Emacz Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 I've been thinking about this for a while. But first I want to make sure I understand the state of the game. It is my understanding that A27 have been delayed and there have been a lot of changes to the management and developmental parts of the game. Developers are not paid, and all of the money used to develop and promote the game comes from donations. Currently most of the new tweaks/balances to the game come via the community mod. Which is worked on by other players who enjoy the game. They too are not getting paid. And a lot of the changes come via feedback from the active players. If this is the case I can't/don't understand why so many people still play the "vanilla" version. If you don't like some of the changes via the com mod speak up, learn to mod improve the game. But complaining about the changes or saying the people working on the mod are not skilled enough to understand the game doesn't help the situation at all. Just creates more toxicity (which is a whole other issue.) But if more people play the community mod, there will be more games to find AND there will be more feedback for new changes until the 0ad is able to roll out a27 and additional alphas. (Isn't it also true that some of the things in the com mod are previews of what are to come in new Alphas?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emacz Posted August 17 Author Report Share Posted August 17 37 minutes ago, Stan` said: I'm failing to see your question here. That often happens to be my issue. I guess the question is two parts. How actively is the game being worked on/developed. And if it's a long time between Alpha's and members of the community can mod and make tweaks why don't more people use that mod and be involved so its one bigger community instead of two? Is that more of a question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_tabasco_sauce Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 I think a lot of players are happy with what the base game provides and don't find it worth it to get mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Well the game is still being developed. Activity varies from day to day. We have a big migration ahead. 11 minutes ago, Emacz said: why don't more people use that mod and be involved so its one bigger community instead of two? I guess maybe people are not aware the mod exists, or they play singleplayer. Or they do not want to get involved with the forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grautvornix Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Well, as far as I have been able to observe, there was a dispute about several, if not each and every, changes. As a consequence, it was decided to test improvements/changes in a community mod before they will be integtrated into the game. Please note that the Community Mod is much less disputed than the vanilla game as it is "just a mod" and players can chose to use it or not . BTW, another very successful mod (completely undisputed) is Delenda Est by @wowgetoffyourcellphone. Best regards, Grautvornix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
