A Slice of Civ3 Feedback From The Official MOO3 Forum

[yin26]

Not good enough. How about a webpage updated more than once a month? How about including an FAQ instead of making off the cuff remarks in buried threads that then become legendary for starting rumors of might be, could be, were, etc.?

The fact of the matter is, Firaxis burned itself pre-release, stepped in its own crap shortly after release and is now proving itself Superior in the Idiocy Department by saying:

"Since we don't know how to communicate, we are just going to shutup ... but watch to buried hints and occasional smart-a** remarks from us in the meantime."

Yes, Markos. Brilliant.

Polls

These polls all have self-selecting respondents, right?
*We all know* how valid that makes them, right?

glad you now remember(?)

Markos, what Civ3 features would you like to see in CtP2?

- the way diplomacy negotiations are being done.
- ai's over-the-sea invasions and generally the whole ai
definately not the combat model (add this to the ctp2-2-civ3 list)
- right-click menus
- city interface(but not the city managment screen, ctp2 had more options)
- leaders and armies(even with the same combat/stacks model)
- culture model(of course)
- domination vistory

and some other stuff

satisfied?

this has all been said before. you have got to have better things to do than repeat the same stuff over and over. or you're proving jeff morris right....

[yin26]

Markos, one of THE most repetitive people here is you. And don't try the Jeff Morris troll on me. Leave that to the professional troller himself, whom, by the way, you asked NOT to troll with his pathetic article here anymore...remember?

1) if i didnt own apolyton, i wouldnt be here that frequently
2) and if i didnt like civ3 and had stopped playing, i would be totally gone from the civ3 forums until the next patch
3) i certainly do not participate in all discussions like this, nor do i start any new ones

And don't try the Jeff Morris troll on me.

95% of your posts these days are to complain about civ3 or firaxis isnt it?

Leave that to the professional troller himself

a single thread does not make someone a proffesional....

[yin26]

Yeah, this place really would have sucked had Civ3 actually been a great game! Too bad deleting, closing, moving and trolling in complaint threads doesn't count toward fixing the game, eh Markos?

Then again, if you fixed it, the whole community would collapse for lack of anything to discuss.

the "jeff morris law" doesnt have to apply to the entire community. in fact it doesnt. but it does certainly seem to apply to some people....

[yin26]

Yep, I simply couldn't stand to be around here had the game been a huge success. You finally figured me out.

that's not what the "jeff morris law" says. it says that people ("some people" according to me) love to complain. you seem to have become one of them

BtW, anybody at anytime is welcome to join in on a discussion...kind of just like what I did.

Well there's the operative word, discussion. A one sided, rant in your face tirade doesn't quite fit into that definition in my books.

[yin26]

My final and most radical point is that the online gaming community, which most frequently identifies and evangelizes bugs, have strong interests in games not being 100 percent bug free. Let's say a title avoided major hardware conflicts and is produced by a company with the fiscal resources of Midas. The offering is highly anticipated and has a roll out of a quarter of a million units and 20 active fan sites eagerly digesting every bit of news. In this situation, the final product is actually an ending, and those who spent the last year or two following it are faced with saying goodbye to the friends they've made online and moving on to another title.

Markos, did you really think I'd let you just get away with being so blatantly wrong? Amazing how you come in here bemoaning people being repetitive and yet you force up this crap again. You just being silly?

[yin26]

Yeah, a Solid Gold Civ3 would have killed Apolyton.

Christ...

"Markos, did you really think I'd let you just get away with being so blatantly wrong?"

What's he blatantly wrong about?

i'm not bemoaning people or call them silly. nor am i using terms as "crap". please do the same.

again, i disagree that what jeff morris says applies to the whole community or apolyton. that doesnt mean it doesnt apply to some people....
