It's still the most active forum on this site!
Even after a year![:D][:D][:D]

PBEM opponents? Go to Battlefront. com.
That's where I find fresh meat for older games.[;)]

There is a distinct tendency to hammer anyone who does mention the problems. Plus, i think the people saw that they were not going to get resolution on any problems they mentioned - the game is supposedly "finished" except for bug fixes.

I'm sorry you feel that way - I've seen a pretty fair share of skirmishing from all sides, though I may not read every thread.

Please also note that "finished except for bug fixes" means problems are still being addressed, though not new feature requests. Have you taken a look at the v1.52 limited beta?

Regards,

- Erik

Erik -

i was NOT referring to official 2x3/matrix policy when i say (and still say) people get hammered for expressing dissatisfaction. However, i DO think it is the de facto policy of the forum - whether it is from the majority of the members, or a vocal minority is a matter for discussion, perhaps.

I put "finished" in quotes to refer to the announced policy that there would be no future expansions of features, but 2x3/matrix will address bugs. i think 2x3/matrix is very active in addressing these problems.

i have not seen the 1.52 patch info - i was under the impression that 1.51 was in "beta", i.e., not ready for general release. i will check this out, however.

I notice you got "hammered" ( a little anyway ) for even daring to say people get "hammered" !!!

There are a few issues which have been beaten to death over and over ... interestingly one of them was ASW ... and while a few of us complained and complained and got told we were banna-men and that ASW was working perfectly ... well hey 1.5 actually went a long way towards fixing ASW !!! ... so I'll take the whippin' ... if you guys'll keep on fixin' !!! ( hey I was born in GA ) ...

All in all I'd say people are more busy playing and less busy grumbling ... at least the ones I know ... so that is probably a good thing.

( but B17s take too many losses to Japanese fighters !!! [:D] )

I haven't been here much lately. I'm scared to play again. My life went to s*** for a while. No sleep, dreamt in hexes, etc.

Also have been addicted to SH3, despite the bugs galore. Thinking of delving into an Allied PBEM soon though.

I lurk here every day, but haven't had as much time to post because I'm in a PBEM with Cap and Gown. I figure I should be making my moves, not posting. :P

Anyway, I think this place is doing just fine. Still quite busy -- busier than most of the boards here.

i just stopped checking because everything turns into the same old agruements everytime. it is kinda funny, one night i was bored, (i work nights), so i looked back to see how many times the agruement of which is a better air-to-air gun, the .50 or the 20mm (ok, i was really bored) (i'm not going to tell you how many times. in the voice of Nelson from "The Simpsons"...heeaa hheeaaa)

I know I've been away for a while but I wasnt expecting this place to go so completely dead. I mean, there's nothing here anymore aside from inconcequential complaints about nothing at all. C'mon, guys.

Well it's been a year already! I guess I respectfully disagree with you, I think the participation is quite good considering when the game came out and how this is truly a very limited market game.

Heh - how 'bout that![:)]

Interesting comment about the debate threads. Several interesting debates that have been about WW2 but not about WITP directly have been pretty quickly excised and stuck on the general forum. If the comment was correct (and i think it is at least in part), that might have a general calming effect on the forum, and also make it less interesting.

Problem is that it's the act of playing the game that keeps bringing up "what the he11" occurances that lead to new threads. The current "B-17" thread was started by a Japanese Player who planned an ambush of his opponants heavy bombers; only to find that even he was amazed and mystified by the results.

People just give up in the face of entrenchment. After a while one realizes nobody really gives a shiite.[8|]
