Topic: Comments on Dev Team

This really has nothing to do with FirstStrike the game per se.  I did play a few rounds last night and although I am impressed with the work done regarding graphics, gameplay etc. something has impressed me even more the day after. 

     Soon after the general public gets its hands on someones work, by default alot of criticizm will be flying through the forums.  Screams of "fix this, fix that" are expected.  What has Impressed me more than the teams work on the mod has been thier reaction to the comments posted the day after release.  I see comments from the Dev's such as "thanks for pointing that out", and "you are helping us fix the mod". 
     The easy way out when someone is insulting your "offspring" is to back-lash with "make your own mod then" etc. (which I have seen with some other mods regrettably).  In the long run the Public Relations you build by your responses will reap the rewards by word of mouth.

     I just wanted to thank the team for something you cannot code in a mod.....maturity and strength of character.

P.S. The game is good too....heh heh

Hey, I fully agree with you, but the DEVS wanted criticism to become even better and any criticism came with a huge THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME MOD in first place.

Absolutely ICANDO, your post was not being referenced.  I found yours to be informative and not argumentative.  About page 6 or 7 into the forum there were others which prompted me to register here and respond.

I'm all for constructive criticism which you did well.

Re: Comments on Dev Team

Guys we are fans of gaming pure and simple. We are gamers, we would rather know why and what isnt working for you so we can make it better. We wont hide from crits and we wont offer the easy route out by slandering anyone who does make crits no matter how benial, what we WOULD love in an ideal world is more dedicated testers.
By that I mean people who will offer their time to providing constructive feedback and fault analysis with screenies and intelligent afterthought.
That would make our lives and yours a lot richer for this mod. smile
