Exellent

Many people don't need help with the "misguiding", they manage to do that fine on their own. It would do wonders if people read what was written instead of what they want to read or stop posting knee-jerk replies when things don't match their expectations. That would go a long way in pacifying this board without throwing out bans like confetti on a carnival parade.

Bongodriver: there we are then, joined in a positive plan of action.

Please do not think it rude if I point out, respectfully, that 'exellent' does, in fact, contain a 'c'.

Thus: 'excellent.'

Hell, Germany has a foreign minister whose english is an abonimation and an embarrassment to my nation! And you complain about not-so-perfect English used for posting news on a flight sim message board?

Maybe tinsy winsy bit unfair. Call me a grammar nazi.

It was not meant against B6, but more against how 1C chose to represent itself on forums and I stand behind my point. I'll edit my previous post to convey the message better.

On the other hand, I was quiet when it was horrible, now, when it got MUCH better, I felt obliged to say it is appreciated and how it felt before.

Oh I'm sorry for that Ben, I am embarrassed to have to admit from a previous post I mentioned the possibility I have mild dislexia, the truthfull shame is it is true, as you can imagine it is a heavy cross to bear in the presence of such admiring people.

Well, under the current publishing-deal it would have to be Ubisoft who deals with the international customers. Call me a cynic but I actually prefer 1C's not-really-perfect english to Ubisoft's slick and polished but essentially meaningless PR platitudes.

Sounds enormously frustrating, being so close but yet having the product so visually buggy. Another week won't kill us, and thanks for filling us in on what the issues are. Bad news is much better than no news. I had a go on CloD yesterday, first time in a long time, and I'd forgotten how immersive the game is, how beautifully rendered the cockpits are, and how friggin' annoying the stutters are. With a slicker graphics engine (and the rest) the game's going to be simply superb.

Gotta love everyone patience. But it wont be a week , two weeks or a month. It'll be a few months away going by the sound of it before the patch will be out - most likely followed very quickly by the expansion.

Yeh I agree this is more realistic and the advantage of posting the truth of the matter to users. We can set realistic expectations and give it more time than a it should be here next week type of judgement.
