No, I would like the same contact with the devs that we had before the release, with regular updates.

Next to ROF check the Bohemia Interactive Studios Forums. (Armed Assault & Operation Arrowhead) Also a niche product but they have lots of "community managers / moderators" in close touch with the developers, and they have a special "ArmA2 & OA beta patch testing section". Believe it or not, in this section you are directly in touch with the game developers ! EVERYBODY is invited to report bugs and make suggestions to improve the game. Confirmed bugs or usefull suggestions will be contemporary implemented in beta patches. As a matter of fact EVERYBODY is also invited to test, comment and improve.

The Armed Assault series was buggy as hell in the begining. This close contact to the community and the excellent bug tracking and improve system is a win/win for devolpers and community. Both benefit tremendously and in result the Armed Assult series became the best military simulation on the planet.

That's the only way out, the rest is IMAO patchwork and therefore bullshit.

What's the y-axis on the graph?

Y=amount of people playing the game at the same time

That's online only. Who knows, there could be hundreds of thousand people enjoying the singleplayer campaign over and over again.

That's before you start getting addicted to the super intuitive quick mission builder.

Thanks, didn't show up on my phone browser. The graph can't be right anyway if that's the case. No simultaneous players in July and August? I know that is not correct.

Regardless, the point is true. Numbers seem pretty bad...

The zero level likely denotes the periods when the game was not in the top 100. Steam only releases stats for top 100 games.

i dont need such potemkin villages anymore. Let them work. let them release their betas and Steam patches. That is the best they can do IMO.

Most Bugs are reported, even several times, and i speak only about this forum here. Imagine the russian spoken forums !
So, our 'work' is done.

The reason for this forum is mainly about to help eachother because of the lack of documantation of the game.
