Mystery Stream Next Week | What's Coming?!

That's twice you've said this about Trent Valley. Any evidence to back up this assertion? Note that this cancelled mystery livestream is not evidence, as nobody outside DTG knows what it was going to be.

 

This is a privately run forum for a train simulation video game. Get a grip.

 

to be fair on Harry, Alex and Jamie everything they officially put out is signed off by someone else, they create the content and then someone else pulls the strings. same dilemma Matt faces when he talks passionately about the game only to be scuppered by a decision maker above him. the senior leadership team seem to be facing some struggles and unfortunately DTG responds to these by going totally silent and leaving players (and seemingly it's team) in the dark.

 

Youre the one who needs to get a grip Mark

 

Oh the irony of people falling out with each other in this thread.
If you think about it, absolutely nothing has change.
The stream was a mystery last week and we now know that it is still a mystery today.

I believe that all that has happened is that the people in charge of delivering the live stream to DTG Towers have got stuck in traffic.

 

Big update just announced. Well, long list of things anyway. Seems to be 805 and Birmingham Crewe get a fair look in too. Maybe this is part of the 'mystery' revealed...?

lol ok cool bro xx

 

They didnt cancel the stream because of the heat, ok.
Some of you reallly.... nah seriously really need to calm down, go out and touch some grass, be careful though it might be hot in your area. If it is hot dont blame Dovetail.

Yes agreed I'm here less and less. It's become an echo chamber and a conduit for conspiracy theories.

It's pitiful to watch as it actually used to feel like a community.

 

No evidence and there never will be. When it's released those that revelled in the misery they seem to enjoy, will stay silent and act like nothing was said in the first place. It happens often. Still they have a little coterie on here to side with

 

I wonder if this will quell some of the doom mongers?!

 

Agree, thoroughly lifted my wet bus ride into work this morning.

Case in point.

 

I had a lot of potential disappointments on my bingo card, but "removing content in an attempt to un-gently caress the textures" was not one of them.

 

Have you ever considered that this may be a good trade-off? Memory is not unlimited, so something has to go. Could well be the right choice.

 

I would say anyone who liked to drive the Class 86 or 87 on BtC will not consider this a good trade off.

 

Some people are impossible to appease. So my guess is no.

 

That doesnt make sense at all. A rail tour side quest should never be more important than a well functioning main course. But hey, that's just my opinion I guess.

 

Maybe DTG need to start marking certain timetable layers as "side quests" so we can tell the difference and know to expect their future removal.

 

It will be ok, guys.

 

An appointment was cancelled.
Okay....
How has anyone upset about it ever functioned in life thus far?
If my dentist cancels/moves an appointment, I don't always demand a full detailed explanation or compensation.
Life happens.
You just reschedule and move on.
They don't ask ME for a huge drawn out explanation if I have to move my appointment.
People seem to think DTG "owes" them something above and beyond.
If you had been "harmed" then you might have a case, but what is the "harm" you have suffered?
You have to wait one more week to find out what the "secret mystery you didn't know about before" is?
They could just toss it up on the store and say "there it is, buy it if you want."
They don't have to do any "reveal" at all, it's all for free entertainment.
People arguing for not getting something free on schedule seems silly.

 

Where is the dislike button?! Sorry but they have cancelled a few streams now so its very fair that people asking whats happening right? You're approach is a little silly...

 

Has this harmed you beyond mild disappointment?

 

So there won't be any announcement about new "Thomas and Friends meet ridiculous bugs" today?

 

the fact that the page has existed on steam since the 11th raises this suspicion, doesn't it?
of course, nothing confirms this, it's all theorizing and speculation
but in the end, everything we write here is theorizing and speculation

 

We often wonder why DTG staff have decided to take a step back from the forum... Theres room for criticism where it's necessary. But the amateur dramatics on this thread alone, answers that question!

I don't use Discord, but does the same amount of hand bags at dawn go on there?

 

We don't wonder, it's because they are busy fixing everything.

 

Well atleast there’s the June Roadmap coming up.

 

And it will be exactly the same as the last one .

 

That’s a embarrassing reason, I guess DTG can’t afford a tap and some cups

 

Not just that, if you have the 805 they have removed quite a bit from that too.

I never had any major issues with Crewe-Brum nor West Coast South but now I'm missing out, cheers DTG.

Not going to be a good selling point for Trent Valley at this rate, "Yes you can have the route but if you want to use the 805, 807 or Pendolino you can only do so on a couple of services, sorry" followed by "oh yeah and we removed the static AI so the stations are totally dead too". Anyone got that South Park BP "Sorry" meme to hand?

 

From what I've seen lately, the conversation on Discord is more relaxed, and the DTG team participates much more in discussions than here. Of course, there are still some questions, but it's clear that it's more civilized than here.

Besides being easier to interact, it's probably because of the curt responses on this forum that the DTG team is communicating very little here, only providing basic information to avoid conflicts...

 

for those who didn't know, the livestream got cancelled.

they might as well just leak what this MYSTERY stream is all about.

 

See I beg to differ, if they were here more often they could deal with a lot of issues before they get out of control. Just look at this thread for example, one of them could have stepped in days ago to quell some of the speculation and latterly dispel rumours but instead they are nowhere to be found and thus the echochamber of speculation kicks into high gear.

Without wanting to sound nasty I do actually wonder what the role of the community team actually is? It's a paid role so surely they are expected to do more than a typical volunteer who mods a forum in their spare time, so what are they doing?

 

I'm revising my decision to stay away from Discord as the hysteria on here is getting beyond parody.

It seems some are deliberately trying to accelerate the demise of the forums. Yet still complain about lack of interaction.

You couldn't make it up frankly.

 

You're informing us it's been cancelled by replying to a thread that already contains four pages of discussion about why the livestream got cancelled

 

Probably lol. The last two have been bare…

 

Four pages is a lot to ask, it's good to have a "previously on" every now and again.

 

Some of them have very large egos
And hell some would get annoyed at you for debating people on the discord

 

Even private discord servers among """""friends""""" were awful, I can only imagine a public one being hell on earth...

 

Still better than here when it comes to communication and format

 

I can certainly understand the frustration, we were told last week that there was going to be a "mystery" stream, then the day before, DTG announced it's cancellation and apart from advising it was a hot week (undeniably true in the UK), nothing more has bene forthcoming - i'm as patient as it's possible to be, but it's not unreasonable to wonder what is going on.

 

Could you please show me on the doll where DTG hurt you?

 

It would have been nice atleast if DTG had gave us a new date for this “mystery stream”.

 

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one

 

So that's "no", then. Thought so.

 

I don't think she was being serious.

 

You're not serious?

 

You bet he is. Unbelievable but true.

 

Fair, I only prefer it because it doesn’t delete what I was writing if the app/ site crashes or freezes unlike the forums but that’s only a issue if you write a lot
