Understaning Game & Forum

  • Hey All, a few questions from a german rescue-nerd. have been an active vff for a while now, and playing the german version of the game. Now I know things are very different to the original here, but I just wondered...most of ya'll call it the "american version" but how does that, the selection of apliances and rescue organisations work out for players from the UK,Oz & NZ ? Even in America I'd think there'd be more than the game currently has on offer ?
    Is there a chance to get in touch with the developer and make mission- appliance or general suggestions like there is in the german version ?
    in my current set up I'm playing down under in Ballarat/VIC, there is alliances tht cover the Melbourne area, but I wonder how they cope with the limited choice-they've got different police units, they've got plant-fire services, the SES, bare specialised units...but doesn't it get a little boring the way the game is set up now ?
    *Note : this is not a rant post, I'm just trying to get involved, understand and enjoy missionchief as much as I do Leitstellenspiel, maybe I could get some feedback or your thoughts on this ppl ? :)

  • It's a pretty universal game to be honest, I can still use it quite well as a UK user. Yes there is a lot of specialized stuff that isn't in the game, but there is magic of improvisation (something people don't seem to get now and again). Custom unit graphics and renaming generally does the trick.


    To me, it's a game, so I don't really go in for the whole realism thing, but it works for most on that front. There is the suggestions part of the forum, pretty self-explanatory. Whether the idea gets in or not depends on the arrangement of the stars that night. (I know a moderator is going to say otherwise, but when i see updates made which were only suggested 2 weeks before be integrated, and then stuff just be ignored for no apparent reason even when it's been brought up multiple times over the past year, I'm just saying)


    The developer does however make quite frequent little updates here, there and everywhere, which do make it feel better. There are big updates now and then. It can feel like a second hand shop from Leitstellenspiel and just in English, but I made my home on this version so It's where I'll stay.


    I hope it sort of helps you get the idea you wanted.

  • What is it with people always trying to bash the game, dev and mod team, I haven’t seen many vehicles suggested on here that haven’t been implemented. People just expect AAA development on a free to play browser game. To any dev and moderaters out there, the majority of us understand the reasons behind things taking time to get implemented and appreciate what is. Some people just should go and play Leitstellenspiel if they are not happy, but if they do can they go and moan on the Leitstellenspiel forums and Facebook so it doesn’t give are community a bad reputation of always being unhappy.

    Who was bashing anyone ? I asked a few questions and me181 gave me his opinion. I know my english isn't that bad so I think you should've understood I'm only trying to understand things right ? Might wanna read things a little more carefully b4 u make comments like that @EmergencyGuy123 ;)

  • Please dont let this get out of hand, i dont want to have to close it.


    To clear up some stuff in your post


    I personally cover mainly the UK so i would love for there to be some more UK units added however as myself and other mods have said in the past, Sebastian (The Dev) wants to keep this based on the US. I personally believe this should be done in a way that makes it fair for players from other areas of the globe as this is the only English Speaking version of the game so there are a lot of players from not only other English speaking countries but countries that may have a better understanding of English than German.


    In the US (And to a degree in the UK) alot of units have multiple rolls, rather than you having all of the different types of pumpers that you have in Germany for example, so that in its self means that there will be less units in this game. Other organisations such as search and rescue is something i would like to see however the current focus is getting police and ambulance up to a level comparable to fire.


    We see many suggestions on here and most of the liked ones do end up being passed on to the Dev, if they get added is the sole responsibility of him, we may insist that players really want to see a certain thing but if he doesn't like it its his game at the end of the day so he makes the final call on that, we do try though to implement as many suggestions as possible in a way that is fair to all players.

    You are right, but only to some extent, I personally don't expect this game to be everything, I thought I made that clear with the mention of improvisation.


    My apparent 'bashing' obviously hasn't been read properly, I'm trying to look on the bright side, with the updates that the developer has brought in, helis, boats of all sizes and not to mention the million or so little things. I can only thank the developer for doing this. Apparently everything is done in order of priority, but surely, someone needs to tell Sebastian to ignore Facebook comments cause it appears to be doing damage in some cases.


    I can't understand why you are then telling everyone to 'go moan moan somewhere else', makes little sense, surely we're entitled to make a few suggestions, which I was I was attempting to do rather trigger rants (evidently failed), and is this not the right place to make those suggestions?

  • Thank you for trying to make the game as fair as possible, I’m not going to lie it does irritate me a little bit when I see the “This game is based in America” argument because I know a large part of the community is from outside of the US.

    Sorry, I misunderstood, it just really irritates me that there are a few people that seem to be never happy with any update and just go out of their way to discredit the game, dev and mods.
