And I see pings still haven't been fixed.
Pathetic.
Just goes to show you how much Firaxis cares about this community when they haven't gotten around to fixing a game crippling bug that they knew about before the game was released.

Mookie, the first two patches were nothing more than quick compatibility patches between "localized" versions of the game. The "real" patch is still in development. I fail to see why you post in a forum for a game you no longer play just to incite negative responses to a game everyone else is enjoying.
We all know what the bugs are and so do the developers, patches have to go threw QA even after being beta tested, and you know this, so lets keep the rhetoric to a minimum please.

Mookie, I bet you have bought many Live cd's and tickets to their concerts, but I doubt they would pay your electric bill if you couldn't. Just goes to show how much Live cares about you Stay away Eyesofnight.

Mookie and the beta testers put alot of time into the testing process of BTS only to have their ideas be shot down by the developers and SP players repeatively and right now MP BTS is paying for it. Pings still have not been fixed and probably won't be for some time.

It's like old people whining about things on tv. If you don't like don't watch.
Mookie may be a legend in the small civ player multi community, but he his not a legend with firaxis. Nor does making mookie happy make the most money.
Although no sound pings makes no f**king sense to me either.

1) I did pay for BTS. 2) I've played my first ladder game of BTS.
Do I have the right to complain now?
Developers who care release immediate patches to fix game crippling bugs. Many games are released with 0 day patches to fix nasty bugs they missed. Would it have been that hard for Firaxis to include one fix that kills MP teamers in one of the first two patches they have released?
Sorry, but in my opinion, a lot of people paid good money for this XP and deserve more immediate attention to bugs they knew about *before* the XP was released.

you have to be pretty devoted to the series to continue playing this game online. Some are pretty devoted to posting their bitchy complaints....over and over and over. Even the agreeable gripes are rehashed. Pings, yea they are useless now. What is missing, as I never use the civ volume,( just my own music -mostly to drown out the kids in the house ) is the icon, such as the city razed icon in bottom of screen, click on it and you get teleported to the sight of said ping. Now that is effencient!

Personally I think there are many problems with BTS, but I think the simple fact that you care enough to post in complaint about this game means that they must have done something right with it. Otherwise you would have just put the game down and completely walked away, you are acting like a child, wont eat your dinner because it has a tiny bit too much salt or something. It's more than good enough!! eat it!!! you know you are hungry!! Do you have ANY idea how minute a deal this whole ping thing is? I still remember civ3, we didn't get pings or even shared tech and shared line of sight and shared wonders. kids these days are spoiled! lol
Count your blessings firaxis has bigger fish to fry.

ARG, I remember walking 11 miles through the snow with no shoes just to get to a phone line connection to play civ3 on dial-up! and you think YOU had it tough earl! remember when "iron-man" meant "IRONMAN?" Swissy, Neal, SPM, OvO, "ole'iron-pants" magzie, and a few dedicated others who would play one game for more than 24 hours straight? Now they can "sub it out" like a dry mother with a wet-nurse. HONESTLY, I saw one of them posting in the lobby today, "why should I clear cookies, why can't I just eat them?" his buddy posted IMMEDIATELY after "are there milkNcookies" too? SHEEEEEEEEEESH!!!

Welcome to the club Mookie. You're just now realizing what the rest of us did back in 2005. There's a reason Canuck is able to remain in control of the community, and it's not because his ladder is just that damn good or his management is desirable. The fact is that this game flopped as far as MP goes. It is also the worst game in the series and if you go argue with some of the apolyton SP players you'll understand why. The truth is that there isn't really much out there anymore since all games are following the same trend: Dumbed down gameplay and "simplification." Designers simply feel that players aren't intelligent enough anymore to handle anything beyond what a 5 year old can learn. You are wasting your breath, and you're figuring out what the Civ3 beta testers figured out...Firaxis has never and will never listen to you. Don't be surprised if Civ5 doesn't even have MP, and if it does, it will only be because today's games are expected to have it. Ideally, we'd all find a new game to move to, but there's just nothing out there and I've come to accept this after the failure of AOE3 as well. Maybe someday they'll go back to focusing on gameplay instead of stripping the games of any strategy or skill. I'll just stick to my game of Civ2 every other month or so to satisfy my gaming urge.
MMV, I find it ironic you get on people for whinning when you are one of the biggest whiners on here and have many times talked about how you are going to quit the game. Grow some balls and do what you say you're going to do for once. Otherwise, admit that you're just another Firaxis fanboy.

There are two games that should be kill the MP civ for me, one is do out Sept 18, World In Conflict. The other is Starcraft 2 (We all know Blizzard is going to actually spend some time on their MP testing.) It's a shame because Civ could be such a great MP game, however in the hands of Firaxis I don't believe Civ can ever achieve this. Their developers are far to narrow minded to ever create something innovative, they are just content on putting CivilizationX on the box and selling it.
