Look what Ducimus did!

JoeCorrado · 04-08-08, 08:46 PM

I am pretty sure that nearly all of us would agree that the modders here like Ducimus and many others should be thanked and appreciated for all the work that they do, all of it just because of their good citizenship to the SH community.

Doesn't matter so much whether we all want to include their mods in our game or not, just the simple fact that they have made the effort and posted the results. Good, bad or otherwise every effort is appreciated and none should ever be criticized or belittled for their efforts. No matter whether their work is targeted to the hard core, the arm chair, or the shooting gallery players- these friends of the community have a little something for everybody. The number one thing in my book that makes the game so fun and always new.

A big thank you to each and every one the modders here. Keep 'em coming!

Personally, I dont give a crap who's standing infront of me, as long as they do their job and do it well, I'm happy.

I'd like to reiterate, that this topic is an ant hill.....

It is not, the Sierra Nevada.....

Well I certainly didn't care for the "Duciboy" comment. Ducimus has put more effort into making SH4 a great game than any single person I can think of. Hell, I don't see how he has managed to keep all of this going like he has, especially working pretty much by himself on a huge mod.

BTW, Ducimus works on the fleetboats. He and a hand full of others (you know who you are) are the ones who will keep the Allied end of the game up so I would suggest a thank you here and there instead of insults. Otherwise, we will all be stuck with another uboat sim within a year or two.

Duci you have my heartfelt thanks for the countless hours you spend making the PTO better, I really do appreciate it.

When I first read the subject line, I was expecting the first sentence to be:

He made the game more engaging, challenging, and enjoyable for everyone!

At least, that's how I'd have followed it up. What started with him just "Flavoring to taste" quickly became the number one reason I was playing SH4. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for the hairpulling and teethgrinding that it takes to shepherd such a project for so long.

So, thanks Ducimus.

Ok, ok. First off I'm not accusing Ducimus about anything. I'm asking the reasons behind his changes, that's all. My language can get a bit misunderstood I said 'Duciboy' and 'Bilge Rat' in no malicious term. In his FAQ he said we can make changes so I didn't ask him to make any changes for me. All I wanted to know was how. Geez, talk about flying off the handle. Think I'm gonna open a window and escape to the free world. I agree this has blown out of size. I like TMO gameplay.

First off, this isn't a comment against DavyFonesFootLocker.
Here's a little message for any critics of mod-makers who aren't being constructive.

Oh, and constructive comment. According to www.juliett484.org, the OOD is in the precisely correct place. Nice job.

If we took all the hot air generated by a small group of very talented modders, we'd have enough steam for a very large sauna. But then we'd have people complaining about how intense the steam should be.

Buy the game. Install the game. Mod the game to taste and enjoy it.

We spend about a third of our lives sleeping and about a third of our lives working. Are we really going to waste any of the remaing third on this kind of nonsense?
