Just Wondering

[CptTrips]

What happens a lot though is you'll see someone post an idea that literally comes up every couple weeks, then take it as an affront when someone points out why it hasn't happened.

Then don't. 

Ignore posts on bad ideas or repeats and reward and engage posts that have potential.

So you're saying it is better for example for the guy that suggests both planes should go down when they collide should meet with thunderous silence rather than an explanation of why it is not that way?

I disagree.

Why?  Do you think Hitech would implement that if you weren't there to save him?

No. But I do think it's better if the guy making the suggestion has an explanation for why it is not done that way. The same logic applies for a lot of things.

Again, I think it is a matter on where you are coming from with it.  What your honest intent is.  If you are truly  trying to let the guy know something he is not aware of, that is one thing.

But I think we both know there are some really toxic people around here and many of them lurk in the Wishlist like spawn-campers just waiting to snipe.  And half the time their argument is no better that "Stop trying to tell Hitech how to run his company , man!  If you don't like the game, why are you even here?"


Blah, blah, blah.

This forums consists of of a few remaining people, that type the same garbage day after day.. if you want to see why this is failing.. look at mechanics.. we need current ones fixed.  Im burning my perks now.. waiting for a tidbit of news or something.. a little PR would go a long way here... stale##... your arena is truck supply central

I'd like to see a list of good ideas that were never posted because they didn't want to get swarmed by the usual suspect negativity vultures and shat on for 6 pages.

I guess we'll never know how long that list is.

YEP! TRUE and SAD at the same time

Yall talk about the hand full on the boards. HiTech has to deal with all the users of the game, not just those on the boards. I imagine what anyone posting has to deal with here.... is kibbles n bit by comparison.

You are all short and have funny looking ears.

Last update?

Changes.txt included the following:

1. FMod live studio is now available while off line.
. . .

Which granted my wish for live updates.

I wished for bomb and bailing to be addressed and my recommendation was to give proxy at visual range instead of the ~1.5k it used to be. 

Wow.  Yay AH!  thanks for doing this.

I am just wondering, not trying to be a trouble maker. Is the Wishlist useless ? I have not seen a wish granted in a loooonnngg time. Some wishes are extreme and some are very simple. The biggest thing I see are people arguing and  putting down people for their wishes.  Maybe I have missed something...…… Just wondering.

  I made a wish that the calculated gun sight that is available in the offline practice arena and WWII Online would change color to indicate when the shooter was out of range.  That was implemented pretty quickly.  So you can see that suggestions do get implemented when Hitech sees a good one.

[Mongoose]

No. But I do think it's better if the guy making the suggestion has an explanation for why it is not done that way.

But people don't accept the explanation.  I have seen this happen many, many times.  Hitech patiently explains why something is done or not done a certain way.  The response goes something like this:

"NO!  YOU'RE WRONG!  THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW!  YOU NEED TO MAKE THE CHANGE I SUGGESTED OR THE GAME WILL DIE!"

No, I am not exaggerating.  I have seen these words or close variations over and over again.  And after a while, Hitech stopped responding.  He either implemented the wish, or he didn't.  He stopped explaining why he didn't do certain things because he kept getting flamed.
