Not Happy Splash Damage - You took Execution early.

(jemstar) #1

Ok, you told us you were removing Execution on the 22 of August. Fine we tried to save it but you didn’t listen to us. I was resigned to the fact it was going. But as of AEST 2330 last night the event timer showed 20hrs:30mins of the event left, meaning it ended at AEST 8pm tonight. Well I rushed home from work to play my final 2.5 hours of Execution to find the update was uploaded early. NOT FREAKING HAPPY. I would have been content knowing I did what I could to get the decision changed, but to take it away early is just rude.

Yes you were going to take it away, why lie as to when it finished?

Also the new UI looks crap and the server browser is bugged…great job there.

I have done nothing but promote this game to as many of my friends as I could. I have played over 40hrs a week on average. But the way you have treated the Execution community has left me disillusioned with this game and Splash Damage.

Yes I await for the 95% to tell me get over it and good riddance to Execution. Well that’s not the point.

The issue is how it was done and then to take it early just shows a total lack of appreciation to the dedicated and loyal Execution players. We were not given very long to get used to it going and you robbed us of our last chance to play it.

You guys have been in this business too long to not know the importance of respecting your community. I have played 6 years of Enemy territory, hosting 2 game servers and only stopped to play Dirty Bomb. My gaming life has been almost solely on Splash Damage games. I always felt appreciated and listened to, however now I feel neglected and taken for granted.

The new direction seems limiting and one eyed. Less choice seems less likely to attract more players to me. I will continue to play…but it will take time for me to feel like I want to promote this game to friends. And I can’t see me playing the 40+ hours a week that I have been. Not just yet anyway.

There are now 20 or so Australian servers…less than 10 have players. So why we couldn’t keep 2 AUS Execution servers is beyond my comprehension. To all the peeps that said it was about cost…obviously not.

I have posted this whilst angry but have tried to be civil.

Well thanks for the heads up Splash Damage!

Get over it and good riddance… but seriously you could still get cases in the past hours after the patch, I think that was the intended event timer.

Meh, no more bullying the newbs who played that shit, you’re gonna have to line up against the big boys now. :stuck_out_tongue:

As they said in the last dev vid they heard our begfing but dont want to invest man hours and money on it. They want to focus on obj/stopwatch with out having to fix/test execution every update.

Maybe they can re-release it when server will be rentable. So people who want it can have it and it will generate money for the devs to look at the game mode, even if it’s just for little updates

I wouldn’t count on that. If they kept the option, the cries for updates, fixes and new content would continue, even if they clearly stated they would allow people to use Execution but without any further update. I say that from just personal experience, but I wouldn’t think it would happen differently here, so Splash Damage would likely bury for good content they don’t want to support.

(watsyurdeal) #9

To be honest the reasons for it being taken away are pretty cut and dry, they don’t want to support the content, the community majority doesn’t want to play it, and it doesn’t fit the game’s style of play. So sorry to say but this is what it is. If you really want Execution, we might as well make a separate game.

I didn’t read.

(pumpkinmeerkat) #11

Really thought we were past this…

(blufflord) #12

This stuff happens all the time, sometimes an event goes for a day later, sometimes it gets pushed up by a couple of hours. SD didn’t just decide to troll the execution players, their intentions were most likely getting up this huge update as quickly as they can. You seen so personally offended by this lol

(ClemClem7) #13

For the first time in DB history, an update has been released 4 hours earlier rather than late, and people still complain…

Do you remember one time about a year or so ago when an update literally had a days worth of down time? We don’t even have down time anymore lol.

Except as far as I’m aware this is the first update in DB history that REMOVED a game mode. Not fair to compare it to content updates that fix or add things.

They’ve also removed or scrapped mercs, change them entirely, removed weapons, etc

It’s not the first time content of any kind was scrapped and taken out of the game.

Dazzler
Phantom’s original design (sniper rifle Phantom, more melee centric)
Sparks original design (don’t know much but apparently the Revivr was even more powerful)
Throwing knives
EMP field from Thunder’s nades
Gibbing instantly on sniper rifle headshots

Just some things to remember

Bro I don’t think you understand how this whole internet thing works. You’re meant to disagree and attack him, regardless of whether you are right or wrong… /s

I’m dead inside anyhow, so him cutting me deeper would just be pathetic.
