Ripley Riley 654	Posted - 2014.02.26 16:37:00 - [2] - Quote CCP Logibro wrote: There will be dev blogs in time, but please don't spam the forums with topics asking for them. We know you want them, we want to give you them, but we don't want to give them to you until they're done and ready. Can we at least know what they will be about? Pleeease?

Ripley Riley 655	Posted - 2014.02.26 16:48:00 - [3] - Quote Maken Tosch wrote: And this is why the vast majority of developers don't seem to interact very often with their communities. The communities are full of assholes. I hate it when people that pay me money have reasonable expectations of me too. "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley
Ripley Riley 657	Posted - 2014.02.26 16:58:00 - [4] - Quote Maken Tosch wrote: You don't get it. You have a right to complain, but there is a fine line between filing a complaint and just outright bothering the devs. What the OP suggests is bothering the devs when clearly they already know what we want. When customers are upset they complain. When they are very upset they will complain louder or stop giving their business to the company in question. I'll leave it up to CCP: would you like the players to be loud and demanding or would you like us to disappear? "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley
Ripley Riley 659	Posted - 2014.02.26 17:01:00 - [5] - Quote Meeko Fent wrote: You CHOOSE to pay them money. This game was COMPLETELY FREE, unless you really wanted to pay them. I have paid them. If they want continued business: see the post you replied to. Maken Tosch wrote: Overall, I'm just glad that the Dust community isn't as bad as the Call of Duty community. I remember reading the news some time ago in which one of the devs for CoD changed the stats on one of the tactical rifles for rebalancing purposes but then later on his Twitter account was bombarded by a massive flood of angry players actually threatening the poor man's life and family with ** and murder. It was all over ***** Twitter. That is insane... let's all take a moment to be glad we aren't CoD players. "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley

Ripley Riley 662	Posted - 2014.02.26 17:13:00 - [7] - Quote Maken Tosch wrote: I look at it this way... For every second a dev has to take their time to respond to a repeat thread (this is a repeat thread btw) of the same topic that was addressed already by another dev not too long ago, is every second not spent working on game to improve it or at least every second not spent putting together the dev blog. If you want the Dev Blog out sooner rather than later, then please stop bothering the devs over it and let them finish it. You aren't entirely untrue, but I submit a rebuttal: If I told my customers that I will have something done soon(TM). That I will be updating them, but I will not be telling them WHEN I will be updating them. Well, I'd be written up (or fired if this was a reoccurring problem) and I'd have no idea to blame but myself. "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley
Ripley Riley 662	Posted - 2014.02.26 17:18:00 - [8] - Quote Maken Tosch wrote: Assuming that's company policy. But this is CCP we're talking here. Saying "Soon" IS THEIR COMPANY POLICY! Not seeing your point on this one. They can continue to develop on their timelines (Soon(TM)), but we need to be updated more often if they are going to take their sweet time. If a project takes three months you don't just leave your customers in the dark during that time. That's a ****** policy, I don't care what your company policies might have been until now.

Ripley Riley 663	Posted - 2014.02.26 17:21:00 - [9] - Quote Meeko Fent wrote: Ah, so your opinion is worth more then mine because money? Technically, from a business POV, yes. A paying customer is more valuable than a customer that isn't paying. As a business owner, I would pay closer attention to the person shelling out $20/month than the person paying me $0/month.

The customer would be upset, yes. Build risk buffers into your project plan. Parts might be late? Add two days. Mechanical failure? Add a week. If you deliver earlier than the projected date no one will be upset. (This is project planning 101, by the way) RailTank QQ wrote: Also, Shanghai is still just horribly understaffed for what they need to do : / Agreed. They need more staff. "I need not food nor water.

I can't speak for the entire community, but development time isn't my concern. It's not being told jack **** for weeks (months) at a time while being asked to spend AUR on boosters.
