I agree with Calc on this one. Frankly I rather wait a year for changes then have our board resemble the BH or (shudder) the Jedi board. The BH board actually has Garvas rules and regulations STICKIED. That is a big yellow caution sign for me - you do not want to go there.

The only time I ever click on the flame posts is when I am in a grumpy mood and want to yell at someone lol. Ya, I know. Not helping.

Otherwise I just ignore them. I wish there was a button I could press to make them dissapear for my screen so there is more room for the interesting/informational posts.

Umm it has beena year. Game came out a year ago June 26th, and the last time we got any attention and was dropped without completing it or even a goodby, was Aug. Nearly a year from now.

Semantics! I meant ANOTHER year! My God, has it really been almost a year since we got areatrack and camo? I hadn't realized those were in August... it all just blurs together!

I dunno, I have seen threads exactly like this (why do u hate us devs?) on almost every forum. Especially recently. You should see what the Entertainers are saying lol. No matter which forum I see them on they seem silly and childish.

HOWEVER I also have seen a depressing amount of attention given to professions that whine loudly. I considered this back around Christmas (I forget what whiners were getting attention then), but came to the conclusion that the people who were whining would never be satified. As soon as what they were whining about was fixed they would whine about something else. Whining had become such a habit for them that they had lost the ability to enjoy the game for what it was. No matter how much attention they received they would never regain this. I REALLY don't want to be that person. But that is off subject.

I agree that we are allowed to express our frustrations. I've done this quite a few times in my own rambling and incoherent fashion. But do you really think Why Do U Hate Us Devs? posts are the answer? Honestly.

Ok, it seems that the comments are a bit polarized on this issue, which is natural:

1. Lemonade camp: make the best of current situation, wait for the eventual improvements to come to our neck of the woods. Be positive and constructive because it will be more productive in the end.

2. "Rangers Liberation Army" (RLA) camp: use the forums as a tool to try and get the devs to speed up or at least schedule improvements, NOW. If it annoys the devs, that means it is working.

People are falling into different camps because of differences in character, experience and circumstance, and not because one of them is right and the other one wrong.

I believe that it is actually better for all of us if we use both approaches at the same time, in other words, to form both a "political" and a "military" arm. The political arm is already in being with Calc as the leader. The military arm needs to organize itself, and decide on the ends and means. I would do this if I wasn't so lazy .

I'm good at bomb throwing, I can take the RLA, unless JB wants it

I say we need more updates from the correspondantand a clear state of the profession, this way there can be no questions.

And if there isn't anything to update?

IN the meantime, all of the great thoughts and ideas for the future should be consolodated, documented organized and ready for the dev's the day they come askin for our feedback.

I agree with that

Oh calc what exectly does a correspondant do? i know you communicate and stuff but do you get any extra bits and features? Ive never thought to ask

• Well, I post stuff that pisses off the forum members.


• I get a little bit of info(but not all) prior to you guys getting it.


• I send many e-mails to the secret TH account. This is probably the most important thing.


• I get to ask direct questions to TH and usually get an answer, but I get a lot of non-disclosable answers.


• I get to visit the correspondent forum where TH posts a lot of stuff and the devs themselves post occasionally. They certainly do read it, even if they don't post.


• I listen to the Ents talk about hotpants.


• I try to keep y'all happy, but see my first comment.

Now, Calc, of course most of info is classified.

But, people, pay attention to what posts Calc starts and to accents in posts he makes. That may give some hints.Now I see a whole new meaningin "The Offensive Ranger" post. It might as well be devs seeking input while Calc presents it asjust a spontaneous curiosity
