If that's the kind of bar you're setting... you might as well expect things supposed to be done in August to then eventually be implemented in December.

Holding people to their word is a thing... and while you don't seem to care... eventually the issue you may have may not ever be answered or addressed in any timely manner. But hey... it's acceptable when it's finally listened to in 2017 or later.

OMG are you not happy with anything?

to be more serious I dont know when exactly i want the roadmap posted. With that being said, i am not going to be like the OP and start making spurious remarks regarding the state of things or the future becuase they didnt release one on the 1st

I dont know what else to tell you, I have gone on way to long with a bunch of nothing that was off topic.

Calm down guys, there is a patch this month i am sure. As sure as one can be given the evidence.

THIS THREAD IS DONE

Yes, I'm happy playing some other game that demands my time.

You are giving them slack til the day before patch day. With someone that uses your current logic, it would almost be acceptable to have an August roadmap the day before September.

When people ask for a response AND are given the self-imposed deadline (like Paul did for the tournament for guidelines/rules for being recorded for a livecast) and NOT get it at all (which happened in Paul's case - https://www.reddit.c...ability_issues/). This roadmap is best be described as delayed.. and that becomes unacceptable to reasonable people.

well like i said, i already refuted the OP. I think no matter what i type Its not gonna matter to you even if i agree with some of your points, its not good enough.

to address your first response, to me it sounds like you rather play some other game. In that case why are you even posting on the forums to topics which you dont see going anywhere?

I like to give a little wiggle room because the world i live in is not set stone and things happen. Sure do we like them always, no. Do i like delays and when things dont get done? no i dont. Also you completely took what i said an made it sound as if it said the end of the month when I clearly said about the 15-17th. Mid month at least to me would be appropriate.

I dont know what your deal is with deadlines. as far as i can tell they have been hitting their mark on the patches. If your gonna go back years ago, then all bets are off.

Russ mentioned in Twitter that they are putting final touches on it and we can expect it on Monday.

This is what bandito said in the beginning of this thread. All this other stuff is irrelevant. Its not a vent thread, the OP made a statement to which he did not have all the knowledge at his disposal and made a premature statement. This thread has been off topic since page three. bandito already as well as I answered the OP's statement, and in no way could you draw conclusions from russ not releasing one soon enough.

Sans minimap debacle right?

I don't remember that they hit their mark on that at all. It got players.. including "silent founders" to get out of the woodwork and comment on it.

Besides.. every monthly patch has had a hotfix. I don't call that a success.

the fact that they got the mini maps wrong is irrelevant from the fact that they had the minimap change in their notes. When i said hitting the mark i meant that what they had in the patch notes was correct. and using the lame line of "deadlines has long been dead" That was in reference to CW coming into the game. Since then they have been road mapping their patches

You are intentionally misleading the readers or once again you are picking and choosing the information.

At this point i think you are not being serious

I care enough about the game to complain.

It's better than being indifferent/apathetic and assuming things will someone get better on their own... because having the game been dealt that way for too long has allowed more dumb stuff to happen.

No... you're not really absorbing the truth of the matter.

I'm not even saying you have to agree with what I'm saying - but you're totally just not reading facts as facts, but as opinions despite Russ being the actual source for some of it.

what is "dumb stuff"

also is it only dumb to you? is it relevant to anyone else? because we do share the game with other players.

Russ's initial plan for those dumb crates were to have them randomly spawning somewhere on the map... for people to collect it and win something when the team won.

Imagine people actually going out of their way to looking for crates instead of scouting/fighting the enemy... that would've been a huge disaster.

If it's not discussed, worse things would've happened.

And before you say "Oh, but it's Twitter, you shouldn't take it seriously like it was a proper deadline!". Twitter is the only way we can communicate with PGI. It's the only way they communicate with us outside of the announcements page. So when we see Russ say one thing publicly, we should ASSUME he's not spouting hot air. That's a deadline he gave himself by saying it in a public setting. That's one he missed. You don't do that. All I can hope for right now is proper communication and professionalism. Neither of which we're getting.


ID have gone for the CW will be out 90 days again and again thing. And "its Twitter" isnt a valid argument when the only place PGI communicates IS Twitter

I agree with you, but you might have to blame twitter for that. Its instant access to russ. so he can tweet from his phone. Im just saying there are pro's and con's. But i do agree that the community manager should do a tad better job and become active

I wanted a very recent example, since our resident White Knight thinks that things from years back aren't worth mentioning.

all i see are roadmaps beginning in janurary 2015

They made these roadmaps specifically because of missed deadlines. So instead of working in the wind, we knew what to expect each month. Everything subject to change though.

You keep talking like PGI gives a crap for 12 pages. I don't have anything useful to say because it is a waste of my time to compose anymore suggestions that I haven't already posted thinking and hoping they will read it.
