Community update, helloooo?

Duly noted. :wink:

Welp, 10 days into the new year and still nothing.

I wonder what all those CMs do with their days.

Im genuily wondering. What else do they do? I can understand gathering data / feedback but… what else?

no they didnt earn it. they would have earned the break if they delayed the launch. they didnt so f em fix the game already.

There is some devs that update more the community… and they are at war with russians.

Mostly consolidation of feedback, presenting it to stakeholders (devs, mgmt, etc) and representing the customers, work with PR, marketing, and legal on what to reply to the user community.

What do you do? How familiar are you with dev and software lifecycles? If you are in the industry, be specific with your criticism and share what you would do. If you are not, please respect that you may not understand the complexity and duties of the jobs of anyone at Fatshark (or other game companies).

IMO FS has some bitter pills to swallow, but I respect the individual contributors and how hard they work, no matter their job role.

I have a love-hate relationship with Fatshark atm. I am very disappointed that they botched the endgame in such unacceptable fashion, but at the same time the game only is 40 bucks and I already have 150+ hours into it…

The devs absolutely earned it, it’s not their fault management shipped a broken game to get it on the books for 2022. But yeah, the fire is on to fix it now since the game is shipped and people have every right to require that it actually works. I will, however, no matter what state the game is in ever recommend developer crunch and I would be even more angry if I found that that was the case.

Yeah, there’s some extraordinarily glaring issues with the game, but it’s still easy to log a lot of hours in what’s there.

imagine the big update that will come. must be huuuuge.

Please be respectful to people at FS who are celebrating New Year’s eve tomorrow (Julian calendar) and those who will celebrate it in 10 days (Lunar New Year).
I don’t expect updates before February unless FS wants to look insensitive to these cultures.

I’m joking, of course, but seriously, I feel like a lot of people here are just waiting for an update so that they can have something new to be outraged about.
You people are putting too many eggs in this “community update” basket. It’s a red herring.
We need an overall improvement on communication, not just these major official updates.
For example, CMs could compile a short list of major pain points and concerns and just let relevant people around the office about them without any promises or official statements, or focus on a particular subject such as “crafting” or “UI” etc.
Just normal communication instead of these periodic “big” announcements that seem to just generate more controversies.

Damn it’s my first fatshark game i own.
But this explains alot.
Now i will stop reading reddit and official fatshark forum.

Once your worldly reputation is in tatters, the opinion of others hardly matters

Holy Boltgun… this one hit home.

Has been happening since I started played V2 in 18’. Lol.

Holy cows that guy who wrote the Reddit post is a prophet. It’s crazy how accurate he is. It’s more crazy that Fatshark somehow manages to repeat that tainted cycle AGAIN with Darktide, it seems.

Welp, guess I’ll uninstall it from my PC now and stop waiting for the endgame to change. I’ll come back somewhere 2024, I guess?

Honestly, you don’t need to be a prophet to realize a pattern is repeating every single time.

Because this has been the case for every single FS release.

A message as simple as “we’ re working on this crap guys” would be enough at this point …

Can I somehow upvote your post more than once? Most based stuff posted here in a while.

No, it would not… I don’t want talks… I wait for what is missing and was planned to be added before the end of the last year (crafting).
They implement that, they continue to work on fixes for the crashes and all will be good. We can wait they made their port for console before they give us new contents.
By the way… is there really so many people interested by such game on a console ? there is lot of guns in this game. I know that gamepads are great for melee, but it is really a pain for FPS.
Also, with the lack of crossplay…
