Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[blockerdave]

You know exactly what he meant

Random rubbish such as...



After months of videos and hours of montages, begin to get a littttle bit annoying.

As annoying as posts like that are - and believe me I appreciate you're sentiment, I have tons of people on ignore from my time in beta - they are a tiny minority.

We're allowing the forum to be defined by a tiny minority irritants.

There are tons of guys here who love a good discussion about the mechanics and process and give great stuff. We have plenty of guys who may not want to go deep in to that but just want info. We have a few twats and a very few trolls.

Somehow we've let that morph into a narrative - the forums are too negative so BA don't post and the feedback is too negative so the beta won't post...

It's a real shame.

Instead of having a go at each other how about you just talk about the game.

Cant agree with you more their. For me its just EGO. Nothing else. Getting back to the game i am ok with BA taking their time. It may sound unfair to most of us who dont even feel like playing the current biuld. But last 2 patches didn't do much for the game

Yeah I completely agree... but I only post to please the lads who are interested, when it’s just pages of crap I essentially have better things to do with my life haha!

I often find there is a group of posters who are genuinely interested in the process and have an important part to play as it helps ‘us’ to focus on issues and try to get it right.

They are also able to make a distinction between their opinion of Big Ant and its processes and the beta members. I enjoy these interactions where people who have sound cricketing and or gaming knowledge have a positive and objective input with respect and dignity.

Unfortunately there are also a bunch of toss pots who think the sun rises out of their own arse.

I think a showcase thread might be a good idea where only beta members can post? And feedback given via Pm?

To be honest I wouldn't want you guys to go to the trouble, have expectations raised too high only for it not to work out. Remember the excitement around release and how that turned out.

That being said, maybe a stream/recording of a session and sharing that make be good. Post it and then leave people to digest over it.

That's a superb idea.

Planet cricket goes safe space.

Ugh.

 

[master110]

Do you mean me specifically in terms of my above post or generally?

Not you

 

[blockerdave]

Not you daveblocker for one. Not to name names.

And who have I had a go at?

Something like conversation feature where we can decide who all can join the conversation, we need a similar feature for thread with authority only for beta to post and share their experience with the patches as they go on..

Planet cricket goes safe space.

Ugh.

Again in was an idea, a suggestion and a question. A way of trying to create a space that took account of the factors you mentioned in your own post.

 

[master110]

Read the posts you made....

Lol and thats how dictatorship starts. Its cute that people think i cant talk about cricket. Reminds me few selectors i had the pleasure of dealing with in SLBC.

 

[Wealey]

Where has this chat about Beta people having an ego come from...

We test a cricket game... I play hours of test matches a give feedback...

Trust me I don’t brag about it!! Haha

 

[Wealey]

I’d also be more than happy to create videos, or update people regularly.

The ones who offer worthwhile chat and feedback that can improve the game further!

The last post of yours I will ever see. Bye.

Anyways beta boys i am a bigger man and a older one as well. I never meant to attack personaly anyone. Maybe i came out in a wrong way. All i wanted to do is give you productive feedback. It comes from a little bit of cricket i played for about 20yrs including first class and playing cricket games for about, well about 20 yrs. I apologise for all of this. Ill try to be clear and constructive when giving feedback from now on. Cheers
