impulse200 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Since everyone is going to have their own dedicated server, then everyone accordingly will be able to set up custom servers with unlimited ammo, for instance, and get those modifications in a blink of an eye, gaining an unfair advantage over those who just come to play the sim. [Edited] You've already restricted gaining unlocks only to normal and expert modes. The same is easily doable on any MP server. Please make your points without being insulting.

=SqSq=Sulaco Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 If people took half the time they spent complaining about unlocks on these forums and instead actually spent that time earning them in-game they would have everything unlocked twice over.
LizLemon Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 There was a faction of people who basically said "quit complaining about the 190 cockpit it is fine/won't be changed" Yet eventually it was changed because of all the community uproar. While the developers may not change the current set of unlocks, what about the future? The Macchi that will almost certainly be an add on purchase? Or the next theatre or expansion pack? To say that complaining about unlocks is useless is simply short sighted. 2
Feathered_IV Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I think if the campaign itself was enjoyable there'd be a lot less people who are unhappy about the unlock system. If the unlocks really are here to stay, there is more sense in trying to find ways to make the campaign experience better. 4
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Indeed. Seeding resisdence and playing the harm cattle wont change anything, especially looking at future developments. If I for example was in the mood of unlocks being a total no go and ruining my whole game expirience i wouldnt post in here but quit and tell my mates to pack their bags to go with me. It's the potential that scares me, a potential that could easily get lost in future due to such feautures. For me it's just a game, as Jason said. For them it's their job, their comittment, in some way their life. I dont think they enjoy dealing with critiq sites and low sales but that's just what hapoens if you mess up. Time to look ahead, lets hope the mistakes dont wont repeat again and that bugs/feautures with issues (campaign) will get fixed before its too late.

What a campaign experience.......

Or do something like straight up boost the XP income to 4x what it is right now. Honestly, there's many many reasons to make things so much better without removing or overhauling the system. Yet nothing is being done.
Matt Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 If people took half the time they spent complaining about unlocks on these forums and instead actually spent that time earning them in-game they would have everything unlocked twice over. I probably spend 10 minutes this year complaining about unlocks and about 90 minutes for a few hundred XP trying to do unlocks. So nope, not even close.
Bearcat Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Guys.. we need to move the topic of unlocks to the other thread.. I'm going to politely ask you to post this kind of stuff in the designated place our forum. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/11694-campaign-system-unlocks/page-16 This thread is about a particular update. And I have said it many times before. 1C has nothing to do with the unlocks. The community has an incorrect view of what 1C is or how it operates. All big decisions were made by the board of directors of which the majority are not from 1C at all. 1C has not dictated anything to 777 or 1CGS, nor did they dictate anything to any other previous team except make a product that is quality, that works and on a reasonable budget. Just like all other parent companies do. And people who say we don't listen to users are again, completely wrong. We have made many changes and will continue to improve the product based on feedback and other metrics gleaned directly from the community. The one issue that you use to paint all aspects of our development is the unlocks which is not fair. Plus just look at all the incredible work we have done to support ROF after all this time. There is NOTHING in our history as a company or team that suggests we do not listen to users or make changes based on feedback from our users. Now back onto the proper topic which is what Zak originally posted. News about our future development plans will come when we are ready to announce them. I had hope we would have released the Dserver and ME by now, but that work has slowed due to a serious illness of one of our long time teammates. That is no joke. Life is more than just playing sims.

CorsairHundo Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) If people took half the time they spent complaining about unlocks on these forums and instead actually spent that time earning them in-game they would have everything unlocked twice over.Not everyone sits in front of their pc, typing on a forum. The iPhone's etc have replaced the flip phone so between tasks at work or times in the day (lunch, breaks) when you have a few minutes you can reply to forums, facebook etc, so your way wrong on your assessment, sorry. I see all the editing to posts for opinions, don't see any flaming but it's all gooooood, chop chop Edited January 20, 2015 by CorsairHundo
RydnDirty Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Just sticking my head in the door, don't play anymore or read the forums... hoping maybe the devs have come back with a fresh perspective after holidays and pleaded temporary insanity and now come to their senses and removed that deal breaking, bot grinding, offline unlock system so I can play multiplayer, No. Hoping for some news about continued fine tuning of the flight models... I stopped playing when I realised the BF109F4 climbs to 6km in under 5mins which is about 17% error above historical tests,(6mins to 6km) No. But there is some news of the tecnochat ... which I could not turn off fast enough when it was introduced. I hate icons and techno chats and flashing UI that go BING! with a passion. Oh well nothing to see here , moving along. 2
voncrapenhauser Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Great DE motivational...have not seen that one b4
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Lets see all this circle talk about the unlocks, mmm since release Oct. 3 months now? you could of unlocked the modifications for your aircraft by now instead of restarting a circle talk. Wasting your breath and hours of discussion could of been put to good use unlocking the mods. Yep ..... and this is why "I" am silent on this subject (for the most part) ... because when time and inclination provides itself, I'm working on unlocks. Chief

ST_ami7b5 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 well heres the reality 1 or 2 vocal people with 1000 posts+ does not make up the community But you do, dont you?
sop Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 But you do, dont you? Nope just giving my opnion.
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Guys.. we need to move the topic of unlocks to the other thread.. Being genuine here, BC... What is the DD for? What are we supposed to discuss? A lot of the subjects being beat over the head are pretty polarizing and I think it starts because we never see the "UNLOCKS RESCINDED!" announcement. Is this just the thread to say "Hey, good job." and then we open specific topics in the main board?
Jason_Williams Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Closed for a bit until you guys can play nice and stop getting personal. Jason 3
