Warman: I fail to see a coherent point that you are making in the post above...

But, I'm guessing what you're aiming at and I would counter with : It's not being elitist if you want to play a game in a certain way (It's called being different, I play the Project Reality mod for BF2, but unlike a VERY few in that community, I don't believe I am somehow better than the people who play BF2, I just enjoy PR more). However, it IS elitist if you believe that those who do not play the game the way you would like are somehow inferior to yourself. There's plenty of frustration coming as a result of the former, with very little evidence to suggest that the latter is true. I am as always, happy to be proved wrong.

I don't think you get me.

I am uttely tired of seeing the same MP players complaining about how bad a game is but not testing it, not playing it or brifely or whatever. I played here 7 years straight. Straight

I have played though the diablce called RTW and M2TW, I started actively on MP on VI, not RTW as many would like to wished, I have played with some of the best in the game. I didn't go running off just because the stats on RTW was different then MTW did I? Sure, I still love MTW 1 and VI the most....


but I Moved on. Something some MP people of this forum refuse to do.

Just keep calm guys. After all it is only a game and everyone plays to their liking.

Only a game? ONLY A GAME?! *goes completely crazy and destroys office*

PS-- The latest from CA's Shogun 2 facebook page (3 hours ago): We're still working very hard on a multitude of fixes for Shogun 2 - but in the meantime, we're pleased to announce the release of the Shogun 2 and Napoleon: Total War soundtracks!

I was about to get a nice negative post in here, but after all, Im empty. I try to figure out things, post like a mad men, PM Jack about accuracy-velocity-curve (most wont notice right now) and in the end you get nothing in return. This is getting frustrating, really, I start to lose to believe in this more and more. 4 weeks now... I cant sum up the amount of time i put into testing over the last weeks, my steamcounter says 180 hours, which is clearly too much, with 10h work a day, 4h sleep and 2 kids who start chasing me around 5 o clock in the morning.

I hardly need some positive signs!

Good night ladies, im off to bed now and cry me a river....

I can imagine the feeling, I sometimes get it just by reading all those posts.

Perhaps we are really letting ourselves get dragged down all too much by our pet problems. After all, there are so many good and promising aspect here too. I guess we are falling into that trap that human nature holds in place for all of us : namely that negative signals get noticed 10x stronger than positive signals.

This is an instinct that has ensured our survival in the olden days of prehistoric time - when life or death would depend on noticing the slightest signal of a potential danger (like a tiger sneaking up on us through the bushes). But in modern life it leads us to make those terrible mistakes of our days, like scolding our friends, children or employees for every mistake they make, but forgetting to praise them for the good things they do (not scolded should already be enough of praise, right?).

Kocmoc, to give you something positive, let me tell you that I have so far played many very nice and enjoyable games with Tsavong, Jochi Kahn, the Aggonies (although my troops did not purely enjoy meeting those guys, their pixels still hurt from the encounter). So yes, the game is good. It could perhaps still be so much better, but it is good enough to play among friends, and there are a lot of friends there to play with.



So do go ahead and cry yourself a river, but then take a soothing bath in that stream and the salt water will heal your wounds and ease your pain. And dont forget to take your fising rod with you for a great day out.

Good points, Nigel. Obviously there is a lot of potential in the game or we wouldn't give it even a backwards glance. The more raw potential, however, the more frustrating it is to see it go unrealized. Some nights the servers seem to be plagued by different-than-normal bugs. It seems like a lot of the problems are server-side and that they are hotfixing the bajesus out of their servers to try and fix the problems but that each time they tweak it, something else goes wrong... this is just my impression from playing a few hours every night with different issues coming up. I do the same stuff every night and every night the bugs I encounter are slightly different.

So on the plus side-- I really think they are working on it. On the minus side I think Kocmoc is right-- this appears to be beyond their expertise. They should probably call in some mercenaries with massive MP experience to sort it out for them.
