Arma 3. Roadmap 2016-17 DLC vs Roadmap 2016-17 Feedback.

[lex__1 422]

We always welcome development of Arma3. All this is very good.
I ask not to take offense at my sarcasm in this review. I am disturbed by development of the solution of problems in Arma3 of Feedback.
 The last development of DLC Arma3Apex has caused a lot of controversy and discussions.
The main problem of DLC Arma3Apex - lack of the solution of bug under tickets.
As an example:

Add the ability to adjust length of bipod legs.
  https://feedback.bistudio.com/T82167
 Vehicles can not be destroyed on the water.
  https://feedback.bistudio.com/T119452

These are not all problems of this DLC, there is a lot of them.
The result - the island widely isn't used. Many players have tried Tanoa and have returned on Altis.
The statistics has stubborn character.

Compare the number of players on servers to these islands.

 

Roadmap 2016-17 DLC:

1. JETS DLC. Good prospect on updating. But what us expects? When tickets are solved.

2.TAC-OPS DLC.  Good prospect on updating. But what us expects?
There are many not solved tickets which are confirmed (are considered) and don't decide. What I will see from new DLC in the light of unresolved problems.  
 When tickets concerning lack of good control over UAVs are solved?

     To unite people.
Everything, different category of a problem, create new problems, separates people on players from DLC and players without DLC.

It wasn't after the first DLC.

I can seem impudent now, you will tell that this guy has no patience.
If to look at this branch of a forum, questions are solved much.

But unfortunately numbers of tickets increase, there is a practice of frequent repetitions of problems. Practice of infinite accumulation of problems, disturbs.
All listed above tickets, small part of what waits for your attention and correction. In 1 hour of a game, I face each problem from this review, and not once, and is constant.

 

Ask me - You will buy the following DLC?
Yes I will buy the following DLC, this my respect for work of the BIS team.
Not everything seems will be able to accept me position.

I am strongly disturbed by the course of the solution of problems. We receive problems more often than we receive solutions of problems.
What plans to change the relation in Roadmap 2016-17 Feedback to receive the expected realization of Arma 3 Roadmap 2016-17 DLC?

 

I hope for understanding of this balance.
I hope at you there will be enough strength and patience to solve this problem.
The task is not simple.

So what are you saying exactly? BI should delay any further addition to the game because there's too many bug tickets?

 

Those upcoming DLC will probably offer more detailed or tweaked mechanics as we saw with the Heli DLC and the AFM : there's a good chance some of the most important requests will be adressed then or that others will become obsolete.

Besides, a lot of those tickets you posted seem to be duplicates of old and well known problems or limitations, some others are feature requests rather than bug reports per say...

 

If anything - and that's my own opinion - that roadmap shows that BI is not done with Arma3 and work on it continues : I have no reason to be worried over it at the moment, really.

i hope you will english, because the above is unreadable

The result - the island widely isn't used. Many players have tried Tanoa and have returned on Altis.

 

Altis: 5103 players

Tanoa: 1160

Chernarus: 847

Stratis: 599

I'd say, for a paid map, Tanoa is doing quite ok.

There is no speech about DLC suspensions.

There is a doubt that mistakes old, new, duplicated will remain and will work at new DLC.

As practice has shown, the solution of problems happens slowly.

Considering these mistakes, new DLC can appear it isn't demanded.

- Tanoa: 1160

 

- Everything who has bought DLC Tanoa= ~ 1160? Them it is much bigger.

Considering this experience, and in fact there is no difference old or new DLC will make former mistakes.

I don't need the new tank which flies as former.

The most part of offers on feedback look as a request, but there are offers on the verge of an elementary defect of elements.

Why to me new content of DLC with elements of old defects.

For this reason I want to draw attention to BIS to decisions on feedback.

The problem of productivity of Arma3 remains for many unresolved. Here indicator of this problem:

http://www.gametracker.com/search/arma2/?searchipp=50#search

Or for these people of Arma3 it is simply unattractive?

The golden mean has to be found.

I know many people who, have thrown Arma3 owing to not solved problems from BIS, and I know that many wait for solutions of problems.

[x3kj 1247]

some of the reports on the feedback tracker are badly researched or just plain nonesense. Like tanks not having enough torque and power. Or AA autocannons that should not be dangerous to MBTs. Etc etc. Its these reports that drown the actually important ones and add additional work for the devs to sift through some of the "garbage" to get to the real problems. If you honestly expect to see every "perceived issue" adressed ... then you might as well leave Arma, because its not going to happen.

[lex__1 422]

Article not about that to leave Arma or not. What effect of sales of DLC expects to receive BIS.
I want to buy DLC too. But the product of questionable content, doesn't interest me.

What I new will see in new TANKS DLC? They to fly also? Or even quicker?

https://youtu.be/MlrZEIOQt7I

I don't write the ticket, that at the tank the bottom isn't painted, it is so a shame when turns over upside down)))

The structure of Feedback isn't capable to reduce questions one direction, questions around any
subject.
Today in a branch of development-branch-changelog it is possible to see decisions on tickets of 2013.
Prospect of the decision of tickets for problems of new DLC 2017 approximately in 2020?
Look at numbers of tickets - T119417.
There likely there is more half-fault of tickets on productivities, memory errors, sudden crash of a game and others.
Other half it was dissolved between and has the general broad categories:
- UAV - what?
- Vehicles - what?
- Weapons - what?
There is no general set of tickets to one task.

The lack of informational content on feedback.bistudio.com is also not present the TOP of tickets (the hot ticket)

TOP hundreds of changes in Arma3 feedback for the period from  Sep 12 2016, 16:28 to  Nov 29, 14:51

https://feedback.bistudio.com/dashboard/view/8/

Most of the tickets are closed because:
- repeated
- An unreasonable request
- Unconfirmed request
- Other reasons (use MOD or similar reasons)
There are not more than ten tickets which admit mistakes and make corrections.

Guess - Changes in Arma3 v1.66:
- 95% of new sounds.
- 3% correction of problems.
- 2% of new problems (Traditional)

BIS Thank you for your attention to requests for correction.

Excuse my sarcasm. I do not understand your attitude to corrections.
