hames123 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Could you please do 1 giant patch for the ROF career? Soon, the multiplayer scene will die completely over there, and everyone will play BOS. Thus, I am requesting one giant, final patch to the career, maybe after Kuban comes out? I know you have limited manpower and money, but would a single patch really be to much? If you wanted to make some money out of it, you could also whip up a DFW early version or a BE2, both would probably still sell well. There is not going to be a world war one sim like Rise of Flight for the next 10 years at least, so could you please just round out the career mode? If you want a list of gripes and things to fix, you can ask on the ROF forum. Edited March 25, 2017 by hames123
BraveSirRobin Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I think the "one last patch" was the last patch.

You can't really say that. While I'm sorry that your favorite game is being abandoned you can't honestly know that no one is working on a ww1 sim. From what I read on the steam reviews section, new players are upset that it's gone f2p (I agree). You get a couple of free planes then the rest you have to buy and that's what I thought. It's not bad, but I don't want to buy all those extra planes. I don't know if they are better than the free ones. I found it fun, but I wanted to buy the whole game as one package. I already dislike the collector planes sales model, but at least the planes in the base game are good enough for most players and the collector planes are more alternatives that respond best to experienced players who know how to fly flight sims well and even then some are considered inferior to the base plane set. I even had to contact support to get my key to work. Support were excellent as always, but really I think they made a massive mistake making it a demo where you have to buy each plane. Not even a demo that allows you to buy the full game. I hate this type of business model and if really puts me off any game that does this. I am still tinkering with rise of flight though because it is a good little game, but I'll probably never play it online and I don't want to put money into one or two items. Ultimately there are better and more complete experiences out there. It's a shame. Edited March 25, 2017 by deleted@30725

I cannot for the life of me understand this kind of attitude. As far as I know, BoS and BoM have no demo or F2P option to let players try it out, like RoF does. And a BoS or BoM premium edition "full game" costs $80 (US) and comes with 10 planes. The F2P version of RoF comes with 3 planes for free, and with another $80 you could easily purchase another 16-20 planes (including field/weapons mods for them), and that's at list price with the standard volume discounts - if you wait for one of the frequent sales you could possibly get even more for your $80. So for the same "full game" type price as you would pay for BoS or BoM, you could get twice as many planes with RoF. So, your complaint is basically you're mad at them for giving you the option to choose exactly which planes/content you want to buy, or only to spend whatever amount you wanted to spend, instead of making you buy whatever planes they decided to put into a package whether you liked them or not and charging you "full game price" for it? Sorry, I don't really see how the RoF approach is such a horrible business model. Edited March 25, 2017 by TG-55Panthercules 1
BraveSirRobin Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Sorry, I don't really see how the RoF approach is such a horrible business model. It's a great model for the customer. It wasn't such a great model for 777.
TG-55Panthercules Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 It's a great model for the customer. It wasn't such a great model for 777. Well, yeah, maybe not, but I was assuming that BFB was complaining about it as a customer and not as a dev team member.
BraveSirRobin Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Well, yeah, maybe not, but I was assuming that BFB was complaining about it as a customer and not as a dev team member. And I was agreeing with you. It's just too bad that that model doesn't work for the developer as well as it works for us.
Jason_Williams Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I'm sorry but we re not working on ROF for the foreseeable future. Jason
