At this point I feel like I need to let you guys get this out of your system, as whatever I say will just be deemed an excuse or something else. So no more comments from me unless questions.
What I said wasn't directed at u at all, incase u thought it was. I am happy with the updates we've been getting from u, however, as you've stated before yourself, you can't see into Bluecat's mind either.
However, I think it's time Blue just went and grew a pair and actually give us a good post consisting of:
1.) How far the merge is along. Ballpark estimate. Are we talking 50%, 20%, 80% or 98%? For all we know, the merge is going "steady" and is at 5% done.
2.) What the future update schedule will look like. Since month 1 will have (virtually) no new content, and Blue's been working on other days while the project is on hold, will we see a day 22-23 release within 1/2 months of the merge being done, or will we have to wait another 4/5 months before actually getting any new content?
3.) What their plans are to make sure something like this (one person getting sick, stalling progress for over 6 months) doesn't happen again. Will they make sure all positions are covered if something like this happens again?
4.) Why they choose to not give us a weekly/bi-weekly post updating us on what (little) progress has been made in that time. I don't particularly wanna hear "hey someone's sick merge is going to slow down significantly. See y'all when things get better (or in 2 months so my game doesn't get the "abandoned" tag). I want to hear "Hey guys, someone has unfortunately become ill, and the merge will be delayed by quite some time, however in the meantime I have done XXXXX/XXXXX and the other team members have worked on XXXX/XXXX. So that means after the delays of the merge, "this and that" will happen sooner than expected. It was planned for x time after the merge happened, however now we will be able to release it y time after instead!
I just want to know what's been getting done so I don't feel like while someone is sick, I'm paying for Blue's (and other team members) vacation time where they sit and don't do much at all.
