I'm using this only as example, but I rarely see documented cases in point of bugs mentioned posted or linked anywhere. It's perfectly possible to use a file post/retrieval service like Dropbox ( http://db.tt/ieqdpshA if you don't have something like this and want one- thanks for putting some extra GBs of storage my way), create a minor scenario that illustrates your found bug and post something that's utterly obvious to all and eminently repeatable. So that one heroic rifle squad can replay its staggering defence unparalleled in the history of warfare as many times as you care to see it- or the programmer needs to crush (debug) it. Can someone put up an example of this that we can all unequivocally see, since I haven't though maybe that's a function of the scenarios I play? Too often bugs seem (to me) nebulously reported and I never see any hard evidence- just it seemed to do this or that... or I found... or it looked like...ORIGINAL: Oberst_Klink
No other person than me would like the issue about the unsupplied, fortified, hero-garrisons with 1 Rifle Squad being fixed... But what to say? Even I am powerless and unable to summon the patch/hot fix sages
Second, items we need answers too in time for Christmas, so we know where to go and what to maybe buy- given these hard times- download-wise:
ORIGINAL: berto
1. Who de jure or de facto owns the TOAW franchise now -- Ralph or Matrix?
Above all, who can answer these Qs? The obvious answer is MG, so it might be nice to hear from MG before we plough more useless effort into a system seemingly destined for extinction. To the particulars above:ORIGINAL: Curtis Lemay
2. We thought we were finally at the point by 3.5 that some serious expansion could be addressed. Unfortunately, that's when Ralph's issues seem to have cropped up. We still don't know why.
3. Games are still being played; scenarios are still being designed. I fully expect 3.5 to be completed. I just can't say when.
4. Hmmm. You mean like a made from scratch TOAW IV? I wonder...
1. Matrix, though Ralph obviously has a copy of the source code. If MG or Ralph know different or there's any dispute, it would be nice if MG could let us know on either count, so we can stop wasting our time spinning our wheels.
2. OK, let's have cards on the table, what are they and how do we (MG, Ralph, the TOAW Community) resolve them? If we know what the problems are, we have step 1 to a solution. Can someone at MG let us know?
3. Yes, and yes, though a lot of design work seems on hold pending 3.5. Who can say when? Again, it would seem only MG, if only to kindly put us all out of our misery and let us know there are no plans, there were but they're on hold because xyz, or sorry but you've been f...f...f...fleeced over, boys, and after I, II, Flashpoint Kosovo, Elite Edition, A COW and III do you really want to bend over for a possible IV too...
4. Hmmm, me too...
So it would seem all questions and roads lead to MG. I know it's the festive season, but is anyone there? With this in mind I still believe in Christmas and Santa and fairies and... well...Ralph... With only 6 days to go, sure that he's looking on, and knowing the character of TOAW fans such as himself, I'm sure he'll chime in with at least a Christmas message to at least temporarily raise or finally dash our hopes...
