No one said anything about wanting stuff for free. We're talking about reasonable things here. In other words, moderation. In the middle. Not polar opposites like "charity." Likewise, "business" means product sustainment, not cash-grabbing. you can't help but feel like there is some money grab going on... Your words not mine. As for the cash grabbing by DCS, I'm very sorry but I do not get that impression with them. If you want to see what real money grabbing looks like, check War Thunder forums.

Do you even pay attention to who you're replying to? I never said that. That was a different user. It's hard having rational debates on this topic because it's littered with straw men fallacies and ad hominems typically claiming that expecting product sustainment is "entitlement" when it's a basic duty of the business to maintain paid products. Especially when precedent for abandoment has been set with the Yak-52, which is reaching Hawk level abondonware. Yet the Hawk was the only module pulled from the store.

Devil 505 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Jesus Christ there a bunch of school girls on this thread complaining. So far we have had the new cloud system pushed out this year, the Hind, the Mossie, a slew of updates to the F-18 and F-16, along with the progress and updates on the Apache. To insinuate these gents are not getting updates out to your speed or time frame is an insult to the hard work they do on a daily basis for us. Everyone wants everything now, get that, but its not like they have not been transparent with the community. Photos and info have been provided in videos and updates. The one thing a handful of you on here need to practice is patience. This boils down to things are not going your way so lets get on the forum and kick the hornets nest. Go enjoy what is already out and the rest will be here soon. It not like the SC is not functional and fun to use in its current state.

Notice how none of these are the Supercarrier, so not sure what the relevance here is? And no, good progress and hard work on modules that aren't the supercarrier, don't suddenly mean that complaints about progress on the supercarrier get negated or aren't warranted. ED and the developers absolutely deserve tonnes of praise for the hard work they put in, and they deserve criticism and complaint when things don't turn out so well.

I don't know about you, but I doubt people waiting 16 months so far for some of these features (even basic ones like light wands, corrected callsigns, as well as the tower, LSO and marshall being on different frequencies etc) have a problem with being patient... So far, in that time, we've had some optimisations (essentially an adjusted LOD) for the personell, and the IFLOLS indicator can now be turned off. We've had some WIP shots and 3D models (which are fantastic) of the hangar and briefing room, but these are arguably secondary features. 23 hours ago, Devil 505 said: This boils down to things are not going your way so lets get on the forum and kick the hornets nest.

Jafergon Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) I totally agree, 16 months without any siginificant additions ( other than some animation and rigging tweaks for characters and CVN75 model variation) is a bit too much. Maybe some easy wins like night wands or something similar would have made the wait easier... I can't think of any other module that after release didn't receive any new content in 16 months...

Nope, I am not a pussy. I enjoy what I have and wait for updates because me getting on here and getting frustrated with the Devs moves progress no faster than it is right now. If they were running silent and not saying anything, I would simply ask for a status update. The problem is, when the Devs give people an answer, it never satisfies everyone's frustration which leads to a slew of more comments and opinions that rarely have any thought put into them. I am not suggesting constructive criticism is not needed for the devs, or the customer should not speak up about issues with a module. What is not needed is smart ass remarks back to the devs when they actually take the time to get on this forum and converse with their customers.

It would appear you did not continue to read after the fact. Yes and your post was overblown, inaccurate and no one even remotely said or acted in a manner which you described. Also, last time I checked the actual developers are in fact not reading the forums, let alone the english section. All people were asking for was a Wags style "mini-update" on what is currently being worked on and when the laundry list of advertised features can be expected to be fulfilled. Only getting the same answer for over a year of "the team is working on it" or "ready room and hangar are being worked on" - while people in here were asking for compelely different features which are much more relevant to flight ops and base functionality. Imagine you send in your car to the shop to be tuned and fitted with a new sound system, you then call them up to ask how said things are going and they start talking about LED lights and new tires. Clearly we aren't on the same page here. I personally bought the Super Carrier module after seeing the relatively short "during EA" laundry list of features and thinking "surely this EA period will be short as there isn't a whole lot left to finish after initial release". Clearly I was wrong. Edited September 28, 2021 by Airhunter 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
