New community manager in ubisoft forums

07-06-10, 10:28 AM

A new community manager has appeared on the SH5 ubisoft forums but unfortunately with no new news of patch 1.3

Hes been assigned to find out who stole the company's credibility.

You mean "new Silent Hunter 5 Community Developer", here.

Just another dude who knows nothing about his company nor SH5:

Quote:

- Ubisoft has not officially dropped support for Silent Hunter 5
- No future patch has been announced yet.

Well that was a fun thread to read. I would not want to be in sorlim's shoes right now.

Iron Budokan · 07-06-10, 01:45 PM

Haha, yeah, he's not getting much love over there.

Frumpkis · 07-06-10, 01:56 PM

Wow, whose bright idea was it, to bring this person in with no new information for the community? Did someone lose a bet and had to jump into the Piranha pool? It only took 20 posts for the new "Community Developer" to start losing it, and get confrontational:

"I am not Superman.

And who said I wasn't taking this whole matter seriously? You're the one saying it is a joke."

Bring out the popcorn, the party has started...

I read one thing most posters said in common. "Ubisoft not communicating with Paying customers."

How hard is it to say a patch is forthcoming, but no definate release date.

But it is going to happen.

That alone could ease some tension.

Poor guy! I hope he has the skin of an elephant.

Yeah!

Why is it so hard to answer this:

Yes, Silent Hunter 5 is still being supported by Ubisoft Romania and there will be at the very least a "final patch" for the game, details of which will be coming within 1 month. Thanks for your patience.

Or

No, Silent Hunter 5 is no longer being supported by Ubisoft Romania and there will not be another patch for the game nor any possible add-on in the future. Thanks for your past support.

Or perhaps they don't have any plan at all.

Poor guy. They threw him into a rabid dog pound while wearing milk bone underwear.

robbo180265 · 07-06-10, 02:25 PM

What is the point of a new forum manager who also knows nothing?

Oh wait - they probably get another 4 weeks of fobbing us off with someone new !

AVGWarhawk · 07-06-10, 02:40 PM

UBI is supporting SH5...the DRM is functioning on the UBI server. Looks like support to me.

So yes, UBI is infact supporting SH5 if you look at it this way.

Seriously, much to quiet. I do not see a patch coming. But that is just me I guess.

aergistal · 07-06-10, 03:20 PM

At least there is something new happening. I wonder if they got the email I sent them trough their HR address some time ago. I attached the link to that thread with the yes or no question along with a funny image edit. I like to think they did forward it to management afterall

yes, dreaming...

Yes, there is finally some movement on the SH5 front, but it is too early to get excited. More to the immediate point, I have empathy for sorlim. The fallout from SH5 made for a bumpy few months here on SubSim, and a rough time to be in the moderator chair. At least there were several of us working together and we had Neal, who is just a first-rate site owner and administrator. Still, we were only third parties; sorlim will have to actually defend the product, something that we never had to do, as he is the face of the company on that forum. Moreover, he will have to go it alone; not an enviable position by any account. The guy needs a team.
