Topic: 3 years out and where's the mod?

Just like with Galactic Conquest waaaay back when. Just about the time we see pictures or even a semi-working model of the AT-AT and Hoth the mod dies a slow silent death.

I loved the concept of this mod and many of it's details no one seems to understand the need for a NON-arcade-like SW multiplayer game with vehicles but you guys did. With the Epic undertaking you all took it's amazing. I just wish all the shortcomings could have been dealt with and the momentum maintained. It was a bear to get my friends to play, then they'd get pissy it would screw up their Vanilla 2142 then pissy they couldn't play Yavin all that coupled with the lack of players. I guess I'm waiting for the next major SW mod.

Hope is what powers the devs.  People gave all their Hope to Obama and now this mod is suffering.  I say to you all, continue to give the devs your Hope!  And while at it, reflect on what a funny sounding word 'Hope' is.

Seriously, it's a shame how much FS is suffering right now.  But this isn't the quietest we've been.  I'm optimistic that we'll be fighting fit again rather soon.  Hope. tongue

We'll see players return when Hoth is released. Hopefully they'll stay smile .

"Hopefully" we'll see some more new players before that when Jundland Wastes gets released.

What... Hoth... but... sputter...

State for the record, I meant Jundland Wastes.

And yes, this mod definitely deserves more players.

Re: 3 years out and where's the mod?

There are hardcore players out there willing to play the mod. There are casual players who check the servers see them empty and do something else. As has been said before, if people just got on a server it would keep going.

What people often forget is that a mod is a team project, the results of which are dependant on the availability of each team member. If they don't have time to produce material there's not much we can do about that. All we can do is forge ahead with what resources and team skills we currently have. We're always prepared to welcome anyone who feels they can offer something to the team and would like to join us. Coders, texture artists, modellers, mappers. If you know someone looking to get involved in a project then forward them to here.

Oh, and no one is playing at the minute because its christmas and I am unable to play right now. As soon as I'm back they'll be lining up to give me my daily whooping.

Re: 3 years out and where's the mod?

Don't have much to say... It's pretty depressing.

As a bunch of others have said, there is not much we can do about it. More Dev-ish type people would get things done faster.
