No, it's not wrong. Please don't tell me that in your lifetime you never complained about being promised one thing and delivered something different -- doesn't happen.
I didn't say I've never complained, I said that in THIS market, complaining will almost definitely not affect change. The burger analogy doesn't work because that entire market is based on customer satisfaction. The entire game industry, music industry and movie industry DO NOT rely on customer satisfaction. Therefore, the analogy is bust.
No, it's not a fully biased opinion. I've seen it with my own eyes and so has everybody else. And what other arguments? Realistically there aren't any other arguments. So, Epic did GOW, too. Big deal! Valve has put out more games than Epic has and always keep them updated & addressed issues in a timely fashion. So have other game companies. Although, I do believe Midway put the heat on them to release it before they really wanted to.
There are plenty of things I could say here, but it would be frivolous. The patches for UT3 have contained as many or more fixes than the patches for previous UT games. Saying otherwise is just silly. Compare the length of the changelogs please.
What you're really saying is that they are not fixing the things you want fixed, which makes your argument arbitrary and subjective.
LOL -- How could you possibly know Epic doesn't have the time or money to address the issues with the game? Are you an accountant of theirs that lives in their office full-time?
I don't need to. Supporting a game after it comes out costs money with a guarantee of no money in return. So how can you even try to counter this argument?
Didn't think so. I never said anything about the UI hurting more the game more than custom content problems -- you're way off base and totally out in left field there. Fact is, I haven't had much of a problem with custom content, other than custom characters and server redirect. Certainly, the server redirect issues can be frustrating for full-time online players -- that, I know we agree on.
I never said that you said that. I probably did make it seem like I was putting words in your mouth, and that was unintentional so I am sorry. However, my point is still there uncontested. Epic is going to go through all the issues, identify the most painful ones, and put those at the top of their todo list. The ones that aren't causing any pain at all will go at the bottom, and if your issue is hardly affecting anyone, then you can count on it being down there.
Many people have complained about the UI and that is the only reason that I brought it up. The custom content issues were a major game breaking problem, as far as I'm concerned, anything that makes running custom content on a server difficult is a major problem, considering that almost all of the populated servers in every previous UT game are running tons of mods.
Considering that he addressed issues that he shouldn't have had to in the first place, I would say, yes he has -- he's given me incentive to play the game again.
That's your prerogative or whatever. But the fact of the matter is, he could have made a new UI even if the Epic one were perfectly acceptable. That's what people do when they make mods.
Did he fix the dedicated server? No, but the problem is Epic hasn't really fixed it either, it's still broken and don't broadcast multiple servers on one machine correctly anymore. MapMixer eliminated the need for me to run multiple servers on one machine, so that me and others who play can enjoy different gametypes from one single server alone. Did he develop the game or make the content for the game? No, but Epic should have hired him and paid him to do so & I'll bet money against you that there's more people that will agree than disagree on that one.
What the crap are you talking about? There are hundreds of server hosts running UT3 on virtualized game servers...
Don't sound so puked out about it & there's no "maybes".
Why? It sounds like a subjective thing to me... he hasn't done a great job of supporting people that don't care about MapMixer somehow, has he?
Now that statement there smacks of a biased opinion. Especially in light of the fact that one man was able to implement features into the game, that an entire development team -- for whatever reason -- didn't, in spite of untold numbers of requests, not only here, but at the official forums as well. Go figure.
Did you read my post? Obviously you did because you responded to it above, so did you just forget what you read by this point?
Epic doesn't have limitless amounts of time to throw at whatever the hot topic of the day is. Maybe they are working on a UI replacement and are just not happy with it yet. You don't know what they are working on, and that is the core of the problem.
Of course Epic could change whatever they wanted about the game. They made it for Pete's sake! The fact that one person did something that Epic didn't do isn't some amazing thing, he did it because Epic hasn't done it. Plus, he did it in his spare time, pro bono. Something which I doubt someone at Epic would want to do.
And why would you have any problem with that? You didn't earn those dollars -- I did.
I just find it silly that you'd like to not have UT3 and give your money to someone who made a mod for UT3. Doesn't make a lot of sense now, does it?
