SCS General Discussion Thread

[55sixxx]

And into another monotonous blog year we go. Which basically summarizes to:

-Map DLC post,
-Map DLC post,
-Map DLC post,
-Rework post,
-Map DLC post,
-Map DLC post,
-Rework post,
-W.I.P Content that we'll probably take well over a year to come out,
-Repetitive Event Announcement post
-and straight back to Map DLC post again and so on.

Would be nice if they made blogs dedicated to things that actually improve gameplay and performance... But that's just not gonna happen. SCS should even change the blog's name to Map Blogpost Simulator.

On the 2020 Xmas stream it was said that 2021 would be a year with a lot of major improvements and that Pavel was confident about it... We only saw Convoy mode as the only meaningful update.
On the 2021 Xmas stream the same thing was said and we only saw Driveshaft Torque as the only (kind of) meaningful update (Adjustable suspension was nice but honestly.. It should have come out way before close to the Liftable Axles update).
On the 2022 Xmas stream the same thing was, once again, said and I doubt that 2023 will be any different than '22, '21 and '20.

Ok.

Pavel said on the Montana Release Stream that as we were moving into the Midwestern states, they would be bringing new gameplays mechanics. They are definitely working as stated by Pavel on the Christmas Stream last year, when they feel comfortable sharing to the public, they will share. Just a patience question. It's no use for them to share anything now, even if they have something in the Alpha stage, because the moment they share it, people will start demanding that they release.

Exactly, just because we didn’t get to see it doesn’t mean that they aren’t working on anything. The year has just begun, so patience.

We have 40+ weeks left. 2023 just started. It's not over already. If we haven't gotten things in the past.....that's the past. I look for the future, not the past. If things aren't ready to talk about, we can't make SCS feel guilty into talking. They develop slower than we like so we get news slower as a result.

Map dlc's have way less impact blogging early info months in advance. Not a lot of harm there presenting info that hasn't released. Talk about a game feature like a map dlc and all hell breaks loose. This community isn't mature enough to handle impactful features so far out. That stuff has to be mentioned for the update it releases to.

That's why Convoy Multiplayer was revealed on the 2020 Christmas Stream, as they felt confident it was in an almost final stage of development and that it was time for the public to know.

Light system update?

Exactly, it's also obvious that West Balkans will take much longer than Iberia did. I think this is how releases will go this year.

1. West Balkans - September or October
2. Oklahoma - August
3. Kansas - November or December

[Trucker Nik]

Oklahoma is released after 1.47 and Balkan with Kansas after 1.48 I will not write the months of release

[xXCARL1992Xx]

1.47 wont likely not have any map DLC after release and 2 map DLCs within one version update also wont happen
