Yup, you are NOT exaggerating!
I experimented this suffering myself a lot of times! Trying to enter a bomb mission, but all I have for 30-40 times was the SAME DF session, with the same guys!!! I thought that was an extreme case of BAD LUCK, but now that I see that there are other players in the same hell, and now that Roo put a good theory on the table about WHY THE HELL THIS ANNOYANCE HAPPENS, I see that we have another reason to ask Zuperman for a MISSION BROWSER FEATURE!
But I don't ask Zup anything anymore, after that little struggle. No more wifi-local-multiplayer requests, no more mission-browser requests, no more stable-tanks requests, no more no thing from this poor brazilian monkey.
Hope the team don't make me regreat from the 25 bucks I spent on the kickstart's DF Elite project.
About "donations": No, I didn't "donate" to DF Elite; I PAID 25 bucks for what I hope is going to be a good game. I am for sure one of the first ten people that put their little money on the project. I believe I am one of the first FIVE to adhere, if not wrong. I would never - I said NEVER - donate any money for any software developper; the right thing to do is to PAY for a product - what's the case here. That's because I believe that there are other people that REALLY needs donations: starving poor people, children care institutions, etc. I use to donate to this kind of institutions in a regular basis. I give milk to an orphanage, even being myself a poor man.
So, please, lets stop this "donation" thing!!! Lets invite the people to help make the game, but please, lets face it as a TRADE, a DEAL, not as a "donation"!
