February Update, or: Update on the community update needed!

Yep.

I am not sure if this is a Publisher Issue, since I have seen this relatively often with games published by Focus, but It feels like a lot of their titles suffer from bad communication. No idea if NWI has to follow certain " guidelines" here, set by Focus or not. But the overall communication feels lackluster.

The last update was good and made some much needed improvements, especially in regard to performance, but the job is not far from being done in my book.

The game made good steps forward, but to me it is still not something I would call a "finished product". Not in the term of of a DLC strategy, but with more improvements and needed content for that a game should have on release.

To be frank,y the beta was terrible and while I applaud to have the launch delayed, the launch was also not exactly awesome. A lot of devs and publishers seem to forget that the most important resource a game can have is trust from existing and potential customers. The previous development did not create huge amounts of trust in the customer base and they only gained some trust back with the last update. It was been almost two months now since the last patch.

People can wait for a patch, but people get rightfully annoyed and impatient when they get no information about what is going on. This is something the developers needs to improve. Players want to know what is happening, in order to build or just maintain trust.

@aslan14 Prior to the update, if we need community testing, we will announce it here, on Steam, and on the Insurgency twitter and facebook pages. The testing branch would be available to everyone. So please keep an eye on at least one of those channels. šŸ™‚

@jellyfoosh
Truth is, there are even less than 1000 players.
Which is actually less than source insurgency even this days.

Hey @chraso , that's not quite true.
For the real numbers, you can consult websites like steamdb.info
You're right that Source Insurgency is still popular, and that's great too šŸ™‚

Just saw this on Twitter:

"Insurgency

@insurgencygame

You may have noticed we've been a bit quiet on the update front, we were hoping to release February's patch tomorrow as a #ValentinesDay gift. Unfortunately we are experiencing some complications with the new engine update and it needs more time. For now though, here's a preview"

I don't know how to link the preview but here's the Tweet:

So they tried to release the update on 14th of feb, just a couple of days after this thread emerged. šŸ˜‰

Anyway, this weapon sounds like an M249 on steroids. MG3? It surely is not an MP5.

Is there another way to watch that preview? The video is just black for me. Also, is Twitter the only place they do announcements?

It's just a sound bite. There is no actual video.

Here's another Tweet from them with video:

Thanks again. They might have to put you on the payroll if you keep one upping them. šŸ˜‚

Lol... I follow the game and NWI along with other titles I'm interested in on Twitter so I get the updates as they happen. Don't mind posting them here if it helps other fans like me.

Who will get access to MG3? Insurgents? (According to VICE video on YouTube about ISIS fighters, they got some MG3's) Will it compete with m240B that will be added for sec?

@kean_1 So any new info for us? Lmao šŸ˜†

Nope, nothing yet. ......at least nothing I think folks here would consider really newsworthy. ....but I'll make sure to let you know. šŸ˜‰

@planetcanada

Well, talk about a coincidence..... It just so happens that another Tweet posted just now hinting at another upcoming weapon with a sound bite:

"We missed you before we ever met you....
Any guesses?"
