Well, I must say thanks for the mod tools announcement is sure as hell was very cool! So thx for that, However The PC version of this game is plague with nonsense, We're all here begging and pleading for you guys to let us know what the hell is going on, I have clan mates who are interested BUT I will NOT recommend the game to them in it's current state?

So my point is why on earth does a company like CRYTEK svck so much these days in communicating with it's client base, I REALLY don't care if the game sold more on that other platforms, YOU MADE the game available for PC players and we bought it with the notion that Crytek will support and communicate it's progress and whatever goes with it AS YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. What we got instead was quite the opossite as this forum clearly portrays that most of your customers are SERIOUSLY unhappy. I don't know to much about about running a business BUT I do know that if you piss on your legit customers then your business won't do so well?

SO PLEASE, Communicate what you're doing to fix the game, and I reckon people will start paying more attention to your title and remember we deserve just as much attention as "console players" WHY because I paid you for your semi functional product...

First thing which you need to know...

Company CEO will never respond to a forum post, they have people to do it. And he won't respond not because he don't want to but because this is how huge companies policy works.
Also there is nothing to say in matter of what they doing right now, because everything was already said, which means they are working on things which was announced like for example DX11. Is this so hard to understand that there is no point in making announcement about them working on DX11 since it was already announced, or any other things on that matter? If there will be patch coming they will tell us 1 week earlier, if there will be any kind of update they also tell us earlier. If there is no update upcoming in near 1-2 weeks then there is nothing to talk about.

Shot for the reply WarDice, I'm not too worried about DX11 as IMO in this day and age it should have been in the game already, its the other little small things, like the ranking, the DC's, the SILENCE from the "admins". These forums are riddled with people's legit complaints and ofcourse the occasional hacker posting it's comments?

So my point is why on earth does a company like CRYTEK svck so much these days in communicating with it's client base

Crytek have always svcked at communication (unless they have something to sell).

Also the new DLC is a real slap in the face.. Before asking for more money on this project one would think they would at least address the issues first.

Oh and where is Cevat? Spending your money of course....

So it was him that they spotted here in South Africa on that hunting trip!

Look whats going on with this forum, no matter how they are trying so make things right, people here will trash everything. Who on earth would want to engage in discussion with community like this one. If there will be admin who announce new patch and list of fixed, you will in no time get bunch of posts which will trash that announcement. If they say "we want fix this and this" first response will be "go f... yourself crytek". If they post that they were trying do something in some way, automatically most of people here will bash them with their own theory of "what crytek was trying to do". Frankly i don't see any point in speaking with most of community of this forum since no matter what you say, they will be know better.

AINT THAT THE TRUTH but my post is civil so let's see if they are planning on informing us from time to time.

I agree with you up to a point but it's really Cryteks fault for not engaging with their fan base. One has only to take this forum for example.. This is supposed to be the official forum for the Crysis franchise yet it seems to be half finished.
I used to be a moderator on a vista site and as anyone can tell you vista in it's early days was truly awful but there was never as much negativity and inertia as is found in these pages.
Also take the game STALKER for example, one of the most buggiest games I've ever played but yet the community was great.
C2 has potential to be a truly awesome game, I've played the SP campaign over 7 times now and I'm still not bored with it yet. The multiplayer needs work but hopefully they'll eventually get it right.

I guess many are just frustrated as hell and a few chosen words by the devs would go a long way to easing that frustration.

Well the point is STALKER community is a community of normal mature players... and Crysis 2 is 1/4 filled with kids who have a tantrum if u take their lolypop and those kids are camping forums 24 hours a day and flaming/trolling em.Its true multiplayer needs some more work but thatll get fixed in a month its these new generation kids which are kinky and cranky as hell because their parents buy em w/e they want and they think they can act the same on these forums. Just look at the picture... would u ever say on forums "crytek go **** urself" even tho u like this game? well i personaly wouldnt because i think this is one awsome game and its gonna be GOTY if they fix multiplayer totaly and theyre on their way for that.

Agreed. And no I wouldn't say 'Crytek go F**k yourselves' but at times I'm pretty close to it..

cevat is dead



joke

I do agree that company which release game need to keep contact with players, but where is line? There need to be some reasonable balance in matter of announcements, if they keep it to often then there will be literally nothing to say, if they make people to wait 1 months for one info. then it will be sux and people will rage and cry. But REALLY how situation looks now?


26.04 - 1.4 Patch was released
26.04 - Info about vote-kick system
06.05 - Caption contest was started with some really nice reward
06.05 - Announcement about ban's for chaeters

Just this few things show that there are some info. posted each week or even each few days, small or big but they always keep in touch with community. http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=16516 This thread show how offten there is some info's, also like i said earlier there was launched contest with good things to win, also forum mods are really helpful and i saw them many times engaging into friendly chat with some people on forum. Basically there is many things coming out of Crytek on this forum, but somehow people are still biching about lack of communication. They can't say anything about DX11, because works is still in progress, they can't say anything about some fixes because they still working on it, and so on and so on... maybe if most of kiddies on this forum wasn't so bored because they sit 24/7 behind their PCs and eat junk food then they maybe would notice that there is plenty of communication with Crytek staff.

It's a real shame that the gamesas forums have become this way. I mean look at the Incrysis forum. Whilst there will always be those that like to complain there does seem some form of community at least. The negativity that is filling the forum here seems to be self perpetuating. I'm hoping that once the SDK is released along with other minor fixes the inertia will eventually disappear.

Nah theyll still bich about something... "whys the grass here when it should be there" for example and 10s of thousands of topics would be trolling and flaming about it.... as i said before this is like magnet for whinny kids...

STALKER developers LOVE their game.

Crytek only love our money.

That's the difference between community support between both companies.

26.04 - 1.4 Patch was released -----> Doesn't fix nothing.
26.04 - Info about vote-kick system ---> Doesn't fix nothing because nobody knows how to vote.
06.05 - Caption contest was started with some really nice reward -----> Doesn't fix nothing.
06.05 - Announcement about ban's for chaeters -----> Doesn't fix nothing.
10.05? - Announcement of paid DLC. ----> Obviously, doesn't fix nothing and f*ck us still more.

Yeah, Crytek is doing great.

The point of this thread is "communication", but obviously you ignored it and proceed to complains like you always do.This is exactly my point about community being made of whining kiddies. Thats to you, this thread where decent discussion started is now changing into trashcan.

And I'll keep complaining till a Crytek dev or someone give us an answer.

How many threads had we made already? Fifty? Still no response in any of them...

Nice communication, Crytek.

I do feel that WarDice has a point though. Whining, ranting and screaming like a child rarely achieves results.

I have to admit that on many occasion I've left these pages shaking my head in disbelief at some of the posts, as I said above stamping ones feet and bawling is just plain embarrasing.

And what give you a clue that complaining or making 50 posts with pure whining will change company policy about announcements and how often they make them? Also you will never see any answer in any of those threads with complains, because they are making only official announcements, and only if they have informations to share. If you make 100 threads with complains, they will not answer, if you make 200 threads with complain, they still wont answer... if you can't understand that, then there is no hope for you, and for sure i have now good reason to ignore any further posts coming from you and for sure report any spam/troll thread post made by you.

Greebas, you by yourself proved that you are mentally nothing more than a child and deliberate troll.

This is exactly my point, complaining/whining/moaning/trolling about something never will bring any positive attention from "company" side. What is even worse, they will start to ignore threads where people whine, this is not first time when someone with technical problem receive answer and whiners are ignored. If i want show company that i don't like something or have problem with something, then i am making one good thread or post in proper thread and that it, i know that they are informed. Posting more and more threads/posts won't change anything, since they already aware of my opinion.

Why the hell are you trying to defend the Crytek? Whenever I read your posts I have a feeling that You are my friend too much involved into excusing Cryteks fails... Are you on some sort of special Crytek's payroll or what?

Most of people @ this forum paid their $60 so they have 100% right to complain about whatever they want!

Why do you think "whiners" are ignored? They are THE SAME customers as You my friend!

I do not like the idea to sit in a corner with my mouth shut and wait untill Crytek will eventually fix something.

If company does not respond to their customers problems then this is not because "they know" - this is because bad customer care and nothing else.

FFS man, You won your copy on a lottery or what?

@OP: Cevat is not responding to e-mails also so dont count he will respond in any of threads here.

I have no doubt it's often perceived that way but quite often technical issues cannot be resolved with a simple reply to a thread. Investigations need to be undertaken into reproducing issues, formulating a fix, testing that the fix doesn't break other things, scheduling in the fix with a patch and then waiting for the patch to go live. This is no doubt a long and tedious process when many gamers just want to jump on and play without this issue but it's the process that just has to happen. If we can offer a solution to a problem with a post then of course we will take that opportunity.

For the majority of issues we have at least commented on them or stated that it's being investigated. The issue is that when there are 20 different threads on the one topic, our comments are lost and people feel as though we're ignoring issues which is simply not the case. This is why we've been so persistent in asking people to search before posting and to use existing topics so that others who come to ask about the issue can see that Crytek have seen it and are working on fixing it. Until that issue is fixed, there's little for us to say about it and as we discovered, repeating "we're still working on it" grows thin on people's patience so we simply announce once that yes, we are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it; next step from there is to announce that it's fixed.

I think you should add another step to that. Keeping us updated on your progress would help people to understand what's actually going on.

Ditto.

Also @ WarDice, ppl whining, moaning and crying is just a way of telling something is wrong, a symptom.
Like funny walk in cystitis and meazels in mumps.

If no one wouldve cryed, howd you know there is anything wrong?

Telepathy?
