Commander Reed Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 This had better be released after your "Tests". Maybe if you release earlier than you usually would you'll actually get some respect from the community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to inform you that the build, today, will enter closed testing. We will inform the usual testers in our closed forum when it becomes available. If all is ok, we will release at the start of next week. Thanks to you very much for the update, I am convince all of us understand you are very busy and none of us will take offense if you do not answer all questions ! We only hope for some news once a week or too like that! Great and looking forward to next week! Thanks again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former Canadian now living in NYC I can assure you many people do mind. Look at the 20+ pages of 0.5 patchlog, they're not okay with them not answering questions. I am more on the side of, I'm just glad nothing serious happened to the team, and I don't necessarily care if they're quiet, but if they miss targets and they're quiet it definitely gets concerning.

CapnAvont1015 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 So with the patch coming out at some point next week which Nations are ya'll gonna pick? I'm gonna pick (if it wasn't obvious already) the German Empire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speglord Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I'll just go with either, I don't really care too much. I'm more excited for the campaign to be fleshed out and for new early-timeline hulls, turrets, and other tech. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptorgalaxy Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Nice to see the campaign is coming along nicely, from the rate of updates it seems that whatever was slowing development has been fixed. I'm rather excited to test the campaign as well. The new tech and hulls look good too, when the campaign is availiable for 1940 it will be good to have some high end tech for those long games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth17 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Glad to see some progress on the campaign. As with all relationships communication was and is key. While some people on here seem to be very excited and others are disappointed it could all have been helped/prevented with better communications. I was discussing with BrotherMunro how the company would benefit so massively from a community manager. Just somebody who updates the community and addresses concerns. Yes, it would be a thankless job at times, to be sure, especially after long periods of going without a patch. Still, it would prevent alienating the community of fans/hardcore followers of this game. The patchlog looks ok in itself, but I've already found myself going "I'll believe it when I see it", especially when it comes to the improved AI behavior. I've seen "Improved AI behavior" in previous patches and was sorely disappointed by the lack of actual progress. This is, again, a lack of communications/failure to deliver. When I'm looking at the immense decline in views on my channel on Dreadnoughts and some comments even calling the project "vaporware" or "abandonware" I feel that the "golden age" for Dreadnoughts might have passed. I'm not so arrogant to say that the amount of views I'm getting are a measure of interest in the game. For all I know it could be Youtube's algorithm. Regardless, people seem to just not care about Dreadnoughts anymore. I hope that the campaign will breathe new life into Dreadnoughts, for the sakes of the developers and us, as a community. I really hope it will also allow for a fresh start, when it comes to communications. But, as before, I'll believe it when I see it. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bugs are minor and not game breaking I say release the patch now and then release another patch one the bugs are fixed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
