Six Degrees

There seems to be many different desires and request for AC dev's to do this and that. Like changeable weather, time of day, etc etc, why cant we all just accept that what we have now is beyond what we expected and settle.

It seems that there is always "I want this" and "I want that", but in reality what you are going to get it what the dev's have put their time an effort into from experience. I thought the concept of the open beta was for us to comment on the current progression and to give feedback on that, not to wish for unrealistic things that may well be addressed in the future. caveat on this is that this is the most tame and dev friendly forum I have aver encountered.

 

Yes, I agree

 

I think what makes this place so Dev friendly is that fact that the Dev's are always around, constantly updating and getting involved and 'simmers' tend to mature people, not COD-Kiddies that only play to annoy other people and cheat their way to the top of leaderboards.

RaceDepartment used to be like this years ago, but I`m not keen on the direction the website/forum has taken in recent years and I don't feel the urgency to visit daily, like I do here (or every spare second I get when I`m at work lol).

 

I'm now stifling a scream every time somebody demands MP NOW! despite damage, race weekends, pitstops, penalties, flags etc. not yet fully implemented in the game. Every thread there's someone asking for it!

 

As my parents used to say " . . . You get what you're given"

It was usually applied to me wanting something else for me tea, but it's still relavent lol

 

Grandmother used to say "L'erba voglio cresce solo nel giardino del Re",
let's see, something like "the 'I-want' grass only grows in the King's garden"

I always wanted to get to that garden

Indeed this forum is a good place, I think the developers are having good feed-backs and feel the mood of dedicated players (though I think they have to consider a wider audience).

... it is just so human to always want more.
Ideals, for which I intend aims beyond reach, drive human progress, it is not important that they are not achievable because by their existence (in our mind) they define the direction of the effort, thus they have practical value not in the reaching (by definition unattainable) but in the going toward, thus in the actual progress they cause...
So ideals have a fundamental rational and practical role... (freely inspired by Kant).

A digression, as a necessary safety measure, just never forget ideals don't have absolute unchangeable existence of their own, we conceive them in our mind, and they are borne from the understanding of what we feel here and now and very very concretely. As any understanding they are constantly changing, and nothing but empty if what it is that is being understood is forgotten...
Never sacrifice the man for his ideals.

So what we do when we all come up with "I want this! I want that!", we basically impersonate the role of emotions given to the rational mind, the developers.
It is their role to understand (or comprehend) the chaotic irrational input we provide, to give it the structure of a consistent ideal to direct their effort.
Of course they have their own very consistent experience and ideas to add to the mix, and then cope with what is practical and what is not, that's how it works.
Theirs is the hard task, we are the jolly wishers and beneficiaries of their work!
But even our silly "I want it!" might have a tiny role to play, we just have to remember what the developers are giving us, and no doubt we should be thankful!

Now let me give this other very fundamental piece of wisdom that would surely change Your life forever...

... ah, wait, AC's update has finished, well, I guess I'll tell You next time.

Bye!

 

People are fed up cos its the start off the sim league season and communities are hoping to stay together, these delays are pushing peoole back to iracing and other commitments on other sims at other leagues...its not unreasonable for hardcore simracers to be a bit upset, I certainly empathise, after AC who wants to go back to rfactor or drop money on iracing or have servers sitting empty for another month...granted casual gamers dont care for this time off year but league admins do

 

If you think about it we might not have ever had removable steering wheels, HDR settings, controller settings, and a few other "sim necessary" things if it wasn't for people asking for those things.
