eeeh ... i think there are some "missinformations" here.
please poeple. As mentioned in the begining. This was a question from me to the devs, to get a statement and informations. Try to keep it without the "killing" sarcasm and insults if possible. I dont want to have this closed only cause some feel insulted by something they of course could wrap over or leave at it is.
for the missinformation! I never have told something that i have a "plan" to give my game back or something similar like that. I just asked, no i demanded "further" informations. What the hell is wrong with that ?
I never bashed the deves or the game as completly worthless. Nor did i complained about that this game is impossible to be played, as sadly many other games out of the market, but i also just avoid these games. Period!
It is sad that some here seem to take this all like a "attack" against the whole community or the developers. It is yet, if it might sound arrogant or not, just a few question. Please, particularly to murphy, worluk stop making this a private flame-war here, i think everyone, particularly the dvelopers of this game can very well defend there self or of course just ignore the whole thing.
And iIt is not the qustion what kind of support the developers offer or not! I just ask, what the "exact" problem is, why the armor works not, like described on the box (simulation level). Bugs never can be avoided, like there will never be a perfect prodcuct, but why is it here for the "costumer" somewhat magicaly forbiden to ask where the problem exactly is? If i am a modder, programmer or just stupid hill-billy of costumer doesnt matter here. Also i will not go in to fights about "costumer" and "seller" rights as iam not used with US rights! But iam used cause of my eduction in GERMAN ones. And they alow me to ask. I really dont understand why some people take that as some kind of heavy attack, like the invasion in poland or something ...
It was/is a budget title and it cost no more than 29.99?/$.
I don't know how many budget games you have played in your life, but that statement of yours leads me to belief that it weren't that many.
Its not like we paid 200 bucks for a simulation and now it doesn't work.
We paid 29.99 ?/$ for a budget game and we got support for both players, modders and mappers that other game-companies don't even dream of.
We got patches that delivered much much more than most patches for full-prized games and last but not least we got a game that is more realistic than almost any other multiplayer-shooter out there.
Complaining about the lack of support is just ridiculous.
Of course. Youre very right, the developers of this game provide, compared to many, yet more expensive and worst games a better support and politic about information. Also they are a lot closer to the community and their opinions. But thats why i thought i could try to demand information.
1. Cause its my right (in germany) as costumer. Period. Regardles how crappy other prodcuts of the same kind are. If i buy a car from Ferrari and it doesnt drive as fast as like promised, it doesnt mean i could not ask for the reason only cause it still drives faster or better then a VW - Golf or soapbox.
2. Cause i trust the devs much enough, to be that fair and honest, to give a serious answer on a serious question. They are great guys, angels in the game industry that will let us arise our sense and give us the best honey (game) we can eat! (sarcasm off). Still just hoped, exactly BECAUSE they keep such a good support compared to other games, that they will also answer on yet just a simple question.
Is, that the armor works how it does right now a limitation from the engine? Or a vey complicated to fix thing? (and if yes, please some roughly explanation about WHY exactly).
and we should not forget, that the "but its more accurate then Battlefield/CS" argument doesnt work here really as these games never claimed for their self any historical accuracy. From BF and CS i know what i have and yes i play with some friends CS:S sometimes and enjoy the game very much with them. I dont care about that my Assault rifle looses his accuracy after 50cm. But if there would be glitches in CSS, like lags, bugs etc. that can give players a advantage over me, (like a panther that is not able to penetrate a perfect angled IS2 no matter of what distance!) then, yes, that would be a reason for me to demand support in that direction and to feel frustrated!
Places like Wall mart if you want and the gaming industry ARE in there politic (sell and forget) that way only cause the costumer alows them to be treated that way! This is not particularly aimend as a shot again Tripwire as we all know that they are compared to EA games and Valve (steam) angles. This meant in general. I can only say, if i would ever have the luck to get a own company, i hope all my costumers will be like some here. Seriously, they will take care about that my business never goes down.
Dont get me wrong people! I like this game also and i also want this game to be the best it can be. But that means as well, that we should not let get the "EA-games" mindset inside here. Tripwire is a compnay that can do it far better then many other "more" professional organisation out there.
