First off it is yet another "let's bash Ubi" thread. It is negative, and does nothing concerning the improvement of the game.

Normally I'd agree, I mean 7 of the posts on the front page of this forum are little more than "SH5 sucks" trolls, however this post had views for both for and against.
But really, Ubisoft has been totally out of contacts for
MONTHS. They deserve this kind of bashing if only for that. They've fully explained DRM time and time again. They haven't explained why there's apparently no support at all for Silent Hunter.
Patch 1.2 was barely mentioned, a month late and we only knew that because we translated the German forums, when it finally came out there's been no response to feedback and the problems still broken in the patch. Basically Ubisoft hasn't said word one to us since the game came out. That's utterly unacceptable.
It's now been another month since the patch came out (the patch isn't even listed on ubisoft.com btw...) and the silence still stands. Sure Dan's posted here or there at SubSim, but NO ONE from Ubisoft has posted on their main official forums and Dan's posts here have been little more than "oh yeah" and "that's neat" type posts, nothing official that he's stated, and I wouldn't expect him to have to. He's here as a friend of the site, not an official Ubisoft rep.
The total lack of communication from Ubisoft is just appalling. I've thrown down the gauntet to them on their forums and got a response from one of their forum managers, the only tenuous contact we have with the company, and she's said she'll try to get an answer to my question of:
Yes, there will be at least one more patch or
No, Silent Hunter is over and unsupported as of now.
That Yes/No answer is the bare minimum that we customers deserve from Ubisoft and will help determine the direction of modding and the end goal of SH5. If they say Yes, maybe we can get some things like minefields fixed. If they say No, work can begin on trying to add those things to the game and working on a new full war campaign can begin.
Privateer definitely has the right attitude, but without knowing if anything more is coming from Ubisoft we're just left too much in the dark.
