I recieved an education in Ukraine, not in USSR.
What you think is stupid in this topic?

Ukrain was part of USSR and as far as I know you had the same education with us.
I am Russian and I don`t complain about how they portrait the Soviet Army.
Most of it is a lie, I agree with it, but it`s not a reason to hate the company who made the game based on the same history books the kids read at school. If you seriously think a properly educated kid will believe what the game say then I highly doubt your education level.
And this forum was not made to discuss how bad one country was and how bad you hate USSR or Nazis. This forum was made to discuss the game.

So why soviet tanks can`t use their abilities with damaged engine exactly?

Most things were blacked out, but spectator mode was set visible.

It`s something

You knoww, its summer, the game has been released about a month ago. It is usual that around this time after release a large portion of a dev team is on post-launch vacation. Thus, don't expect huge movement right now, but in the near future. People saying "its out for 4 weeks and nothing has happened" are not taking this into account...

Further, it is known that THQ was pushing things because they needed money soon. Sega stepped in just half a year ago and gave them a few more months to polish things. A few months are not much to do anything major, but rather enough to get things in line.
New features are definitaly on the agenda (just ask people who have been on the vancouver community meeting). Spectator mode is one of the features which has been definitaly confirmed.

I am not saying everything is perfect right now. I'd also like to see things happen immediately. But people need to get a sense of how fast things can happen for real in industry. There's a lot of people involved, quality assurance, etc. So, lets wait for the summer break to end and see what they come up with.

Thank you Onkel, but you see people who went to Vancouver never thought of actually saying anything about what they have talked and what will come. Or I missed a post like that somewhere in the forums? Also regarding their vacation, you want to tell me that 80% of their devs decided to go on vacation at the same time and the company let them?
I mean the game just came out, this is the most important time of the whole game, this is where usually people work as hard as they can to fix problems and not go to a happy group vacation and screw all their clients. If it`s like that then don`t be surprised why people leave the game.

@Cyridius what budget are we talking about here? Devs are being paid per month no matter what the fck they are doing. Don`t tell me they are getting a salary after each project they have done. So the company wastes money on their salaries so they would do their jobs ( no matter what job it is) you are not gonna pay a 3-rd party to do something for you when your devs are supposed to know this kinds of shit.
I don`t say that the Devs are lazy fat guys sitting in front of their PC`s playing games or some sort of shit. I understand they are actually work on something, but atleast they could freaking tell us what exactly they are doing and not just " We got really great stuff comming out Sooon".

Actually the CMs have been promoting most of the events on the official CoH Twitter and Facebook.

I know this, what I was talking about was the ingame promotion

It's not a bad idea in general, but many if not most of the players are not interested in playing competetively, those who are generally visit the forums etc and this would require coding power (however little doesn't really matter, I'd rather they focus on something else then).

I know it requires a coding ( as I stated, I work in a software developement company), but I can hardly believe they have some sort of sturcture in their developement team. Some people are responsible for some stuff, some others for something else. This is the basics of any company. I can hardly believe that relic is filled with monkeys that all do the same job. I do realise they help each other but everyone much have their own tasks to accomplish until the deadline.

Riot has a much larger staff and more resources afaik, it's easy to say that Relic should have this or that, but considering the THQ bankruptcy, lower funding and shorter development time, not to mention that there might be 90% of a playerbase who much rather wants to play campaign/compstomps, it's no wonder other things took priority.
Not to say I don't want obs, I do, but it will be here in due time.
Also loads of people watch reruns/playbacks of stuff on TV all the time.

When Riot created the spectator mode they were hardly 20 people. I don`t blame Relic for not having it on release, it is pretty understandable with what happened to THQ.
But as I remember they have said SEGA is not THQ and they gave them freedom over the product ( not really sure if I remember this correctly), but I mean come on guys give us something to read on, post something that is being implemented or will be, if it will be in the plans of implementation or not. The way I see it Relic has only Noun in the PR and some developers who instead of talking to us like to someone equal give us replies that make us feel like monkeys of some sort that don`t understand what they want.
