How about cutting HTC a break on the BBS
« on: April 23, 2014, 08:25:18 AM »
Two weeks ago I was in the DFW area and paid a visit to the HTC office. Hitech gave a brief display of some of the new water/terrain...very cool stuff and not unlike what's been posted in the updates. I watched Dale at work and let me say, what he does is tedious stuff. The situation is no less demanding for Skuzzy.

It's safe to say that HTC is aware of the side switch time demands/complaints/suggestions, which have overtaken the general discussion forum of late. Each time Hitech or Skuzzy have to deal with a distraction on the BBS, less work is applied to the game re-write. I for one would like to see the game progress continue unfettered. Can we just leave the drama behind and let these folks do their' work?

The majority of the chatter about the 12 hour rule could have been cut off at the knees with a simple, "Hey dudes, we hear what you're saying.  We'll look into it for the next update" or something similar.

Did they never reply to any of the numerous requests? If not I don't think the matter was handled well by either side. Spamming the forums with the same requests like was done, evidently got what was requested: A reply. A reply that may be unpopular with some but a reply no less, a reply I think is justified given the obvious insolence of blatantly breaking the rules. Somebodies fought the law and the law won.

 I find HTC loves to stick its head in the sand when something comes up they don't want to deal with anymore.

Statements like this always make me think of a Bill Cosby line from his old stand up routine "Let the beatings commence".

Go read this thread,

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,361494.0.html

And see how well a response to the OP worked out, he is still screaming just like he did before I gave him a response.

Now do you think a response to you is going to work out well?

The point is many time we are damned if we do damned if we don't, many times we choose to say nothing because it is the less of 2 evils
