Why all the screaming & yelling????
« on: October 24, 2000, 09:34:00 AM »
Fact is that HT & Co make the game. They decide what they want and do it.

It's our choice to either

A play (and pay for it)
B not play

Everytime in the past that some plane or vehicle got to be TOO well liked, or TOO Uber something has come along to even the playing field.

So call this my "Whineing about the osty whiners" post.

Just remember 3 simple rules

1 In flight sims EVERYONE DIES!
2 Some die less than others. (doesn't mean they enjoy it more, just that they die less)
3 HT decides what we get and what we don't get. (And he listens to us WAY more than I would were I in his shoes!)

Ours is a simple play-don't play decision.  

(Gone flyin & diein, feel free to flame away,
getting cool up here in ND, could use the heat!)

Being a native Minnesotan, do you know why the football fields in N.D. are always Astro-turf?

Also being a native Minnesotan, do you know why it's so windy in Minnesota?

Because Iowa sucks and ND blows!

I guess that HT & Co. likes to hear some feedback about bad issues as well as other game makers that does updates all the time..

Though.. I guess those "I hate osties" sort of topics and message in those are less interesting feedback..

At least I appreciate feedback that has wrote without "i hate it!" attitude..
Feedback of bad and good (good = that are perfect and should not be changed) about my WWII mod has been nice.. at least when thinking ways to improve it.

Though, 90% of that 'feedback' is usually less interesting.. (as it is really not so as described in the feedback)

Back to the thread (hehe), I think HTC would filter out the whines about this and that if they believe there is a valid 'tactic' in place to prevent 'dweebery'...ie, someone whines about Osties, but yet, Osties have a base they spawn from, therefore, ignore whiners since base can be destroyed...get my point?  At least I would hope they filter some of this.

Much as I dislike all the whining, it does serve a purpose. The whines, and kudo's, all serve to let HTC know how they are serving us, the customer, with their product. Believe it or not, this IS a service company and makes it's living from pleasing it's customers. If there was no feedback we'd still be in version 1.0 with only a few patches to fix obvious bugs and and planes enjoyed by the staff.

As long as the feedback is done in a "constructive criticism" manner the information is of value. Simply saying something is "porked" only says you are unhappy, not that something is wrong.

Please, lets keep up telling HTC about the game and help them to make it better. They need to now what is wrong and, maybe just as importantly, what is right as well.
