Gripe all you want but Roland has actually been very lenient in his mods. I read all those posts you are mad about disappearing and they were all page long gripe sessions about other players, the forum mods, and/or TFP. Then maybe one line with a legitimate question. If I were a moderator I'd probably have gotten sick of it all and just banned you by this point. Just for the peace and quiet until the next "gate" hits the forums.

Of course I probably would have banned myself at the end of the last craft-gate frenzy so I'm glad he is as forgiving as he is.

 
Lol it was light hearted humour.

Chill the ♥♥♥♥ out mate.

On a more serious note though, censorship is a dangerous thing, denying yourself and others the right to read something and being offended on their behalf, really does smell like 1984..

Your post's are in offtopic.

Your unconstructive criticism has to share space with 724hptpa game development chatter.

If everyone on the team agrees we will let you in on early build if your hardware can handle it.

 
Just curious, is it possible for modders to insert artwork into the game for the purpose of painted blocks?

I saw that texture packs in minecraft allow for new player designed blocks. Any hope of that here?

If NPC related quests were in the KS then it probably will be in the static map at least.
Maybe a RNG map for NPC quests is possible. Have some sectioning of every map (if the player wants quests) in several patterns even, so each section can have all the buildings needed for that areas quests.

Certainly every trader can have an independent set of quests that don't deal with factions. Traders just want to make money and want more people in their area for the most part.

A DLC would be fine by me. More money = more content. Paradox games uses that formula and it works well enough.

Yeah until Paradox decided to increase the price of ~10 year old games in certain parts of the world ('to compensate for buying power'). The backlash from that made them rethink their DLC-pricing policy I guess. Still one of the best game developers out there though.

 
On a more serious note; what's the status on the bread-crumb system? Since it was announced (I believe) 2-3 alpha's ago, and we haven't heard anything more substantial on that front.

 
breadcrumbs went stale and were shipped off to KFC...... Zombie breadcrumbs are one of the 11 secret herbs and spices....lol

Just took a break from a Hearts of Iron 4 game as Soviet Union. The AI is poor, the end game scoring is broken but if you take on the whole world, its OK. :) Mods are what makes their games great.

Edit: and this applies to A17 because... of DLC's helping dev make better games over time! Yeah.

Hi Toad, just want to thank you for the nice comment in Are We There Yet Daddy. The thread was closed & I could not respond there & it was closed under some pretense of Release Date Harassment. I didn't quite get that as we are in between Alphas again with no pending major updates that are even close to being released. I just want a Stable A 16 like they promised & move on to A 17 Experimental. I remember why & when they stopped giving release dates & will gladly give you the history but maybe its time they stop promising too.

Yeah. You know the frustrating thing 'piggio, that not only you and I have brought up legitimate points, but others have too.

Some people are hypersensitive to any request directed towards The Pimps and its almost like they just love the torturous wait.

The responses arent productive in the slightest and the rollback takes you into previous development, each build with its own respective problems.

I completely get your point too regarding being stuck between a rock and a hard place. You hit the nail right on the head.

The only thing I can see is the infinite spawn and the game stopping map corruption being the only real standout problems preventing us getting to stable, aside the other bugs that were reported long ago.

Yet, as you quite correctly point out here we are jousting with each other in this thread with only a handful of official updates, some decent feedback from *some* posters, and the rest - just insanity.

There is some terrible offence taken somehow for making a simple inquiry. These bugs have been the reason both me and a friend havent been able to play for so long.

Whats the big deal with even giving a progress update on how far along they got with the bugs.

As much as TFP are ok in their ways for the most part. They have done a great job so far, but they also get away with some shoddy behaviour like other companies.

If everyone on the forum or at least the majority were kicking off and demanding progress on the bug updates im pretty sure they would respond.

But this is where the other players come in. When you have some malitia that immediately jump on and close down any dialogue with false reports or trolling or whatever other tactics they employ, TFP will never need to address this.

They would rather just keep communication to a minimum and thats fine for the most part but when it comes to giving simple updates regarding bug fix progress they dont even need to do that, they already have a number of people beating down those with questions.

I, like you, would love to enjoy a stable build of Alpha 16. But this silence from the devs just has to make you question, whats really going on behind the scenes.

I also already said that this thread should have either been entirely cleared out, or renamed the Alpha 17 Speculation/ Update thread.

Undoubtedly ill get more crap for this post being too long or for 'picking on the pimps' or some other ludicrous trolling.

Please do not respond to offensive posts. Simply report and ignore. Let's keep a positive tone in here folks.

Sure, no problem.

Thats what ive been getting at.

And sorry I just saw your edits. This isnt a rant just an agreement with piggio on the transition between A16/17, and my real frustration with the way we get treated asking for updates.

This topic is relevant too, Roland, because this should be the last step before A17 unless we get more showstoppers in stable.

I will edit this post please be patient, im using my mobile.

Cheers.

Update: I went over my post and edited out any language that people may find offensive.

If there is anything I missed, please feel free to edit it. You dont need to give me warnings I was only responding in my previous post to people jumping on me. Its not nice Roland and you should discourage this gang mentality.

That may lead us to a more peaceful thread.
