Thats what any normal "sustain team" should do. If you didnt, they would literally be doing their job wrong. If they took feedback serious, we would have maybe have a better browser than 2008. Yeah, why bother making negative comments when you can just put 343 on a pedestal and say "its hard"
"Nope, not as simple as it seems." "If they do manage to get thumbnails working it would be nothing short of a miracle." "Nothing is as simple as some of the suggestions here." "Either way it's still a monumental undertaking." "If it were easy they would have done it two games ago." Each of those is quoted from a different post. I think after the second or third time you had made your point. If you don't want to stifle conversation, let people try and work out ways of solving issues without constantly pointing out how difficult things are. And these certainly are coming off as excuses now regardless of intent. As far as respect. Yeah, obviously the softer you say something, the easier it is on the ears. But the only truly negative posts I see here are out of frustration--totally understandable frustration. We know thumbnails are wishful thinking when they don't even give us an eight year old fileshare system. Who are we to expect sequels to have comparable features to previous iterations--God forbid improvements? That's the fragile state our community is in, and all I see from all of these posts you've made is "nope." At this point we are all expecting to hear that from the developer. Hearing it from our own ranks too is just depressing. So yes, as much as we can stomach it we need to hold back the WTF we are all thinking when we address the dev because we're adults, but I'd rather not hold back the wishful thinking, and when a little frustration leaks out, after MCC, even 343 should empathize.
Wow I step away for a little while and you people have a Thumbnail throwdown. No, no, don't stop. I heard that if you type thumbnail 3 times in one post, that one of 343's Forge Dev team will break into your house while you're sleeping, and permanently physically disable the internet access on all of your network enabled devices.
I got my 5 year old nephew 'Disney Infinity' for Christmas and there are custom preview images for each creation in the menu screen. I'm also loving some of these in game creation tools. I can change texture of terrain and structure by the click of a button. There must be close to 50 textures or more to choose from. You can place enemies and civilians on the map as well. Structures and terrain are all 'snap to grid' based, nothing can phase, so that probably helps simplify implementing AI.
I would really love to see just some simple map statistics, just showing the # of bookmarks would be great!
Yeah, buy a seperate account & friend nobody. Forge on that account until finished. It's all a part of 343 & Microsofts conspiracy to make more money! /s
Actually thats a good idea. you could probably make a silver account and use that incognito. Thats free.
There's no need to pay for an additional account. With the Xbox One, if you have one Gold account on the console, all other accounts will have Gold also. So you can essentially create as many additional accounts as you want for free, and they will all be Gold accounts.
Oh snap! I might be looking into that for the future. Not that I think people will steal from me but I don't like that they can look at my partial work.
Yeah can somebody tell me the fileshare accounts of all the 343 staff so that I can snoop in on everything that they have. You know, since they're so big on sharing absolutely everything.
