Maps, yes more Maps

Thats like hiring a contractor and they do half a job , which this game was half baked , and telling you to be grateful they are finishing the job along the way ? šŸ˜„ I find it hard to think of a game thatā€™s put out and then has zero input after? Am I just stupid in thinking online games arenā€™t just thrown out at release and not maintenenced ?

The only games that recieve content updates are live-service models and the occasional early-access indie project that keeps building upon itself.

Not every dev treats their game like an MMO thatā€™s expected to dripfeed skins and cosmetics.

I think you misunderstood, who is bitching about predlocks? Over 12 months they added a single map and new mode , the map was full of bugs ? Skins for weapons? Full of bugs that reset load outs, months where you could exploit under the map , weeks of bluescreen on ps4 and constant crashes , broken matchmaking ? And you think thatā€™s playable? Jesus

ā€¦soā€¦ you think weā€™ve been to the sun? Am I hearing you right? Lmao

Iā€™m not making negative assumptions, Iā€™m carefully trying to explain why Illfonic canā€™t do everything you wish they could. They want to do everything they canā€¦ theyre on a budget and a schedule. Theyve got a road map laid out and theyā€™re not gonna make last minute additions because it would affect that schedule and budget significantly.

Thereā€™s being open minded and positiveā€¦ and thereā€™s being unreasonable and demanding.

A map and mode in the first year isnā€™t bad at all especially since this hasnā€™t even hit its anniversary yet. I figured the roadmap was going to hit way more delays since a month between melee animations, character sculps, and weapons is a bit much, but they clearly had a lot of this on the table before the game even launched.

Fucking red dead online is like 2 years without an actual update now?

Well thats just worse on them then , because the game would be even worse in that state , I will wait for the paid dlc . Isnt that against what you say? If they arenā€™t obligated to work on it post release? Why release paid dlc? They canā€™t have their cake and eat it too . This isnā€™t opinion either , look at the bug history and thats the point Iā€™m making

You release paid DLC to support the game beyond launch lol. Are you arguing the game isnā€™t being supported because thereā€™s bugs?

The latest bug is people getting disconnected mid game ? Alot of people? But thats playable? Guess Iā€™m wrong

So, youre just gonna pretend no bugs have been fixed since launch? The only bugs Iā€™ve encountered were fixed within weeks. Again, thatā€™s more you can say about most games.

And here you are complaining about cosmetic bugs pretending they make the game unplayable. Same thing as bitching about female predlocks. There shouldnā€™t even be female predators ffs lol

Thatā€™s been fixed. Happened after the update, they fixed it the same week. Itā€™s playable.

Furthermore, if this is so unplayable and awfulā€¦ why are you here?

Well no, itā€™s actually like being a contractor, and having a client constantly demand you make additional changes outside of contract for no extra funding. Youā€™d walk out and on to the next clients job.

As a contractorā€¦ donā€™t make these analogies from the clients perspective lol

Yes Icarus, and how is it demanding wanting new maps? They can add new players and new modes (clash we didnā€™t ask) so why not maps?

Asymmetrical maps are different. Theyā€™re not just placing a bunch of barrels down in COD. Areas have to be balanced for both sides, as areas that are too open are almost gamebreakingly bad for the Pred. It has to be viable to play in with obstructions, not just look nice.

Think year 1 DBD and their poorly thought out infinite jungle gym loops but on a way way more complex scale because of how trees/foliage/predkour/cover interacts with the pred player. DBD maps are literally just a series of waist high windows and tall grass and even they donā€™t just release 3 maps a year even though it would be easy to do without putting much thought into it.
Iā€™d rather we get balanced maps than the shack area of Backwater.

Then they should focus on Pred mechanics instead of FT for smoother play throughs

Dude theyā€™re not working by request, they have a road map laid out. No one asked for a lot of things, thats inconsequential. Our requests are mostly restricted to minor things. We wanted the ā€˜want some candyā€™ line, that they could do. We wanted more shaders for unique classes, that was doable. They canā€™t just design a new map outta nowhere, everything theyā€™ve got planned for the game is already in the works. Thatā€™s what the road map is for, to let us know whatā€™s coming up, not to ask if youā€™d wanna change directions. Theyve got new maps planned and new modes planned, theyre already in the works, and thats what weā€™ll get.

Fine as long as I get new content then Iā€™m ok I guess

Yeah dude, its coming, its just that we dont really have a say in what big content updates they drop. Its good enough theyā€™re listening to us for the bugs and little things.
