Why is the LOCKON community so cut and dry?

[NEODARK]

I mean, seriously?

 

This is NOT a rant, rather an inquiry as to "why" and the invitation to bring us together as a community a bit more, to simply enjoy a game we all love and to help make it better.

 

We have many great individuals, of which I don't personally know or even played with before... Yet, I know enough to know about them through their great efforts to come out and help others.

 

Lately, it seems a few people Like IronHand, TekaTeka, Thomas, and others spend all their time and even money doing something to give to others and many peolpe can't even reply to say thanks, unless it's to correct something they don't agree with or jump into a flame fest? -what's the point...

 

The last great post I can think of right now is what TekaTeka did by converting all the tutorials to video, yet very few members bothered to go in and at least say: "Hey man.. Thanks for the effort." Yet, everyone and their mom clicked and oppened that thread to look at it..

 

Why would these great lockon players/modders even have an incentive to create more if we can't even aknowledge their work, why would anyone want to do anything if all they get is flames for it or someone trying to prove them wrong for personal satisfaction?

 

Just remember, lockon and the community around it is what we make of it. Let's make it something we are all proud of :thumbup:

 

PS: You don't even have to reply to this thread, just think about what I've said/.

I've rep'd em ;)

[Pilotasso]

Me too.

Both Rep's and posted Thank you's from me. I often put links to particular people's work in Forum posts when I help out n00bs etc if there is something I think will be of use to them.

 

But Neodark does have a point. Sometimes feedback is lacking to the authors of Missions, Campaigns, Mods, Tweaks, Skins, etc. As long as comments are made in a polite manner, most authors will want to hear what the Community think of their work, ideas for improvements that the author might not have thought about, etc.

I speak from a little experience, I haven't done much of note other than my Crimea and Caucasus Tours last year (rework of Shepski's Tour). Put a lot of effort into finding photos and background info on the 'Net of the real-life versions of the interesting sites in Lockon. No idea if folks thought it was any use or not. The tours have been downloaded about 4,300 times (all sites) and I have had virtually no feedback at all - maybe a dozen people in total.

I always say thanks for people who try to bring something new or nice to Lock On. :thumbup: Actually, the community's involvement is a lot better compared to F4:AF.

[F22FighterPilot]

I always thank the people that help me out and those that make awsome Lock On movies that they put a lot of time and effort into and share it with us.:thumbup:

Right on. :thumbup:

[Guest IguanaKing]

Yup...that's a good point NEODARK. I don't use many mods or addons at the moment, but I definitely try to plug Mitch's A-10 Pit whenever the subject of A-10 pits comes up. That's an awesome cockpit mod. But, yeah, I guess we could stand to be a bit more positive as a community. :thumbup:

Same here. Speaking of Mitch, has anybody heard from him? Last I heard, he was ill or something.

I show my appreciation and gratitude to all the "givers" in this community by allowing them to shoot me down up on Hyperlobby.:music_whistling: :D
