Can you link the part where I say they "Disconnect"? Geez, is it me or have you just misquoted me more than once. Talk about selective reading.... Speaking of nice responses, was your original one about FD apparently hiding from the world or that a response of "they're busy" won't cut it kind-of attitude. Come on, the door swings both ways here. I don't agree with the majority of "concerns" threads that I've seen, many are baseless and full of gross assumptions in assuming we have it all. Which, logic dictates if we had - we'd already have the finished game and be playing it. Yet, they persist in attempting to paint this picture of a finished, lacking product not fit to be played by the world at large and that some imaginary critique of gamers will send it to scrap heap on release.
Shok.
Yes, I now see that what you wrote was "What exactly are you afraid of and assume everyone else is in fear and discontent?" and not "What exactly are you afraid of and assume everyone else is in fear and
disconnect?". That was carelessness on my part and for that I apologise. Is the OP invalid because of this? I don't think so.
The problem here is that while I was careless and made a mistake you have decided to misrepresent (or at least exaggerate) what I wrote (as outlined in my initial response to you). Sadly in your most recent post you have again resorted to this trick . Please note I never said that Frontier were "hiding from the world". I suggested that there is a management decision not to directly interact with the negative opinion - at least the threads on this forum - and that this was a mistake as it
perhaps indirectly fomented discontent. I then asked for opinions on why this is. The rest of your post is an irrelevance and I'll not address it.
Just to understand how I see the development of this thread. I started by asking why Frontier have been quiet of late. Some people responded by suggesting that they are too busy. I don't think is a credible response for a company with community managers but I appreciate that they will still disagree with me. Others have pointed me in the direction of Ed lewis's
recent posts or Facebook. Neither of which I think address the point of my OP. So I could I be wrong and Frontier are actively communicating since the 7th in a way that addresses the discontent? Sure! If this is the case then I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. The problem is I've not yet received such direction. Instead, I get the likes of yourself, Shok, second guessing my motivations while all the time reading my words in the
worst possible light.
I'm not criticising the game nor the efforts or skill Frontier staff in getting to this point. Rather, I'm questioning whether they have dealt with the negativity in the best manner. Indeed, the video in the most recent newsletter certainly helped me adjust my thinking from "It wont all be ready on the 22nd. The horror!" to something more along the lines of "Well, the game I wont wont be ready on the 22nd and that's because my expectation were too high. It will take a long time to get there and I've got to be a bit more patient". For some strange reason I've decided not to respond to people who have actually bothered to address the OP and instead I'm humouring you and your aggressive posts. I'll stop that now, Shok, and instead simply wish you a good evening.
