PSA: This is not TA or FA or SC2 or...

Re: PSA: This is not TA or FA

The devs have given to peer pressure on SMNC updates and even though everyone wanted the update they hated it post-update.

That being said, I think they can make a functioning RTS game.

I agree with the original post though. The devs know whether or not it will fit into the game when they test it. THE MAIN POINT is that while NOW is the time to post ideas. If while making SMNC they would have came up with some ideas they have now, it would have been made implemented or moddable. As is, its impossible for them to make a straight-up tutorial, servers that run certain ways, or to add lots of ideas because the game is already made unable to do it and they don't have the manpower post-release to fix.

We should all express ideas, so they can be tested, thought about, and even ensured they can have moddable support. If we didn't discuss a veterancy or metagame, reguardless if it's in-game or not, then it might not be possible to add later.

I'm as much or more referring to a general reticence to explore new ideas is all. =/

What would you call pages of discussion critiquing the many ideas on this forum? If people were reluctant to explore new ideas then there would be no replies, not tens of pages on nearly everything posted.

Pull your head out mate.

You know what would solve this thread once and for all?

... a poll!

I dunno, that's a touchy subject, maybe we need a poll on the validity of polling....

Mabye we should have another thread about spaceships.
Or experimentals.

i just hope they start releasing solid info about the game so people stop talking about other games they seem like they would rather be playing instead of PA.

until more solid info comes out thats all the forums are capable of being tho i suppose.

I would call the information Uber have been releasing consistently so far 'solid info'. Information about the save/replay system, the procedural planet generation and clarifications on the server/client model to name a few.

There is also some decent and pretty enlightening discussion on these forums if you read through the good threads, ones that the Devs contribute to as well. Orders as first class entities and area commands are two good examples of such discussed features. I wouldn't be so quick to write it all off as people plugging their favourite game for the sake of it. If the community is to be discussing or debating RTS mechanics then references to other RTS games are inevitable.

I'll just leave this here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjcyHicm3NA

This really should be stickied IMO
