I hate to break it to you but yes they did. This is a feedback threat for the 4.17 preview and I gave my feedback. So you are wrong.
As for the rest, i state it here once and then this threat is muted for me, so don’t bother answering because I won’t get into a mudfight in any forum anymore and furthermore this thread is not meant for this discussion, but since that other user has chosen to bring his insults up in public, I will also address it here in public, although I much prefer to keep these kinds of discussions private: I have made a valid comment about the scope of Epics updates in the last two versions. Nothing, absolutely nothing is there that you can use unless you have top graphic artists to utilize your stuff or a high level understanding of 3D graphic and render techniques. If I had that, I would perhaps write my own render engine. Since I can’t do that, I use Epic’s.
The other poster basically told me :You are too stupid to understand the great things Epic is adding, so bring your stupid little brain up to my level, then you can appreciate the new features like I do and you will forget about minor stuff like problems with too large a foliage paint area and splitting up the foliage mesh" which is a problem that exists with all large outdoor maps by the way. THAT would be something everybody could benefit from who creates large outdoor scenes.
But no, instead of addressing my valid suggestion that chose to insult me. Coincidentally YOU choose to chastise me for telling him that did not ask him for an opinion on my mental capabilities but was making two valid suggestions instead. I was not belittling Epic’s work, nor was I insulting the in any way like was he insulted me. I merely told him that I was not interested in his uncalled for opinion. In your view, that is the offense here, not the fact that he suggested that I was stupid? Fine moderator you are then.
I have often noticed that people don’t like when you tell them the truth, coincidentally oftentimes in forums of 3D engines I worked with in the past (and yes I am not a noob to using 3D engines). My experience with Irrlicht, Ogre and the C4 engine forums, in that order, was this: People laud the creator into the heavens and compete with each other about giving compliments. Then I point out certain flaws in their engines that need to be addressed and then there are some members (not the owners or moderators in all of those cases, regular players, just like here) who want to become the top apple polisher who attack me for not giving praise to their master’s divine creation. So yeah, the pattern here fits exactly in my experience which is why I usually don’t comment here and don’t visit the forum. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do again from now on, because I realize that it’s not the truth that matters but blind praise.
Go ahead close my forum account, in fact I would appreciate it since I can’t find an option here to do that, looks like the forum has no such control options.
