Update on Communication

I don't get this. Why is it needed to work "incredibly hard" to get information out of your own company. This is an indicator of how things are working in frontier.

Is not the inclusive "we", when used in a thread in which you have also participated a correct assessment?

If you wish, I could edit the original post to exclude those contributors who are comfortable to make a post but have no wish to be included in an assessment of said responses, in order to not fall foul of the "discuss the post, not the poster" rule.

Participants of the thread who are discussing an 'interesting' statement made by the "Lead Community Manager", which has generated 32 pages of responses so far, might, logically, be part of an inclusive, surely?

Editing posts is allowed, and editing a post after it has been quoted does not change the contents of the quote. The forum software also adds a message to say the post has been edited if more than a minute or so has passed. I often use this to correct typos or missing words, it can of course be used maliciously but it isn't the topic at hand. Report the post & a moderator can look into it rather than replying & potentially exacerbating the situation imo.

A significant chunk of this (and many) threads is banter & trolling (light-hearted or otherwise), so using the post or page count as an indication of outrage is a bit misleading. Removing off-topic posts (like the discussion we are currently having) will help that (if they are deemed to be over the line).
 
putting me serious head on for a moment, I get the impression there's not enough cm's for the games they have, "our" cm's are being pulled into other projects with the latest one being 40k, what else have they got coming this year? F1 is it? cant see it changing much now

Or it was always intentional to go silent for the first few months of 2022 while they get their ducks in a row. I doubt it was intentional for them not to have CM's ready to promote the Warhammer game.

Edit: Just checked their careers page and they only have one vacancy for a CM role.
 
I think this thread should have been locked several pages ago. Apart from the OP there is nothing of value in the last thirty plus pages. -posting and griping adds nothing. Just my Ten Cents'.

An announcement was made. Some find the announcement lacking. Move along, nothing to see here.

It's not not locked yet, so feel free to join us in this handcart to hell.

There is a wannabe moderator on the thread though, although quite choosy I suspect.

For some reason that made me laugh more than anything else in this thread :ROFLMAO:

How many TTEs to join? Or is membership based on stuphz hazzed? :unsure: I mean I try to haz stuphz whenever I can but BottomHat hoovers it up like a... well, hoover

You have to be quick out the blocks to beat me to stuphz old chap! ;)
 
As we are ontopic, what is your opinion on the ADS? I really like the way it improved exploration personally, but perhaps it isn't for everyone.

I would rather prefer a discussion about why Supercruise Assist cannot be chained to the invaluable ADC for automatic landings, so that you can get you another beer in the meantime or else. 🤷‍♂️

As for expectation management, which the OP was all about, we get that ED is not sunshined and several new things are scheduled, but obviously it is not possible to share any details yet. Maybe the internal timeframe cannot be met, maybe there are other problems, maybe it's just wiser not to 'promise' anything due to past experiences. While the game is nearly there where it should have been a year ago, there seems to have been a change in communication strategies since 2022 which was contrary to last year's approach (even though they always had kind of an Humpty Dumpty style on saying anything before as well ("When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."), but the reason is completely unknown. Could also mean something big is to be announced; mind the current Frontier FY ends in just a few weeks, and notably no words on a console release anywhere. But then, if it were cancelled or delayed until dies irae, I doubt a CM would go to lengths to get approval to share such facts, and approval is apparently required. So we happily wait and hope for the best. Meanwhile, the rage goes on.

O7,
