The Crystal Ball 2

Pehaps this will explain why no Friday update.

Seems we have errors on both sides.

Whiners driving the devs crazy . . . . . . . and the dev spoksperson not providing the information that the consumer is asking for.

It is nice to know what is happening regarding the next series . . . . . but the priority of concentration right now is for some information on the status of the patch. Not all the details, not necessarily when, but just how the progress is going.

We have a very good community base that is very interested in how work is progressing. Regrettably, not everyone is skilled in communications.

S!

But, considering negative mood of users, we can stop to publish information updates on Fridays for a while.

Wow.

That is incredibly condescending.

Well, if that's true, then some of us can just stop supporting their product Don't they realize the door swings both ways, and as mentioned earlier, no one "needs" their product, however, I dare say they do like their paychecks. Seriously, if you wanted to restore some confidence in the BOM add on and have people really excited about it, you would THINK you would release a patch that would solve graphical and other issues. This would SURELY induce more people to trust the BOM and buy it, I would, however, I won't buy it until and WHEN I know that the graphic problems, dust/clouds/particle effects are fixed, the CTD is fixed, etc. I could go on, but it seems what's the point.

Did you miss the part where the patch isn't finished yet, or do you believe they are withholding the patch just to piss everyone off.

The patch isn't finished yet, really? We'll, I'll be. No, I didn't miss that, however I did catch where 5 months ago its release was in the "final stages". We will probably hear the same thing in November 2012 by the look of things. I read somewhere this game has been in development for 5 or more years, and the graphics engine is almost finished?

god damn epilepsy filter.. hehee remember when they took out the prop animations and then it was stated that the animations would never be back because they forgot to backup the main files or something? Then it came back anyway... This place is like a circus.. nice and yellow and everything

Took the words right out of my mouth, and I'll tell you what, reading that little tidbit really left a sour taste. Don't expect my preorder or purchase until you straighten up the state of the game, period. Negative mood? This game has been out if not a year, well approaching a year. Most games I've played have had their issues worked out well before a year. I starting to think they don't know how to fix it, or don't have the ability to do so. Pure speculation, but this kind of attitude does nothing to build confidence in the product, and has created the "negative mood".

Apparently we are supposed to be thankful for their shoddy programming and even worse customer support.

3. Performance. We are in final stages of testing a thorough overhaul of the game’s graphic engine. It won’t look any different but it will be much more streamlined. It’s too early to say what the FPS increase will be in the final version, but it shouldn’t be less than 50%.


Supposedly in Final testing stage 5 months ago and still no patch LOL.

Still waiting.

The "go do something else while waiting for the game to be fixed" routine is worn out.

I am a bit late in joining in on Cliffs of Dover, i had put off purchasing the game due to early reports I had read on the forums, finally decided to go ahead and purchase it as it sounds like it has improved, and reading about the aforementioned graphic engine update to make it even better. While I have just installed the sim and yet to have run it, if the above statement is true - that the gain should not be less than 50%. well that would certainly be incredible to say the least. Maybe I should wait on actually clicking the "play" button until the patch is out!
Hope we all see it soon.
