A thread like this wont help anything either. The entire front page of SH5 forum is full of negative threads, that begs everyone to chime in. Yes we are all upset to some degree or another about the state of the game and how ubi has treated us as a customer and community. Tempers flare. But if everyone makes a thread to gripe about each individual thing its only going to fuel the fire. If we keep our gripes regulated to a master thread like we did with the patch when the whole 1.2 patch debauchery started the forum can return to a state where there is actual helpful threads on the front page especially for people who are new and looking for help.
I discovered this forum when SH5 was first released, which was also when I discovered the Silent hunter series in general, I use to play sims but took a long hiatus, my last sim being Janes' USAF GOld I believe. If I stumbled across this forum as a new player in this state, I probably would have imediatly returned the game and never dove into the SH series.
Yes the point of a forum is open discussion but the overall mission of this forum is to promote Sub simulations, aid new players, discuss tactics and what not. We're the community, we shouldnt be at each others throats.
I am by no means saying Im happy with the state of the game. I havent loaded it since march 10th I think. And Ive been happy play Sh3 with GWX and SH3 commander, and I also have 2 installs of sh4 to play both OM and TMO (RFB was too much of a learning curve for me, need to learn the nuances of the boats before I can give that one another go). We have been wronged pretty badly by UBI. with their lack of communication with their english audience, and blatent lack of effort to address any problems.
But what we dont need is infighting, or any provocation of infighting, in the "To UBI" thread we already have some modders arguing, hopefully they have resloved that and can come to terms I love the work of all the modding parties. If they could come together and work towards a common goal rather than bicker this game can probably be saved.
Just my thoughts and sorry for longwinded ness.
