"Hey guys, it's been a while!
I wanted to start by apologizing for the period of silence from us, we are still trying to figure out how to approach having a community of this size. While we were figuring out how we wanted to approach communicating with a far larger audience than we were used to, we decided to remain silent to avoid providing mixed messages. Obviously, providing no messages was just as bad. Now we’ve had time to think about how we interact with our community and decided that we want to get back to a position where we can communicate more openly; we know that when that happens we learn more, the discussions are more productive, the community healthier, and the experience of Chivalry as a whole is improved.
We also wanted to explain some of the difficulty of why it is hard to build on Chivalry and why problems seem to pop up again with new patches. The essential issue is that when we first started on Chivalry, it was a hobby project. We made some poor decisions that created the foundation of our game on fairly shaky ground. In many cases, to improve even seemingly small issues, we would be better off entirely rewriting the codebase. This is why our ultimate goal is to get Chivalry to the point where the community can add new content to it and keep it vibrant and alive through custom maps and mods. We know that the game needs a bit of love before that can happen, and we plan to deliver on that side of things.
To help kick off our new discussion and illustrate our new and revived attitude, here is a list of Core Issues with the game as we believe the community sees it:
-Rank/Unlock issues
-Vanguard Sprint Attack Bug
-Nonfunctional server ping limits
-Showing Idle time and Ping for votekicks
-The large size of enemy-specific collision (“The bubble”)
-Removal of Panic parry
-Shields run out of stamina too quickly
-Lack of new content (TO Maps in particular)
-Custom content is not sufficiently supported
Let us know if you agree or disagree with these items as a list of core community issues or if there is anything else we missed.
It really helps us if responses are as specific, brief and contain as little emotional discharge as possible. Feel free to discuss in this thread or create new topics to focus on a specific topic.
Thank you for staying with us through this period and hopefully a brighter, better future for Chivalry is on the horizon. "
Méfions nous avec les grosses MAJ de Torn Banner ^^
Mais quand même, de nouvelles maps TO ça va être bon espérons sans parler des Fixes qui se faisaient attendre.
