Charging 49.99 for a game that was literally not ready to be released, I don’t know how you expect people not to be argumentative 
. We’re not idiots, Ross was telling people to “wait for the day 1 patch”, the video from early access 1 said the main focus is gameplay so people are gonna argue these points

We will remove any posts that do not follow the guidelines. Thats it. The inability to follow these guidelines is up to each person, I just blocked one person’s account for constant breaking of the rules. It is also not our personal choice when extended patch notes get published.

This doesn’t make sense though if it’s not up to you when the extended patch notes are released how does it have anything to do with this forum just completely contradicts what Lachie was saying earlier
See the word “share” we do not make the notes, we share them with the community on behalf of the team.

Well when I jump on and see what Lachie is dealing with. I can act with more authority, so had to do some house keeping.

If the patch notes are not made by you and are made by the team then a quick copy and paste and posting them in here takes no time at all. This should not be affected by you having to deal with what you are calling “Social Commentary” or Argumentative language. Just seems like a bit of an excuse to me but I will leave it at that

@JNT_BA appreciate that there are rules to the forum that is fine but a lot of the posts on here are people frustrated with their current experience of the game and the minimal communication on what is being done to change things. We were told that there would be a road map prior to launch outlining rosters and face scans, we’ve not seen that and now Ross has now said there will be a gameplay patch tomorrow. It would just be great to get a bit more communication ahead of time on when roadmaps are coming and what to expect in patches.

You know I was going to delete this but let’s use this as a teaching moment. Lachies job is not to simply sit here and watch the forums and “paste” things. If you think that, then that’s a weird job to have. He and the others in my team have many responsibilities. Every action taken here means something takes longer there and what takes longer there means less here. It’s kind of like time is a finite resource and every action has a knock on effect. Especially while I’m not in studio to directly help them. Lachie also helps with the support site for people who actually need assistance. So yeah when he’s here, people who genuinely need help and are not sitting here with the “social commentary” lose out.

Slow motion kicking could be a simple off on toggle. An online league function is essential to retain interest in online play.

Understandable I get that, I really do. But that’s unfortunately not our call. But we will certainly be here when there is updates. But this is a perfect way to get that across, thank you for keeping it reasonable.
Hey guys,
Is the game down?
I cannot login after a few restarts.
Let me check in with the team about this one.
@JNT_BA I think a few might be disappointed Lachies job title isn’t the chief operations manger of complaints and updates

Hmmm interesting. My team can get in and I can get in from outside of studio. DM me your steam/console user name and I’ll check in with the online team.
Will do.
Reports on the discord that others are also getting this.
This is on PC/steam.
@Valhalla_Vagabond @MaD_Dragon_Rugby have let me know they also can’t log in.

Agree, not sure if you have played online but it has potential. Tackling really needs to be improved in this aspect though, most of my tries online scored and conceded have 3/4 players in range to tackle but player switching is too buggy.
Keen to keep this on topic as I’m sure the BA lads are, but as someone who works in QA, if you want to feed back on something’s quality, give quality feedback. This means:
- Don’t make disparaging remarks about others work.
- Don’t pester for updates. Ask questions, sure. But don’t take it the wrong way if it isn’t answered. It won’t always be possible for it to be, as has been said.
- If you’re making what you believe to be a useful suggestion, qualify and explain it in detail. ‘Make X like Rugby 22’ without any specific definition as to how what you would like to see differs from Rugby 25 is not useful. If you don’t know how to voice what you’d like to see in a way that is quantifiable, that’s ok, but consider whether what you’re posting adds value.
- Read the thread. There’s lots of duplicate points in here, I’ve been guilty as a recent joiner of covering things that have already been said. If you’ve something new to add, great, but if it’s ’I can’t win a lineout’ for the 100th time, again ask yourself if this adds value.
Climbing off my high-horse now to report my first crash upon doing a quick lineout. For some reason the ball went into the hands of the opposition ten who ran it back into the 22 and stood still, and all the other players froze. I switched sides in settings and ran to the other end and touched down for a try, then the game crashed. Submitted a report as prompted via Playstation with a video. All in all, just found it pretty funny. I was losing anyway.
