Hello everyone, my Suggestion to Dovetailgames for now is that they shouldn't bring out any new DLC for a while (Except for rush hour). Please first take care of the existing DLC´s in Routes and Locomotives that are not have the Quality of the current releases. Examples?! Here are: The PIS not working on all Routes. The Rails and Game World of GWE (and other Routes) need many Improvements. You can´t switch the Cameras for the Class 166 in Cab view. The Lights at Night is not as Good on many of the released Routes. ...and so on... The List for all DLC´s is much longer. If you bring out more DLC´s, I think the quality of other releases will fall behind. For me personaly, it would much better, if all Releases have the same Quality Level. No matter how old or new a DLC is. Better you bring out high Quality content than rushed and incorrect content. Now it can be said that you will have a lack money and the income as a result. As long as you don't publish any content, just give a permanent discount on DLC's and you won't have any losses of Income for this Time period. You will get more Money from us and we got better Quality Content from You. Also for Content that we have all already paid for.
If you don't know, they are doing this kind of things. You can check the Roadmap for more information.
Preservation team exists. And, on the roadmap, this is all in progress, some things (like the 166 thing) will be added when GWE gets a focus. New Releases are crucial to their business and it's what most people want.
What i mean is, that the Work of DTG is for me they are a little bit of overstrained at the moment. I look to every Roadmap entry and read every Line of it. And sure, i know there is a preserved Collection Team for the old Addons. But i think the number of Employees are not unlimeted. And with every new DLC´s, i think they will not catch up the whole work of all DLC´s. For Example: DLC "A" - older DLC (need rework) DLC "B" - older DLC (need rework) DLC "C" - older DLC (need rework) and much more.. DLC "H" - in development DLC "I" - in development and much more.. DLC "M" - Part of something like Rush Hour DLC "N" - Part of something like Rush Hour and the list goes on and on So, if they - only for a Moment - stop to Release more DLC´s, and focus of the older Ones, that would be a better sign for me. But in the end they have to know for themselves whether and how they can do it. This is only a Suggestion...
So you want them to stop earning revenue so they can fix what’s broken in the previous releases? Sure DTG will have a look and and but there’s a reason why DTG has a preserved collection to begin with. The fixes might not come tomorrow or next week but at some point bugs will be fix and add new improvements. Whenever new DLC releases, you don’t have to buy them right away because you can always wait for a sale.
Once upon a time... in a land far far away lies the preservation crew team, working hard behind the scenes to improve existing routes
And how are the people who work for DTG supposed to eat or afford to live? Yes bugs need looking at, and DTG brought over the preserved routes when they had absolutely no need to do so, but to say "Hey, stop earning money so my 166 driver can do something they don't do in real life" is a bit of a stretch for me.
