INNOCENT&CLUELESS

Hmmmm, nice idea, but would be actually 2 "whiners" vs. 20 "fanboys" @ Maddmatt: There is information? Let's see... oh, yea, the fact that there will be a 1.08, here we have it. "Full support for multiple airports by AI pilots" That is the one that really makes me happy since it gives me the hope that both sides can now utilize 2 different airports for AI. I hope I did not got this wrong. It was an issue since OFP. "New texture detail "Default" that auto-detects the amount of VRAM (Recommended Texture Detail setting for users of cards with more than 512 VRAM)" Did not understand this, means this ArmA detects during installation or at game start the amount of available VRAM and is doing some video settings accordingly? And since I am accused to fuck up this thread: I mentioned several times the need to fix 2166 which hinders the release of so many MP missions.

Scrub, you ignore option 3: Release that what hit me as 1.00 as a demo, and bring that 1.05+ as the first release (would have been still strange). And we old farts could finance BI devs by annual fees. For me it makes a difference to get for 42€ a ruin sold as working game or someone telling me honestly that he needs money and asks for a customer credit. BTW I asked, is 2166 fixed? If not bye bye crCTI and many other missions

Oh, I am not moaning about that they still try to finish the development of ArmA (you used the wrong word patching as I did it several times). I even support this. Maybe there is something wrong with your game browser, I see more than hundred only in the night. Still less then OFP. Read my previous post, I wrote that ArmA is somehow playable since 1.05+ but not like OFP. This is because of so many bugs with the standard addons. Be careful with 100%. I exclude from my considerations the CTDs (I do not have BSODs with 1.07beta2) the remaining bugs left over.... I like that BI tries to solve what they did, I do not like the fanboy mindset that I have to fall on my knees and make into my pants because I should feel lucky to get ANYTHING fixed. They were cheating, they have to fix it.

@ Brainless arguing fanboys: I stated before several times: Taking money by suggesting you get something which in the end is not true is cheating. If I would do this to you in another area you would hang me at next tree. But for BI all this is ok. And BI is so cool that they even state in interviews "k, we needed money so we just released as it is" both this strange Placebo and (2nd hand info) Suma. Just one thing would have made me silent: After BI faced the fact that they can't get it ready in time (which means they do not understand their business) they could have decideded to release it as a demo instead of cash what they have. They could get the cash for 6-12 months from somewhere else as any other company has to do it, even from shareholders (if you decide to turn your company that way). But suggesting that, being in trouble, justifies cheating thousands of customers is almost criminal, and froggy, scrub, Balschow and all the other fanboys sharing this somehow criminal mind set. Strong words, I know, but here is something going really wrong.

Ok, forget all this shit, you are right (whoever it is) and I am wrong. So I hope 1.08 will be as "stable" as 1.05+ and bring the community together that is scattered over 1.05, 1.05+, 1.07beta1 and 1.07beta2 servers. BI is the best company ever.

@ Scub: I even come from a so called socialist country (which it wasn't ever), and since the change I make my money explaining capitalists how capitalism really works This gives me a "very good life", following your suugestions and doing business like it seems to be common in the SW industry might make it a "very very good life" from the financial point of view, but who will brush the teeth of that bastard I see then every morning in the mirror?

At least crCTI is 100% SP and MP ready due to AI scripting.

Strange, usually I am accused that I do not face the reality. It is like the cigarette industry would not consider youngsters same for alcohol producers. I do not whine, we should just replace "bug fixing" with "still developing" and then we would use at least the right wording. So I see, the majority is a strong supporter of cheating and lying in business and feels ok with that. Well, at least I know the common mind set of the usual "wait I found an excuse for BI" -boys now. ANYWAY, 2166 TO BE FIXED OR NOT TO BE FIXED...THAT IS HERE THE QUESTION!

Seems you do not play MP. The servers are full with teen-noobs using ArmA like BF2. I mean most missions except ®Evolution and a few others are arcade style, BerZerk and some TDMs are those examples. They are full, (I must say I am among them). The 5-15 Evolution servers are usually empty except 1-2 with 5-10 players most of the time. So guess where the majority of the cash is coming from. I agree that BI does an impressive development speed with the limited resources they have available. I stated few weeks ago that I consider 1.05+ somehow as playable - not like OFP - but playable. Nevertheless, look into the BTS how far we are away from a decent game that a youngster can install and play a few days bug free SP missions and maybe MP. Call it trolling, I do not care, better then fanboyism.

Maybe I repeat that the ? 10000000th ? time? It is not the 42€, it is more the thing to sell me this as a game ready to use, I had a slight chance to evaluate, even without a demo at which wasn't available, but what about all those kids grabbing the pack in the shop after they got 30-40€ after endless bagging from their parents? Do you thing it is their duty to check this forum before they buy? Can you tell them häne-häne-hääääne own fault - own fault?

yea, sure! because the others doing shit excusing that i do shit. So BI should top it and release Game2 now as it is. Guys you are nuts. Clapping into the hands for fixing bugs they sold us on purpose to get simply cash. You are not high value community members, you are just walking wallets.

@King Billy on Rat Patrol: You do not understand that this is an example for a basic enabler in the engine simply missing. It is like discussing if a car should have wheels or not. This basic feature is the reason why you can not: - have moving carriers where copters, persons, planes moving - you need to specify proxies if you want to sit on a tank - you can not simply jump into a boat - you can not fire from/out of any vehicle - Copters can not load vehicles just like that (workaround deletvehicle when loading, createvehicle when unload) There are some workarounds with odd side effects in MP. I hope they will find the money to make it part of Game2. The problem with this example is that you must properly simulate collision + inertia + drag to be able to jump onto any moving thing. If money is an issue they should tell us honestly before they sell. I stated several times that I am open to pay an annual fee for game + support.

Ancient is the word that expressing the missing ability to copy parts of other simulation functionality that proved to be almost perfect. It goes hand in hand with BIs inability to implement the ancient ability of other game engines to jump onto another moving item and move freely without using the strange proxies. From time to time it is ok to steal from others.

Baddo my dear! The thing is that trust is gone with ArmA. I do not expect an answer like "No, we are stupid", rather a more or less honest statement how BI is scheduling the resources and how the priority is. I guess BI unfortunately lost a lot of the reputation they got with OFP due to ArmA. The same again with Game2 would be the death for BI I am afraid. Both leaving the impression that the community can expect Game2 (including multi-core support) soon and on the other hand bringing "we are a small company" as excuse for everything that went wrong with ArmA does not fit together. If BI would try to keep the expectations low or hmmmm or more honest or....more realistic, such a thing that happens currently with ArmA could be avoided. http://www.bistudio.com/games/of2.html Expected release.......2008 http://www.bistudio.com/presspages/pcpressrelease.html Q42006...it became true for ArmA I guess that is from the time before they decided to make ArmA as a cookie since Game2 might take longer... So maybe BI should ask someone to go over their page content and edit it a little bit.
