Online Petition of Patch Buglist

[RtkBedivere]

I know it might be early. People will say im jumping the gun but CA needs to stop ignoring us. And this is one way to do it.

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/M2TWpatch1.2

I took the liberty of making a petition for the online community of M2 so that we can potentially make a point to CA saying "here we are we are the multiplayer community, stop ignoring us"

The goal is 300 signatures which is a pretty high number but i think if i advertise enough we can reach it. I know lots of people are annoyed with the patch list as it seems to avoid MP quite a bit. So lets stick it to the man. Or CA whatever comes first .

Also make sure that if you sign you dont post a comment. I would like it if people could but i have to approve comments and i cant find the option anywhere. It appears i can modify comments in so if you have one just pm me your name and the comment you wish to add and i can put it in.

If it eventually gets enough signatures i might even feature it so that the site will send it directly to CA.

Thanks alot,
Sox
p.s. just in case you missed it

I realise that you guys want to maintain good relations with CA, but the community would very much appreciate pinning this thread..

[RtkBedivere]

also comments are now postable.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work before.

Any input is welcome there should be an option to sign against the pettion. Though im not sure where it is. Site said there should be one. All feedback is welcome.

Thanks again,
Sox

Blizzard talks about this one: http://p223.ezboard.com/fshoguntotal...icID=387.topic

It was signed by 508 members in 2004.

Blizzard, couple of months ago, released a patch for Starcraft.

Just in case you don't remember CA's position on petitions:

There was a lot of bad blood in this thread (a lot of which has been edited out), here are the main points:

However there is no need for a petition, in fact you should all be aware of our opinion on these by now. Online petitions have to be disregarded as a measure of opinion as they are completely open to abuse there is no email authentication so any one make multiple signatures. So for example some one could start a petition saying that we should completely scrap the strategy map form our games. Then set up a PC to auto generate signatures and a few days later you a have petition with 1000's of signatures.

Totalwar.ORG members are not autogenerated signatures. We have well established and long tried security measures, the Entrance Hall system and all, to make sure that it remains a place where honourable people with legitimate intentions of discussing the TotalWar games and other things in a civil and friendly atmosphere assemble. There have been very few and marginal instances of crossing the line, all of which being taken care of properly and promptly.

Added to that, quite a large majority of the signers of this petition at this board have been well known and respected members of the community for a long time. They should never be suspected of identity abuse.

I kindly and most respectfully protest such implications as a devoted ORGAH.

hell id write a letter if i thought that would work. It wouldn't. Even thought ca says they disregard them then can disregard them. But im going to go through the steps that i personally can to put the word out. If they disregard o well at least i tried. Thats what matters to me and i think thats what matters to the people who signed.



If anyone has some other ideas then sure im up for them. Hey lets just form a picket line out side CA headquarters :)

Also the difference with this petition to ones that have been seen before is that each signature allows for personal input and lets people explain. If people want to send me personal comments about what they specificlly wish to be stated in petition i can update it with specific concerns from the community on points of the game we would like to be fixed.

Thanks alot. I will probably form that list and update the petition at that point in a couple of days.

I suggest waiting at least couple of weeks, before starting any petitions. How do you think it looks to ca when we start complaining about patch before its out? Also well be able to complain about things like pikes beating everything for 120 florins, or something similar. ;)

I hate to say this, but that is an incredibly poorly worded petition.

1. They have not copletely ignored the mp community, there are several multiplayer bugs on the list, and several single palyer bugs being fixed that will affect multiplayer. So stating they have compeltely ignored the multiplayer community will not help your cause.

2. It's short. There is no how you would like to see things changed, or what you would like to see in the patch. Just a petition that can be summed up as "Boo CA suck!". I bet that really wants to make them listen.

3. As outlined above, CA have a set attitude towards petitions.

So frankly the petition is pointless. It appears to serve no purpose apart form to whine. If your gonig to make a criticism/whine, amke it constructive, or add in some positives. No one, and i mean no one, likes being whinged at.

CA have a set attitude towards petitions.

Their current attitude is a result of the RTW petition which was a constructively worded petition signed by 508 registered org members. Lots of players worked on verifying that the issues presented in that petition were legitimate issues. CA shut the door on petitions after that.

Noted. This was the shorthand start of the petition. I will update it in a couple days when i have sometime. I'm getting on a plane tomorrow to head home for spring break so i just have to get collected first.

Any help is welcome btw
