1.50 Ideas

Re: 1.50 Ideas

Well Fingulfin, your thinly veiled threats of violence are a fitting tribute to your age.

It all reminds me of a stupid old story called the "Little Red Hen". So in any case, Fingulfin you can continue to enjoy playing a game which will probably only get better as a result of no effort on your own part. Congrats. I hope every time you log in, you realize that the game was improved owing in no part to you or the other jaded cynics.

Since different people made different requests, it will be hard to say which changes are implemented. My guess is that the people who bothered to email DICE (and are deserving of much thanks), are the one's whose suggestions will move to the top.

Your insolence and failure to see sarcasm are common symptoms of being a know it all adult.

FYI, I am a game programmer. Not a full one, no, but thats what I am majoring in (and yes, I am in college). I know how this crap works, and trust me its NOT by listening to every letter some guy sends in. Game Design is JUST like most other industries... Something you have to note is that its NOT about serving the players. Its about $$$. A company will only do what it feels will rack in the most cash. If that means another patch, then roll out the programmers. If that means bundling the game and expansion together and selling them at bargain prices, then lets get some new cover art to appeal to those who haven't heard of the game before.

If a company feels that its sales aren't going to get any better on a particular title, no amount of letters from "casual gamers" are going to make it keep working on that particular game.

Even if a company feels that a game could use another patch, do you think that it is going to listen to a bunch of one-sided letters from people? Something that you obviously don't understand is that the player base is STUPID. That means you, that means me. Nobody can agree on how the game should be balanced. Take this very topic for example! The OP said that PK rockets were over powered. Not many people agreed with him, but it still stands that the player base does NOT agree on what needs to be fixed. The absolute WORST thing that a game company can do when balancing things out is listen to the community. I know, I know, they like posting "Due to community feedback we..." but how often does something that starts like that look pretty? What would several thousand players think if in the next change log we saw "Due to community feedback we lowered the Voss's effective range to 30 Meters." I don't know about you, but I remember all the "VOSS VS BAUR OMG" threads that there were. How many people do you think would be pissed at an update like that?

In closing, a game company does what it must to get as much dough out of a title. Listening to community = BAD. You can deny any and all of the things I have stated, but hey, they say that ignorance is bliss

Re: 1.50 Ideas

no im saying that in this GAME pk rockets make assault miles too powerful and require no/little skill

well, IMO PKs make the game funner, b/c usually you can return fire as well. (the PKs rarely kill in first shot, AFAIK), and i kill most of the potential PK-killers who fire on me. most of my kills are by guns, not rockets.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

couple new ranks

no, because the highest you can get is brig. general (w/o cheating), which in case you may as well start a new soldier to get a fresh start. if you are talking about awards, then why not?

Re: 1.50 Ideas

couple new ranks and maps would be nice. Most of all bug fixes. plug the holes in fob.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

pk's are fine. The only people who have problems with pk's are campers :p

I hope they just give us a couple of maps and maybe some unlocks. Keep it simple.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

the pk rockets are fine o_O. as for unlocks new equipment, vehicles and guns would be amazing, although chances of that are low . new map(s) would be cool ^_^.

Re: 1.50 Ideas

i just saw this on the news ticker and i was shocked.if there will be a new map,then hopefully its a new infantry based one that won't turn out like highway tampa.tampa was okay but when ur stuck in the middle of the map cuz u bailed out of a transport that didnt blow up after all,its pretty annoying.so a good city or jungle type map would be very cool

Re: 1.50 Ideas

PK's are fine imo...

I don't really need any major changes (new weapons etc) but a few new maps would be sweet. And try to make the servers more stable DICE, it's tough doing headshots when the whole battlefield lags...

Re: 1.50 Ideas

remove the PKs? nothing doing on that front. the PKs are the assault version of the RL. i dodge PKs all the time. its not too hard....
