The upcoming beta patch is not really my cup of tea. I can live with all of the current quirk, besides the lack of coops. I don`t find flying in df servers fun. The campaign, however interesting it may be, it is still offline play, which bores me.
My info tells me that the coop mechanics are nowhere to be seen, so meh, I will wait some more. No biggie.
Maaaaaybe if the patch gets to be succesful in terms of playing stability and fps performance, I may just try out one of the custom campaigns.

Probably the real thing that I`m looking for in CloD is another year away. Doesn`t really bother me. I find that nowadays video game market is so huge, that when I think of potential time-killers while waiting for the real thing, I immediately get around 6 big titles. And it doesn`t change over time, because new ones are being released month by month. So when I think of waiting for CloD to floourish, I am positive it will work out well at the time I get other things straight. There are so many other things to do.

Bottom line is, if life doesn`t let me down and I don`t get bad luck, I will be able to come up with a new cpu in fall of this year, so I`ll be ready to fire up CloD in settings near full of its graphical prowess. Ready for BoM also as a day one buy, preferably the CE version of it.

One has no choice really but to wait it out and its here when its here, not much is going to change that. I can wait, its not a huge issue. On a side note, I've found imo most games after a year have well worked through their bugs, just a thought, to pass the time.

Sums it up rather well

He was just making a simple statement, you really shouldn't let the state of his spirit affect you so. Its just a comment!

You should not expect a patch tomorrow. Patch releases are very big news and everyone is very excited about them. The developer knows that and usually shares information about a patch prior to release.

TBH I don't care. if the patch comes out i'll probably play it for 10mins and think " meh " and go back to iRacing.

for me the most pressing issues im interested in are in the following order of importance:

-flight models(as realistic as possible please)

-ai behaviour(im tired of 36 planes dont dare to attack me for more than two minutes only because i shot a few of them out of the sky.and im even more tired of getting on their six to shoot steady targets, not reacting anyway while one after the other ends in the channel)

-graphic engine optimisation(hopefully no launchercrashes, dot visibility problem
solved,more fps)

i want horses.. fully 3d modeled horses running in fields.. and a i want a dm and physics on them.

Why? cows not good enough for ya?!;)

Well, why not? :)
I remember playing a horse jumping event (in wireframe 3d no less) in an Olympic game on my Amiga around the 92 Barcelona olympics.
