Most of my posts in threads asking for changes to the game are meant to show alternate methods of achieving the desired changes. If a script or mod exists that adds certain features that are not already in the game, then there is very little reason to add that feature to the game, if the script/mod performs adaquately. That is why we have the ability to create script and mods. From apricotslice's previous comments, he (appears) to think that the reason for scripts and mods is to fix broken parts of the game, which I do not agree with. If that was the case, EgoSoft would have saved themselves alot of complaints by simply not giving us the ability to create script or mods.DesertEagle wrote:I honestly don't like your attitude, Armegeddon. Apricotslice's post is constructive, detailed, and thorough without resorting to whining. If anything, the "whines" you identify are just Apricotslice's sense of humor IMO. I've put my own comments on some of your response below.
I do not want people to think that the sole reason for my posts is to try to "pick apart" other people's posts, but to try to make sure that only those ideas that actually are bugs make it to the developers. Perhaps I should let the devs and moderators handle that, but unless they tell me otherwise I will continue to offer my perspective.
apricotslice and I already went through the mess of letting our emotions cloud another thread about potential problems with the game and it would probably have degenerated into a flame war in that thread had it continued.
I can accept that what I think is a bug and what someone else thinks is a bug may differ, but that is completely due to different opinions. I just want to make sure that any alternate ideas are full thought out and not just posted haphazardly. IMHO a well thought out complaint makes the devs job easier and they can implement fixes faster.
What some people have to remember is that some of the changes they want simply wont work with the current incarnation of the game engine. In order to make them work the way the player wants, such as complexes, would require a large rewrite of the game engine most likely. Things like that are better left for expansions or future incarnations of the game, X4 anyone?
The rest of the comments I think I handled in other posts and do not want to start another argument with another person over opinions on what is wrong.
My apologies if some of my posts push the line. apricotslice has a good idea on trying to compile a list of bugs in the game. I just want to try to make sure that what gets mentioned really are bugs and not some peoples individual complaints with the game. I will stop replying if the devs/moderators conclude that I'm becoming a hinderence instead of helping.CJB wrote: How about people stick to discussing the issues, not picking apart each other's posts and discussing attitude? This is a Tech Support forum, and if this continues then the thread will simply be locked.
