Just thought I'd send you a message really laughed at your comments. I totally agree I think the sysop's feel they know more about AA than the developers simply because 5 years ago they wrote some OPF scripts (big deal) and therefore this gives them veto rights over what gets fixed in Armed Assault. | |||
I previously added about 20 bugs but got so pissed off with 2 of the sysops stating 'this is not a bug' or some snotty comment and or trying to give me a work around that I just deleted all of them. | |||
If I had wanted a work around I'd look in the forums and in any event this is not the place to present work arounds (imo). I think as you say its a pissing contest for them so they can show off their 'knowledge' and flaunt their power. | |||
Anyway hopefully some of this stuff actually makes it to the programmers for fixing. I am disappointed that the AA engine is so flawed - it really needs a rewrite me thinks and then this would be the ultimate game / sim. | |||
A worrying thing is that many of the new bugs are still flagged 0 and have been for nearly 2 weeks. This makes me think that they have closed the book on what gets fixed for the UK / US version. | |||

The bug list is not a pissing contest, however, what is the point of having submission rules if I'm going to be the one to apply all of the formatting? I work pretty hard to keep the list nice and tidy and to be as relevent as possible. It seems sort of ironic, don't you think, to say that it's not a pissing contest by calling me out in the middle of the list? If you have any messages for me I can be reached on my profile talk or on the BI forums. Thanks. --[[User:Plaintiff1|Plaintiff1]] 09:06, 22 January 2007 (CET) | |||
