Believe it or not the team plays the damn game too, and the team does what the team wants to do, be that a reflection of their own initiative and passion for their creation or as a reflection of the general public. What you're asking isn't for the team to do what the community wants, but for them to do what you want, and that's just rude. The team does take ideas from the community and does respond to criticism, and to think otherwise, as well as to think that your opinions override those of the community at large is arrogant, or ignorant at the very least. The team created the mod for themselves and nobody else, and now that people are playing it they accept input from outside of themselves, but that does not mean your input is more valuable than their own. Just because you play Grand Theft Auto doesn't mean the dev team should stop work on the sequel so that they can create a naked patch for the people that want one; it's their game and they'll design it as they feel is accurate to their personal goals and desires.
You think the team isn't capable of putting the same effects into ESF as EVM has? Then just play EVM and don't worry about what's going on over on these forums. The team doesn't have the time, energy, or desire to shut everything they're already working on down just to make things look prettier for a handful of people in the community that actually give a damn about how Shenlong, or a kamehameha, or the way some model's arms move when he runs. Even if EVM did have some individuals that are more talented in that particular field than the ESF team it wouldn't exactly make them more qualified to develop the mod as a whole, which is how you came off.
If you had to choose between the prettiest models and beams you ever saw and, say, extra characters and attacks, what would you prefer? Because the team can't do everything at the same time, and as the team is working right now, they'll be working through 1.2.5 and 1.3 and 1.4 too. There are graphical updates schedualed along the way but you have to be patient because you really can't tell them when to schedual what, and I believe they have their priorities in order. The team never said they wouldn't change the graphics, and besides, this thread is asking the team to update a model for an experimental gameplay mode that is not officially recognized as complete, so how can you honestly expect them to set what they're working on down and take care of it for you?
I rarely ask this of people, but be more greatful than you are. If you were speaking for the entire forum I might buy it, but you're speaking more for you and a handful of dissatisfied fans than for anyone else, and that comes off as pompous, like you feel your word has more value than the team's or the testers'. If it's really that big of a deal you can try and get yourself into a splinter group like EVM and make a difference on your own, but the team already has an agenda set out, and everything takes time.
Sorry for going off like this but I think it's ridiculous that somebody is trying to convince the suggestions forum that the team should put in what he wants instead of what they want. If you have a suggestion, make it, and it'll be used or it wont. A lot of suggestions people offered up in 1.1 are in place in 1.2, and yours might make it into 1.3, but don't get ****y on us, they aren't working for money, and they don't need to please everyone playing the mod to get the glory that comes with a successful modification.
Look man, I know that making a game takes time, but if you see all the suggestion that has been done one or two were put it in the game, and that thing you said about that they do the game, for themself then why the hell they put it to download for people, I asked a lot of suggesiton like anyone here, most of them were denied or no answered but I mean that i suggest things, just to make better the game man, 'cause like I said before, we are who play it later.
Like you said, it will be getting better with every version, of course that I want to the team do what I want, or the other guys want, I have read a lot of good suggestion that it could be done with more "passion" it would take more time to do it, but at the end, it's the same, they put what they want, some thing I like and some not, that why I suggest thing but tell me at least 10 suggestion that they has put it in the game.
for example, in DBZ people fly horizontally, when they turns on the aura it has wind, (like when you power up), cell use his tail, goku has Kaio-Ken, buu has that attack that rise his arm and shoot a lot od rays, freeza has the death ball in normal form, Final Flash trail should be mor bigger, Genkidama too(Spirit Bomb U.S.A :S) the maps are weird, meanwhile they should me like the shows, (namek, supreme planet, earth, tenkaichi budokai's tournament, cell arena must be different,) of of that the maps shoul be more larger too, lastnight I was playing (152.768.350 PL) and I shooted a Final Flash & I kill myself with the explosion, because teh map was to small, te scooter should tell you where your oponent is with a sound and an arrow, you should be able to throw away an enemy with the power of our aura (ki), the aura animation must be better and should grow in order to your power, and a lot of things more that could be done in 1.1 and 1.2, IT GOT TO BE LIKE THE ANIME.
With all that I'm not saying that what they do is wrong or suck, it cool but, my point it's that if i were you guys... I could do the game better... thatd what i think, you team, just keep doing it, oh and i almost forgot, all the things that they put in the game until now... I have planned years ago but I didn't have the tools, to finish this I just want to say this "IF I COULD BE IN THE TEAM, THING WILL GO BETTER AND FASTER" think wherever you want of this, it it's just one more suggestion of "according to you" a spamming guy who really like the game.
PD: do whatever you want with the mod, I'll try to keep playing the game although sometimes dreams with better things.
