    LOL, that will only work if they shutdown the forums, phones, emails and any other form of communication. Shutting down the game for a few hours is too much for the kids, so a few days wont really help, probably mass suicide. Regular patches in the middle of the night works best, but first they need to make the patches.

    I see your point but they should make sure that they work on the patch a little better so that there isnt a new glitch/Bug every single time they bring the servers offline
  • They are never going to be able to make everyone happy, no matter what content or fixes they ever put in. People easily forget any of the things that the developers did fix and keep complaining about new things. Even more people decide to complain about things they fully don't understand and make themeselves look like idiots.

    I've been here since OB in February, and this kind of crap has been going on ever since I came first started using the forums and playing the game. I've learned to ignore and/or make fun of the people who do complain.

    Not everyone in the community is like this, but the good community is dead and/or smaller then it was before.

    Me too and i dont think cf should even be out of OB to tell the truth and not to sound like an idiot, i know how hard their job is but no other game is like this that i can think of.

    Bad game engine is all I can say. Lithtech sucks. (I'm just guessing.)

    Source or UT game engines don't have as much odd problems.
  • They seriously need to shut it down for a few days and fix bugs and such, i wouldnt mind.

    All the idiots who kill themselves over it being shut down, less idiots ingame :D
  • I wouldn't mind either. Would just play CSS. :P

    That is the best statment ever!
  • Well obviously as a business stand point that will cost them money... Down time to a game COSTS a hell of allot of money and for a small company like this one it could kill them. And another thing people dont seem to get is that Z8 only hosts the game. They dont touch the game files

    It goes

    Z8(Problems with the game) --> Devs(gets the problems and makes updates and sends back)--> Z8( gets the game files tests them on a test server then sends back)--> Devs (fix anything wrong with the patch and send it back) Z8( Tests the patch again sends back if there are more problems if not launches the patch)

    That is just a REALLY BASIC explanation on how it works
  • Do you have any idea how long it takes to update and maintain a large software system? 3-5 days is enough time to fix maybe 3 bugs, not "everything that is wrong with this game". Jesus. Please, in the future, do not make suggestions that you know nothing about.
