From now on I gonna activly not wait for the patch as I think it might have the same result as lighting a fag/cigg while waiting for the bus.

Are people here still struggling with the language here:

Luthier: "So, barring more botanic discoveries, we’ll have it out no earlier than the end of the day Monday"

No earlier than = it will not be released before end of day Monday (i.e. will be sometime after Monday)
No later than = it will be released by or before end of day Monday

As a few have stated before this post, no earlier than the end of day Monday means it'll be released between 00:00 Tuesday morning and anytime after that....

Jeeeeezzzz, :confused:

hey said by Friday that they would have been ready, if it wouldn't have been that "small" bug with the online map.

now, any sane reason would read that as in it should not take longer than another day at most to fix the damn thing and get the near Friday release on track for Monday..

Yet, Luthier said no earlier than Monday..

But we're already on Tuesday late afternoon and still no sign of the famous patch.. which means either that the Friday "we've almost did it" was simply a lie, either.. sorry, I can't make any other sense to it..

Even more on this, the patch is a beta one, as in not intended for official release. But it is also not intended for us to test it neither, as none of the beta patches were released as they were (ie all of the officially released ones had another patch number, ie they were in fact other patches).. So, if so, why bother about some damn too tall grass on a map none of us was really expecting (as in no one expected the patch for that damn map)?!!

It simply makes no sense at all.. :(

true i dont think that many of us wait for the patch because of this map.maybe there are other issues as well

No and yes. It is like writing 2.99€ instead of 3.00€ - actual difference is minor, but psychologically it is perceived bigger than it is. The same is with "not earlier than".

Hehehe. Actually, if you want to be pedantic about it 'no earlier than before end of day monday' does not preclude the possibility of it arriving at the end of day monday. It simply means 'at that time, or later'. Neeer Neeer. :grin:

Note, I'm just having a laugh, I'm not actually that anal lol. The obvious inference was that there was a possibility of it arriving end of day Monday, but not before.

Not arsed though. I'll wait a week as long as its good. :grin:

Luthier works for 1C. Clod is a product. If Luthier says "end of monday" the natural interpretation is that he means end of their workday.
And as Luthier and 1C operates in Moscow it's their timezone.
Now, the only thing we don't know is when their workday ends. I'm not russian but 08.00 - 17.00 seems to be standard business hours around the globe.

So I started this thread 1.45 hours before 17.00 moscow time. Most posts in this thread asking for the patch is AFTER 17.00 moscow time.

Crystal clear!!

Lol Dude he's right, no earlier is the clue... Luthier didn't say it would be out on Monday.

This bumping is gonna get me a temp ban but who cares as the patch will be released today so won't have time to chat anyhow.
