And yet Relic have seen fit to have him visit not once but twice.
Thereby suggesting that whatever Napalm might or might not have done in the past they clearly don't have an issue with it, or, shockingly that they might have decided to launch a PR campaign to get one of their critics back on their side.
And that's exactly my thought. Relic trying to make us trust them trough a member of the community because they know most of us lost faith in them and no longer trust.
As lovely as it was to have a whole news post dedicated to Napalm visit it was just empty of content. It didn't say anything relevant or important that the community could find useful.
You have visited Relic's office and you're just teasing without saying anything, it gets annoying after some time. We need actions not the same story that we've been told over and over during the past months.
I understand you may be happy because you saw some things we haven't but it doesn't change the fact that right now the whole community doesn't know anything and our reaction is based on that.
Only a few things have been found on the game files that don't tell actually a damn thing.
This whole NDA thing needs to go away. If they make promises for months but they don't deliver it's just a natural reaction to get pissed off. They should be more clear saying what's about to come or just say absolutely nothing not even "We're excited". Creating false hype is worse than keeping silence.
They keep making the Hype train more heavy and when the stuff actually arrives it's obviously that part of the community is going to be disappointed because when Relic says something big is going to come, something exciting, everyone hopes for the best things that go trough their minds(Bug fixes, Balance issues, DLC, Commanders, maps rotation, new maps...) You can't blame the community for expecting what they believe the game need.
People wouldn't be that critic with them if they decided for once to tell us what's the plan and what are they going to release.
They take months to throw an update so you expect them to fix almost everything and that's why people is always bitching. People is bitching because Cruzz was able to fix gamebreaking issues and some unbalances in his patch in a single week on his spare time and he doesn't even work at Relic neither he knows the game as well as the developers and of course he is not being paid. When people see this kinds of things happening I think you should understand why everyone is bitching at some point.
I dont get why you guys discuss what, how and why Relic is doing what they are doing, if u actually have no idea about it. Everyone here seems to know stuff i dont.
I will be vocal about stuff if i am asked too or if i have information about it, but discussing "how bad relic is and how shitty future content is gonna be" is ridicouless, and i sadly would understand if Relic would stay out of this Forum.
Lets take these discussions in a few months when the stuff has been announced. All you guys know that big stuff is waiting for us ( leaked things ) so why cry about it now. Please keep the whining until you know what and how it is gonna happen!
I guess as a member of Napalm's clan he has told you something we don't know because otherwise I don't get where all that blind faith comes from.
People's opinion are based on the work Relic has done previously and it's not like Relic has done such a brilliant job in the past that people should trust them blindly. This opinion comes from the reputation that Relic has earned during the last updates of the game, streams, threads... Part of the discussions we see around are there because Relic fails completely to prove that they are really working on the most important things the community care about (Bug fixes, gamebreaking issues, fixing abilities, balance...)
Most of us think that they have their priorities messed up.
You're always crying when you lose a match and trying to justify your defeat when nobody cares. You also cried when you lost versus Luvnest on the same map.
We all have seen what a M2 .50 Cal can do to concrete or metal. It's just plain stupid that Relic added this HMG and made it so powerless. It should melt light vehicles and light tanks, not to talk about infantry or cover.
The actual HMG reminds more of the .30 cal like the one we can see here:
I also asked some genuine questions and they just laughed at my questions and moved on after that I said #justrelicthings and pointed out that the stream was being useless because they were not answering anything so I got a permanent ban just after saying that.
Meanwhile some people around here said a lof of bad and wrong things in polish and other languages and didn't even get timed out.
They banned a lot of people for asking genuine questions and specific ones too. This reminds me of a Relic dictatorship where people can't voice their opinions nor even ask questions.
If they're not going to asnwer any question then they shouldn't be streaming. I don't believe they are aware of the community feeling abandoned by them as a game developer. It's so sad to make the first 2015 Stream like they did, playing 4v4 while ignoring the chat and just reading what they find convenient.
Peter was so disrespectful towards the playerbase by answering with sarcasm at the questions and giving ironic answers too. I'm very worried if he really is the head of balance at Relic because his answers were ridiculous and totally unrelated to the question.
They know we have seen commanders and War Effort images because they leaked and they can't even pronounce a word about them when they're asked.
Just a few answers from Cynthia:
- I don't have a specific answer to that
- We're working on a lot of things
- We can't say anything yet
- Go to the offical forums
- We love you
...
I'm sure the game will get fixed with Cynthia's love. I would prefer Relic to hate us and care about the game than having their love.
This is the worst Stream I've ever seen from a game developer, it was a disaster and I can't believe there is still people defending them.
