I just wanna start by saying i've got high hopes for this game. I think it was announced around 2015 or 2016, and i have been waiting with high expectations for a while now. This is the exact type of game i can see myself playing for days on end. That being said, the game isn't even released yet. It's still in development.. And i just took a look at the shop. There are cosmetics being sold before the game has even released? Really? You're gonna make us pay real money.. upwards of 100 dollars.. for a house? There should be in-game jobs and in-game currency. We should be able to work for these things. That is the whole point of games like these. Rewards! So what in the hell is with this shit? In the first module release it doesn't even look like vehicles will be driveable. But there are cars being sold on the shop for real money. Come the fuck on! Please don't fuck this up. I'm rooting for this game. Access to the game should be sold now. The more funding there is the better the game should be. I don't have a problem with more expensive PACKAGES including cars and houses to go along with access to the game. But selling these things on their own? Thats a whole other ball game. We should all be on a level paying field, whether or not we had the cash to splurge.

Something more official needs to be done for the multi-threading of similar topics to stop. No, people shouldn't have to use forum search to find nuggets of information here and there when it should be made readily available on-site or on a dev blog. It is on the developers' shoulders to provide this information, not a mod, and these threads would be drastically reduced if the developers would take a few minutes out to do their job (and yes, keeping a playerbase updated OFFICIALLY on the whys and hows and whens IS the job of the developer, even if they give a community manager the power to make official postings about it and no I don't mean answering questions in the myriad forum threads. I mean actual, bonafide updates) Complaining at the OP does nothing, as this is primarily a developer issue at the core. I don't like the repeat topics either, but there's an easy way to control this that's not being taken. For whatever reason. If updates aren't going to be done, maybe a Discourse section of forums could be put into place to funnel these sorts of topics?

I realize its been months and months since I have given you my money, I realize you have a small crew, I realize you have haters and lovers waiting patiently, but just wanted to let you know I to am waiting.. still.. I believe this game would be fun and enjoyable, unlike most games out there, but this year long waits is starting to make me loose interest, I don't care about the money I have donated, (I say donated because I don't care to loose it to a scam, if this is a scam, its just money.) For those critics about to attack me for this post, go fly a kite, for this is my message to the team. I hope this game is worth the long delays, and look forward to playing and testing it some day. -MadApples

1. The very first part is the worst idea and is what the big game companies set as the standard for games. Second not pre-alpha but alpha build. No one has stated that it will be perfect on the release of the module, however the biggest feature is the feature they are working on and is a must for them to complete before they release the module. There are no more constant delays, there were only 2 delays and so how is it constantly getting delayed? If there was a date then it could be delayed but there is a task tracker instead and so no delay is possible. 2. 3D artist are not Coders/ programmers. Why should the 3D artists sit idle while we all wait for the programmers to complete the task. Them doing nothing is th worst idea ever IMO because if they create more assets while we wait, in the long run there will be less assets needed to make for the game. Yes, but that means a slower development speed and slower means that the community will still get mad. People find reasons to just complain really which is sad. They have said in the past about there mistakes. Also, they do get a response but because there is a reasonable answer in the response, they decide to complain more anyways. I will pass this post onwards

First things first, I've never developed a game before nor am I evenly remotely qualified to but even I can see some big flaws in the development progress and team for Identity and instead of just complaining about it (Which at this stage I could probably do all day) I have some suggestions for them. 1. Just release the module in it's current state, as long as it's playable no one is expecting a masterpiece for a pre-alpha build I understand you want to make it perfect so everyone get's hyped about how perfect it is and therefore donate more money but your constant delays are causing all your current fans to turn on you. I know based of everything that's happened so far I can't possibly recommend this game to any of my friends due to the fact we're virtually kept in the dark of progress. 2. Take a holiday. Literally shut the entire office down for at least a week and head off some where to stop thinking about all the complaints and instead focus on what you decided to create this game in the first place and how you envisioned it. When you come back have a meeting about you can most effectively reach your vision. To me (As previously stated, not a developer) that means you need to focus on the coding of the game and less on all the assets. Don't get me wrong the game looks great, way way better than what I was expecting, but what's the point if you don't have any gameplay. 3. Bring all your social media back to the forms. A lot of us have jobs/study/whatever and don't have time to look everywhere for bits of information. The forums in it's current state is so toxic but if you create a new section literally called Information where you briefly summarise what's been happening I guarantee you everyone will be happier because the way it is at the moment noone knows what's going on. There's no need for having Twitter/Discord/Facebook/Whatever else you have exclusive posts if people want to follow you on those platforms provide them links to the update on your forums. 4. Reevaluate your priorities. Currently people who have already pledged are mad, and they're your literal source of income. The community should be your number one priority, even more so than the actual development of the game. A happier community will lead to a larger community, a larger community will lead to more funding to the game and more funding will mean more room for developers and bam, by focusing on the community you've also improved development. 5. Acknowledge your mistakes, but more importantly actually learn from them. I understand that a game of this size is no easy task otherwise I'd have been down before but whenever someone makes a complaint on this forum they get attacked for doing so and then almost completely ignored, 99% of people here and complaining because they want this game and they're getting frustrated because they're not being herd and left in the dark. Respond to them if even with a generic message "We understand you're upset and we can definitely do better we plan on doing this so "complaint" isn't a issue anymore." or "We're currently working that issue by doing this" These are my opinions on the current biggest flaws on the development progress of the game if you don't agree with my feel free to say so below I'd love to hear your opinions on what you think they could do better or how I'm wrong. More importantly I'd love the developers to comment on this post maybe some of this has been already incorporated and I didn't know or they plan on following some of this advice.

Then that means it should be all the more mandatory that we get actual updates. The tracker is a waste anyway (due to lack of clarity about what's going on), but if even that isn't going to work, then it needs to be rectified with written updates (which is what should be happening in the first place).

Somehow, in your mangled mess of text. I was able to find the second dumbest thing I have read today. Artists' aren't programmers. What are they supposed to do? Just sit and twiddle their thumbs just because you don't understand the difference between an artist and a programmer?

And there we have it folks! Literally dumbest thing I have read today.

Apartments are not houses for starters. Also everything in the shop are available in game but will have a different layout. There is a in-game currency and jobs in game. You can get everything in the game but just not these specific aesthetics of items.

Just another way to raise money for the project I guess, or maybe they're just giving us a bone to shut us up.

Pretty sure devs have stated before that everything you can buy on the shop you can buy In-game. The whole point of all of these is they don't give you an advantage over anyone else. Why should I care if someone buys a penthouse? Or a good looking sports car? Yeah my point exactly. There's nothing wrong with the devs trying to get a little extra funding by selling ingame items separately or in packages earlier before release.

They already stated that you can buy these things with in game money. The stuff on the shop is for those who don't want to work their way up to buying a new apartment when they get started.

oh and a maltese? really? pets? if i cant buy a pet ingame with ingame cash im going to be livid.

They do tell us, and Well it has been stated many times by me on posts like this. Maybe the search function is a good idea for people as it takes little time to find a answer compared to waiting for 1. There was a database bug causing crashes/ delaying moving forward. When one bug gets fixed, it also can create many more bugs, small or big. That is how development is and that is why the task is taking longer than need be. Issues, arise and issues get fixed, but more always creep up.

But we do know what it will contain... the last task is apartment inventory, and this is a big part of the game. Lucky is a moderator btw, not a developer

I do agree threads like these are pointless, including this one. All it does is clutter the forums. If you have an opinion, why not just add it to one of the other countless similar threads? If it's a personal message to the devs, why not inbox them? But making an entire thread for it yourself, repeating what others have said before, is kinda absurd.

it s not coming out today i guess:p i start to assume we just get 2 dev blogs in september, if they can handle that

I kida agree. I pre ordered 2 years ago, and was promised the first module release at febuary 2017.

Yall are cute with your complaints about waiting "months". Haha.

" for this is my message to the team. " Hope this answers your question.

Identity is going to be way more than Arma life servers.

well the point of this game isn't to have another "arma experience"... Mods only allow you to do so much and asylum wants to give people the full roleplay experience, just implementing everything arma has to offer wont really do much good then now would it.

Never in the history of calming down, has anyone ever calmed down by being told to calm down.
