Relic - A Word About Modding: Our Rules and Guidelines

Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2015, 20:20 PMAlexzandvar

Except none of the people I have mentioned have said these things. They have all been more than reasonable in express disappointment with Relic's DLC model, the massive amount of bugs still in the games years after release, and the lack of communication with the community as well as a distinct lack of new content and patching.

Thinking Relic won't patch something is absolutely correct thinking because they have failed to patch obvious stuff in the past, and saying Relic is incompetent isn't exactly without evidence when they say their maps go through a lot of QA, but all the maps are terrible.

I hate DLC
Here have Warspoils
I hate Warspoils


I want to be able to get CAS and Advanced Warfare
Here, have them from MWNL2
I want new content you are just being cheap




No, they want what they want to make the game better for them and that's a very subjective judgement

Telling people they are stupid and incompetent and should listen to you because only you can sort their life out is a fantastic life hack

That shows how the community can achive something...Relic would never have bothered with that bug.

People wanted CAS and Advanced Warfare, but they also wanted MWNL2 to actually add some new content like very needed commanders for USF and OKW who are still stuck with 6 each despite it being months after WFA release.

When you love someone you are honest to them, you don't bullshit them. You think Siberian, CieZ, Barton and all the other content producers and community organizers criticize Relic because they hate Relic and hate the game? No, they want the game to get better and part of that is being 100% honest in your appraisal of things.

And some people didn't want new content because they wanted the existing stuff fixed.

Because the Community is not a hive mind

Assuming for a moment, that I accept your premise, that doesn't give any coherent way to make progress.

It was a game breaking bug that could be fixed, a straight binary yes/no condition

Very few of the issues we have left in the game are open to such easy evaluation.


Assume that the game would be balanced if Panthers cost 150 fuel, Cpt Price Method doesn't give you anyway of achieving that goal

Oh wait, you said all the other content producers and community organizers criticize Relic

I only need to find one to disprove your assertion, and I did

How does USF and OKW getting new commanders have anything to do with getting stuff fixed? The balance, bug, and development departments are all different.

Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2015, 20:18 PMThunderhun

Well the Captain's "On me" was fixed after Price started abusing it, otherwise it would be still in game.

Glad you understand that, but most people here don't, and therefore regarded AA as a slap in face

Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2015, 20:50 PMAlexzandvar

Actually most people here do, and at the very least understood the fact single player only people did need some new content. It still doesn't excuse the fact OKW and USF are still stuck at 6 commanders.

How many more Commanders should OKW need, or have?

The "Blast Them All into Perdition Commander" at 12 CPs, with double KTs? or "the Fanatic Spray and Kill Commander" at 2 Cps, equivalent to the fire force of a combined Pionier-with-shreks/Ober squad?

I just think it's a very silly thing to post because it accomplishes nothing except to give the appearance that Relic is going to heavily police modded content. I also think it's a silly policy because it's counter-productive (for the reasons stated above), but they're two separate aspects of silliness.

Posting something like this doesn't improve Relic's bottom line at all; instead, it gives people another reason to doubt their ability to effectively manage a game and a community. It's a net negative, just like the toxicity post was a net negative. Why post this now instead of waiting until a problem comes up and handling things on a case-by-case basis in the meantime? It doesn't make any sense from any perspective except a strictly legal one, and you've got some serious issues if you're letting your legal team manage your game for you.

I knew about the captain bug in June and also reported it. Nothing was done until people were exploiting the hell out of it.

Actually the giant flaming middle finger to modders is how limited your options are for modding.

Currently you can make maps and edit some stats with no information on what exactly Relic intend to unlock next regarding modding. (Unit Skins, Decals, loading new models etc.)
