pipe dream

Ideas and suggestions for how to improve the Warzone 2100 base game only. Ideas for mods go in Mapping/Modding instead. Read sticky posts first!

I strongly disagree. In fact, I'll challenge that statement outright. The ideas that are currently being incorporated into Warzone are ones that have arisen from this very sub-forum. The new terrain renderer? Came from an idea someone had.

Balance changes? Again, came from here.

New Campaign? That's been an idea since 2000, in one form or another.

New models? Also in the works since 2001.

I urge you to remember that in an open-source project like this one, things can move slowly. It's simply a fact of business. If, per se, there were a paying benefactor who could take care of the monetary needs of the development team and website maintainers, things would move faster.

But your position that the ideas expressed to improve Warzone are a "pipe dream" or "bragging" -- that's rather offensive, considering that this game is free; and an insult to the people who develop and maintain the site.
lbhe shyy bs vg.
show me the post where someone said that we need a new terrain renderer and then show me the developer response.
I bet you anything that the developers that did it didn't need someone to tell them what to do, and they had a plan.
you are also wrong and putting words into my mouth.
let me rephrase what I was getting at, I said that the developers don't act because they read some post in this forum section, they do it if they want to and what they want to do.
look at idea tracker, and look how many ideas were implemented. V xabj vg vf n uvtu ahzore sbe lbh gb pbhag gb, ohg V jvyy uryc. it is 0.
we got hundreds of ideas with more and more being done every day and without someone doing the dirty work this is just a waste of time to keep asking for ideas and suggestions.
they should call this a wishing well and require people to use paypal to ask for something and when the amount gets high enough then it gets done.

If you really want things done, DO something for warzone. I hate people f**king complaining just because things aren't the way you want them to be.

Mostly, I think you're right. The devs do as they please, and in doing so they improve the game.

Also, viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7673&hilit=heart

Feel free to continue reading each post of every thread in this subforum.

It's still hard to put *everything* on the front page. That's what FAQ is for, by definition.
maybe we should add "search before asking" in FAQ or forum rules :lol2:

  • To make sure Dev aren't wasting their time they CAN choose which one they want to implement and which one doesn't
  • To keep game balance we're NOT making a new tank or weapon, YOU may use mods to make your "new" weapon
  • To keep everyone playing we use cross-platform engine, Read Here or ToS and License each engine and you should find out why we don't use UDK or Unity or Cryengine or [InsertEngine]
  • Dev are recently done with Anti-Cheat code and porting this game to Qt, since it had a lots of bugs and they need to deal with it first then do something new otherwise I'd say something like "look at Bug Ticket, and look how much bug were fixed"
  • Got Any Other Question?
