No patch makes me happy. Means they're onto something and working fiercly (spelling).

Here’s an email trail of my experience at work …

Manager:

Me:


Manager:


Me:


... this happened a day after demonstrating the application at a managers meeting and clearly stating that the application was not ready.

I feel for you Luthier

But... what if your last answer was like:

ME:You are right <Team Manager>. Is only our fault. We will stay here working for you 24/7 with no weekends, no family, "insert favourite sacrifice here"...

TEAM MANAGER:
Are you crazy? When we left yesterday's meeeting we ordered 50.000$ in brand new hardware just because you said that the performance calculator was almost done. We need it now!


<...>

See my point? Who fed the whine?

Jokes apart, human nature is so, we can't change that.

The pesimistic will disect every word and comma, make inferences and concludes the bottle as half empty. For god sake, some of them even will use a magnifying glass! (*)

The optimistic will see in every word of Luthier the bottle half full, if Luthier leaves a big shit in the middle or the room, they will think he is planning to gift them a horse. (*)

* Disclaimer: A caricature (from the Italian caricatura, which means "loaded portrait") is a portrait or drawing of a person that exaggerates the way they look, usually to create a humorous effect, or a political statement.

But almost everybody accepts that is half filled.
And is a fact that almost everybody, want it full.

As for me, the best thing I think I can do now is accept my role of beta testers and post in the correspondent thread our confirmed bug observations.

What I dont understand is why some don't accept it, and every time that one guy says "oh I love the game", or the opposite "i hate this game", has to intervene in the thread with something like "%$··" you moron, get out your ugly face of your 4$$hole".

I think you'll find people cant accept it because they have paid $40 and ended up being a beta tester not through their choice.

Now, get out your ugly face of your 4$$hole" (Joke)

I'm sure the patch will be here soon, think of it this way, maybe they have broke ground on the Full screen, and need a few more hours just to wrap it up!

Wow! Tuesday came and went and some poor guy simply expressed his disappointment at not seeing the update yet. Perhaps he thought someone else may have seen something he hadn't. Let's be honest, we're all wondering when....

I'm not sure what's worse, the simple expression of disappointment or the thread-gobbling self-righteous crud that followed it. To which I'm adding of course, but thats what threads are like aren't they?

Just a minute, let me get my asbestos suit on before you all start. Or maybe I'll go back to bed and get out the other side.

Hehe thanks now I see better

As a side note: I paid after having known of the first russian reports, so I had the option.... But I can accept (with some doubts hehe) that someone else bought blindly (for example a noob in this forum)

I think much of the discussions in this thread are rather hilarious, to be honest. So they didn't get the patch out yesterday. Big deal, zomgz someone call the whaaambulance.

Maybe it's because I've been playing MMO's for a very long time (most of it dealing with Funcom), but I've learned to have patience. Luthier & Co will put out a Beta-patch when they feel it's ready for testing.

Sometimes they'll have to push back an estimated release date. So what? Are people actually THIS impatient?

On second thought, nevermind answering that. I think the answer is pretty much given.

[Eklund89]

I actually think its hilarious to see when we get a patch and everybody gets happy like little kids. Then it takes about 2-3 days to a week until they start whine and whine and moan and bitch about stuff that didn't get fixed. After yet another week they start coming up with epic conspiracy theories about everyone and everything involved in IL2 COD being a scam and fake and everything is just bad because they have no patience. I lol each time.

I'm just happy luthier et al. don't care about the whiners and continue work.
