Argeed. or How can I say it bluntly?

Alright, I started to play MP on VI in March 2004,nice year to do MP. I remember how all my buds (unpatched server,mind you), are so excited about RTW, and we never thought "well,what happens if RTW MP isn't good?". So RTW came out at end of Setember, and would't you know, RTW MP was horrible? So all 40+ people on the unpatched server, expect for me and handful of other people (Some of them you know,Relok,Warlord,Pie-Eater,etc..) left TW or Left RTW MP and just Moved on without complaining. So Did alot of you guys. Just Said what was wrong with the game and moved on. Why? Because if CA doesn't care enough to actually fix the bugs or at least make MP somewhat enjoyable, then no sense of playing MTW2. Don't Need to Leave the Communtiy because of a game like RTw or MTW2, because you can always do STW fakeserver or MTW then,or post here, but,that what I think..

I've always wondered if Fakeserver works for MTW/RTW/M2TW? :)

I DO understand everyone's frustration . . TRUST ME! hehe, but posting here in the manner of the original poster, is punishing the innocent forum patrons more than CA. CA will just overlook those posts, so one accomplish nothing, but moving good topics off of the first page of this section.

Some patrons like the game and do not think the aforementioned problems are critical enough to ruin their enjoyment. It's not that they are wrong, they just play for a different set of reasons.

I am sure they really tire of reading through posts which provide nothing to the discussions but a flaming of CA. CA KNOWS how the MP community feels, they just either can do nothing about it (due to upper-level decision-makers) or they have already been scheduled to do other work. I remember during STW days, the patches (after the first) were completed on the programmers' own time (unpaid). They were still blasted by some in the MP community for the few problems they didn't take care of. Ever since, I believe nobody at CA has been willing to put forth their own time to work on a patch, which the MP community would only get angry over and have harsh words for them in the forums.

However, I am the first to be critical of the game, if I find a problem. But I am willing to discuss it first with others to at least try to find a solution to speed the process up for a patch. So feel free to complain, but provide some good input so a discussion can happen.

Well guys im not sure what is it worth, but i've been trying to balance unit stats in the export_descr_unit.txt file, and i've sent the file off to CA with a request for them to at least test it, as i think that modders have much more time to spend on fiddly little balncing and testing units than CA does, as im sure that atm they're working on bug fixes.

I hope they at least test the file i sent them, and hpefully they will take some of my changes on board, but who knows.

Lusted, I commend you for trying. It sounds like you are on to something as well. We need CA to stamp fixes like this or they will never be accepted and I am sure the community could iron out gameplay for a decent MP. I don't know what it is about the MP community but Mods have never been accepted by more than a handful of players

My view on this is that modders generally have the time/will to make the small changes needed for a good balance, we probably have more time than CA to work on this stuff as wel as they will likely be bug fixing atm. So im trying to get CA to realise that using modder balanced files could help improve the balance of the game for both mp and sp. Im hoping they will listen to me.

fortunately i play this game for fun...i am not the one who was in any way shape or form involved in making it. If it is my job to spend a whole weekendand more figuring out how to fix the game then i would expect a paycheck for that. If you wouldnt, then perhaps you should join a socialist government of some sort.

I did give you some solutions. FIRE EVERY IDIOT AT CA WHO ALLOWED THIS TO GO BACK WITH GAME SPY. there ya go. When i dont do my job properly i am told by my boss to fix something. He does not sit there and hold my hand through the process. Is that what you are suggesting? Thats what it sounded like. You would like me to come up with solutions that will be a waste of my time. I did my part and bought the game, now they can do theirs and remove their heads from that dark place between their legs and give the people what they have payed for
