SCG_Neun Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Have I missed something or has it been "very" quiet on the developmental diary posts concerning what is being worked on for this game? I for one would like to hear some news.... It doesn't take that long to reach out and keep your supporters in the loop. How about it......If I've missed something...please disregard.

6./ZG26_Emil Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Jason said they would give us an update this week. The last update was from Zeus with that gif of the changing landscape from winter to summer.
SCG_Neun Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Thanks Emil.....I appreciate the information....Since they like to move things to the proper area on the forum......I just thought something would be in the diary section...where I could easily check. Is there another location I should also check out? Oh before I forget...how's the weather there in Northern Monkey......? Edited May 20, 2015 by JagdNeun
6./ZG26_Emil Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I liked IL2 BOS on facebook and I think that's where I saw the gif but generally they're in the diary section Northern Monkey = someone from the North of England. As usual it's raining and cold here in Manchester just like it is on almost every other day with slightly varying degrees of precipitation :D
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 They had a major holiday. Not sure how much work was getting done but expecting an update this week.

Finkeren Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I think it's testament to just how good the communication from the devs has been, that we're calling it 'very quiet', when they don't post something new for a couple of weeks.

6./ZG26_Emil Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Zak just posted two GREEN pictures here http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/16021-bos-screenshot-contest-enter-here/page-5?do=findComment&comment=260382
simplyjames Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Honestly it worries me how little they update. Times have changed and if you ask people for $100 upfront months before release you better be updating people on progress constantly. There's a reason most devs now a days have constant dialogue with their customers. Are there going to be new features? Are there going to be fixes? Do they completely ignore their customers or are they implementing changes/features they ask for? Where's the ship headed? WHO KNOWS? That doesn't give a lot of faith to the general public. I mean, I worry that they don't even have a programmer at all at this point. I really like this game and want to pick up BoM badly but i just can't pull the trigger on a ghost ship. Hopefully the update this week is a good one and hopefully updates come more frequently than every 3 weeks to a month from here on out. I really want this game to do well.
6./ZG26_Emil Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 They update every week except when they have holidays. We get more updates than any previous IL2 title by a long way. We've already seen pics of the 110, P40, Mc202, E7 and I16 so it's a fairly safe bet that this isn't like some kick starter which no progress. Also their release dates for patches etc have been spot on almost everytime again better than any previous IL2 release. Personally I think they've done a great job keeping us in the loop, I would like a bit more talk over future ideas/features they're thinking about but that's me I can't wait to fly the new aircraft and Q1 2016 is feeling like a very long way off so the early access will be most welcome....at least to keep me going until the summer maps come out :D 1
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 James, I don't think we have missed more than two weeks between most updates except right at release when they had their hands full. It's usually every week or two as long as they have something to report. Some updates are pretty small and others more compelling. As I and others have pointed out, they are coming off a major holiday. Zac posted new summer pics today which I consider an update of sorts. I'm willing to bet we have a DD soon. Don't stress, the info has been coming in a pretty steady trickle since EA.
No601_Swallow Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Northern Monkey = someone from the North of England. .. Well, nobody's perfect... Are you from the blue bit or the red bit? (My nephew's starting university in Manchester in October. I've warned him to stay out of the Hacienda... )

SCG_Neun Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Guys...the maps are great, the plane and ship designs awesome.......but come on...how about some information on some of the tweaks going on behind the scenes......is anything being done as far as smoother game play with more AI up in the air and the ability to increase the ground action. Is anyone working on the campaign design in the area of linked missions/dynamic battles and the like. Are these areas going to be worked on from the Dev's perspective or if they have to be worked out by third parties, are the tools there so it can in fact be done? This is not an unusual request, is it? Many of the complaints coming in from the guys...has to do with what they've gleaned from past information and that appears to be....the game is what it is in it's current form and there are no plans from the Dev's perspective to enhance any of these areas. Okay...maybe that's true...but can third parties address these areas or not? I think the game is great in so many areas....and yes...it's a great day...but why is it so difficult to have open discussions about the direction this game it taking...... 2
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Campaign, as I understand it, will be done cooperatively with a third party. Jason was asking/looking for a couple of programmers (Java I think) six or eight weeks ago. 1
SCG_Neun Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks HerrMurf....that's my point...why can't they say.....we still haven't found anyone...or we've found someone and we are actively working on it.....? Maps and aircraft are great, but why not keep us in the loop with some of the games "corrective" actions. That induces more positive outlook from more people. Edited May 21, 2015 by JagdNeun
Vaxxtx Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Maybe because there are no changes being made beyond a map and planes? Pretty simple really. Nothing is changing. Didn't Loft say on the 15th that people buying BoM buy it because BoS is good/right? Why mess up that wining formula... 1
BlackDevil Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) There is a Vaxxtx in another forum, who is bashing BoS at every chance, and at the same time is praising another sim, which couldnt solve major problems within a few years. Is it you ? I am pretty happy with the progress of BoS. And I am looking forward to fly a 110 in EA, which will surely feel like a plane flying through air And yes, it would be nice, if some things like the player limit in MP could be worked on faster, or the campaign for SP. But maybe they cant invest more money as they sell copies ? We can be lucky, that they still continue the development in this niche market. Edited May 21, 2015 by BlackDevil
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Don't engage him. It is a dead end. He has a few valid points but slips into vitriol rather quickly. 2
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Don't engage him. It is a dead end. He has a few valid points but slips into vitriol rather quickly. Nah.
6./ZG26_Emil Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 People complaining that we're getting more aircraft and maps...in a flight sim! whatever next If BOS wasn't any good I wouldn't have been flying online almost every night for weeks. Yes I have some gripes and would like to see features added but who's to say we wont get them? I'm sure that wont convince the [Edited] who keep popping up. See you in the air....or not

How about some links, so I can see for myself. Otherwise its vapor. I find it funny that even though Loft said basically nothing will change some folks tend to ignore it. Easier to try and bash the poster than address what is posted I guess. Very defensive folks here.

Vaxxtx Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Same guy also in steam forums, again bashing IL2 non stop like hes getting paid for it. [Edited] Again bash the poster, ignore the post. This kind of stuff is why its hard not to check these forums now and then...so entertaining. Edited May 21, 2015 by Bearcat We will have none of this..... 1
BraveSirRobin Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Very defensive folks here. LOL A fan of another flight sim who goes forum hopping trashing BoS isn't exactly in a great position to be calling other people "defensive"...
Vaxxtx Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 LOL A fan of another flight sim who goes forum hopping trashing BoS isn't exactly in a great position to be calling other people "defensive"... And coming from this guy....lol. No loyalty from me to any Sim. Then again I sure don't suppress my opinion about ones that are good or bad...that seems to make some people here sad/mad. I find it funny.
6./ZG26_Custard Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Same guy also in steam forums, again bashing IL2 non stop [Edited]. Doubt that, but it's clear that there are a few people coming into this forum to sow seeds of discontent, and what a shame. I can only think that the best course of action for said individuals who find BoS not to their liking should probably go back to their respective sims of choice instead of the constantly bemoaning a sim that they clearly don't like. 3
BraveSirRobin Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 No loyalty from me to any Sim. LOL Now that is funny...
Vaxxtx Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 So let me break this down 1 People asking why no updates laltely apart from maps and plane pics. 2 I post something about Loft in essence saying nothing but new maps and planes will be different, and that is why no other updates have been posted. 3 More than 3 people decide to go OT in order to get personal because I don't worship the game. I can't wait to see where this goes. 1
SCG_Neun Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 I remember Jason saying that about the campaign weeks ago, so it is a positive point that should be reinforced within the DD section. I can't speak for the antagonist in this forum, but the best way to silence the negativity is to give us some directional plans for this game. I hear about the Loft comments, and I read the Jason comments.... I read Zaks section and he appears to be the PR person...I'm not trying to stir anything up, just get some game information....the more information the better and the less "speculation" .
6./ZG26_Custard Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I can't wait to see where this goes. Probably locked
BraveSirRobin Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) 3 More than 3 people decide to go OT in order to get personal because I don't worship the game. I can't wait to see where this goes. Considering your behavior on this forum, you're not really in a good position to be calling other people "defensive". Edited May 21, 2015 by BraveSirRobin 1
SCG_Neun Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah it's a pity we can't have some discussion without it going downhill....
Vaxxtx Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah it's a pity we can't have some discussion without it going downhill.... I agree. 1
6./ZG26_Custard Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah it's a pity we can't have some discussion without it going downhill.... When people clearly have the distain for a sim to the degree some folks posting on here have, it's only going to go one way, unfortunately.
