I agree with you, in general. Where we might disagree is the timing. Until the code base is stable and all basic issues functional, I can't see where a whole lot of interaction is productive at this point.

I'm sure you remember the initial state of ROF. Long lists of "I want" + "It would be good to have" necessarily came as a lower priority to stable code - stable functions - functional online (even if it was Coop only).

Again, this is what many people said at this timepoint in RoF development/release. In fact, many people used the term "Alpha" then, applied in the same negative context.

The CoD that I have on my system, is light years ahead of where we started with RoF. Don't you think?

the code base is stable IMHO, they're just tweaking things, not re-coding.
Besides I wouldn't have released it if there were stability issues, I would have done just like RoF did, announcing a beta subscription, where I subcribed, signed a non-disclosure contract, received the link for the beta and contributed in the forum. THAT is the way to do it.

funnily enough I gave up once the game was released, I had other impending priorities, but I suppose it's common to any game really.

Well I remember the beta to be extremely stable, at least on my machine, and yes, there were issues here and there, but i remember one of the devs actively interacting with the lot of us that had actual flying experience, a mutually interesting interaction if I may add.

I believe that what has been sold is actually on par with the RoF beta (apart for the sounds, really unforgivable, and the aura of mystery around it is even more appalling). But above all I remember the devs SHARING issues and problems, so that people wouldn't be left wondering wtf was going on.

Maddox Games and Luthier have still a lot to learn in terms of development, despite the years of experience. They have so many examples out there, but at this stage I wonder whether they feel too superior or they're simply not able to interact fruitfully with the community..

I think a lot of people (like myself) got tired of the negative attitudes, that seemed to be flooding the forums. I remember, waaay back when "IL2 Sturmovik" first came out, the forums where flooded by a "different" kind of negative attitude...and I stayed away for a little while, til things calmed down.

Though the effect is the same, IMHO currently most people have turned their backs on this forum and just come back sporadicly for the rare news shared with us for a different reason.

With little information and the status of the game, there is not much room for anything to discuss here, other than discussing discussions and raaaids neverending sandbox-wisdoms.

Exactly. But that will be changing Luthier said, a spokesman will represent their team, and after the upcoming patch we will see increased activity again.

As said,nothing to discuss.Its broken,most people have realised that,and have gone away for a while in the hope that,when they return things will be better,and CoD will finally be what it promised to be.
