I don't take it rudely, we are both adult we can have a good discussion and listen to both sides of the story I think.

Well, I don't understand why the map hasn't been updated, we are driving now for 3 years in the same (small) map, after 1.4 there hasn't been a big update
What made you think that the next big update must be related to the map? We've never announced anything like that. In fact, fuel system and "taxi" mode both are big updates, which added important features, requested by our users. We did not invent them by ourselves out of the blue - these features had long been requested by the users.
well, I have seen it been requested a lot of times on Steam and here on the forum so I was really hoping for a upgrade of the map. and Yes, "Fuel System" was a many requested idea and I indeed think its a good thing for the game, it has some things that can be improved but for now its good enough. The "Taxi" mode indeed has been requested too, I went back on the topic
Feedback / Notes & Suggestions, and went back to end 2016 and indeed saw that some (inactive) users requested the taxi mode. I'm not a fan of it and I don't get why they requested it, but you indeed made a requested thing.
Regarding the polls - so, what does stop you? Even an ordinary user is able to make polls on the forum. I've seen even some sort of mini games in the offtopic section. It would be interesting for us to look at some sort of TOP-3 or TOP-5 of the most expected feautures. We will keep it in mind, however, I think I already know the most expected TOP-3
:
1. Multiplayer.
2. Multiplayer.
3. Multiplayer.
Well I think we have both diffrent idea's of what I thought on the poll idea, but then we make a agreement now, that I'll make multiply polls with idea's for the simulator to improve, i'll provide you with all the idea's that did win in the poll's, and will provide you also with the details of the idea's so that you guys hopefully can work them out.
and Multiplayer is not 1 of them, you have never seen me request it because its a boring and not realistic idea to make.
We usually do no announces in advance, just because we cannot guarantee time frames of the new release. We had situations in the past, when we did, and everytime we went outside the announced date, we had a lot of negative around us. We just don't want to repeat this experience.
I get that, but for example SCS (developers of ETS2) show pictures of the update or DLC they are working on, maybe you guys can do that too and ask us on the forum for advice or for our opnion.
also my "frustration" is because the active users on the forum have all over 250 hours in this game and much more before it came on steam, we all made multiply posts on the
Feedback / Notes & Suggestions topic but not really much of them got made, and I don't really see much difference in the game compared to version 1.4. but thats my opnion and how I think about it.
My idea for now:
lets make a deal, I'll start working out the polls and idea's for what we think as community that is the most needed for the game, i'll make polls for big update's and small updates. with the help of TJ, David and Jericho I want to keep those polls clean and only have reaction's from people with good reasons for a update, and the details of it. we will remove all suggestions for multiplayer, and finally make a poll of the top 5, and we will keep it updated.
but we can't do this whitout your help, I think it would be a good idea if you made a post in the Steam community with a message like for example this:
Dear community,
we would really like to know what we can improve and update for our game, please register to our forum and reply to these polls and posts (gives link to the topic's) also please tell why this update is needed. Please don't say multiplayer it won't be made.
*turns off reactions on steam*
and yes, I know there is also a community page on steam, but I think this is also a way to attract new people to the forum, and so we keep everything on 1 place to keep it clear for you guys (Forward Development) to see what we as community think.
But I also think it would be good if you keep us updated on some things or why some things aren't realistic to make for the game. so a bit more communication between you and the forum would be good
*Give me 48 hours and i'll work it out
