Interesting / Dave is still balanceing Petroglyph Updates soon after release with LEC updates. Still I don't exactly understand what it is to support there ?! We do have our feedback forums that are visited by all the devs from petroglyph. LEC does not do fixes for EAW they just send the feedback to petro / by they I mean Dave / this is how things were before the release when I had more time online / and I suspect this is the case now. I think that we should concentrate in continueing our feedbacking here useing the system of bug reporting that I see installed. From what I remember from old discussions reporting a bug is only half the way if you don't post steps to reproduce that bug.

hi there, It seems to me that I am also LONG, LONG, LONG overdue for an update. For some unknown reason it looks that I have landed in the desert of the internet. Anyway I should probably be online in the next month they say but this they said last month too. Even my school has a sort of limited access that most of the time does not work due to viruses, etc. I got a new PC and managed to get an EAW copy from outside the country (thanks to David). I do hope to be able to influence more the next patch / but again Mike knows my feedback / it's basically the same and from what I see now the hole community generates the same feedback that we sent one year ago / orientated for more sw realism/balance/in game gameplay depth/ more diversity. I am now in the other part of the city connected with my PC at a friend to try an EAW LAN and patch my game. to Mike and the rest of Petroglyph: Thank you for the update I hope the community appreciates it. I miss Petroglyph and I hope you will give us more nice surprises in the future. I also hope the next patch will give me more realism and depth. At this time I'm trying to open my email. I do not have much time left so pls say hi from my part to the team (new members included) they did a wonderful job. I'm so happy that I managed to write some words. to Cain, Ghostly, Fosh, Siddus, JI, SM and the rest of the PFF team, Its so nice to see how much the petroglyph community has grown and I hope you guys are all fine and playing EAW. Can't wait to take you down in a MP game. Cain cool thing asking Mike to post. He usually is so busy that sometimes he does not have enough time to do it. Still I wonder why this update didn't had the same effect like last one. I do suspect that the message was shared without links in the hole community and this PR error failed to give the maximum effect that we always searched for since it shows the dev at a distance from the community and not inside it, live and posting. Pls guys be more careful this time. Petroglyph is not somewhere above the community but it is a part of it as we all are. This is what we have to show to the world. Thank you all for your efforts in making EAW or feed backing it from what I see our dream has become a reality. We are all a community from the first dev to the smallest fan. Take care, - Ismael

Ok I will go first Since i'm the oldest and the youngest member I think. Hello Petroglyph! With the end of 2005 I wish you all a happy new year and marry christmas. You have been all great friends to us and have worked so hard to make us a cool game. We appreciate that and we will never forget you and your efforts. I wish you all to be happy like we are and to enjoy these holidays with your family in the best and most nice spirit ever. We will try to make you proud like you guys did us. We will make the best mods ever that even you will enjoy playing and I hope that one day we will be as good as you are at making games. Thank you so much and I wish that God will watch over you all and make sure you will all have smiles on your faces and be the happiest ever. Merry Christmas, Ishmael http://www.manicfish.com/ecards/thumb/99.jpghttp://www.manicfish.com/ecards/thumb/55.jpg Many thanks for your efforts! And many thanks you for the DEMO ! Edit. I ask all he PFF moderators to watch over this topic and make sure that it strictly dedicated to our christmas project and that everyone is nice as it should be. Thank you. If I will get again the chance to be online I may edit my post. Thanks guys and see you soon.

Thank you Delphi You are the best community officer This are great infos I wish that one day you will make us a video like you did the 43 min at E3 were you explain actions and such. I've seen that video so many times that I will love to see a second part. It will be again (like Mike said) a disturbance in the force Maybe you will get to open the new pff EAW media subforum by presenting a legendary battle betwen the QA and the Designers or programmers That will be super cool to see how you guys play Maybe you could publish such a video in the same day with the demo. it will be super cool. Edit; You didn't say in the interview how the bacta will repair ships after battle. Do we need to bring them to shypiards for that ?

Ok I will do it

Were is Ghostly and MyZrael ? And what exactly the studio director does ?

Hello all, Since I'm the GM of NMA I also feel that I need to say something in relation with this merging/vision/debate. It seems to me that both teams are driven by the similar goals. The NMA is extremely pragmatic and realistic and concentrated on better info and management that will give increased satisfaction for the moder and gamer(higher than usually and especially in the long term). The Nexus is a place were molders meet and share feedback / they only need what’s strictly necessary to satisfy their desire for creation and for friendship on the Internet. Maybe in the end it’s all about the fact that we know each other here and you guys know each other there. It a question of trust. Even if you guys find weak points in our philosophy they will do you no good in this debate since from what I've seen from Cain and JI they are extremely flexible and they will evolve their visions and by this they will improve the organization. They want to do something big and that will run better that anything that has been yet seen. These guys seem driven to make history and they will stop at nothing until this is achieved. From what I've learned from you all is that many moods have suffered in the past from poor management and non/realistic approach to the work. The NMA will help in solving many such problems. Cain told me that the single danger to such an organization like NMA if successful is the NMA its self. That is why he said I will be the best gm for running NMA and that I will make sure that we will have fun and in the same time be professional in our work that gets us the fan. All of these things I will do and in the same time I will try to learn as much as I can about game making. You are all builders and it seems that you love to build more than anything else. If we merge then imagine how much better and bigger we will build. This is not an assimilation its a merging were we are all equals, we both need each other and I hope that you will all accept the birth of NMN and we will continue together the road for a better future. I will be away for I while (I go to a new home and city) but I do hope that when I will come back I will have a nice surprise here. I wish you all happy holidays and a nice vacation.

Thanks / I can't wait for the latest version to be finished !

So ... beside what I've seen so far / What's new around here this days ? And a big welcome to the new moderators !

Fosh your general attitude from what I've been informed is destructive and not constructive / you generate a lot of agitation in a glass of water. You are in mod probation time after your last "I'll go / i'm back" thing ... so pls. behave. We like you a lot / but don't push it too hard. I trust GS as much as I trust Cain so makeing acusations against him is kind of strange since i know him very well. Are you searcheing for a reason ? Your real motives are unclear. We will give clear duties to all the mods and GS should decide who goes were after he disscus it with you guys and then we will approve it. Topic loked.

Wow... I've been a bit away and Fosh is starting a revolution. Will see what can be done. And Fosh you worry your self too much. All that is done is done for the benefit of us all. You did knew that we tried hard to back up this forum in the past, etc. I really don't know whats the issue here but I agree with 2 moderators per one forum. originally it was like this until cain informed me that the moderators (Fosh) want it the other way. So now they want it back / ok. When the list wil be final GS will submit it for approval to the admin section. Until then / people calm down pls.

What is rung with EA ? I mean are they bad people ? I know I don't post a lot but at least I have more posts than Brett By the way since Brett has joined us in the NMA I asked Mike to take over the educational side in the NMA / training departament number 2 / maybe we can learn some or scripteing programming from him. I hope that he will accept.

Cool ! you will make more money

Yes / Brett Tosti 5 months ago said (On the LEC Forums) that the devs can add as much planets as they want and that the 40 number is a question of balance. I do expect to see a nice surprise coming from Petroglyph

I should be more active from now one. Cain said that people (moderators) were becoming shadows so he asked me to make an effort to fix my pc / it was the modem I do hope to see you join us in the NMA / I hope we will learn from you.

Hello all, Sorry for beeing so late in the NMA but until a new PC comes up / I will have some serious problems with my internet connection. I do have a question for the RMod: Too much reality will not unbalance the game ?

I do have a question : Who is going away to Nexus ? Who is a shadow ? And who is still moderator ?

Moved to Maw

Well .... Cain is always looking for PR and good Search Engine standings, Fosh loves his rank count numbers etc. But nobody hates you or something like this. They were just upset and I was too, but think that we also love you and enjoy your presence / so as I said in the Maw we will go only for the rank punishemnt. It is the best judgement and it is correct for all our feelings. So from now one just try to be more communicative true PMs / this should be all. Keep up the good work Ghostly

Ghostly don't worry / I have chated with Cain and we see no reason to make you just a moderator or a member. just don't clean so massivly the forums. We need that old topics for various reasons. Pls try to contact us first if you feel the need to delete topics The rank punishemnt should be enough / "Youngling!" Take care, Ismael

Well many of my friends will post in the same style like this megajames - so before you fully close him Cain / pls. try to educate him more / maybe he will get it in the end. Thank you

Hello tFighterPilot welcome here and enjoy your time. Cain told me that you didn't liked me much ... loll ... what can I say? your presence here proves me that he was rung...the past is the past anyway. So thanks for the news / yes I also think that petroglyph should get something out of what was left from C&C but life is life and sometimes is not so fair. Still we cannot say that petroglyph was not lucky and it seems that God is on their side. We should be all happy for EAW and P-02 / they will be both great games.

Welcome back Brett Yes EAW is your baby and we still need your feedback from time to time I hope to see more of you in the forums.

Ok I finally managed to download it on my dail up connection so here is what I have to say / I will try hard to be critical : This new trailer is by much better than the old one. Still it seems to have too long black pauses between the words and images / especially at the end. Also this trailer has not all the EAW units and materials so I assume that in the future we will have another trailer with all of them in a cool galactic battle. The trailer reminds me of my (our) forum gif cool ! I wish we could add more stuff in it but it will mean a too large gif. What about a trailer with the scenario written by the fans and developed by LEC ?! How cool such a PR thing will be / I think it will be a first in the game industry. Maybe someone from petro could ask LEC if they agree with such a community trailer / this will give us something to fill our time with. I also see that the sound has been improved. I mean what the troops scream and say. I've seen some stormtroopers behind Vader with huge shoulders / I think the one who makes the 3D models likes the huge body type (Arnold S). Also the movement animations could get some more realism in them. They all seem to run at the same level with their heads like they will have something slicked near their backs. Also some of the killed troops should not die instantly / I think they should still move a little or not die completely and open fire when the enemy will be near. Something like wounded soldiers / vehicles can be damaged / why not soldiers. This should be all / the game seems super.
