Every time he posts one here I cringe cause I know it is only a matter of time before we end up right here. Its not hard to give us an update on the progress of the patch, even a simple "its taking longer than expected to fix" would be fine 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) This thread will be closed soon. That seems to be the normal procedure here nowadays. Always same pattern. Insult those who are critical. Let it escalate and then close the thread. But it shows us two facts. 1.A lot of people are getting pretty frustrated about the lack of decent information 2. Nobody seems to understand what's going on anymore, not even those who defend BF no matter what.

Yeah I am with Ian on this one. He and I are both beta testers and I didn't become aware of this one until in the middle of a pbem months afterwards. Not sure where you came up with this one but as far as I know it is completely false. Sounds like a mis-communication somewhere along the line or someone being mis quoted. Where you are correct is it was known a few months before January. January is when I think Steve posted that things were moving ahead on the AI reaction. If it were simply a matter of reverting that behavior any of us can do that now utilizing 3.0. BF however has additional AI behavior in 4.0 that no one wants just tossed so yeah it takes a bit of time to make sure the patch isn't released and right after someone says "hey wait when I do X.... the game is totally broken!" Also as @sttp noted it isn't the only issue that has been pointed out. 1 hour ago, sid_burn said: This is rich coming blah blah blah blah whatever. You make unsupported accusations. I give at least circumstantial evidence to the contrary. You give nothing but indignant responses to being asked to provide at least some kind of information to back up your claims including the really stupid one of suggesting you'll have to pay for a patch which BF has never charged for. I'd also watch that location note of smashing delusional fanboys - BF has shown very little tolerance for that kind of attitude. Your choice, but I at least gave you a heads up. 2 hours ago, Sulomon said: Small businesses do "limp along" for 20 years. No, no they don't. Half fail in the first 5 years. Survival past there is a mark of success not a matter of limping along. If you are limping, you are in the fail process and it won't take 20 years to find that out. Be nice if you guys would just bother to do just a little research before spouting out this kind of nonsensical crap. Really google and read just a little bit. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140915223641-170128193-what-are-the-real-small-business-survival-rates/ That doesn't mean you guys can't and shouldn't gripe for updates. Hell if you didn't like the product you wouldn't bother. Just don't try and make the lack of comms from Radio BF more than it is. They just don't do that sort of thing. It doesn't reflect a lack of of appreciation or health of the business or difficulties with the patch. It is just how these guys work. You don't have to like it, but you also don't need to create some bizarre rationalizations for why. They just don't do it and never really have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 A depressing side-effect of this patch-fix dragging out is that no final testing and balacing of the future modules can be done until BFC has found a proper fix for the V4 update. If the patch will change the AI behavior again then the scenarios/campaigns will need some additional testing/ tweaking ones the patch is done. Resulting in no new modules being released either right now...we might be in for quite a wait... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianl tries to do the same in his own clumsy way. ☺ i know you guys mean well, but really guys how long do we have to wait for some decent update? For crying out loud, even the news that the modules will be released on the 2nd of February 2019 would be welcome...

Like I said, provide an actual argument and I’ll bother to actually engage it. The Baghdad Bob routine you are pulling isn’t an argument “the 4.0 patch is coming guys, ignore the tanks rolling behind me.” Also lmao did you just try and throw out a little threat? Oh no I might get banned from an Internet forum, 😭 if it’s so offensive, I’ll remove it. Wouldn’t want to offend the real snowflakes, as @IanL would say It took @Rinaldi and @IICptMillerII pointing out the 4.0 glitch for it to even be acknowledged. Gotta wonder if this whole issue could have been avoided if BFC hired some competent beta testers off indeed.

It was a simple notification that you are pushing a button that BF has been known to be short of patience with. As to the "competency of beta testers" if that was meant to get under my skin it is pretty laughable.

In that case, I truly sympathize with him. I began to notice a few years ago that nearly everything that I do was starting to take three or four times as long as it used to and that I had expected it to continue to do. Now, I don't know how old exactly Steve & Charles are, but giving that they have been working on CM for well over 20 years and that they had already been in the business long enough to have considerable experience in it, I'd hazard the guess that they are starting to get into that twilight area where they notice that gravity has increased strangely and that the clocks run faster. So have patience with us old codgers. You may wind up someday looking at life through this end of the telescope too. If you don't wander into an open manhole first.

You may need to adjust your planning and tactics, and I can understand that some players may find that uncomfortable. But I for one have always felt that the troopers in CM were always quite a bit more superhuman than the ones on the battlefield, so for me, the change is at least in the right direction if in need of a little tuning.

Michael Partially agree but not to the extent of the behavior in 4.0. With relatively little arty you can get troops to abandon their defenses. The problem in 3.0 was the suppressive effects weren't really working. It was fine that infantry didn't abandon their foxholes, but they didn't stay suppressed by incoming fire even to keep their heads down. Now you can drop a few 81mm mortar rounds and suddenly folks want to go sunbathing in the grass. To your point the balance act is somewhere in between and also has to accommodate other possible reactions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
