150GCT_Veltro Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Has been taken a decision at least about the TO Theater of Operations? Yes or no, please. I don't ask to know what TO is. Edited June 22, 2016 by 150GCT_Veltro

ST_ami7b5 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) 1. Great news, waiting for the announcement about the new features in that patch 2. I don`t have any rush to see what is the next scenario. Take your time to think it really through. I am not sure anymore what would be a best choice over all. 2. The best choice from the business point of view would be that one, which brings the most money to devs and at the same time doesn't make too many customers dissatisfied. That's the reason I think a customer's poll to choose from devs "candidates" could help both sides Edited June 22, 2016 by ST_ami7b5
Nocke Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 The most important and really good message is actually - they ARE thinking about a new theater.

The best choice from the business point of view would be that one, which brings the most money to devs and at the same time doesn't make too many customers dissatisfied. That is partly what I was thinking. Most money to the devs and more importantly new players for the game. Edited June 22, 2016 by Zami
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I'm a pretty big fanboi but I'm starting to lose interest in both the game and the forums. Nothing new to play with and not much to talk about anymore. Make a decision already. The servers are the lowest population levels in a year. If guys like me are slipping away, that is a huge problem. We haven't even had a devblog or diary in weeks. Get a move on Devs. 1
LLv24_Zami Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 The servers are the lowest population levels in a year. I think that is caused by summer and holidays in Europe. People have something other to do than gaming.

Get a move on Devs. Agree completely I think that is caused by summer and holidays in Europe. People have something other to do than gaming. Hmmm....I've seen that said in the past about RoF and CLoD. Problem is; the numbers did not come back in the autumn. Or at all.

But it is a fact, at least my gaming reduces a lot when it`s summer and holidays here. Depends on the weather of course.
LLv44_Damixu Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 It's (sort of) been done. Here are the combined results from both forums: All roads lead to Kuban. All roads lead to Leningrad and Gulf of Finland :D The Kuban might come afterwards, if there's enough beef to grill
216th_Jordan Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Could be. But it is a fact, at least my gaming reduces a lot when it`s summer and holidays here. Depends on the weather of course. Same here, a little devblog here or there doesn't hurt though 1
Brano Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I'm at pub on the shores of the lake drinking fifth beer with a shots of borovicka. It's around 30C and last thing I would so is sit in front of my PC and simulate La-5 overheated cockpit:D 2
LLv44_Damixu Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 All roads lead to Leningrad and Gulf of Finland :D The Kuban might come afterwards, if there's enough beef to grill This move seems the most logical to me. Covering three big theatres of operation and major cities first: Stalingrad, Moscow, Leningrad. After this the road could lead anywhere there's money to be made and people to serve (read: Mediterran theatre of operation )
Trooper117 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I'm a pretty big fanboi but I'm starting to lose interest in both the game and the forums. Same here...

216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Sometimes there is nothing newsworthy to report. Example: DD145. We fixed some bugs. Nav lights on the Pe-2 are moved 3cm back. Hangar floors have new textures. Bf-110 radiators now open 0.5 degrees more thanks to a community sourced document. No news on the next theatre. Bye. But if you wait three weeks and gather a 150-long list of those and have time to work on proper features to announce, then it becomes a DD that goes down in history.

DD_Arthur Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Some days it's just not worth it. Jason Jason, it's worth it every day. It might seem a pain in the rear end but a little communication goes a long way. We know you try your best and believe it or not, most of us understand that without you none of this would exist at all. It cannot be easy being part of an operation based in Moscow and dealing with what must be a wholly different business culture - for someone living in SoCal. It would make a great deal of difference if perhaps Loft would like to pay us a visit and give the English forum a little love too.
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 BlackSix showed up today to give us a short heads-up, and he's around often. Unfortunately the English forum due to language barriers doesn't get Han's collection of cool memes, but otherwise the level of information is more or less the same.
DD_Arthur Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Lucas; thanks but I can read. Haven't you got some marketing you could be getting on with?
Lusekofte Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 If the dev´s do not know what to do next , Fine I can tell them. As long as it contain a IL 4 and HS 129 they can do whatever they want 1
Brano Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Eight beers and three borovicka is the final score for this evening. I don't know what you guys talk about. Life is short and summer even shorter. And those young ladies serving beer.... yummie ... I'll be back tomorrow and also day after tomorrow :D 1
VBF-12_Snake9 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 My guess is they need to sale so many copies before the go signal is given. Waiting to hit that mark? Or maybe the next step is such a huge decision that they must get it right? No more yaks and 109s for me. Made my decision if that's the case. Elder scrolls is coming out about the same time. They can take my money.
DD_Arthur Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 2) We still have not made a decision about the next game and continue to consider various options. It will take some time. This does not strike me as a very positive statement. I would think "consider various options. It will take some time." means sales of BoM have not been quite what was hoped for.
BraveSirRobin Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I would think "consider various options. It will take some time." means sales of BoM have not been quite what was hoped for. Only if that is what you're hoping for.
Dakpilot Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Eight beers and three borovicka .... Have drunk pretty much all over the world but have never experienced borovicka? Please enlighten me Cheers Dakpilot
DD_Arthur Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Only if that is what you're hoping for. No BSR, its not what I'm hoping for. I only have flight sims on my pc. I'm not interested in any other pc gaming. BoS/BoM is the only show in town that is going where I want to go. I hope they've sold a shit load of copies and are right now preparing to strike while the iron is hot and announce the next expansion as the invasion of Italy. I can't wait to crash my early access Seafire onto the deck of an escort carrier. However "consider various options...take some time" does not make me feel optimistic.
BraveSirRobin Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 However "consider various options...take some time" does not make me feel optimistic. Or it means that it's going to take some time to consider the various options.
DD_Arthur Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Or it means that it's going to take some time to consider the various options. Yes and it's the options and the time that worry me. 'Kin 'ell! I'm starting to sound like Hillbilly
BraveSirRobin Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Yes and it's the options and the time that worry me. Why? There are several options, and it probably requires some research to determine which is best.
KoN_ Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Like any businessman or company ,they are probably waiting for the sales of BOM `i would think` before any future announcements are made .
DD_Arthur Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Why? There are several options, and it probably requires some research to determine which is best. I agree; but what I'm worried about is a lack of sales meaning some of those options could be a reduction in staff numbers or a reduction on the spend on third-party teams who are sub-contracted to do the modelling. If we are going to continue with the series then a good case can be made for the Kuban theatre as the next "logical" progression. Would this be a logical commercial decision though? In my opinion it would not.
Jade_Monkey Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 No need to be logical, it's a game. It needs to be fun, enjoyable and make the devs money.
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 The idea that "Oh hey guys we have to sell X copies of BOM before we name the next product." is honestly incredibly silly. BOM isn't in full release, hasn't been published to Steam (where it definitely has a lot more visibility) and it is seriously unlikely that the approximate number of sales has any bearing on when the next product will be announced. BOS and BOM were prefunded - you seriously think that BOK isn't going to be?
NN_RugbyGoth Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Guys, the anti-cheat/ban system Jason talked about has been released. Here is the first footage of it : http://9gag.com/gag/adX6n5B
