A community divided by a game that went astray of its original vision

what more do we need aside from the links I've listed to all the lists I've made?? I know everybody has different wishes, but I think I have covered the majority of major issues, and anything that is popular gets noticed by the community. The most popular threads include track smoothing, scenery addons, expansions, management etc...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I would trust a collaborative tool to better represent the interests of a community over one mans curated list any day of the week, no matter how stalwart he was in his efforts.


no point in creating another place on a different website for a smaller group of people to use

This is fair and it is a valid point, but your next paragraph kind of proves why it might be useful...

People have suggested ways to improve the forums, such as dividing the suggestions section into 2 separate categories (one for new ideas, one for improving current/existing features) and better blueprint categories, but it seems even the admins and Brett have gone afk for quite some time at this point :(

I guess all I'm saying is, there is a tool readily available and free to use that we could use to track, categorise and vote on issues that we as a community feel are most important. Will it make any difference in the long run? Probably not. But IF you wanted such functionality, here is one option.

Do you realize how simple it would be for the devs to add a voting system to the forums? Yet they chose not to even though many people have requested a like/dislike system, in fact when people post polls from other sites the devs delete/block them and claim it is unwanted. People can voice their opinion and the loudest consensus of ideas will generally surface to the top. Creating a separate place for people to vote will only give you a fraction of a fraction of the fan base, and more people post on here anyway so...

if you think my efforts are insufficient, please feel free to pinpoint exactly what I've missed? otherwise you have not really accomplished anything since you have yet to say exactly what is it you want or dislike about my list of common suggestions and requests :) we are on the same team here btw and polls are much less collaborative as they are often biased and heavily limited compared to the freedom and full expressions of writing and discussing with a back and forth dialogue

If there is something I missed, or something you dislike about "my" ideas then lets discuss it in detail and maybe we can improve those ideas together ... but so far the only idea of yours I've heard is to create a poll, do you have any other ideas?

You cant claim that all my posts are just from "one" person, considering how many responses of people there are that are in agreement with me, you make it sound as if all of my posts are ignored or disagreed with... lol my lists of suggestions are very common requests and very purposefully important [up] have you actually read any of them?

feel free to reply to my lists and lists of posts with some actual depth :) any sap can click a button and vote but it takes a little more to passionately write out a full essay am I right? its kind of funny that you would think putting a poll together would actually accomplish more than reading, writing, and actual conversation lol... based on your name you seem to be obssessed with massive poles (jk)

anyway, its not like the devs ever listen to my requests lol, like I said before Bo specifically said expansions were not in the plans, although I am still hoping they are just being secretive [yesnod] oh and have a nice day!

My guy works with computers and he's saying same thing about Windows 7. But I am clinging to it. I hate the font render on newer versions. I hate 7 too but with lots of workaround I can get it to look ok. (I have super brutal hard issues with Cleartype (color artifacts) and even with lots of hacks it still lingers in newer versions).

And Windows 7 is still being updated here, so...... Not gonna give up. :)
 
I work with computers and servers. Microsoft said that windows 7 is no longer supported company based. So i think that for home users it is just a question of time before they do it also there.

You may work with computers, but you are still wrong lol

Can you guys keep it on topic or shall we lock this thread since the discussion seems to go off-topic every now and then?
 
PC has gone "off the rails".

The way I see it is, there are a handful of people who are making wonderful amazing superfluous creations that are very artistic, and well beyond my abilities even as a long-time player of this genre. There are a handful of people who make pretty good money by posting videos of this game on Youtube. And many other players who are left feeling left "in the dust" so to speak. But really, it comes down to how much time and effort you put into the game. Personally, I just enjoy viewing others creations as a spectator (at least for now) cuz I still miss certain aspects of RCT3 like grids for terrain shapes and walls!

When PlanCo first launched I was not that impressed, but I have to say the team has done a decent job at improving some aspects of the game, even though they may have ignored a big chunk of things. I think we can safely assume that PlanCo has the potential to carry its name into a franchise that will have a very dedicated fan base to it for many years to come, and I also think that not many other companies will be able to compete with Frontier in this genre. Maybe thats a bad thing, maybe the lack of competition is bad. I certainly think Atari is far worse though.

The gameplay is the same as it was from the beginning.

What do you want changed when it comes to gameplay?
 
All building tools have flaws in them that make them frustrating and annoying to use.

For management, lack of balance has the same effects.

Barely any of these things has been improved.

Of course, whether these things are bothersome to you is subjective. However, the fact that these problems still exist and have not been improved at all is not.
