We filmed with Means' camera during the entire Q&A at the office, and I we did not film at the engine showing. It wasn't meant to be shown, so disregard that.Quote:

Anyone of you care to come up with a genuine reason why you think he could have possibly let it go on this long and still not show us ? not blind excuses/fantasies that you have all been posting.
If people have been ill for 6 months, maybe hire some temporary replacements for all the AO staff. Or invest in some medication and vaccines to boost your, obviously, very weak immune system.
Comments like this are so useless. What's the point? I'm sure you know that no one has said the AO team has been sick for more than the last week.Quote:

Because things like this happen consistently, we was told they was looking into revamping HI loot and pondering the idea of new BS maps. Then hear nothing back.Quote:

Would you be happy buying a jacket that was advertised as waterproof then when you got it, it wasn't, i don't think you would.
Means is a hugely postive guy. He's always optimistic and WANTS to show all this fancy stuff to you guys. I'm sure you'll find all his statements say "I would really like to have something to show you by next week" or thereof, so don't think he's a PR-mastermind that figures this is the best way AO can generate revenue; by shoestringing the customers along with empty promises, because anyone could tell you that that would soon collapse.
Means is just as extatic about the new engine as the next guy, if not more.
That being said, does that warrent all these.... wait..
Ok, I was actually about to write a post discussing the pro and cons - things like if we should rather have a tight-lipped dev team, which it seems you does, but when you comment like that, you just kill my will to explain anything. I'm sure you'll take this as a sign of victory, or whatever, but I think it's unconstructive to utter such things, and I'll refrain from this discussion.Quote:

ok.
Thank you. I just came here to post largely this same thing.Quote:

Yet, reading through this thread I find myself not only to be disappointed but also disgusted. I cannot believe the hatred in this thread and quite honestly this is the last place I would expect to encounter this level of outright disregard for your fellow human beings.
Yes, it's funny how the amount of hate and vile things said has increased exponentially since Means decided to start having a weekly update on AO. In a month now a days we get more information about what's going on than we used to get in a year.

You know what disgusts me?Quote:

I'm recovering from a flu right at the moment so I can empathise. However, I also have enough "regard for my fellow human being" to realise that some people might find that a little su****ious in the circumstances. That's only natural.
I'm willing to bet that right now, right while reading this post, you're su****ious that I had a flu because of how convenient it is to my point. Even Anarrina's earlier posts were doubting that certain posters had had a flu. Is that also disappointing and disgusting?
Don't worry, I forgive you for doubting me... not so much for the implication that anyone who was su****ious is a terrible person.
So what is it that makes this community so great? Your condemnation of a large part of it?
Another fine example of twisting something into something it's not to make an empty point. Bravo. :oQuote:

And I would certainly like to be able to raise concerns myself if I have them without the atmosphere of you-may-not-speak-ill-of-FC that's rife at the moment.
Huge tax return :D Planetickets!
I don't actually recall calling you out by name Redesine. In fact, I'm sure I didn't. I'm sure, in fact, that I was speaking in general terms about this thread as a whole without pointing to any specific post. I have not, nor will I, go back and read any thing you specifically had to say in it because nothing I said was specifically about you. You might also conclude from that statement that I never had reason to doubt you specifically, so you can keep your forgiveness. I do not want or require it.Quote:
