PC Definitely unstable stable.

[Thorne]

Nothing Jaded about my post.
I meant it when I said the OP may want to wait a month before playing again.

By then many of the current issues will have been addressed.

Also your comment about Stable being rushed..... yeah of course it was.

It's Christmas.

TFP worked hard, released something for us to play with over the holidays, and then took a break.

What's wrong with that?

What I find insulting is a post like yours with claims you're older and jaded bull**** bothers you less and yet that jaded stuff perfectly describes your own comment.

Wasn't addressing your reply beyond the first paragraph... But in answer to your question about TFP, the problem with that is that they, like many other companies, constantly shoot themselves in the foot by failing to proactively, and visibly communicate their intentions ahead of potentially controversial actions that cannot be properly understood, by people not thinking the same thoughts as them, without added context. I'd feel bad if any company worked through a holiday. And yes I was saying that I am jaded. Crack open a dictionary... kid.

As a person who's got a Masters Degree in Business majoring in Advertising and Marketing and who's also been in business for himself for more than a quarter century....

I can say with relative confidence you are right on!!!

It's NEVER a good idea to over estimate your delivery dates.

Always better to underestimate and then surprise the customer by exceeding their expectations.

Also your comment illustrates a lack of proper communication as to the direction and purpose of the alterations/additions we're seeing coming from TFP.

I completely agree with you.

I've seen stuff like this even in multi-billion dollar corporations at times.

They can be great at what they do, even provide an excellent product, but [like you say] shoot themselves in the foot over and over by communicating with the customers poorly.

I'm one of the most patient customers TFP are going to have.... and even I've been annoyed a little at some of the things they've put forth.

Yeah I hear ya man!

Whats my alternative? That's pretty simple, how hard would it have been for Joel to come on the forums and post something such as this....

Except only a small percentaje of players use the forums.

Anyway, such a message would have been good yes. I myself played the first a17 release knowing it would soon be wiped, and after that I just tested things without wanting to invest time again until a stable version. But this "stable" version has made me start a new game, thinking it would take a while for a new version. But Im not even sure bc of the lack of info.

Isn't that coming back though?[Once they fix the bugs, that is.]

Probably, you could say the same about stability. Trouble is that devs are always quick to remove something cool, but slow to put it back in if they want to come up with a better solution for it, that is. Once it's gone, there's no saying when it will be back, or if it ever will be back at all.

I may have to Mod this in then.

I like Traders selling stuff like that.

So long as the price makes it available mid-late game only , I'm fine with it.

I just don't want an OP Tool/Weapon early on.

That just ruins everything.

I wish we could go back to the version before 238 it was more stable.

I agree. If they had of just taken that build and fixed the vehicle headlights and trader Jens voice, I think more people would be happy. As it is, I am doing major edits and mods just to get a decent working map.
