If Shevchenko/Maddox et al returned to the well to raise more funds for DCS WWII would you support?

H

Are they having funding problems?

Hmm I already backed before. Would want to see more details before backing again, and would need something to sweeten the package. A mosquito may do that for me.

I would back other DCS projects, just these guys already have my money.

Normally I'd say yes, but I've already dumped far more money on this project than I would on any other flight sim. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Not really interested in more WWII stuff, now if they started a Vietnam one with F-4 and A-6 I'm in with $100+

No, in my opinion they've got to deliver something before they go back to KS or ask for some early access money (I've backed them to give them on final chance to prove that they are competent) . For DCS in general, I'd really want to see the 3rd parties deliver before buying anything.

Also, weren't we supposed to see a toolkit for the community to develop the new terrain? What happened to that, is it delayed? That was the main reason I decided to pledge for their KS, thinking that at least if the community would be involved on the terrain side, there were more chances that the project would lead to something usable.

Nope. I'm in for 50, and if they had the cheek to ask for more I'd want my money back.

I need to see results first...

Yes!, I am regretting not pledging before and would love another chance to.

No - because I did already pledge a larger amount and I would like to see something delivered before pledging anymore.

No to pledge because "have already pledged" should be an option above - it could be a bit misleading to count the No's otherwise.

I pledged already. Once they deliver on the original KS then I see no problem in another KS drive for more content.

Not until they start communicating with their current paying customers.

The ED forums have gone bananas on luthiers lack of communications today.

Interesting, why are you bringing this up Heinkill? Are you on the inside?

I already funded the initial one, but as others have said, communication since was very poor and I didn't get the promised rewards. All attempts at contacting RRG were unsuccessful.

I'd prebuy a Beta access or something the like only if Eagle Dynamics would take the helm of DCS WWII. The RRG team may have their qualifications, but according to my experience it's not in customer service and communications. So giving them more money now, definitely not.

MAC

definitely not at the current state and the disrespect of Luthier towards his backers..
with the lack of communication i would not back this project again...
btw, where is Oleg?anybody heard of him ever again after those first kickstarter videos?

What is this silly poll for??

Some hilariously uninformed opinions in this thread so far...

I have backed this project before, but I am not willing to spend more money on it. I feel there are enough WW2 offerings available, and I would have preferred another theatre altogether (Korea, Vietnam etc.). Even if I only get the flyable FW-190, it would be well worth the money spent.

I do believe that Ilya and his team are more than capable to deliver on this project, and I realise there is a bit of mixing with the project streams of Eagle Dynamics to get things done. My preference would be for the core teams to focus to complete the EDGE core framework and functionality, as well as any SDK or engine issues that may hinder the progress of third party projects.

I would only back it if I could be assured there would be yet another KS after THIS one to raise even more funds that I could then fail to back.



The Jedi Master

Gave RRG Studios $40 in the first Kick. Regret having done so.

1) The Kickstarter jerks got themselves hacked. I started an account with them just for DCS WWII. Now I have exposure. Granted nobody on Earth with a bank account is not exposed. The only thing protecting you from identity theft these days is the hackers being overwhelmed with massive numbers of stolen identities.

2) I don't believe in Kickstarter anymore. People are going to stop pledging. I think a number of funded efforts are going to die with lose of funds. Efforts like Star Citizen that vacuum up all the money also don't help.

3) I feed I got burned by supporting Interstellar Marines (Taking forever) and MWO (No Community Warfare, price gouging). Granted neither were Kickstarter.

4) Will ED and RRG be able to take payment from US/EU customers in a months time?

I wont fund any kickstarter, too many have been burned and the fad is dying.

Kickstarter is a risky investment,and has always been a risky investment. No surprises here. This is were potential developers go to find funding for their projects. Funding that is very difficult to find otherwise. If you see a product you'd like to see developed then you might want to invest. If you can't afford the risk, don't.
