Have to say though that I'm more concerned about this unexplained delay (not due to coding issues or finances we have been told) than about some of the other panics that have flared on the forums in the last year.

I understand the incessant pressure from members here for news, but all too often the devs seem to end up shooting themselves in the foot by making some announcement, creating anticipation and excitement and then...squandering that excitement and enthusiasm by not handling whatever delays or difficulties are encountered very well.

The current situation is a good example. The information blackout as to the true situation probably has good reasons behind it, but as public relations it is pretty disastrous.

I realise there is an element of 'damned if they do, damned if they don't' here, but as a fan of this game it is discouraging to see good news and good will too often squandered by poor communication of the (often inevitable) difficulties encountered in developing complex software.

---really wanted to make it clear that the above isn't any kind of criticism of BlackSix and his attempts to keep us informed, for which I'm as grateful as anyone. It's more the decisions higher up the chain that cause the problems

There are some chances to make a beta version later this year. I would not wait for the final patch, but this is my personal opinion. This is not official information.

I feel very great pressure on this issue.
When Ilya has announced a new content patch (18 November) it was impossible to predict subsequent events.
I think now that the best solution would be total silence. Rumors - this is much worse than no information.

So true.. And this forum, like no other, generates more rumors than Paris Hilton blog!

Keep up the good work BlackSix.. And know that most of us know that you are not responsable for the rumors people generate from reading in and around what you actully said!

Don't worry, be happy!

Unless the language barrier is muddying thing up something fierce, the easiest interpretation of this alongside "don't wait for final" is "You'll get a patch, if by patch you mean pay for the integrated sequel, LOL", Black Shark 2 style. Or at the very least, "we can't be bothered with proper CloD patches until BoM is out"

I hope that it's just me that gets that impression. I wonder when the guys telling BS what he can and can't say will realise that "need to know" method of marketing hasn't been cool with customers where any product is concerned for decades. Thanks for the info & updates anyway BlackSix.
