Unplayable .

Shame to see this game go away. Not worth 1.99 per month anymore.

mystery solved: dogfightplay.com/index.php/forum/4-annou...-planes-fixed#270840

TR, thanks for that awesome support of yours. You keep posting like I'm not doing anything to solve these issues when everyone can see I'm busting myself working to make players happy. Sometimes it's not my fault things stop working, you realize zuperman is just a nick right?

Too much time broken Zup. Supported you from the beginning. As soon as subscription came out i signed up. Since that time my ipad has been unusable for, in total, almost a month with all the combined update problems. If you would get the game running soundly, i would sign right back up. For now, it is 9 days until this one runs out. I will see how it goes.

Zup,

he doesn't mean what he said. He was not able to play which drive him crazy. he is the fellow who plays on regular basis and very fond of this game, but yes, he should have patience to post it.

You made this game so addictive that one react sharply if he/she doesn't able to play. All good that ends good. So forget this post. Everyone appreciate your hard work from core of their heart.

Happy bugging.

Blue i do not need you to speak for, or apologize for me.

Sorry TR.

Or to him.

Zup,

Many of us are frustrated. A partial refund is out of the question logistically, how about some goodies to turn the happy levels back up? Coins don't cost you anything, how about a coin bonus for subscribers that have been shut out for over a week? How about a custom skin for the allied side for Moraf's?

Throw us a bone here, we are going through withdrawals,

I understand people gets frustrated when things break but i'm also people and I also get frustrated. I've spent countless hours, the whole freaking weekend trying to figure out what was going on because I knew it couldn't be my fault (I hadn't change anything!). Then I come here and message after message is insinuating that game sucks, that it's not worth it and that I shouldn't touch anything if the game is working. (I didn't touch anything, it just stopped working, that was the main reason it was driving me nuts!) For you it's a few hours you can't play, for me it's $ that I don't know if I'll make it to pay rent. So it's not like I don't care at all.

So, I have many things to fix and many things to pay attention to on my plate. I also snap sometimes, like every person in the world.

Ok I was just in a game with Blue Fighter and it was great that I never went invisible, however the LAG was sooooo bad, I had to leave.

Zup,
If you think fit, reboot the servers as it may refresh the unity bug because its too much laggy. Not seen for last 3-4 months.

First game I got in, everybody else was invisible to me, but they were seeing me just fine. Quit, shut the game down and came back. Entered the same game and no disappearing acts. The lag was quite bad though. Maybe it's all the Apple users jumping on after not being able to play for a while?

Its a business, its your business, people pay you for providing a useable application. Crap happens, I know this, you know this, others do to. When crap happens, your customers may become irritable/unhappy. Its part of business (any business), how you handle the application fixes and the difficult job of dealing with unhappy customers will undoubtedly impact the success of your business.

I think many customers are less concerned about how hard it is to fix or how much sleep you have lost. They may be more concerned about whether the product they now pay for works when they want to use it. Its really pretty simple.

Get a thicker skin, say less, don't whine, keep it professional, apologize if need be, do what is needed to keep the paying customers happy or at least less unhappy. Longrifle's idea is worthy of consideration. You might want to sleep on it.

The quality/value of the product will ultimately decide its fate in the market place. Its your baby.

I hope it continues to thrive.

Yeah I agree mostly but there is a slight difference on Dogfight... it's not your typical game in the sense that everyone knows and can contact directly the developer. Everyone also knows I've put my whole heart on this game.

I've done many other games, when people write complaining or asking for stuff, I have way thicker skin because it is very much impersonal. Here it is different. It is part of what makes Dogfight different. Things are personal and we have a long lasting relationship and even friendship with some. Otherwise the forum wouldn't even exist and it would be all limited to in-game chat/squadrons while I hover around checking everything is fine.

So... I try to keep it professional but this is also, as you said, my little baby.

Understand, now get some rest. You deserve it.

And btw... just to clarify. I don't think anyone has to apologize for anything. TR has his opinion and sometimes it bothers me, same way that my friends opinions bother me sometimes. That's about it. There is no disrespect on his comments.

When we see each other in the sky, he kills me more often and I just have a harder time not to abuse my powers

Zup I know how much setting your heart into a project means so much I myself am setting up a buying and selling business I'm not the best at computers but this game is one blinding game you created got so many friends in game whom id like to meet in person or I can have a regular chat to and I cant remember who said about business but spot on If things don't go your way you snap and I snap at my own Mrs at times when she says her opinion everyone understand this if you had a business or developed a game that was such a great game a great community and problems happened with the game you spent days on end trying to fix bugs glitches and anything that was making your subscribers and customers unhappy you had to recall issues and spend countless hours of your time you would feel how zup is feeling stressed about what's fixed and what's not fixed remember a car can't be road worthy without matinence sorry about my spelling but please be fair to Zup he has made a game of extremely addictiveness here everything goes wrong once I a while therefor he is taking time and worrying about what he can and cant do this week month or year I'm not having a dig at anyone just trying to help you understand issues that we all face I wasn't able to pay rent as I pay every 2 weeks so now I've got to pay double that will leave me short just a example for you to understand that if it was you in the shoes of zup or it was your business that had issues

I tend to be a little blunt when i say things sometimes. Later, i realize that even if i was right i may have done wrong. If i have offended anyone by my words, especially you zuperman, i do apologize. I think i will take a break from the forum posting for a bit. I will still read it but i am going to keep my mouth shut for a while.

Nice sentiments Deli.. btw, this might be the single longest sentence in the world (as it has no punctuation lol!)

Yep, good post content.

(Maybe his business is buying up lots of cheap short sentences and putting them together to sell as very expensive long sentences?)

(the game is fine, I just hear the theme song to The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt everywhere).

My fault and my apologies. The system yesterday night (1 am my time) automatically rolled back the last update on the server and brought back the invisibility bug. I've just reinstalled it and it should be good to go. I also fixed the automatic roll back.

Everyone needs to take a chill pill.

Anyone who knows me by now knows that I have been playing quite a lot so I have seen more than my share of the problems. I have only been here about 5 weeks so maybe my input doesnt't mean so much but here it goes.

Yes the game stinks with these problems. Ok we all get that. Yes we do vent about it because it's human nature to do so. For that Zup we apoligize or at least I do.

Zup you will have to be patient with us. Heck you took away our pacifier and now you are left with a group of crying babies.

Let's all work on this together. Zup is going to need our feed back to know how the game is running. We will keep you posted Zup just keep us informed on the latest changes. I see your latest post Zup and I hope you got it this time. If not we will let you know.
