Relic - Please lift the NDA

I don't want the NDA lifted.

The wailing will begin early.

The faction mechanics/design is something that isn't likely to change this late in the development stage.

I find this whole NDA none sense ridiculous with most games,
let alone with coh2 and relic as it is, NDA has a place with pre-alpha concepts and any story/rpg driven game sure, but arbitrarily applying it to everything from the studio only distances them from the community.
And with it being an expansion that integrates directly with the content we already own it seems only prudent to inform us of as much as they can.

When you're a small company like relic and don't have the resources to do extensive play testing of every change and addition to the game its best to release it and let the community help with feedback.
Makes sense, however to appose NDA and to Take far to long to release patch fixes to glaring balance flaws breaks the whole dynamic of the development.

I can understand the extended schedule for big expansions, but like with every new commander that has been added, any game breaking balance flaw will take far to long to be patched, Some of which could have been avoided with a more open view to the community.

Relic seem to be treating this like a AAA console single player fps in close competition with a similar title.
To get balance to a competitive standard and continue to enrich the game it should be treated like as a perpetual beta, its the only way relic and us the community will get what we want with what we have.
Whatever the reason i think relic really need to take a look of how they are approaching this.
However i doubt this will change at all, its how it is, was and ever shall be.


That being said i love coh2, i figure i will get the expansion at some point so why not get it now, got it a couple of days ago, like i imagine most who are complaining have done

Wait, what?

There was a 2nd OKW stream?

I can only speak for myself:

The lack of information about the WFA is one of the main reasons that hindered me from preordering.

twenty benjamins

Benjamins are 100 dollars. Sorry for going off topic.

I'm not being facetious, but people as picky as you about putting down twenty benjamins for a RTS XP are relatively unusual and will not even ping the corners of the sales radar.

Sorry.

I agree that the marketing strategy has been meh, and that *elements* of the NDA seem unduly restrictive, but even so...
