Posted August 28, 2018 So long we have waited for this game I want to take a poll to see where you guys Still Stand. Like Always I am still 100% but I do have my complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2018 50% and dwindling. That last bit of deception there really put a dent in my enthusiasm for the game. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2018 I admit I was at 100% up until a few weeks ago but I'm now at 75%. I still believe in the game and I understand how difficult and unpredictable taking on a such a daunting project can be BUT I do not understand nor appreciate the lack of communication as well as the lack of full on dedication to the project by the devs. In my opinion given the circumstances the devs should not be working the normal 9-5 or taking 2 day weekend breaks as they are currently doing. If they were really dedicated and passionate about the project they would be working overtime nonstop at least until the first module was released, especially given how behind schedule they are. The lack of urgency tells me the devs aren't fully passionate or committed and don't care much about fan expectations. I'm still giving the project the benefit of the doubt but another major red flag or two and my dedication will fall to 50% and I might consider asking for a refund. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the devs are still working, but not in office and the ones who need the office might not have access or have a family to be with. For instance, Paratus has a baby / family he needs to spend time with and so working 24/7 isn't an option, yeah he probably does work a lot at home but after he has family time. People need lives outside of work too mate but I understand why you want them to be working non stop, but that's not a healthy family life. You may not care when it comes to making your passionate project come true but others do. They are working with more dedication than we think but Family is Family after all. I would love for them to work all the time to get it out, but I think even if I am passionate about my job, family first before the job. That is my morals anyways. They want TS to come out as much as any of us do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2018 Well, it is almost September and still, nothing, a few updated Screenshots of Furniture, The Dev gets on once every few weeks and spews how everything is business as usual in Identity land, BLA, BLA, BLA. Look how long it's been since the first bait and switch of Launching time square. I gave up on this game, the Minute I found out the Launch date was false. Then the Tracker, Somehow words on a screen about Gangs, turf, Cartels, is supposed to keep players from moving on, if there is no Action, people won't fall for this Pipedream to much longer. I know everyone has Family life, I know the Devs are Human but don't just put words out there that are meanless, get to Action, so it's more than text on a screen. Before, anyone states, "you're still here", Yeah I am, I refunded, lost cause, I just find amusement in reading these Threads of a Game that will not have a following once after the many years it takes to become a reality if it ever does. Dead in the water before it ever began. 0 HOPE 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because once they do, everyone will see what 3 years of dev has done and get a serious reality check. I havnt refunded - mostly because I really cant be bothered, but also because $30 is well worth going into the TS module and watching everyone rant in game about how there is nothing to do. The actual reality check will be pure entertainment! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tell you what, wait until they release the TS module, then u can call my bullshit. I would genuinely be happy to be called out upon it because we all win in that instance. I just can't see anything else happening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing that interested me is that when the plagiarism accusations came out the devs were straight on and the moderator locked the topic. Almost like they entered damage control mode. I don't like talking bad about the devs because I am sure some of them read these, but I do stick up for them when I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2018 75% cause at this point there is no way of knowing if the game will ever be released. also the twitch was interesting at first but its just an hour of wasted time once you realize all that happens is some bland graphics manipulation like a bucket or some weird popcorn tub or some lame tattoo job, and the guy talking cherry picking comments from the chat so he can be like 'oh yeah just click this link to another twitch clip' . just give relevant info, why is that hard? they never answer real questions, not even easy ones like 'when is the next dev blog?' cause they dont know, but sometimes he will say 'oh dev blog will be out later today' a week later 'dev blog out today for sure' two days later 'dev blog today' and then finnaly not that day but the next day we get the blog.... why all the deception towards the community? just tell the truth. that tracker has been sitting at that last bit for a month now maybe, and it hasnt moved and when people ask, the Identity Defense Force starts screaming, patience with the devs. why? they just mislead and misinform. why patience? when devs just can use the tracker as the excuse for no release. now go buy some $50 cosmetic pets cause the game is almost ready! GO BUY PETS! PETS! Just, PETS! cause you know CATS and DOGS oh my... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
