There is nothing at all community can demand from the donkey crew in cRPG , not even a better PR. Eventhough ujin has a vital point that things MIGHT be better and im seriously feeling with him in that matter, since he did put so much work into his improvements (for the best of the community, including myself), it can only be a suggestion and hope in a sense of a user of a free mod would make to its developer... and its free choice from the lather one if,when and how he does.
I even fear that donkeys did lean a bit to far out of the window (like we germans say) with some of their statements and agreements - out of best intention surely - but against their own best. Installing a propper organisation, logistics and timelines, admin applications .. all of this has not very much to do with the fun of free time modding. Very soon it became a player/developer relation like almost between a user/company... which never was the case. See what happens if some dev too early states: yeah it will get added some time ? And you wonder why they so rarely comment ? They fear the demands and certain disappointment that would follow in the community that would make them eat up theirselfes,
I am glad with what there is in cRPG its a beautiful game, and its more about the community that got spoiled by the goodwill of the devs and now come and demand too much. Sorry, but i feel it is wrong, and we have to step back a bit ... i even dont mind to give them way more of a slack than they currently use up ... You ever asked what would be if chadz suddenly decides to ditch the whole thing ?
I am significantly drunk right now but i'd like to just point out one thing, maybe dsnot so carefully and quite blatantly so, apologies in advance :
This small community gave chadz and his new project over 30k euros in less than 2 days. I don't want to come out as an asshole , but money DOES talk. It's obvious that we are most grateful to chadz & Co and that we have our most honest trust in his bright future and he has our everlasting loyalty as supporters.
This is a win-win relationship where 99.9 % of success depends on the brilliancy of chadz , Cmp and the othr Devs, and the last 0.01 % relies on the players who can appreciate their work and help them test it, make it better etc.
I hope you can get my point, usually whn im drunk i can still speak my mind... i think
