Everybody says that the support of SE4 is so good. I am not so sure for my part. At least I think that the MM support (or shrapnel) for this forum is not good. why?
How many Posts did MM directly at this board which is IMO the most important forum for SE4. Some post are coming from Richard of shrapnel games but these Posts are mainly official or business things. I can not remember Richard told us even once about his opinions about our numerous ideas and suggestions, mods and strategies.
And Aaron? (or the second guy of MM)
No Posts of them at all.
Is this a good forum support? I say no.
Dont get me wrong, guys, I love Se4 and I think MM did a great work and a big step forward in 4x games in releasing this jewel. I know he is only one guy and he works hard on the patches. But I work also hard in my job and I take my time to look 10min. per day in this forum to read all those ideas. It should be in MMs own interest to post some Messages per week in the forum too. MM should consider this action as part of their daily work on the SE4 game. Maybe Aaron read the Messages in this forum, but why didnt he post any Messages? I cannot understand this.
For example I am coming just from the Age of Wonders message board (a fantasy strategy game) and there I feel that there is a really good forum support. In every second thread there is a (or more) message from the programmers or producers of the game in which they comment the ideas and suggestions of their customers.
sorry for the rant but someone had to say it.
