Please Fix Bugs and Add Essential Features before doing other things.

from Demigod Forums

Hi,

With today's dev jounral we get the first concrete mention of game updates beyond Connectivity.  Peronally, I was surprised to see what was mentioned.  I'd just like to express my opinion that I would like GPG to fix outstanding bugs and add critically missing features before working on the kinds of things mentioned in Frogboy's update.

I don't mean this thread to be a list of things that need to be fixed as there are plenty of those around.  I'd just like to point out that I would prefer to see those things fixed before I see anything that's been mentioned so far by Frogboy or GPG.

I appreciate the generous Support of Stardock and GPG, and I'm still hoping that some of my own peeves with the game (which are definitely not unique to me) get resolved as promptly as the connection issues did.  The generous support is nice, but it's also important that the support energies be directed towards critical problems.

 

I speak out because I care.  Thanks.

I guess the bottom line is I think these fancy new features are REALLY cool.  But they're pretty underwhelming while certain meat and potatoes features are still missing.

You do realize that there is such a thing as different teams responsible for different things? The concept artists, modelers, animators, designers, and balance people have nothing to do with fixing that particular bug :P

I'm sorry, but what exactly are these "critically missing features"? Just for the sake of discussion, it would be easier if we didn't have to guess what you mean.

Hi Annatar,

I do realize that different teams work on different things.  But today we got our first glimpse of the kinds of things they're working on, and I was pretty surprised to see none of the big important stuff is mentioned at all...

I just wanted to point out that While I think adding mechanisms to deal with and discourage disconnects is nice, there are other things I personally feel are far far far more important.  And I wanted to directly ask them to work on those things, and see if other people were with me.

Yeah! Devs need to work on other things that I feel are far far more important!

I agree! Yeah!
