Default Re: Devs somewhere?

The Devs are out there, we got a patch not that long ago. However, they are not full time at this and do not tend to get involved too much in the forums. Quite some debate has raged back and forth about price and quality, but the reality is that this is an unusual game, the Devs are unusual guys and changes will come when they come.

One of the lead designers over at Paradox addresses this issue rather neatly in his signature when he quotes Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings. Something to the effect of “A Patch is never late, it arrives precisely when the Developer thinks it should.”

This reminds me the times when all awaited the exit of Dom 3. Whenever one asked "When will be out? I've payed for this!" a group of good boy to answer "Shut up unfaithful! The latter it will arrive the better so lots of things will added!". It simply does not make sense.

I'm watching lots of very good ideas in the forums going away and reappearing 2 years later and going away. I see a lot of effort put in the bug thread being messed up.
It is only a little complain, a little scratch on this beatiful game.

I'm not knocking the devs, they are great guys. However, the bug thread as it currently stands is rather useless for the reasons cited.

The IW guys deserve a break after the last patch, and I'm all for giving them one. Especially since it will allow me to finish my current projects and provide as complete lists of real issues and potential issues as possible.
