Leaf Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Let's wait and see. I mean, if he's 'hoping' for a Friday update, there's no reason to assume there won't be a little diary entry, right?
Finkeren Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Btw: E_O, what's your take on LOFTs talk about opening a door for people to bypass the unlocks? I suspect that might be somewhat good news from your perspective.
dburne Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Hopefully the developers have a good solution. I don't think charging people to remove the unlocks is a good solution either. I personally think if they take the large outcry on the unlock situation and use it as an opportunity to make even more money off of those especially that contributed very early on by paying upfront long before the game was released, would be a big mistake on their part. In any event, the first of the week should be very interesting on the forums. Hopefully in a very positive way. Edited January 30, 2015 by dburne 2
6./ZG26_McKvack Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Unlock news will be nice to hear about. I am sure that it will be a nice choice. Even if we can pay for it maybe there will just be a really small cost that doesn't bother anyone. For me its fine as the money will probably go into developing more content or a new game in the future. I rather pay for a flyable Ju-52 tho... A man can dream
Rjel Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Honestly if the unlocks were offered to be removed for a price, large or small, I'd pass. I'll support this sim and its developers but not in that way. Either the unlocks stay or go away but I won't pay more for the privalige. 3
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I really don't think there will be an "Blog" tonight.
Yakdriver Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 in moscow its about to be saturday, so... chances slim but not a biggie.

Well, through me being stupid or not just doing my homework the locks caught me off guard. I bought the premium game twice! I can live with the unlocks(hate them) but i'd throw 20 or 30 bucks more at the devs to get rid of them. I doubt I'd throw more than that.
Solmyr Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 lol, I thought you wanted a plebiscite to get a reco version of the 109 F...

Either the unlocks stay or go away but I won't pay more for the privalige. I'd pay IF they were part of an add on with a new map and two planes. Maybe $5.00 extra with the considered price of said items. It would also have to mean that no future planes would ever incorporate the unlocks. Anything less than that would be unacceptable to me. I WON'T pay for unlocks for the sake of getting rid of something that for all intents and purposes should not have been there in the first place. EDIT: But to be fair, we don't know what the announcement will be until Monday. Unlocks may not even be part of the discussion and instead we find out that the ME is to be released soon... or that BoS has been successful and will release a new theatre within six months. We really don't know and should probably be careful with our surmising - especially about a hot button topic like unlocks.. Edited January 30, 2015 by Trident_109
Finkeren Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Greedy developers love people like you. I hope we can all agree, that the guys at 1C/777 are not particularly greedy. If they were, they would've made a very different game. 3
IIN8II Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I am just most interested to hear the roadmap for the future of BoS.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yep, most interested in a roadmap which includes either a summer and/or a fall map.
1./KG4_Blackwolf Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 And this is why developers think unlocks are the future :- Greedy developers love people like you. Well, if it gets rid of the things I cant stand about this game whats another 20? I would think by all the blowback they(any devs) would see this is not the way to go with a flight sim. I won't go into it here EO, we have another forum where I have addressed this topic.
unreasonable Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I am hoping for a roadmap, and a solution to the unlock issue that also allows the gamer to reset player level on demand. Without that, the SP campaign becomes unplayable and any future content has no value for me.

What's another twenty? It smacks of extortion. I really don't think this is their plan, so I'm not overly concerned with the possibility of paying for unlocks.
dburne Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 At this stage I'm still hopeful that 1C/777 will do the right thing for them, for their board of directors and for their customers. Let's hope this issue can be put to bed once and for all. A big plus one to that !!
Finkeren Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 If they do invite people to pay "another twenty" to remove the unlocks then people will just claim that was their plan all along. If they honestly did that, there would be no way to defend it.

Without that, the SP campaign becomes unplayable and any future content has no value for me. A big plus to that. This is the main reason I wont play the campaign (and have gone back to RoF and CLoD), I am at the highest level and it is almost impossible to complete a mission - bloody ridiculous idea.
Jason_Williams Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Why do you guys always assume the worst in us? Really? You'll just have to wait and see what our solution is. It's fair and finally addresses the issue that gives so much of you heartburn. Jason 3
Pierre64 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 More precisely : "Why do some and always the same guys assume the worst in us"
D_Konig Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Im hoping for a roadmap of some kind so we can see whats planned for the future. I love these games

It's fair and finally addresses the issue that gives so much of you heartburn. Jason You are an evil corporation, a big name in the sky, casting shadows upon us mere mortals with your actions and decisions. we must fear your past screw-ups to become your future screw-ups, we must fear that if you make one "good" decision, it will come at a (dollar?) price tp Pay(Pal). we must fear - above all that is what we must! Stop listening to them. You folks gave me the LaGG to paint, and i am having a BLAST. To the Point where i wish you would give me the entire LaGG Family. You'll do fine and eventually you'll be fine. scru those that say otherwise and drop bucket-loads of Goo over your announcements. siriusly
ST_ami7b5 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 C'mon LaGGdriver... There is no "we" vs. "them". Everyone wants this game to be as good as possible.
Yakdriver Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 aaargh!i forgot the appropriate[humor][/humor] tagsor is that [cynism][/cynism]? i was not serious, obviously...

It's fair and finally addresses the issue that gives so much of you heartburn. Jason I have to agrre on that Jason... Until now all I have paid is the entry price when I got Early acces, so it´s unfair to start speculations on this. I have been with ROF ever since it was released and the business model seems fair to me. Addon aircraft are not overpriced and there ahs been alot of upgrades, updates and additions for which we did not have to pay. Though it has taken a long time for 1C/777 to finally change the unlock system, it now seems to happen, so it´s not fair to say that they aren´t listening. The desicion to add the unlock system was in my eyes bold and bold decisions sometimes nneds to be taken inorder to try out new concepts, though sometimes the desicion then proves wrong. This can be apologised as long as the developers are fair enough to give in that the decision was wrong and then rectify it. That is what we will see now I guess. Keep p the good work and we will be back on track again, since overall IL-2 BOS is really the future for WW2 flight simming. FinnJ
Brano Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I hope there will be option to switch off postprocessing eventually.
DD_Arthur Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I hope there will be option to switch off postprocessing eventually. Lets hope Loft will feel able to give us a double whammy on Monday; give us options for unlocks and options for graphic settings and two thirds of the aggravation on these boards will disappear!
Tektolnes Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Lets hope Loft will feel able to give us a double whammy on Monday; give us options for unlocks and options for graphic settings and two thirds of the aggravation on these boards will disappear! +1 Two blindingly obvious and no cost, simple fixes that need to happen. We'll see tomorrow I guess.
Feathered_IV Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I just hope they don't pack it in and close shop. Must feel like a thankless task sometimes.
Yakdriver Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 that is indeed the worst scenario imaginable for me.
SR-F_Winger Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I expect only cool things. I am totally excited looking forward to tomorrow. If its new content, FM fixes, new features, the oxy system, removed unlocks or whatever. Everyhting makes the sim even more awesome than it already is. AND i am certain that the OR issue will get worked out sooner or later as well!! Edited February 1, 2015 by VSG1_Winger
ST_ami7b5 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I just hope they don't pack it in and close shop. Must feel like a thankless task sometimes. I have thanked them by buying their product - just like you. If you want to thank even more - then buy another copy.
sop Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I just hope they don't pack it in and close shop. Must feel like a thankless task sometimes. Amen to that.
Jaeger55 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Someone posted that one of the programers is very ill. I wouldnt be surprised if any update is delayed.
oneeyeddog Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Someone posted that one of the programers is very ill. I wouldnt be surprised if any update is delayed. Jaeger, could you be more specific as to where and when this post was made? Thanks.
