Fall of players, what is happening?

Yes, they are out there

 

I have a strange feeling that such species will manifest later in this thread

 

Many good points. Especially the closing part above.

 

I don't know what you mean by "magic bullet solution" but the animated pitcrew was there in one of the very early builds and was one of the best i've seen so far. Especially in vr it was absolutely great. Yes, it needed some adjustments but it was good enough. And now here we are v.1 and it's still missing? I understand that you don't think it's important in a racing simulator. But we all saw it, experienced it and liked it.. And now it's gone. If the immersion of racing is great, then it's only ruined even more by entering the pits and only see an arrow. I don't think everything is easy to fix. But having this feature at first and don't see any big problems with it and then month's after release and it's still not there is just another anoying thing for me now why i am dissapointed in acc. So no, i won't stop about it because you think it's not adding to the immersion because i totally disagree. And isn't this what the forum is for anyway? I know it all sounds negative but it's critisism and only to help them. If i won't care about the game anymore i won't be here to post stuff like this but i would be playing something else.

 

This somebody is me, because this just steals my motivation for driving.

The simulation is progressing very slow, but it is progressing.
CrewChief now is on board, curbs are not trying to kill you, but still "game" features are missing.
I hope Kunos can set some percentage of development resources to inject some tiny game features into this sim.
Something that builds a progress.
Championship points, statistics, basic stuff that is missing here.

The thing is: Dakar18 is my serious sim, that I only play when I am not too tired to focus and concentrate. ACC I drive when I am too tired and exhausted for Dakar 18. ACC is my casual game for 1 or 2 short and meaningless MP quick races, because own performance has no real consequences. Nothing to win and nothing to lose. End when race is finished nothing to remember.

I don't like that situation. ACC should not be my casual racing substitute, it should be the main thing for me. The thing I put all my will and power when on track, but unfortunatelly it's the opposite. Starting ACC, joining MP, do some casual laps, enjoying physics, FFB and sound, but not caring about results, leave and do something else.

But this is my personal motivation problem.

 

Well, sorry to repeat myself again, as far as i see it, its not that "they" dont care or dont like. I cannot speak for everyone of course. It will always be subjective what each person thinks and feels is needed, motivated or unmotivated. One person adores the game in all aspects but because there is no triple screen it would rate ACC a 5 out of 10, because his "5" is a heavy emphasis on Triple screen support. Same u could say for animated pitstops. This one thing, the eye of the beholder.
If u go look at it from a dev standpoint, when they prioritize its probably gonna be triple screen support before animated pitstops. Because even if i pick one factor why, immersion wise, this has way more impact on their experience then seeing a pit crew dancing around a car.
Now comes the crucial part, assumptions.
Just because some say that animated pitstops is not nececessary (right now), does not mean that they are against it. Or that they dont want to see it in ACC. They understand that there are more pressing matters to attent to first. If thats done, go on to the next on the list.
The reason why u see and feel perhaps like that is because the same things have been requested over and over by , sorry to say, uninformed people, new people to the game that dont use a search function, people with trolling agenda's or people who lack a basic understanding what priorities mean.
That does not say that I, or anybody else with similar like view, is or cannot be critical on this game nor does it say anything of being against these extra features. The only thing it really says is there is a big difference in perception, perceived realism in expectations between groups of players here.
Thats all there is, a lot of ACC fans were here with AC , or even before my time with Netkar Pro. They have already seen the ins and outs of this developer and what to expect in general.
They know their style of communication and most of them are a bit more patient and willing to wait, because in the end, Kunos will deliver.

Is it a perfect world, perfect development cycle? No. Is there anyone to blame ? Perhaps, Kunos but also us as so called " customers" to fuel our passion. We live in a time where we dont look what is, who is making what and losing perspective, all for fast rush fulfilment.
And because that is not met, accusations go over the net.. Negative reviews are abundant and opinions get dark.
How about taking a step back, activate your Helicopter Camera view and watch a bit more the road ahead..
Be gratefull a small team like this is doing the Neil Armstrong for sim racing and take a backseat is what more people should be doing. If its still stagnant in a few months to your liking, then its more likely and understandable if u choose not to wait for progress.
In all these years playing here though, there has always been something new or improvements around the corner.
This is no positivo story, its the reality. Make of it what u wish. Peace

 

+100 000 ! Well said ! Totally agree.

 

@Minolin

Really really appreciate how you give us insight into all this. Thank you. ACC has pushed aside all the other titles I own across PC, Xbox, and PS4.

 

RD reporting...

'The 1 million dollar man. Aris poached by CM as lead physics developer"

 

maybe thats an insult.. maybe he already gets paid more than a million dollars haha

 

I don't know how much kunos pays him, but no matter how much it is, it is less than he should be paid.

 

Just make some silly sh!t up like planet f1 does... did you hear Fernando Alonso is going to be Kunos's official test driver?

 

Please, tell me that you didn't take it literally?, because it wasn't meant to be taken literally, the intention was not saying that kunos underpays him or not values him. I was a cumpliment that tried to follow the good mood of the previous post to a professional that consistently is doing a really good job. What a pain are the language barriers.

 

Nah matey, relax, all good I got you Look at my last 20 posts in this thread there mainly BS and me d!cking around. Apart from a few good comments here and there most of whats in this thread is BS and has been done to death over and over and over so i am just having some fun. Nothing too serious

 

No worries, i missundertood your post as if I was inventing BS. Completelly my fault, sorry.

 

It's all good matey no need to apologise. Like you said just a language barrier

 

Bromance ?

 

I am just looking for run an iconic Classic car (with AC2 physics way) at an iconic road track at the sunset (with the U4 atmospheric way).
