Ivan Wrote:With all due respect I don't think anyone has objected to criticism, in fact they have asked for it. On numerous occasions they have asked for constructive criticism with examples from play and if possible saved games. Reading the Matrix forum the only thing they seem to have objected to is the over the top hyperbole which does not address the core issues.
With all due respect Ivan, you can use my name. I am the hyperbole king. ;)
I could care less what Matrix objected to. I could care less if I express myself using any illustration, analogy, or hyperbole.
They asked me to accept wholesale a fundamental change to the game I played and loved over the last ten years.
They asked me to jump through hoops to correct their glitches. In my opinion I did not want glitches corrected I wanted the new close assault rules removed.
I was not going to be sucked into the little game of "we can fix that" or "we can do that differently". This could go on forever as I presented case after case for dismantling the new assault rules and the variable visibility rule.
And, believe me. I gave all the constructive criticism that I could. But, as I say over and over, it's not how the various parts of the close assault rules that I want fixed. It is the close assault rules that I want removed.
They had how long, and what you don't understand, in the time to make this change, to one, get it right, and two, to hear over and over that some of us did not want fundamental changes like the close assault rules.
I find "variable visibility" a sham and a shame that does not represent anything in the
scale of the game that even resembles
realism. And, for those who think I am talking about AT that can remain hidden, you would be wrong. It's the fact that visibility can change dramatically over the course of a game. Unless it is a rainstorm I do not see visibility being reduced from ten hexes to three hexes in the course of a game where visibility was a major factor.
The close assault rules, even without the bugs, do not even come close to the "realism" that was intended. What it did was swing the pendulum from one side to the opposite side.
If it is about what I want, or constructive criticism that I give, I have done so with specific examples?
Now what more, besides my screaming at the top of my lungs, "that they have changed the game itself" can I do to ease your troubled mind?
When my fingertips are practically bruised and bleeding from typing all the "examples" and explaining all of what I believe.
Sheesh. Matrix makes the wrong change and wants to drag out the process of correcting the change so that the changes will be accepted over time, and you object to hyperbole? :chin:
I have removed Matrix from my "favorites" and have no intention of ever visiting their forums again. If that makes you, and them happy, then we all will be happy, eh? :smoke:
