He has a fair point.
I haven't had any real cause for complaining about them doing their job but with that being said, it is their job and I do expect them to do it. However, it is holiday time and I afford them some leniency when taking care of problems. And they have done an acceptable job of doing just that. I don't expect instant results, just the knowledge that they are doing the best they can. That's all I can ask for.
I didn't say the whole holiday season.....I doubt they are closing for 2 weeks but to fault them for taking a few days off of Christmas and New Years?
oh my the sky is falling......frontier is not working on Christmas to distribute a new patch for me....boo hoo....
Don't twist what I said into a whiney "doom and gloom" post. You can see just as well as anyone else with a good look at the forums that a lot of people are having major problems with different parts of the game, game-breaking bugs and the like. Things that need to be fixed sooner rather than later. FD made the decision to launch just before the holidays, I don't think they would do that without being prepared to spend the time being very active fixing the major problems that have been arising.
Uhhh, no? I paid money for a working product.
Is it my fault they released just before the holidays? Nope.
There's no "we're on holidays" card to pull when you launch an online only game as a game developer.

Love that line, Rep to you. And so true.
Wonder if I can find my 1541 drive and break out my old disk ;-) Of course then I have to go through that "remlock" protection method UGH.
Yes many people have been having problems. take a look at any forum for any other just released game and you will see the same thing.
as for twisting what you said, my bad. I had read through many posts before yours and saw a lot of griping about FD taking a break and my response reflected that and not anything you specifically said.
I don't know any company that has issued daily patches to fix a game they just released. In my mind FD has treated us quite fairly and have demonstrated that they are supporting this game for the long haul.
I have no issue if they take a break....well deserved in my opinion.
Come on...they didn't "accidentally" release Elite just before Christmas. Now get back down into the Imperial Slave Dungeon and work
Well I for one am delighted with the game as it stands, regardless of some initial frustration.
Yes there are bugs and balance issues but the devs have been *banging* out the fixes and tweaks, honestly I can't comprehend how anyone could be anything other than thrilled at what they're doing.
I couldn't play Far Cry 4 for a *week* after I bought it; just wouldn't even start. Their support service had me in an automated bot queue (pretending to be a real person) for 5 days before a real person even read my ticket. In the end I found a fix myself and I told them so; it took them another 3 days to read that response and stop sending me more gumph and close the ticket.
I work in software development myself and let me tell you, those boys are doing an *unbelievable* job. Merry christmas to the FD team, you guys rock!

I have already given money. A lot of it. Havnt received all of the game that backed though.
I had complete faith that NPC crews and wingmen will be implemented. Others had complete faith for offline mode. Look what happened to those.

If you can show me a *single* crowd funded game that hit it's "promised" features, a single one, I'll give you a cookie.
There will be one. It will snow in space, there will be Christmas lights in the cockpit, and there will be a big wipe for everyone as Facebook buys Frontier Dev.
