If you're going to rant......

[TDK1044]

When the game is released, I think most people will really like it and have a lot of fun with it, and some folks will have a couple of issues with it here and there.

But I think if Forum members are going to rant on about something ( remember Starforce!!! Luckily that won't be an issue this time) then I think we should have the equivilent of a 'swear box', and ranters should make a small contribution to the Subsim fund in order to rant.

Objective criticism is fine...ranting should cost $5

:D

If only there was a patch for ranters....:hmm:

I'll just take a cue from Jesus and ask whoever can make a perfect game to cast the first rant :p

I think it's inevitable that SHIV will have issues to iron out. We hope as few as possible, but it will. That said, if it delivers what it promised, I'll be very happy. (and last I checked, 'pefection' wasn't on the list)

Thats the way i see it..."Hell i'll just be glad to get my hands on a copy".:shifty:

I think we need four (4) stickies ...

Sticky: Questions about SH4

Sticky: Answers about SH4

You ask a question for example:"How many ships and what kind of submarines are available"?

Some knowlegable member see's the question, they cut and paste the question to the answer thread with
"Quote marks" (doesn't matter who ask the question) to the answer thread.

Instead of playing checkers with the questions and answers all mixed up together with
several different viewpoints ...

Wrong answers can be deleated ... A good or dumb question doesn't get asked twice this way,
but if there is more than one answer the forum can tear that question apart, right?

Two more stickies are self explanatory.

Sticky: "Positive things I like about SH4"
Sticky: "Negative things I have about SH4"

Let Sharkey take care of the ranters in scullery duty ... :yep:

I :88) :rotfl: like it.

[kiwi_2005]

Yes i agree and also lets not make that fatal mistake by going into the SHIII threads praising SHIV. :D

If we're going to rant most likely we will all agree to the rants cause no doubt if one player finds a bug, more than likely we also will have it. :damn:

Yep" lets not rub it in, the sh3 forum is what it is and SH4 is what it is, so be good..http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v695/flyingdane/484.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v695/flyingdane/125.gif

[elite_hunter_sh3]

ok THATS IT!! . IM POOFED. my head hurts from thinking on how the hell does torplexed make such cool pictures in such short period of time, seriously please like tell use how u make these pics, are u a artist as a job? like grpahical artist??? seriously these pics ive seen recently look like a professionall who gets paid good does that.:up:

[Bungo_Pete]

Don't forget a sticky for people who can't get the game to run.I'm sure we will get at least a dozen of those on day 1:doh:

[stabiz]

I am going to rant!

[elite_hunter_sh3]

so torplexed seriously thou lol how do u make those good crazy pics??? are u a professional artist? graphical artist??:rock::rock: they are good like uber good

[Torplexed]

so torplexed seriously thou lol how do u make those good crazy pics???

I just pick up a pencil and start drawing. It gets done eventually.:cool:

Ahh a true artist, i was going to say Torplexed must have a program where he copy and paste certain images out of a collection into the program then writes in his own words for the comic part.

But you pick up the pencil and start drawing! Fantastic! man you should start up your own Silent Hunter comic. :yep:

[Torplexed]

I did retire all my paints, markers and airbrushes long ago. Photoshop and Painter do all the coloring work now days. Makes you wonder if people in the future will be still able to draw without being plugged in somewhere. :hmm: Oh well...rant off. :cool:

[Ducimus]

The only thing i'll ever rant about, is if i cant figure out how to mod/tweak something that annoys me in some way, shape or form. :88)

IM waaayy too burned out on SH3. For me, its SH4, or bust. They're aint no going back, so there really isnt any use in me complaining. ;)

[Torplexed]

I'd probably rant if those endless storms cropped up like in Sh3. The name Pacific means 'peaceful'. I'm willing to except the odd typhoon and squall and miserable conditions in the Aleutians. But for the most part it seems it should be tropical sun-dappled sailing :cool:

There´ll be six sticky threads.

Bugs
Here we post all bugs we find. Once a bug has been confirmed by several people it will be added to the Confirmed list in first post of the thread. If there´s a workaround for a certain bug it will be posted in the FAQ thread.

FAQ
Screenshots and Videos
Stories and Patrol Logs
Tech Support
Things you love or hate about SH4

If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.

Just FYI, the moderators won´t tolerate endless rants. Like already has been said, objective and constructive criticism is fine, such criticism is very important, but please spare us any kind of "Ubisoft sucks!" posts. ;) Thanks!

[Takeda Shingen]

Just so long as everyone is aware that there is going to be an influx of complaints about the sim, regardless of it's condidition. These complaints will, naturally, range from the apt to the ridiculous. We will have our fair share of individuals who will condemn SHIV after an intensive ten-minute playing session, and vow never to play the game again, casting a pox on all of UbiSoft's projects; past, present and future. Strangely enough, they will then return repeatedly over the next six weeks to remind the collective forum of their decision.

Be prepared, and have your selective blinders on, people.

That's from the soul Ducimus ... I agree :up:

A soul is everything you put into it, both good and bad ... :yep:

[Respenus]

Gizzmoe, you disappoint me. Me must make more stickies then 6. One must separte the screenshot and video sticky into:
-Humorous SH4 picture thread
-Screenshot thread
-Video thread

Other are fine!

[AJ!]

I cant wait!

First thing im gona do is complain that the sea is too deep... then that there are too many/not enough clouds in the sky and then im gona complain that the TC x4000 is too fast/slow........... Then il install the game :up:

Too many stickies make the forum look sloppy and the sticky list confusing. The maximum acceptable number of sticky threads is eight, that means I don´t wanna have more than seven regular sticky topics. This leaves space for the occasional temporary sticky or two. danlisa is soon going to start the SH4 signature thread, which will be stickied for two months or so. The eighth sticky will probably be about ordering SH4 through Subsim.

"Things you love or hate about SH4" won´t stay there forever, maybe two months, to give the devs a feedback. "Bugs" will be removed shortly before the final patch comes out. Once a thread gets unstickied there´s space for a new one, then we can think about splitting the "Screenshots and Videos" sticky.

Hahaha. Nice. Personally, I plan to complain about the UPS delivery man first. Then, it's on to the box cover and artwork.

[John Channing]

Yup. Pretty soon Gizzmoe will have to get the old mop and broom out.

The old place is probably gonna need a little light house cleaning for the first few weeks.

SH4 SUX!

UBISOFT SUX!

EVERYTHING SUX!




There! It's all been said. Anybody has anything else to say gets to answer to the guy who won't be able to play it in the foreseable future. I'm not complaining about anything, just letting y'all know I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!:hulk:

Because when I do get it going, I bet I'm gonna love it!

[Torplexed]

The cellophane took forever to rip off the box. Bwaah. Some people must live in soap bubble to have so little to gripe about. :lol:

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Bottom line, I cant wait for GWX for SH4 :up: Especially if they provide the SDK!

[Kapitan_Phillips]

To be perfectly honest, if it werent for the bugs in Silent Hunter 3, I would never have met all you awesome folk. :up:

One of the few occasions when a screwup was worth it, in my book :)

(Sorry for the double post, guys)

[flintlock]

It seems some folks just aren't happy unless they have something to complain about, legitimate or otherwise. :)

[AJ!]

I agree........ we can also complain that theres nothing to complain about (once ive complained about everything else)

Point is we need two stickies..... one for problems running SH4 and one for general complaints, that way everything is sorted :up:

Thats gota be the most ive ever used the word complaint in a single reply.... woops said complaint again

[Sailor Steve]

Oh, I'm sure there will be problems; there always are. People complain they didn't test it enough. Well, it could be released in March 2010. People will complain about real things, and we'll all say (politely) "Can you please fix this?"

And some, as was said before, will within a week be saying "See, I told you so! UBI never gets anything right! Don't buy this piece of $#!+"! Of course the rest will be having a great time sinking the enemy and rescuing pilots and taking photographs and cheering for the next great mod.

Complaints there will always be; whining and condemnation are the tools of spoiled children.
