Did you even read one of the sentences i (or @Smoothy) wrote ?
This is exactly what you do
Sorry, but as long as you don’t even “respond” to things others said and only “pray phrases” there is no possibility for “constructive discussion”.
See here’s the problem you can’t accept. Let my try to explain this one last time …
- I’m (and most others) “waiting” since 2014 (just let me state this because you seem to think we are “brand new”)
- The game was delayed multiple times (often without any information)
- There are no “concrete” roadmaps anymore (neither for features nor for release - this is a deterioration compared with the beginning [Oort Online])
- There is no “active” player base anymore (in the past there have been a lot more active users)
- No one is “forcing” or “pushing” - but “negative” statements might try to point on problems (i can only speak for myself)
- Few “updates” and “delayed updates” are nearly always a bad sign (especially in software development).
- It’s not the first time that players “demand” more updates or more information (you might have missed this in the past). [For me. updates are also DETAILED devlog posts about gameplay aspects - don’t get me wrong here]
- Even if EA is not an actuall “purchas” of a final product and even if there is a chance that requirements change, there should be an active communication and there should be more information (e.g. design devlogs, more frequent updates).
- It’s often said “there is a big update in the pipeline” it’s often only “gossip” (this might sound rude [sorry], i don’t know the english word for my thoughts). You might like this GIF - even if it’s only fun it describes the situation.
Maybe you should read again through this topic and a few current similar topic (here and here).
There are a lot of good reasons why there should be more updates and why the current “dev strategy” is most likely leading on a doomed path.
I really hope this game is doing well but the current signs are “bad”
Let me close this post with a question …
Imagine if you’re building your house and the building company delays every deadline they put up in the past (without informing you about why and when your hous will be ready) and they even changing the size and appearance of every room you had planned with your architect (again without letting you really know why) would you accapt this and say “just wait - I have had accapted the risk when i assigned the building contract” ?
I’m quite sure you’d ask them after the second delay at the very latest, too. This is not pushing nor is it “not accepting” this concept (taking the risk things become other than expected) this topic (updates) is a lot about information and trust formation. Every missed deadline and every not explained feature undermines the players trust and diminishes the future success.
FYI: You can “edit” your prior posts. “Spamming” 4 new posts in a row is “bad style” in most forums / community boards.
