Donkey team no longer developing M:BG / OKAM

[StonedSteel]

lol if i remember correctly one of the arguments good ole siegbert used when we started bitching about okam was "just because you are good at one game, that means you will be expert at this?" not exact quote but something along those lines ya.
we literally had to explain to him how people who are good at shooters will instantly transition into other shooters and being able to pick it up and comment on the combat instantly.

mindnumbingly obvious common sense shit just *whistle sound* right over the fucking head.

Well native is your go to game of skill is it not? Last I understood from you is that you hated crpg.

ill always love warband, like many other crpg players it will easily go down as my favorite\most played game of all time and crpg has played a big role in that.
last i understood is that most players hate what crpg has become.

i do recall getting into it with both you and heskey, though to be fair, the bold part of your quote is true, you did indeed fully admit to being a casual.

Not sure either if those were my exact words but it could be possible. I would say it's more likely to be decent in this kind of game if you played similar games before. That's true for Okam as well.
Most people I heard about, complained about the basic controls not being the exact same like Warband's. An argument I heard for games like Chivalry, too. Yet I didn't find it particularly hard to transition to either of those games.

I wouldn't describe myself as a casual. I spent 1,3k hours in Warband and played in a couple of clans. Of course there were always people way better than myself and this will likely always be the case. So, make of it what you will.

but to suck that much dick and defend complete bullshit like the steampage being totally inaccurate and misleading, then be dumb enough that it takes over six fucking months to realize the bleedingly obvious, then come back over here to rant and rave about how terrible the game is and how much we were mislead...and how the fucking steampage isnt accurate?

I criticized them from the very beginning for that.

[Sigibert]

Tbf I don't remember you or anyone else really defending the inaccurate steam page description. It was a weird decision by them to put things in there that clearly weren't in the game yet from the beginning and it became all the more irritating with each month passing. All I remember is a couple of players continuously bugging the devs and publishers to change it already and them never responding to it until recently.

Interestingly I've just discovered that cos of the algorithm the Wayback Machine uses to take snapshots, certain threads on the old forum were actually active enough at certain times to be archived. The forum peaked at late August/early-September and some of the more popular threads survive (though not all pages). It's been a fun read.

I have to agree with what you said above but with one big addition both from memory and evidenced by the pages archived.
- Only one person even mentioned the Steam page on launch, and it was Jambi. And nobody argued with them (apart from one randomer from outside the community who very politely disagreed), and nobody backed Jambi up, and nobody upvoted Jambi (apart from Gravoth's token vote). Because it was Jambi.

I think some of the people claiming they voiced prophetic words of wisdom on launch need a little reality check.

Let's see what the cRPG community had to say in the "Combat too different than Mount and Blade" thread from the 20th August:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160904034656/http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net:80/index.php?topic=843.0

The only ones in this community who can claim they voiced their doubts in this thread are Neresto, Painmace (tho he later retracts) and Jona (although still holding out hope).

Let's see what the cRPG community had to say in the "OKAM Released on Steam!" page on 25th August:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160831085459/http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net:80/index.php?topic=1023.0

Again, only Jambi seemed to have an issue with the page, in the thread talking about the page. I remember skimming the post at the time but it was Jambi so there was really nothing to say.

And the cRPG community's response to "The Epic (Fail) Launch":
https://web.archive.org/web/20160910120110/http://forum.ofkingsandmen.net:80/index.php?topic=1521.30

Of course as you can see I'm overwhelmingly defending the devs, whilst the rest of you clamour to give your real opinions xD

Sep 02, 2016, 09:57 amWouldn't be the first big countdown timer that wasn't 100% accurate xD

Just in general avoid those.

To this day the cRPG forum still has 00:00:00 across the top banner because we had a countdown once that also ended with a lot of waiting.

3 pages in and we must be the first non-'we love you donkeys' posts in that thread. Wassat? I guess I claim joint credit for one of the first post-fail roasts.

Hey man you know I like you but dude you have way too much free time dont waste your life wtf

It really doesn't take that long to scrawl through Wayback archives, it's relatively easy when you get used to it. Given the collective push in the EU and other "freedom" and "free speech" loving western countries to further censor the internet of wrongthink I think it's something everyone should learn how to do.
