Sternjaegar you're trollolo version was superb,I'm still laughing now:lol::lol::lol:........who cares about COD when you have this entertaiment.

Agreed! That was excellent!:grin:

Yeah - hilarious! :grin:

But who is that guy?

Today
 

We will have any info-update today friday? B6? any news?
Please restart the comunication with the community. A lot of people here are waiting "some" to calm down the anxiety.

Thanks.

They didn't stop, there was nothing to show.

I didn't really listen to all of that did i? :grin::confused:

So i hope there will be something to show today:-P:-P

i got a feeling we get a betapatch today :)

Who cares anymore? - Either way this place goes 'round in circles. :)

i got a feeling we get a betapatch today

I don't think because if it the developers were close to release an update we would have more "stuff" in the past weeks.

Pleas delete this thread....

They still have more talent than most of the performers who receive Grammy Awards.


There's an old Steve Martin routine. He's an accomplished banjo player and he used to play one during his comedy act in the 1970s. He'd start strumming and the audience would listen with rapt attention - playing something like Foggy Mountain Breakdown or some such fare. After a few stanzas he'd comment that "the banjo is a happy instrument," still plucking away. "It's hard to be depressed." Plink plink. Then he'd go into this melencholic largo vocal, while still playing the banjo.

"Oh, death and grief and sorrow and murder." Then gave a wicked smile.

The irony and why everyone laughed is that, even though the words were 'depressing,' the accompaniment of the banjo made the song sound light and fun.



SOoooooooooooooooooooo while we may not have news of the patch, while we may not have heard what we wanted in the updates. We still had banjo music.

What's it mean to us? Make the best out of a bad situation. In some way I think he believed (and I've felt this since July when Luthier posted this) that cushioning bad news with a banjo made the news a little less hard to take. I'm quite sure I'm reading too much into it, but the feeling hit me hard when I read that update and it immediately reminded me of that old joke. I never thought of the update with banjo music as mocking the fan base.

I wonder if Luthier is a Steve Martin fan?

hammer ur F5 key the next hours and u will get ur answer :-P:-P:-P:grin::grin:

just sit back and wait, still 7 or 8 hour leftover, until the office is closing, if they have normal worktime ;) (if im correct with moskow timezone)

Man, Thats one porked clip and it hurts me eyes

Some light music perhaps while waiting? :D

~S~

You need to be careful with that. Heard overpressing the F5 key might cause blindness. Not that I ever used the F5 key.

ever try the f5 key with an occasional f7 in between.....wonderful!!!!!!!

OK Everyone...When do you think we'll see the next patch???
 

I really liked Luthier's update :):) so I'm not trying to start a war. But, I think it's 60 days away. Not complaining, just a gut feel. What do you guys think?

Since any opinion posted in this thread guessin the release date will be worth roughly its weight in used toilet paper, I don't imagine it has much of a chance to prosper into something overwhelming productive....


...but I'm going to guess 28 days from now anyway.

If we are allowed to speculate on these boards anymore, I'd say somewhere in the 1-3 months range. This is a totally uneducated guess with no facts to back it up whatsoever so no need to start any arguments *squinty look at the usual suspects*.:cool:

P.S We should have a "guess the patch release date" competition. Want to join? Chip in the equivalence of 1€! :D

I say 17. Its my lucky number :D

Next week.

(but I've thought that for the last 2 months...:confused:)

Well.. if I had to guess.. my guess would be witin 12 to 24 hours of Luither and team agreeing that the patch is done.

Two weeks! Be sure.

When it's done :rolleyes:

Sometime between now and the end of time. but definitely not before. (or after)

Tomorrow, as tomorrow never comes, or

Sometime between now and never

21 Dec 2012 :rolleyes::rolleyes:

S!

Oldest release date in gaming history: 2 weeks :)

Kristorf is just miserable because he lives in Milton Keynes.

Sometime in April.

April 6th

When do I think we'll see it?

Heh, simple. When 1C feels that it's done. Not before.

And until that time, I'll be in my room with a bucket of patience.

3 months +

Best answer so far ;)

Exactly. Early February was my first prediction so I have stopped trying to guess.

BETA patch, sometime in April.
Complete final patch, May-July 2012. ;)

I am not even going to guess because there are no prizes. However, if I had to guess then I would say 4-5 weeks given luithers post today about the other minor niggles.

April 1st anyone ? ;)

As the word "soon" the past 6 months has changed it's definition in Webster dictionary; from "without undue time lapse" to "when hell freezes over"... I would guess a beta patch that will adress the major graphical hickups will be released within 6 months... on the 24th of September at the latest, hopefully also adressing the launcher bug... if not it's still useless to me.

Sorry but it's hard to be more optimistic considering the time scale so far... a scenario that even luthier seems to think is somewhat embarrassing.

Coming soon as in 'so is christmas'.....

so disappointed that the first reply wasn't "two weeks"

One day. When the time is right. :-P

two weeks

oh memories

in April

It's already out, but they accidentally released it in a parallel timeline. The only way to get it is to travel back in time to 1955 and step on this one particular butterfly, then wait around for 57 years.

in two weeks (real)

Being a developer myself I have been in their situation too many times... The code works 99% but some bug that is extremely annoying is just impossible to squash. Actually, most of the time finalizing complex code you are hunting that ONE thing that just doesn't work for some mysterious reason... It's the last 20% of a project that takes 80% of the time... Then you find some vaguely documented property of some obscure object that has changed in some framework update that you set to "false" after reading some confused thread on the net - and suddenly everything just works... Or you realize that you have to change a large chunk of code to make it work.

So - between two days and two months is my educated guess ;)

As long as they keep up the communication with posts like the one Ilya posted here yesterday, I have no problem that we don't get it. They sure know as much as us that getting a decent patch out on the market would give them a lot of breathing space that they badly need after this last year of immense pressure...

Working with customers is difficult, but working without is impossible ... as a client of mine told me once ...

Waiting the next patch
 

... a little more relaxed :grin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOndy...ature=youtu.be

Will be a beta patch?
 

..or we should expect a final patch when ready?

no asking to who you know, because he don't like be mentioned here... but if "he" can answer, that's good

Going by the lack of activity here , I would say no beta patch any time soon.

Well, not even a manual or readme has been released so don't expect anything tomorrow. It will be here when it's here, and no sooner. :rolleyes:

What the hell does it mean what you just wrote?

Neither of these things were released before the last beta patches were they? If its a beta, it could come out at any time, as Luthier said.

we really dont know

He who must not be blamed will come like a thief in the night and the night will not fall before tracers and ReVi are working. But be sure it will be a beta patch and not the final one. Best Allons!

IBCB - In before the crystal ball...

Neither we or MG knows when, and I guess they want it out of the door nore than us ;)

/mazex

can't point you the post, it's not here anymore, but who have read it know what i'm talking about... I've already been banned for insults.. (really? I didn't see any insult in my posts)...

How about an alpha patch?
 

Well, everyone is climbing the walls here so how about an alpha patch?

Write in bold letters on the splash screen and in the readme that feature x, y and z doesn't work and the ones accepting that can use it at their own risk?

This way other bugs can be found meanwhile the devs focus on the decals?

/mazex

I would like it.... great idea...

if there's not tracers that'd be a bad idea

Not gonna happen, i believe, considering the behavior of some in these forums when a beta comes out. Some seem to have a major problem understanding the concept of alpha and beta :)
Personally, i love testing alpha's and beta's since it gives us players an opportunity to give feedback on different systems and we can have an affect on the final outcome of the product.
But it only works when the feedback is in a constructive manor.

For many users that's true, but I think that many like me can accept trying it even without sights, tracers or decals... As it is today I haven't even started CloD more than once or twice this year...

/mazex

I FULLY agree with you.

Alfa patch now!!!

and let the people decide if they install it or wait for the beta.

Exactly so why do people continue to pester them and create pointless threads for they know what replies they will get. Common sense is lacking...

I'm not pesting anybody, it's a simple question if you can read it: "will be a beta before the release?" I haven't asked a release date.... ok?

Steam will auto update for you so don't worry.

Alpha Beta Charlie Delta bugs will be found regardless. Sit back and relax. Have a soda. Steam will auto update for you.

you answer only to increment your posts or you really think what you say?

With all due respect but.. are you missing a chromosome or something? why do you post such crap after all the other dumb question we had to go through the last weeks. i know one thing for sure you lack something..

Seems to be his mantra..... ;)

Let's see here...hmmm...what have the devs/B6 said for ages now...hmmm...there will be a beta patch released first, this patch will be released when it's ready for release, it might be released any day, it might be on a tuesday it might be on a thursday, heck! it might even be on a friday.

This is all anyone need to know, nej! should know by now!

we are waiting.....an alpha patch...a beta patch...
and the release patch will be on air in 2014......:grin:
we have to accept that the title is dead...and the devs cannot fix the sim!!thats the truth
see the rise of flight...see the war thunder!!

the devs are heroic...they try to save a dead man at the hospital

so... I need to be attached only because i made a simple question.... great...

@addman, I was just wondering if, after the recent situation, the things changed and we will only have a final patch when ready.. if BlackSix or a dev is so kind to answer...

LOL, almost spilled my coffee out :D

Oh yeah... totally dead.... totally....

I suspect CloD will be the resounding failure its predecessor was! I mean... who still plays that junk?

(I know they say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but, sometimes, it is the only response possible.) :D

what do you lack? respect maybe?

well, another topic turned into trash... great job....

Oh ffs...each end of the week the same boring threads, again and again.
Imagine you would get an alpha patch now and today,with all bugs in it and no testing.
More than the half of ya would start moning "...waiting for 6 months and again more bugs than before etc pp."
I dont want a plane without revi for instance, what you can read by last weeks post of "la cheffe de cousine"

But listen...the neece of my parents neighbours daughter, met yesterday someone who was in Moscow at a far relative who had a quick talk to the grannie of ones sister who is working in the studios, that are neighbour to MG, guess what he told him?
Suprise .... it will be released ,when it is done!

I was so shocked when i heard that , I tell ya....:rolleyes:

I know what you meant and if something changes the devs will tell us. Maybe we will have some info about it tomorrow. Maybe it's better if you wait with these questions after the Friday update, if we even get one.

You know this question will not be answered by an representatives or developers, so why do you think that any of us can answer it? It's absurd and plain ignorant.
If Blacksix or anyone had anything to report regarding a beta patch, or complete patch or release date or maybe even a readme - do you not think they would have done so? Or do they require permission and a reminder from the customers every single week? :rolleyes:

I may aswell go and ask if we can expect Battle of Moscow as a completed title or a beta...

Looks like i have to post once again the announcement , that we got spring sun, sunshine, horny chicken in short skirts and bikinis, open beergarden ..... and you wait in ya dark cold room for a patch of game ????

Above said, is for non-british only, as their sensitv and red shiny skin, get burned to fast in the sun.
They re excused - remaing bunch -> enjoy life!

can you explain me where i have asked all the things you are pointing and why you say that this question cannot be answered?

You are talking such rubbish. You really haven't got a clue, so don't try and speculate to cause another flame war.

The question cannot be answered by any member here; because we do not know the answer!
And the question will not be answered by the developers! - Otherwise, why are we still asking?

It's ok... us Brits can enjoy these things too.... that's why I own binoculars! :D (Not creepy at all.... oh no... not creepy at all) :D

nah... sarcasm is the last bastion of the cynic





Have patience young albx... the answer will come when it is ready

wrong... only a few, very few are climbing the walls and it is making it painfull for everybody else.

solution is very easy, just don´t read them

one can either post and prove to be a bit dense,

or one can refrain from posting and stay in the shadow of doubt.

Just a general observation, not pointed at anyone!!!

Works also in conversations.

Wow! You should really take that advice.

Yeah ive felt (whom ever) posted somethings that really grate aswell in the past.I am un-educated,hard working x infantryman but i know whats right and wrong.Just no need to be so,oh never mind i cant say what i want to without swearing.

Cheese

Anyone pointing a finger to someone should realize that there are three fingers pointing back! :D :D :D

lol good one

Currently i'm downloading my World of warplanes Beta access. It'll be a fun weekend .

I have taken a course in "fanboi" speak, so allow me to translate.


"one can either post and prove to be a bit dense"

Translation: If you have any negative criticism even if it's posted in a non-threatening manner, you will be subjected to an onslaught of attacks on your intelligence because your hurting future sales of this game that isn't functioning properly.

"one can refrain from posting and stay in the shadow of doubt"

Translation: If you feel that you got ripped off for spending $50 on software that isn't usable for a year or two, then you lack the foresight to see how awesome this is going to be in 5 years. You should not complain and sit in silence, because your hurting future sales of this game that isn't functioning properly.

"Just a general observation, not pointed at anyone"

Translation: This is pointed at anyone that is not in my "fanboi" club, and has pointed out the fact the release was garbage and was a cash grab because they needed the money.

Hope that clears things up! :)

Thank you Force10,

I really appreciate that you made my point. :D :D :D

Btw, as you obviously don't know the meaning of the word "fanboy" (not fanboi), I'd refrain from using it in your place.

Let me help you out robtek.

1. fanboi
Someone who is hopelessly devoted to something and will like anything associated with their particular thing.

2. fanboi
Geek Term related to forum users who think a product/company/person can do no wrong.

"fanbois will not stop annoying other people until everyone they know is converted to their way of thinking."


Please refer to point number 1 of your post I quoted so you can avoid future embarrassment.

Force1o,

before you put your foot further in your mouth and prove my post #391 correct let me correct your misconception of the definition of a "fanboy".

A "fanboy" is a person who is not only devoted to something, but also can't find anything wrong with it.

This is where your misconception lays, as such a person still hasn't posted here, afaik.

I still have to read a post where the faults of CoD are denied, afaik there are none.

If you can't accept this, any communication with you is relly senseless and i'll refrain from continuing it.

Cheerio
