  1. Can we please have some honesty and transparency?

    Ok, again, I am a patient guy, I have other games to play to occupy my time with, but I do have to agree with the OP on some of the points he brought up, even though it will probably bring some heat from the undaunted faithful out there. I do find it hard to believe, that for x amount of weeks now, they have been stuck on one User Interface element. Some of the things said here and there about elevators and what have you have been said since that little tracker hit 13 of 14 tasks. So, in essence, if they are working on bugs and stuff, the tracker should be updated, not sitting on the current 13 of 14, it's not honest if you are telling us that all that's left, then you mention Opps, found an elevator bug. The Dav's did put the Tracker up so they wouldn't have to state a release date yet again, now it's just well, once we are finished with this one item on the User Interface. So in all fairness to the OP, if they are telling us to watch the tracker and look for emails and updates and watch the streams, and the tracker isn't moving, and they mention other bugs they are knocking out, then it isn't transparency, because they have backers sitting on the edge of their seats thinking its only this one thing they must overcome before the release. As far as wanting it to be a super polished and enjoyable alpha release, I can understand that, and I applaud the effort, however, the expectations that they themselves can find all the little things that are going to go wrong with the server by using unreliable stress test techniques instead of a real-time environment while the server(s) are under real stress by real players doing crazy things trying to break the game or find a glitch testing it like the very meaning of Alpha and Beta expects us to. It is not really something you would expect from a game developer, it's more like something that you would expect from some distributor's legal team. With that being said, a lot of important points have not been addressed like who is hosting the servers? Will there be an NDA during the initial module release? What protections are they putting on the game client to keep it from being ripped, reverse engineered and possibly some sort of cheat engine being developed that could mess them up during the full release? Remember Dark Souls III, the very day it went live there were the super hacks already there. So, team A (the faithful and true) score points saying hey, there is a lot of things we don't know about going on in the background with the Devs, and Team B (the Want to Know's) are correct in saying hey, maybe if we knew more about what's going on, we wouldn't be so impatient and ready to just say hey, gimme my money back. From my perspective, yes, the Devs have not really been reliable and faithful in keeping folks updated and the whole tracker thing was kinda eye candy if they don't keep it updated. Til the release, I have other games that are currently getting my subscription money, and that's money that could be coming here for upgrades if I knew that there would be updates that made sense and explained the situation. That's just my take on things.

  6. New Delay is disconcerting, but I stay the course...

    I can understand your points and with any statement or opinion, there are counter points and different points of view. I am not the kind of person who gets worked up over a few bucks intended on bringing me entertainment, so to me, unless the company does just abandons the project, i can wait. Fifteen bucks is the cost to go see a movie by yourself, and you get to watch it once, 30 bucks if you take a date, so the low investors like me are sitting ok at this time. The higher your investment in something, the more risk there is that what you have spent it on isn't going to be what you expected. With that being said, you said some things that were interesting, how you have brought people to the game and that you have concerns. If we play devils advocate and say, "well, if the devs would release this or that, like more than a minute long video of game play, or live stream things about the game instead of CS:GO or whatever, it would be less likely that people would need to be referred. You could say, just release the module, continue working and do patch pushes to the module as you get them completed. There are so many opinions on what should be done here or how it should be done there, but in the end, the developers are going to do things on their terms UNLESS there is backlash like mass refunds or negative videos on social media about their game, a game none of us have experienced. So, i think that if we all just remember that we decided to back it, and even if we were promised the moon and stars, from the drop there was a chance this was going to happen. We have seen games do better than anticipated, and we have seen hype trains derail on the backers and pre order folks, like NMS. The more negative as a community we are and impatient we are, it shows and its less likely others will invest. So, lets all just be a little more patient, a little more tolerant of comments, even if we disagree and show the gaming world that this is a different kind of game with a different kind of community, instead of devolving into the typical toxic disappointed fan base that we have seen in other games. That's just my two cents and i think that i will catch some "Don't tell me how to feel" and "you don't understand cause you aren't part of the community" comments, but I am OK with that, I am just going to wait and see what happens and hope that we get to play sooner than later, and that the folks butting heads on the forums can be civil in game so everyone can enjoy it. Peace.
  7. I am just wondering if we will be able to mod rented / private servers with immersive and even more realistic content, and will there be a modding community for Identity that will be able to share / upload / download content like on Nexus mods? Also, has Identity partnered with any hosing sites like Blue Fang Solutions. The reason i ask is that there is always room to add realism and immersion into any game, and seeing the team here gave us the ultimate ARMA mod, it just seemed ok to ask. Thanks
