Diablo

I just heard about the leadership change so I think it's time to bring some points on the table. I may get flak for that, but avoiding the reality never improves things. So let's start: 0a.d. is a joke among the gaming developers community. No game has ever been in Alpha mode for so long. No game perpetuated bugs over and over all updates. One good example of that is when pressing and holding the mouse to drag around and select troops. We often have troops in that selection that are no longer there! What a major annoyance! And let's talk about the difficulty to garrison troops in a tower when there are plenty of enemies around. Sometimes it's also hard when there's no troops, but trees, etc.. But yet, we see announcements like "Vulcans!". Just stop adding features and fix the bugs once and for all! Another perfect example of things that shouldn't be: I recently did the update then upgrade of my Linux laptop and it automatically updated 0a.d. No problem with that, BUT it also deleted all my saved games and removed the map I was playing on before that update. WHAT THE HECK!? Another stupid bug are the .... doing whatever THEY want. You try to move them away, but no, they just stop and attack! This whatever the settings are for those troops. And why there isn't a document telling people what troops do what depending on the situation? Like, are there better troops to garrison the towers or do they all have the same effect? I had to ask around about the females vs the towers to find out they help prevent capture, but doesn't add anything. But what about the other troops? Is there one better for the towers? The list is VERY long. All those things shouldn't be, and that's why it's frustrating, and why many who could get involved to help, don't want to. If you want this to work, you must have a team to review EVERYTHING done so far. Set a list of all bugs, then start working on it. And in the mean time, STOP adding stuff! A good leadership is one able to deal with that. Something that hasn't be done the way it should have been so far. Sorry, but the truth had to be said...
