Let's see if this gets me banned over on the Pcars forum...
My post (typed on phone so it's messy)
"The bugs are growing, not shrinking. Bugs the community are crying out to be fixed are likely the most impactful to the end users and should be top priority, then all the low level or internal dev wish lists, then features.
Community bugs; setup saves, pit errors, "land mines", car geo digging into tracks, proper start/finish lines, tire setup, proper livery selection, optimized Monaco, proper FFB presets, etc.
Feature enhancements; mandatory pits online, administrator tools online (kick that guy! Ability), pit crews, forced setups (custom! Not default), revised UI logic (stop having to trick things to work like global setups saves, proper tire selection, weather, etc), custom championships both online and single player, custom liveries online, timed races, triple screen support, etc etc.
I'm sure these lists could be huge, this is just off the top of my head based on what I've been reading here for months.
A games dev roadmap should be as follows;
1) release game as complete as possible
2) patches based on user feedback and known non fixed dev bugs, no more than 3 months of patches
3) feature enhancements along side DLC to keep things fresh
4) open up for modding around the 6 month mark (retention and extended life cycle)
And when you state a "new feature" make sure it works, and that it's intuitive enough that a user doesn't need to visit a forum to understand its function.
I do appreciate there is a team working on regulate updates but I don't recal a single user feedback request being addressed that isn't "tuning" related or to address a fundamental bug, but even then it's been more of a bandaid than a proper solution. It's like going to a dr for your foot but he keeps treating your hand... Was anyone really complaining about rear view mirrors? How does that even get prioritized over day one bugs?
Please don't take this the wrong way, as a player, I'm trying to do my part to share what things look like from the other side of the fence and I have a strong desire to see Pcars in all its glory. Just your renderer and weather change effects alone are way ahead of anything we'll see in another sim for years... I just want it all to work together so I can better enjoy the game you guys originally planned to release."
