Give us a road map. The whole soon Tm thing was cute for the first year. But we are loosing people left and right its time to get rid of the whole soon excuse and talk with us please! How long for new maps. How long for proper PC? How long for hit detection to be fixed?

We are not being entitled its the reality of market. If u can't keep up u need to gtfo. That's just the way it is. It might have worked for eve due to lack of compation but Dust514 has to fight with gaming worlds heavyweights and right now even as a free to play. People would rather pay 30 40 quid and play that instead.
Tbh I'm nearly done with free to play. I would rather fork over cash and know I was getting a good game. And not a tech demo |

Where is this place called "long"? Is that some kind of benchmark til today? I am confused... Now that I'm done shaming your grammar. They confirmed the roadmap, why are you saying that we need one? |

CCP will do it if/when they feel like it.
They could just take you money and end the Dust 514 service and take it to PC.
Because if we stop spending money on this game as a player base we do have a say. And what it says is this game s not worth spending money on anytime SOON! |

Because Gamers plays Games...is that simple... that is why you have "Open Betas", so companies can collect Gamers feedback. For a Game to be successful, people have to PLAY that game.. Free To Play or not.
Will be a Hollow victory for CCP, if they end up with a Game that no one plays ... even if they do it for no profit, or as a hobby, or as a side project from EvE.. Their reputation will be damage for ever, and their credibility as a gaming company destroy. |

I am sorry but developers don't want to give you features that are half done.
They also cannot update every day as desired so things have to be deployed a chunk at a time due to sony requirements. This is one requirement they cannot circumvent and also they cannot alleviate even if they go to another platform as PS4 likely still requires it, and as long as dust 514 is on a console platform going to pc is not going to fix this issue either because you cannot have two separate clients with features on one missing on the other.
There is also internal testing that has to happen, things get real screwy if you deploy them without seeing what they do to the field. |

Wow just wow denial much or just a fan boy?
This stuff should have been fixed a darn year ago, before beta was over! This is a commercial release and hit detection is junk. There is no player market there is no connection to eve. There is no communication to when any of this is coming and soon is just slap to the face that means maybe in a few years time this stuff will be fixed.....maybe

Now this is compete BS. If this was even remotely a problem then CCP has a day at which they can release and would have back logged patches and features they could tell us about.
In other words they could tell us what we are getting when.
We are not told when and barely told what.
You are making this BS up. |

Are you Insane?
CCP actually stated in the last 2 fanfest that they "created systems to put in place" meaning they were half done placeholders awaiting further tweeking/reworking in which they have been doin in the last few builds. Reworking and tweeking systems is what there doing.
So how can you say the game isn't half baked while the systems are getting reworked constantly? They even said the driving modules were "Not good" and were planning to rework soonGäó.
Seriously WTF are you smokin? |

I've just finished watching the CCP Video from E3, and it seems like CCP's idea of SoonGäó is a decade. The way they where going on about the first and second decade was quite disheartening. I think SoonGäó in Dust 514 could be a way of saying another decade latter. WTF

I get some of this same non-comprehension from management at work. I'm in the computing field and people think creating something new and complex is like filling in boxes in a spreadsheet.
Sorry, creativity takes time. Inspiration as to strike. You try out the idea. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. It's not like you can draw a straight line on a calendar and simply declare when new capabilities will be done and worthy of release.
Some of you need to grow up and develop some patience. The world moves at the pace it does... no matter how fast you want it to go. |

I also work in the real world and if I told my home buyers that their house would be built soon and not give them a reasonable date for completion guess how long I would stay in business?
If ccp wants to be artists wait for inspiration to strike then they have no business realising this game.
For a business to stay in business they most definetly have to work on a timeline. I want this game to succeed the truth is its loosing die hard players that have been here since the beginning. I was buying a merc back every few weeks, now I don't care
Look at major corps walking away from PC , look at the forums people are highly dissapointed with the non existent timeline and failed promises and patronizing. SOON BS. |

Custom software development is not simply an exercise of spending time at the keyboard. No amount of whining and complaining will accomplish anything -- except make sure that CCP never bothers to provide us with estimates. |

Well I am not trying to sell myself a completed game of next decade; today.
The studio itself is self developing and learning its own lessons while still managing to deliver new aspects of the game to you guys as early as feasibly possible. Sometimes the early as possible gets in the way again in the future when they have to redesign it. The studio will get better at content delivery, content generation, and feature planning. This is not a well versed studio making this game and they're experiencing just as much growing pains as the game itself is. This is not Dice or Zipper or SOE the maker of dozens of games, this is a studio that has only 2 games made in the past one of which is a board game. This specific studio is a whole mash bag of different developers from different backgrounds and the game on current engine is not that very old overall. Yes Dust 514 has been in the works for for years but most of it has been theory testing and crafting. Things like 'can we really shoot a planet from eve and it translates into another game?'
CCP is trying to not create a massive 'technical' debt with current ingame features. There is already a massive 'development wishlist debt' still unpaid off and there is no need to increase that much further than necessary.
There are quite a few features that unfortunately throwing more developers at is not going to get them done quicker either, for example you only need one guy to manage the balancing, having 3 guys in charge results in far worse balance table as they all go different directions. There are also features they do need more devs in but only have so many experienced in that area that they cannot do everything at once. For example the guy in charge of Factional Warfare, is also in charge of planetary conquest, is also in charge of player to player interactivity. He has to manage his projects carefully in a manner that works best with all the other teams he works with and he does a crap ton of theory crafting on his end on how players would play out in the board game. He's a nice guy to talk to nonetheless as long as you don't steal his shoes.
Unfortunately Soon(tm) is the only answer any developer can give you when the feature they're working on is not yet done or tested yet.
While I have a very good idea what the game is going to look like 10 years from now, I cannot tell you which of those features you are going to to get in what order.
And those I see coming up in the next few months I am not allowed to tell you guys anything about those until a dev spills the beans. There should be a new dev blog and podcast on the horizon though involving 1.2 Uprising. |

Crash monster, if CCP doesn't start releasing estimates, the community will leave. If CCP wants us to putting money back in their pockets, they need to produce more. I know I won't give CCP anything until they shape up. I am not alone in that. Many of the people who regularly purchased aurum have ceased since Uprising stand up the place.
If CCP chooses to keep us in the dark, the can enjoy reduced revenues because of it. |

I don't think it matters what CCP does. Even if they ask us what we want, as they do, they get a 50-50 split that has half the community blaming the other for the ills of the world and then threatening to walk.
Trust me, if CCP could deliver every desired feature and fix every flaw tomorrow, I'm sure they would.
CCP knows, I assume as I'm not privy to any inside details, what they want to build. They have put some quantity of developers into the mix, and they are working on things.
They had our help testing it but they don't owe us anything. We didn't end up part owners though there is obviously a lot of emotional investment from some folks who must have found out they aren't all that special -- they are just players like everyone else -- now that the game is no longer in beta.
I don't care if you do or don't spend money on things. Nobody is twisting your arm or forcing you to do so. Again, nobody owes us anything... we are free to play, or not, just as we are free to pay, or not. Perhaps people can just make their choice without all the threats and whining?
I won't hold my breath. |

Some of you need to grow up and develop some patience. The world moves at the pace it does... no matter how fast you want it to go.
We have been more than patient...the problem lies with the lack of communication. The vague, non-factual reply from CPM is proof of this. Patience only goes so far and can be tolerated so much when, as a fan base, we are left out of the loop (what little fan base Dust 514 has already without issues like this turning more and more players away every day). Me? I'll remain patient...Dust 514 is a good game, and it has the potential of being a great game, but I somehow feel I'm patiently awaiting the release of PS2 and Destiny on PS4 rather than the devs to pull this game up to even par. I speak for a lot of people when I say we're still gonna play, and wait, and play, and wait some more, but If CCP doesn't get with the program, I'm gone when the PS4 drops those titles. I mean come on...how hard is it to give us a roadmap of where Dust is going? It leads me to believe there isn't one, and the half-a$$ replies by CPMs and DEVs all over this forum support this theory. |

I don't think the CPM is meant for information to travel from CCP to us... it's more to help get information from us to CCP. For some reason they seem to catch hell for a lot that really has nothing to do with them.
There are all kinds of known destinations on the roadmap... such as a player market, full racial suits, more weapons, some type of PVE, bigger maps with more concurrent players, and so on. The time frame... I've never seen one.
As I said on another thread... I still have fun. If that stops I'll take a break. It's that simple. |

I don't know... since I am in the software industry I think I have more validity than a group of whiny teens who feel entitled to something and whine constantly about it.
More seriously, you really think you can argue with the "if you don't have fun take a break" concept? |

Bluntly I agree with this 100%.
Lots of people seem to complain that "the CPM never tells us anything".
Guess what folks? They CAN'T. I don't mean they don't want to, I mean they have signed NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements), with CCP. This is standard practice before ANY software company will show you things they haven't released to the public (all of us), and is necessary for the CPM to be able to comment on the features and help provide feedback.
Until and unless CCP releases information to the public, either through a press release, or a dev talking about it, the CPM can't say squat, even if they know the feature is about to be released tomorrow. |

Correct, because of the NDA there are things the CPM has seen but cannot share yet.
There are some things though that we the CPM are expressing with CCP about things that are easy 'wins' with information that should reach you guys in various forms such as dev blogs and the sorts. One Dev blog is coming really soon featuring some neat things in 1.2. While CCP is still building up the studio the CPM is trying to help involve CCP into communications more when its reasonable, feasible, healthy, and most importantly useful.
Telling us about destroyer HAVs and Bomber Dropships don't really help you guys that much. Getting them to tell you about the design goals behind the new plates, and the stats associated with them and asking for early feedback is much better use of CCP's communication routes. But thats the difference between marketing, directors, and developers.
Because I have had plenty of chances to talk to CCP I can understand why some processes are taking longer than you guys are expecting. For example did you know they had to REDO every map for Uprising? Even though the maps themselves did not change they had to redo the terrain because the older maps were not future proofed and had to be rebuilt for the newer tech in its uses.
There also been things on the road map CCP has put together that had to be scrapped because the realization of the tech is not feasible. Some things are on wishlist because they is no clear plan on reaching those goals and the things that are on the roadmap have prerequisites to be built beforehand.
Dust 514 was once upon a time on a roadmap itself, Eve Online Planetary Action Phase 3. That was listed 10 years ago.
Phase 1 Flying over planets (scrapped) Phase 2 Building Colonies (Currently Planetary Interaction) Phase 3 Ground level combat (Work in progresses)
So in technicality Dust 514 development is about 11 years old just the tech for its possibility has been built backbone wise and its slowly growing into its own. |

Then don't try to sell me on the devs not wanting to communicate with us. When Dust 514 released, and especially after Uprising, it still felt like it was in it's beta stages. The devs should WANT to keep us in the loop, not necessarily about new content...we can all wait for that...but about more important issues like glitches and weapons being ridiculously UP now (the MD for example). The whole purpose behind closed/open betas are to fix bugs and get feedback from players. They chose to release a title to the public that was not complete and then they hide behind their NDA's so they don't have to apologize for releasing a patch that was inferior to the original release. New content and when it's coming out is not the issue here. Maybe a roadmap is just not in CCPs best interest. Sure, the CPMs might know something but can't say. I totally understand and respect that, but when it comes to actual game mechanics, the devs should be more up front with what they are doing about it. I didn't mean the CPMs should inform us if future patch contents, but I believe they should inform us of fixes that are or are not in progress. It would seriously cut down on a lot of threads like this. |

CCP will do it if/when they feel like it.
They could just take you money and end the Dust 514 service and take it to PC. http://www.planetside2.com/roadmapGod we are so entitled. It's not like other f2p FPS mmos do what the OP is saying for. CCP just really know how to run a game community, ima right? 75% of that road map was trashed in favor for MLG design.
Ok, 1st of all, no. Those are all still being planned.... it's not july/agust/September yet... What you are talking about is how many of those features were panned for 3-9 months ago, but were pushed back due to MLG. However, no one got super mad, they were happy that the company was being transparent about what was going on.
You are trying to argue that because they didn't do every single feature they allowed for community feedback on, they shouldn't of told the community their plans AT ALL. When the whole dust cmmunity is raging to get told whats ging on, even if features get canned or delays. Becuase we want to see whats happening, and we want to give some *****ING FEEDBACK before they shove it into the game without testing it.
Also the 25% of features that did make it in made it in based on what the players voted highest on the list. People were like, yeah, ok, you can take away and delay 75% of the content you planned on and gave us dates, just hey, thanks for letting us have a say on what 25% got to stay in.
You're a joke and I look forward to crushing you at reelection.
the Scout LAV was released with no requests, no timeline, no preview, no feedback. AND IT SUCKS. dust is digging it's own grave vote me for me, vote for a shovel.
WOW, a CPM member basically saying "Transparency is bad"
You make me sick.
Seriously, not even a day of beta testing for Planetary conquest? I MEAN REALLY?
PS2 didn't just trash the plan without telling the community. I love when CCP chooses to cancel content the day before launch with zero headups. Oh yeah, I love being treated that way. |

Because 2 months od roadmaps is not unreasonable. AT ALL. In fact by staying to nothing they promise, CCP has most likely thrown away like 70% of the work they have done. What a waste. And to think this year their new corporate slogan is "focus"
FOCUS, Riiiiiiiight. The only way they can't give us a 2 month roadmap would be because they don't even know what they will be working on in a month. It shows us they have no plan and don't want any player feedback.
If the next july update comes out without a single step to get playerfeed back on the features and changes before patch day, people are going to leave this game in droves. Not because it's bad, but because there is no investment in the customer base. |

Maybe the dust community needs to realize that they aren't on the inside any more. They are not beta testers and they aren't going to have the same relationship with CCP that they used to.
I don't intend any insult... but things have moved past that stage now (whether or not you or I think it should have). This is CCP's baby, not ours, let go of it.

1st off we got 6 months of black out during beta that ended with a release that we had no idea about. So yeah, NO **** THAT.
2nd, PS2, guildwars2, WoW, Starcraft2, Eve online, all keep their customers in the loop after beta. with advanced warning 1-2 months in advanced in order to take in player feedback.
And finally, you sound like someone with an abusive relationship.

The butthurt is strong in this one. Yeah that's the point. Good job , now try keeping up. unlike most people I've been here for 9 years I'm not going anywhere until everyone else leaves. I'll spend every last moment trying to make dust a game people will continue to play.
What's your plan.
You sound just like people who were saying "Oh people shouldn't be mad that incarna is a single Minmatar room in every racial station, people are sooooo butt hurt"

Actually, like any other form of art and entertainment, once it's released it becomes the public's baby. Sure CCP pioneered the idea and made it happen, but we are the blood that keeps it this baby alive.

If anything normally a BETA has less player input because development can change directions in a moment. Once it's released player feedback and communication increase....

LOL, have you guys listened to yourselves.
You think CCP has to touch base with you on everything? Sure, it would be nice, but they don't have to do jack ****. I don't care if CCP ever tells me they are releasing patches or not.
The game will change. I'll adapt. If I get pissed I'll leave instead of throwing ***** all about the forum like a primate.
When you get to the point that you think YOUR comments and advice are the only thing that can save CCP you are very ****ing deluded.
Me, I know I'm nobody. I'm playing the game because the current issues don't stop me from having fun. Well, when the server is up anyway.
Yes, I'm also aware of all the "customer is always right" and "listen to the customer" baloney. This is CCP. I expect they'll tough it out while you cryhards empty your bowels here daily... put out new content and fix glitches and things over time... and many of us will be happy to play even if the game doesn't get your certificate of approval.
Hey, I just figured why some of the cryhards don't leave... their egos are so inflated they can't get out the door. |

So yeah, I have come to expect CCP to touch base with it's customers in order to improve the game and get player feedback before a feature is release.
In fact, you can even play the new Eve Online expansion on the test server over 1-2 months before an expansion hits.

Sorry, creativity takes time. Inspiration has to strike. You try out the idea. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. It's not like you can draw a straight line on a calendar and simply declare when new capabilities will be done and worthy of release. People make estimates for a reason...
Some of you need to grow up and develop some patience. The world moves at the pace it does... no matter how fast you want it to go.
We had patience in beta and told them of issues bugs balance and nothing got fixed , the inspiration you talk about takes longer than 6 years to come to fruition ?
CCp were told in beta the game was just not good enough or ready with features missing and we were told it would all be sorted "SOON"
But they released any way and now you have this situation were players are wondering where most of the basic stuff is and what is there dosnt work,
Communication would go some way to alleviate some of the discord that is present on the forums but since day 1 this has been one of the worst games I have ever been involved in testing and through it's so called release for the devs to pass on information
To be quite honest I think the task is beyond CCP and I think it's time they though about out sourcing most of the work to an indie dev (thats if any would touch this mediocre product) and let them help to try to sort out dust. |

Unfortunately Soon(tm) is the only answer any developer can give you when the feature they're working on is not yet done or tested yet.
While I have a very good idea what the game is going to look like 10 years from now, I cannot tell you which of those features you are going to to get in what order.
Well that's a pretty big problem. How big an issue can it be for us to get a project prioritisation map? There is a difference between "Soon" and a reasonably elastic project map with reasonably accurate approximations. It doesn't have to be perfect but it does need to be truthful.
I know a lot of people here want all sorts of things added to the game but I can wait for that stuff, I really can. I don't care if it takes another year to get bombers or PVE or whatever into the game.
However, if 1.2 doesn't fix basic primary problems with the mechanics of gunplay and movement and matchmaking I'm gone. There is no point spending 1 more second of my free entertainment time (let alone $'s) on the game instead of the other 20 FPSs sitting on my shelf or Steam Library.
Now, for each person, the list of whatever burns them is different so we REALLY REALLY need a roadmap of prioritised issues so each person can decide, based on what is important to him, whether he stays or goes. If I need to afk for 6 months before the issues I hate get resolved, I want to know now and I can save CCP and Sony some bandwith and myself some time and frustration. |

I wish there was some kind of information they can give us but at the same time....CPMs can't.
As he said in his post, he signed an NDA, he cannot give any information regarding issues unless a DEV speaks of it or permission (if that's how it goes). Though I am sure he is willing to do it, but does not want to breach that contract, and get in serious trouble.
And I am not a software developer of any kind, just a gamer. But I have a lot of tech friends and some family members who work in these kinds of fields (you don't have to believe me if you don't want to, people say these things) and from my experience, there is no simplicity in the field, nor remotely any leeway. Either do it perfectly as meant to be, or you screw up, and possibly have to do it all over. It is a very tedious and annoying job to deal with. So i am sure DEVs are having a painstakingly hard time dealing with these matters as Iron Wolf Saber described, they are also relatively new to these things as well, and I am just happy they are at least still dishing out information here and there and giving updates every few months, because I know the issues and the insides on what happens in companies, and there is intel that is best left inside the company offices.
If you read my topic yesterday, you would know that I personally believe that due to the constant banter on CCP to their job in the comunnity's manner and not their own manner, most likely leaves them distraught on even responding to us, due to not feeling welcome at all. I understand this though, that some have been here for a year on end, even two years. But CCP is notorious for being slow developers that do not rush (you should hear about Iceland, people have a lot of breaks there from their jobs). They tend to do things on their own time, which is time consuming, but if I have to compare to EVE with its constant bantering, poor reviews, and horrible content, and still made a comeback with being a victorious MMO. Again this just me personally as to why CCP may not like commentating, because of the harsh demeanor some players put out, which I could see that they do love the game and want it to genuinely grow fast as other developers are working on next-gen games, But putting hate is not going to speed up the process.
I am no "fan boy" at all either, just a casual gamer who likes to play games, and I like this game so I play it. I am satisfied that they bothered to put up Uprising. With all of the negativity, they could have just done absolutely nothing and left it in chromosome, which would have led to lost of investments and angry players, including waste of content and precious needed time. so asking with all politeness and good heart as I am, to just relax. things are not that bad, could have been worse than you imagine, and be happy that they did listen to players, even though not to your liking, I mean hey FoxFour is talking about improving PC on his post and things about MD; he responded as needed.
Though things are slow, things are getting done without responses, and here I rest.

Seeing EVE's dev blogs just shows how much effort is going into this game right now. Dust 514 feels like a hobby and a commercial for EVE Online at best. They said they wanted as much EVE and Dust involvement as possible, reneged on that by adding the warbarge in PC and saying that they want Dust both games to stand on their own, but the truth is Dust can't even stand on its own two legs without EVE or anything to make it an actual MMO. I looked at Destiny and even FFXIV and looked at Dust, asking myself "What the hell is MMO about this game?" All we have now is a lobby shooter with a current build that failed to please both player bases that never left beta. We need PVE and some degree of EVE involvement that goes both ways. We needed this in beta and not having it really shows the blaring weakness of Dust that can't be fixed by improving hit detection and aiming. |

No more soon excuses please!
And just how long have you been playing for bud??? As for myself ive been playing since july of LAST YEAR...... do you understand what 11 months of "soon" feels like?? not good, but im not presumptuous enough to go on the forums and call CCP out on disrespecting the community!! this build is ONE MONTH OLD, STFU, HTFU and wait for the next build to come out.

They could just take you money and end the Dust 514 service and take it to PC. Hah! If Dust 514 moved to PC, it really would die. Hackers would have a field day just like any other F2P game before it. I think punk buster still exsists?

Not just right now, they have mountains of dev blogs right after release in 2003!. The game was very rough and they wanted to make people keep playing despite the current state of the game by pulling more people into the communication. Didn't even have a CSM/CPM back then!

People would rather pay 30 40 quid and play that instead.
Tbh I'm nearly done with free to play. I would rather fork over cash and know I was getting a good game. And not a tech demo Which game releases content updates after month and a half after the release? |

A dev told me and several other weapon users that they won't be fixing a glitch in our weapon until the next major update. That's not a small thing in a FPS, especially when you need to grind for a month or more worth of SP to invest into a game mechanic only to find out about the bug since it wasn't in the patch notes. F2P or not, that's pretty messed up. I shouldn't have to GTFO until the next update, I should be able to have fun now without a bug limiting my combat effectiveness... again, in a FPS that I had to find out about on a forum, not to mention in the wrong topic since it wasn't specified on the patch notes. Defend that.

Check fist, post later. They've added alot of items from their roadmap. But most importantly, they DO have a roadmap. Dust devs constantly boast about 5 or 10 or whatever plan, but can't give us info about content patch that rolls out in few weeks. Players gotta pause camp e3 vid in order to get any info. And all we get is a soon, which became the most ******* annoying word I know |

When you get to the point that you think YOUR comments and advice are the only thing that can save CCP you are very ****ing deluded.
Me, I know I'm nobody. I'm playing the game because the current issues don't stop me from having fun. Well, when the server is up anyway.
Yes, I'm also aware of all the "customer is always right" and "listen to the customer" baloney. This is CCP. I expect they'll tough it out while you cryhards empty your bowels here daily... put out new content and fix glitches and things over time... and many of us will be happy to play even if the game doesn't get your certificate of approval.
Hey, I just figured why some of the cryhards don't leave... their egos are so inflated they can't get out the door.
Legitimate question to you.
How do you make this game fun? Iv plated since closed beta and i was never able to get into the "I cant wait to play this game at the end of the day" cycle.
I still stalk the forums from time to time to see whats going on. As I said befor, what makes this game fun for you?
Id like to know so I could try it too.

Honest answer. I don't have a lot of things I can pull out of a hat. There is the usual host of things that people want... improved game play mechanics, content, maps, etc.
However, two things that probably won't sound like much that I can also suggest:
- When fixing balance issues figure out ways to do so that don't introduce a big painful negative. People feel negatives, losses, twice as acutely as a a gain. An example I can explain is the "quick scope" problem for sniper rifles. Now, every time you scope the rifle fights you by turning in some random pattern until it quiets down. It's silly. Why not just go for the future high tech solution and suggest the range/power combo requires warm-up and that before warm up there will be a dispersion effect that settles down as the rifle warms. Hey, no fighting the rifle, no need to lose your aim all the time, and no need to worry about "quick scope" problems. Is that more fun... not sure, but it represents a fix philosophy that might end up with better game feel over time -- as adding fun impacting concepts to achieve balance is a process that can go a long way.
- I don't play the game for SP or ISK. I play a battle at a time and try to do the best I can each battle. While I still manage to cap out most weeks -- I am having fun. The people that complain about not having fun often seem to be the ones that talk about grinding, falling behind, losing something if they don't cap out, all that kind of thing. You don't have to end up with as much SP as another to max out a role and be effective. You can enjoy the journey and not just the destination. Maybe a bit metaphysical but just simply allow yourself to enjoy the things that do work and not let the problems hide those things.
I see the problems, I'm impacted by the problems, I hope they fix the problems, but I'm still able to have fun. |

This. Too many bratty gamers. It's a free game that has constantly changed since it's first build. Knowing and accepting that is the first part of the enlightenment.
Gamers just complain...that's all they ever know how to do. Meanwhile, they don't understand the impact it has on the relationship between dev and end user. There's a way to say it without sounding like you still cry when you don't get your Teddy Grahams |

Funny and sharp, the dev blogs are just stringing us along with more soon promises. We need more info on what is actually coming next patch. This hype of this and that is just more carrots for the stick. Dangling is not fun. |
