Squad Leader Archive

I believe Vemnox posted the 5 to the corr forum but not here. I could be wrong. Maybe it was rolled into his state of the profession report.

the bottom line is our profession is too broken for a top five list, we need a complete revamp and nothing less

i'll tell you why youre profession wont get fixed. because you cant come up with a single problem. all you guys ever say is "its broken". well guess what, thats not going to help the devs. you guys know, as well as I do, that this game is basically still in development. that means you need to help the devs. give them specific issues on what needs to be fixed. give them tips. dont just say "its broken"

note: i'm not saying that its not broken because I know it is. just try to be a little more helpful on this situation or youre just going to be playing a broken profession longer.

I don't care if they have their cat walk across the keyboard in the program file. Drop all the issues in a hat and pick five. Anything is good.

dude, we have been talking about whats broken, how to fix it, and all the other problems for the path three month and you know what? NOTHING HAS CHANGED! so all we can say now its, "yep still broken"

all of our ideas on how to fix this profession is well documented in the three correspondent reports that have still gone unanswered, so if you dont think we have come up with any problems then you need to wise up and get with the program

I must agree with OmegusNeo on this one. If you look at some of the posts by our beloved Captain, you'll see that there are several reports that have been sent to the DEV's. All well written, and explain in great setain with our issues are. Don't come trollig our board and tell us that we don't know what the problems are. We have written MANY posts expalining our issues. Either take the time to read them, or shut up. Ignorance will be ignored around here in a hurry.

and explain in great detail what our issures are. Sorry for the typo

I read thru the report that was stickied, and didnt see any top five issues i saw lots of issues and some suggestions, maybe they are in the first one or the second one?Maybe Im going senine and babbling on about something that doesent exist"the top five list",is that what the developers asked for? If thats what they want us to do then we should do it nothing more nothing less.It sucks thatthe developers didnt respond to thething that you first sent them, butI thinkwe should keep on doing what they ask and hope that they do get to iteventually, better later than never.

what else IS there to say?
go down the list then alright:
steadyaim is broken
volleyfire is useless
retreat kills the user and lasts 10 seconds (ill hold them off!! [yeah with 1 action and mind youll hold them off])
ormup actually isnt broken along with /sysgroup and the terrain thing
boost moral just gets ppl POed at you ummmmm did i miss anything?

Hey now we have a top five thats stickied, thats all that i really wanted in the first place. And theres even a big red name beside the post even better, to bad he had to ask for it.

He didn't have to ask, he had to look, at the 50,000 threads about what's wrong with this profession. That's all, there's only been like 3 Reports, and dozens of posts. not that I'm saying he's lazy, I know TH is a busy guy, but how many thread titles do you hve to go through to see a complaint thread?

I posted the "Squad Leader Report #3" both here and on the correspondent forums at the same time. I was reluctant to do so, but I basically was told "no fixed w/o another report," so I did yet another one. TH replied to that thread stating he still wanted just a Top 5. I attempted to explain to him there isn't a "Top 5," there is more like a "Top ThisWholeFreakingClassIsBrokePleaseFixIt." He still insisted on a Top 5, so I said to just take the top 5 bullets of the report and we'll work our way down the list. Again, he insisted on a written out Top 5, so I copy and pasted the Top 5 bullets and said "let's start from there." If it was up to ME, they would just take the report, but they were adamant about getting just 5 things to work with...

you know....I'm REALLY starting to not like the DEV team for this game.

Well, you have to realize that TH is not a dev, nor does he really represent them. He's like the guy from Office Space, Tom Smykowski.



[Scene: Initech. Bob Slydell and Bob Porter are interviewing Tom.]

Bob Slydell: So what you do is you take the specifications from the customers and you bring them down to the software engineers?

Tom: That, that’s right.

Bob Porter: Well, then I gotta ask, then why can’t the customers just take the specifications directly to the software people, huh?

Tom: Well, uh, uh, uh, because, uh, engineers are not good at dealing with customers.

Bob Slydell: You physically take the specs from the customer?

Tom: Well, no, my, my secretary does that, or, or the fax.

Bob Slydell: Ah.

Bob Porter: Then you must physically bring them to the software people.

Tom: Well...no. Yeah, I mean, sometimes.

Bob Slydell: Well, what would you say you do here?

Tom: Well, look, I already told you. I deal with the **** customers so the engineers don’t have to!! I have people skills!! I am good at dealing with people!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!!!!!!
