Hi all
Just some comments about this survey and SH4.
Imho, one interesting question to ask to the community is "will you buy SH4 without a DC2 ?" or "Do you expect a DC2 with SH4 ?"
Many of us who played with SH2/DC (or still playing which is the case on Mille-Sabords), didn't move on SH3 because of the lack of DC2. Some of us are really dedicated destroyers players and never wanted to sail a sub. Thus, there was no future for them with SH3.
Today with SH4, the question remains the same. Will old SH2/DC players move to SH4 without a DC2. Is DC2 still an expectation from the community ?
If yes, I think we need to push this message to the dev team and speak all together.
I have already some elements which make think there's still a strong desire to see a DC2 coming.
We have a survey on Mille-Sabords since last April with 2 short questions :
1/ Do you want a DC2 ?
Yes 91.45 %
No 3.29 %
Perhaps 1.32 %
No opinion 3.95 %
Will you buy SH4 without a DC2 ?
Yes 32.24 %
No 44.08 %
Perhaps 23.68 %
No Opinion 0.0 %
304 people answered the survey.
As you can read, half of our community will not buy SH4 if no DC2 is made. 23% are not sure they will. Only a third will buy the game without a DC2.
Just means to me there's a strong expactation, for many players, to enjoy what they found with SH2/DC and couldn't be recreated in SH3 without the human challenge.
It also means there is a market for a SH4/DC and it could just simply worth the development !
It would be great to speak a single voice and let the DEV know what they can do to match the players expectations !
When I see we just finished our 3rd championship on Mille-Sabords for 2006, with 5 y old simulations like SH2/DC, it simply means nothing has not yet replaced them.
Kindly,
Phullbrick
Edit : I missed the right forum ! Could someone move my post in the right torpedo tube please ?
