No, that's the exact opposite of my experience.
People who agree will read a post, nod, and either go to the next post or add a quick "me too". People who disagree will post lengthy rebuttals. People who disagree with the rebuttals will post lengthy counterarguments. The cycle repeats until the subject is beaten to death, and often beyond.

Define 'US'? On second thought, never mind. As I said before this forum no longer seems to be as welcoming so I'll be on my way. Sorry for the 'drama'.

Re: SE5 bad reviews and problems.
Has anyone played around with the HUDSettings.txt file? It would appear that we can put the buttons anywhere we want and change the size of the quadrant map. I guess the question is, can we change the size of the buttons?

1. The hostility to those of us who are not thrilled with Se5 is real. I have almost stopped posting here because of it.
Again, I don't really see it... Who is being hostile? Where?

Just a quick example:
posted by RonGianti (in the amazon reciew thread):
Frightlever - You are acting like a real piece of trash. What is up with you people? A game with a couple bugs. you and your cronies come and complain. Fine, point taken. Bugs acknowleged. Patches on the way. Heres a list of work arounds.
Hostile enough? This post is about the third or so of Ron's that is openly hostile, that I've read since SE5 came out. I've also read posts by others that were either openly hostile, dismissive, or in the vein of 'I'm tired of complaints'. It's a shame too, before SE5 this was such a welcoming community, unfortunately, it doesn't feel that way anymore.
|
My words were a response to Mr. Frightlever calling AT a "Complete dick". Calling AT a "complete dick" is not complaining about the game.
There are some posted complaints about the game. Most complaints are valid. This game, like all new PC games, has bugs. Unlike other games, many patches are on the way and there are workarounds even now.
A few times now, some users have said they feel like they are not getting a good hearing for their complaints and they are told to "shut up". I don't see this happening. I ask, "where, what?". My question is ignored.
A few posts later, the same person or persons says "no one is listening to my complaints and NOW people are hostile to me" Again, what do you want?
Then someone calls a AT a "complete dick" and somehow we are hostile?
I think it may be time I moved on from here and just played the game. I thought this was a forum for fans of the game, its really not much of that if mods are called "dicks" and I have to explain why I like this game every day.

Re: SE5 bad reviews and problems.
No one can deny that the UI needs a LOT of work. Just a few basic improvements would go a hell of a long way toward making the UI a far more functional asset to the player than it currently is. Hell the onset of TABS would have been ideal but we now know that isn't going to happen so we are stuck with what he have and must work within those confines to improve the UI.
I have made several suggestions for the UI to be improved. One was to have information icons like population, cargo, fighters, etc added to the planet ship views. Take a look at my attachment.

Re: SE5 bad reviews and problems.
That would be a great idea along with the buttons at the top. I still think the lower UI should be made indpendently minimizable
BTW Lord Atrocities of the Atrocity Empire? Getting the cheat codes ready?
