I have seen this same stupid "The developers don't owe us anything" crap on hundreds of game message boards for years and it's so infuriatingly stupid and illogical that it makes me want to punch a baby.

We are paying customers. You don't buy a car and then find out that it has a bunch of wiring missing and then go "Oh well the car manufacturer doesn't owe me anything!" and crash placidly into a lamp post, now do you?

A reminder that we have ten year olds on this board so stop the swearing and violent attitude.

The bugs are not safety issues. You are screeching like someone who got the wrong shade of paint.

'Oh myyy gawddddd I can't believe that is an apricot pastel, I spefically said to the intewior designa that I wonted a strawbewwy pastel with hints of goldenwod.'

If you have an issue it would be better to state it clearly and stop the theatrics. The steam only clouds up the issue and hinders resolution. Always work towards the answer don't agitate over the fairness or unfairness as that will not make resolution happen any quicker.

So if you really want to resolve the issues quicker then state the bug, how it occured, rate of frequency and leave the snide comments out.

Show me where I swore.

My metaphor was perfectly acceptable, the bug I describe is not cosmetic, but a problem of the game mechanics.

violence:

infuriatingly stupid and illogical that it makes me want to punch a baby

swearing :

crap

it is a swearword in the context that this site has under thirteens and more importantly the style/vitriole in which you use it.

Don't post with an attitude that you would not want your mum, grandma to see.

Oh please. There's more violence and swearing in the saturday morning cartoons that every 10 year old watches. Not to mention that we are here discussing a game that REVOLVES around violence.

i don't think so

within the guidelines of this forum a level two warning is warranted,
further transgressions would incur a level four (ban)

Further I can assure that in some parts of the world saturday morning cartoons do NOT allow swearing and violence.

This forum is designed to fall into PG13 category,
and to conform to the lowest level of violence and language accpetable under that category,

NO swearing
NO threats
NO stalking

have i made myself perfectly clear?
i have no problems using the moderation tools available to this board if you are having any trouble understanding me

About the whole "if anyone, blame Activision" ideas - I would have to disagree, to a point.

They were the people who gave CA an extra YEAR in developement to make the game Awesome with almost everything implimented that they could. Heck, there's still things that they only got around to partially impliment but put in anyway because they know the mod community is so great. These things are the code which someone at TWC found for a Blood Mod - code which just needs to be "unlocked" to have it work. In my mind this is an amazing thing on CA's side as it makes it that the game can have blood, but it also makes it so that it needs to be modded in and won't stunt their sales by giving the game a Mature rating. There are also things like the Reflections mod which unlocks yet another piece of code which CA didn't impliment. It seems this one was left out because it doesn't work with some graphics cards, but when it does - WOW CA wanted this game to be amazing and it shows - I think we can cut them some slack right now. I've been pissed off from a number of bugs and oversights - but overall I can sidestep them and pretend they dont' exist for the moment; it isn't easy, but it's possible.

My point is that CA and Activision deffinately know that the game has problems and are well on their way to fixing them. All games and software now adays has patches and whatnot to make it run perfectly (and even then it isn't so). I agree that it's frusterating when a game loses some things as it evolves but hopefully we can adapt to those things or mod them to our likings.

You can say "cr*p" in a PG13. Saturday morning cartoons like Batman are extremely violent (and a lot include words including and worse than cr*p) but just because it's good guy versus bad guy most people (no offense but especially americans) don't recognise this as violence. Besides, as I said before, RTW revolves exclusively around killing and violence, and if a 10 year old can experience that then why not this? And should they even be here?

I am not trying to stir up trouble but I just think you mods are overreacting here.
