Title: a plea to the dev's
Post by: Gilibran on March 01, 2005, 04:29:04 am

I know everyone of you is doing the utmost of his abbilities and putting in every minute he/she can spare.

But I personally think that a bit more information release from the developers is needed.

I understand there are far more important things then to reply to every topic posted here and that is not neccesary either.

But a stickie topic or some other official notification latest news or whatever, that problems bugs are noticed and worked on is very much needed here imho.

It will greatly reduce the number of double, triple quadrupple posts on the forums.

Don\'t get me wrong here ? really appreciate the work done, but I also realy think the dev\'s should reply more clearly on reported bugs and that they are working on it. That will imo kill every 2nd , 3th or whatever post on the same subject. Just a message that says yes we know and we are working on it now stop bothering us about it.

Game testing is 2-way traffic and perhaps i\'m not reading thorouhgly enough or completely overlooking things but there\'s more info coming in then going out if you get what i mean.

to be clear i really mean this as positive critisism.

Would you rather they work on the bugs, or waste time telling everyone they\'re working on the bugs?

PS takes enough time as it is, without needless wastes of energy. If you want to follow development progress, read the CVS changelog.

As for reducing duplicate topics... this *is* a duplicate topic. :P

Of course, there are many more messages coming in to report bugs and glitches than there are messages from the devs replying to them.
The reason for that is there are a lot more players who don\'t check out the forums for info, than there are devs working to correct the problems.
I agree with Moogie, it is much better that the devs spend their time to try to fix things, rather than having to sort through the many duplicate posts.
As testers for this project, should we not try to read the posts first and see if we can find the info that is usually there, sometimes hard to find, but usually there.
