to the idiots at sins and impulse.. update the damn mods board!!

from Sins Forums

yeah, it's NOT funny at all when i can find mods for sins from the modders, that the mods actually works with the lasest sins entrenchment update 1.04 on their personal pages, but if i go to either the sins download page or use impulse to get new up-to-date mods for entrenchment 1.04.. i get directed to a page that only lists shit that is from AUgust 09!!!!!

 

wtf? stardock/impulse???? get ur act together and update teh damn mod site! I already see that your customer service has gone the way the US economy wnet last year.. in the crapper and no one ever answers the phone anymore and u do not reply to emails.

oh and i have given you, stardock/impulse ever since the October update for sins-entrenchment 1.04 to see updated mods and i know that the modders make updates as soon as ironclad makes a patch for them to use.

the mods have been updated by the modders, so update your damn site or continue folding!

yiddo.... my g/f suggested that i make my comment in the first place :) we both thinks it rude of stardock to not be updating the mods site when a new updated version of a mod comes out. that is their job seeing as stardock is the place that puts up the mods in the first place!

but thanks for ur comments :) at least someone reads my posts haha

Why do you think stardock or ironclad should be responsible for keeping track of third party modifications?  I would imagine it would be up the developer of that mod to make sure things are updated to the latest version.

i'm sorry -Ue_Carbon.. glad ur monitoring posts on here, but maybe u should check the numbering system on here.. my member number is about 3 million menbers older than urs is :) meaning that i've been doing stardock/impulse a bit longer than u have.

next, I said I can find modder updates on their personal pages, but stardock, who does manage the sins mod update page, by-the-way, hasn't put an update on the damnable mods page since aug 09. if one goes to the sins page and tries to 'download a mod' they get sent to the damnable incorrect impulse mods page with the un-updated mods on it.

THirdly, yes i do think this is the best way now to get my point across, cause i have already emailed stardock before about this problem and i've recieved no replies when i was all 'kiss-assey' in my emails to them.

I will always start out very nice when i'm starting out on a question, u -Ue, will not always see my start point. usually when i get around to the public forums, i've already gone through other channels to get something fixed.

 

oh and here is a 'case-in-point'... Requiem_v2.7.0_full_release.. this mod was updated for sins entrenchment 1.04 in late nov 09. it's been available to play since early Dec 09, but does it show up on impulses sins mod page at all????

answer is NO. and the default for the mod page is to show the newest mods first. nothing has been updated on that stardock controlled page since august 09. that page is where stardock and impulse has chosen as the only place that we can go to look for mods for the sins games.

so with that being the only place to find the mods, then stardock/impulse will be held accountable for making sure the mods get placed on that page in a timely manner. and that means 2 days at the most. this is a digital world we are talking about. NO humans nedd to check the validity of teh mods for anything. the site certainly can run a creditable virus checker on all new updated mods when they are unloaded to the page. therefor it should NOT take days to upload an update.

The Stardock site is a place where people can upload. If people choose not to update, that is not the fault of anyone at Stardock.

Moderation of any upload occurs to make sure that the item does not either cause problems or infringes copyright.

The ability of someone to behave like a complete dick has nothing to do with the size of their user number ;)

There's been a technical issue preventing me from accessing the moderation system for some time.

As many modders used third-party hosting resources even when it did work, I haven't been able to get the investigation of the issue prioritized (especially as there's a complete revamp of WC impending anyway).

Edit: I had someone check and there's only been one mod submitted (a couple of ships from SG-1) since I was last able to access the queue. So it would indeed appear that most modders simply aren't even submitting mods to WC.
