Star Wars Alliance Rebellion

Mod review

My rating is a 1/10 and heres why in a breakdown.

The content of the mod is its only shining redeeming quality the content is easily 8/10. There is not a single other mod for SWEAW in existance that puts as many units from as many timeframes up as this one. Therefore this must be said and noted as positive, this is however nowhere near enough to save it.

The mod is riddled with bugs, from the unit type selection not always working, to unclear lines of progression, no specific tutorial on how to work with the individual factions and a general poor faq that is in some cases unintelligable for standard english users.

The Exception crashes... oh my dear god the exception crashes... they are constant, and happen 1 or more times per hour, the savegame states that degrade and in some cases dissapear with no explanation or reason. Instead of bugfixing NomadaFirefox prefers to simple continue slapping on more and more content which makes the problem worse.

Which brings me to the final and most damning points of this review. The Author NomadaFirefox himself. His arrogant, hostile, confrontational, and childish attitude towards even the slightest criticism or commentary that makes him or his work look flawed is absolutely rediculous. He refuses to post any further files on moddb because ''too many negative people are here''. So he hides everything behind a forum wall that can only be accessed via an account he must personally approve. All negative voices especially criticism are handed an IP localized permaban with the reason of ''troll''. Beyond that the vast majority of help requests on his site are either answered with a link to his ''rules page'' or answered with either one of the following ( which confirms his limitless arrogance)
1. You installed it wrong
2. Your PC sucks
3. His PC is modern therefore yours should be able to run it ( ignoring the simple fact that his computer doesnt equal everyone elses, this is what criticism and feedback is for...)

In short this author reminds me of Casey hudson, the director for Mass Effect, who pretty much told her fans ''we are game developers you are customers, deal with it and dont tell us what to do'' NomadaFirefox represents the absolute worst of the modding community and this destroys any hope for the mod or his budgeoning community.

Final Thought: Mods that dont even upload their files to moddb and require alternate site registration should be removed, this is not what moddb is for.

PS: he permabanned me from his site, i actually tried to reason with him and he gave me some speech about ''being negative'' then threatened to ban me on moddb... thankfully authors do NOT have the ability to remove reviews of their work.

PPS: i actually tried donating to his site, forgot my credit card wasnt working because i got a new one, decided to just try again next day, banned me for ''lying''. Stating in his forum post that ''this isnt moddb and i cant say what i want''(check a screenshot i uploaded to my profile) WARNING: Allergy to truth detected!
