The devs should be held accountable for some aspects of this game that was under their control.

Underwater bug? Since /3? And it's in this iteration, too? Seriously?

Come on. It's always easy to blame corporate executives. Sometimes negligence has a partner, that's all I'm saying.
I disagree with number one sentence. Not a cop out. It is retaining a job. And or retaining a working atmosphere one enjoys.

HOWEVER....I agree with your second assessment! Bugs from two games ago are still present and accounted for here today with this release. Good observation sir!

Uber I am personaly growing rather bored of your angst ridden topics. You should take a break.

Shv is what it is, now let's deal with it and try and move forwards.
No amount of ranting or placing blame is going to help anyone or change a god damn thing.

@ Neal... Maybe after all members get their preorders and play and post their opinions... You can put your easy going foot down and SAY ... OK now we work positively and FIX IT!!! And quit wasting energy laying blame.

Neal... It's your way or... the Hiway.

btwe Neal aren't these new mods kool ?

well, what can you say to a man on a mission? personally I like the evolution of a concept. Really, you should hear me on a pet subject.

I'll try and reduce it down to a haiku.

The devs did this bad

It has made us very mad.

Somewhere, a dog sings.




I'm sorry about the rude text Neal. I guess we all knew that silly season was coming though.

its easy enough to test this, if Iron Budokan would refuse to do what his boss tells him to do and just goes do whatever he himself thinks is best then he can report back to us if his boss thanks him for doing whats right or not.

lets see what happens

I can attest to telling the boss what to do. Once I told my boss to go F himself. I was not going to do what he wanted. Two months later I'm here at a totally different company. Much better off I might add! But yeah, he is the boss for a reason. It is boss and employee. Not Board of Trustees.

Simple concept, why are most of you so thick to understand it.

Go tell your boss your going to do it YOUR way instead of his and, see how long YOU have a job.

I've heard a lot of fellows in life say "We were only doing what we were ordered to do." - unfortunately with mostly dire consequences. I suppose it depends on how you view your contribution to life...

Thanks for opening it back up but am at a loss as to why you closed it, or indeed what it is you want me to reply to. Perhaps you could send me a PM ?

Cheers, UG

so now the dev teamm has the opportunity why we should not point fingers at them, or point guns at them?

very nice. very very nice.
if i was one of the devteam, i would not answer.
i dont expect one of them to do so. They aint exactly "stupid" you know...

In another thread, started by urfisch, Dan took the time to respond as best he could to complaints about SH5. So why is there another thread calling out devs to respond? We have already had a good honest response, more then most companies will give you.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...1&postcount=20

Also, in that reply from Dan he mentioned that the separation between "devs" and "suits" only exists on the Subsim forum. In his opinion they are one and the same (both are Ubi in his opinion) and should be discussed as such.

What is the point of this thread?

Gruber, no problem with discussion, but... why do we need to play the blame game? Does it really matter now? I think the only net result here isn't arriving at some kind of analytical truth, it's spoiling positive attitudes and what's to date been a reasonably good relation between the devs and the community. Figuring out WHAT is wrong, and HOW to fix it is productive at this stage. Asking WHO to blame for it... where will that get us? Nowhere.

You wouldn't know this, and that's cool. But I used to do geophysical work for Texaco in the 80s. I was making a veritable TON of money. I finally had enough (all the horror stories you heard about oil companies and how they treat people are true) and I walked out and never looked back.

Yes. Believe it or not some people do have principles. Some people.

Sure. I completely understand. I told my boss to go F himself because I did have enough of the crap after 11 years. I knew what would follow. So yeah, one can only get beat to death for so long before they tell the other to shove.
