Could we get a list? - Launch - Update 1 - Week after update 1 - Update 2 - Hotifx 1 of Update 2 That's five, what ones am I missing?
Several individual liestreams in between the updates where they mentioned either "tomorrow" or "next week" which came and went.
Lets all be honest No matter what they do we will find something to girpe about, no matter what they say we will say they failed their promise regardless of what they actually say, If they release things we will say its not every thing that needs to be if they dont release things we will say they failed to deliver again! Left= Shit storm, Right= shit strom, up= shit storm, down = shit storm, soon= whine and gripe, now = whine and gripe Etc at this point its just better to chill and if they get shit done then good if not then just business as normal. They will fail countless times and we will complain rightly so countless times
I'm with Vinicius on this and not just because he's from my guild. Setting a deadline is a big commitment in any form of business. You don't run a business and tell your customers a deadline for completion only to miss it repeatedly. It ruins a companies image over time. I do like BeHavior and the developers on a fanboy level but its really hard to take them seriously as professional game developers. Some reasons why. 1. Consistent and almost ironic deadlines that are missed every time It's become an expectation that deadlines are missed. Rather than listening to what the devs say, I actually created my own timeline of when stuff with be completed based on their development patterns. ( it is way more reliable IMO) 2. Quality of content typically feels lacking in some way or form Often when content is developed, its usually not a completed version of it. Core content is created, then redone, then remodeled, then redone again. That is typically because the first time through it wasn't polished nearly enough to be deemed complete. 3. When developers acknowledge negative feedback its typically done satirically This one really bugs me. If your gonna take the time to address concerns or negative feedback do not make a joke out of it. Do not act blameless or perfect. If its something that is in no way constructive, then don't address it. If it is negative feedback that your receiving over and over don't laugh over it. State your plan of action and how you plan to address the issue. If you are receiving lots of mixed or negative feelings regarding EC's state, then your customers are hinting to you that something is wrong. 4. A lack of commitment to long-term planning or a sense of direction We've had many state of the crusades posted, but very few of them actually represent the direction EC is going in. At this point I will not expect EC to be ever any different than it is right now. It will have more visual customization and weapons and elite classes. But the core game play has been unchanged since the Alpha servers first launched. The game feels like it has no long term goals anymore. "add one thing at a time and we'll see where we end up in a few years" is the current motto. The problem with this is that the game's development seems to lack direction. Systems are created only to conflict with other game systems. Only to be redesigned later on to become slightly less conflicting. Going back to the main point. Missing deadlines repeatedly is a big issue. I wish I could do something to help BeHavior get organized, but its been a long term realization that developers will do things their way and at the pace they want to go.
Not for long. Only until RTC rewards will end. Now you see me, now you don't. I can. But my comments always getting removed for calling people exactly who they are.
What about another option? Starting to work hard and starting to deliver what was promissed - no more shitstorms. How about that?
Meh @ Campaigns. They'll be in when their in. Did they take away the Heresy from one of the LSM Veteran helms? (one of the less beaky ones) it had glowing purple eyes. Although cool, I don't think it's codex compliant. . . lol.
