Read the previous posts. If you need to upgrade now, should you get some budget parts (like a budget graphics card) that'll you'll want to replace again by the time the game comes out?

But look back on the history of how 'rough timeframe’ released by Oleg and co have been treated by the community. A 'maybe' is treated like something set in stone. 'Should' is translated as definitely.
How can you give a timeline when optimising a section of code or removing a bug may require a whole section of the programme to be re-written using a different algorithm?

Yes I understand your point, but they have a better idea than we do, and it's all about communication. They said many would be flying online by Oct 10 - they must have realised that wasn't going to be the case a fair while before then, so just let us know. It's not like it's taking time because they're being lazy, so why not just be upfront and keep us informed? The 'rough timeframe' is something they'd keep updating, it's not like they'd say 'about 4 months' and then say nothing again until after 6 months had passed.

When Oleg and his Publisher (who ever that may be) are confident of a release date, they will probably tell us. Be Sure!

Yes, but they have a better idea than us, so why not share it?

Well you have more money to spend on PCs than most of us.

Trigaar f.i. needs a new system(I guess), but he wants it to be tailored for SoW, just like many of us.

I couldn't wait to build a system (old one had become such hassle with XP, and too slow to work), but I built it without a new graphics card. So I now have an i7 with a GT6600 graphics card - a bizzar mix. That means no current games until I upgrade the card. Thinking the game would be out sometime around 6 months, I've ordered a new GC, but honestly, if we were told it could be up to a year, I'd cancel that order and wait for the next generation of cards. But I'm just an example, there are others waiting to upgrade, and we're just after some information, we're not simply being impatient children. |
