for half a year to fix the problems of CLOD. No excuses this time. |
Quote:
|
Carguy, in the 6 months since the last patch the development team must of made progress in the other features,FM, AI and the rest, in fact we have had no AI update since last June.
If they are not just working on BOM then 6 months is enough time to fix some of the more pressing problems for CLOD. |
