where are the devs?

[Axe99]

Aye, also keep in mind that these things take time - you've gotta code it, test it, find bugs (there are _always_ bugs), fix them, test it, find bugs, fix them, run it past Sony and MS QA, then release it. Sony and MS can take a couple of weeks in and of themselves. I'd much rather they took a little while and got it right, rather rushed it and made a mistake.

And if you play another game while you're waiting, is that a huge issue? I've stopped playing MP BoP for the moment (I'm in Aus, there's virtually no-one on in my timezone, and I'm tired of 1v1s which you have to wait 5-10 mins for), but I'll jump back on and try it once the patch comes out. I'm working through the single-missions on Sim and Realistic (realistic for some of the ground-attack - anyone who's finished that first Stalingrad mission in the evening on sim has my utmost admiration for their flying and spotting skills!), there's _plenty_ of gameplay there (and replayability too - the channel dogfight is epic ).

Id rather wait for them to get as much stuff included in the update as possible. Rushing things is probably why we are here in the first place so just be patient and let them do their thing.

I must lose 1/3 to 2/3's of my shoot downs to 'crashes', I've learnt to live with it while muttering 'wait till the update comes' every time a plane I've shot up badly rolls into a terminal dive and just 'crashes' .

I only found out a while ago that MS charges devs for patches. They probably say they need it for certification and bandwidth fees. They do allow the dev's first patch/update as a free one. So we do want them adding as much as possible to this patch because it may be our only one if MS want money for any future updates.

anton REALLY needs to adress the community on what stage the patch is in , because i would rather them submit whatever they have now just to get the point thing fixed then have to wait for shit like ps3 joystick support

I posted a simular topic on the dev forum: http://forum.yuplay.com/index.php?showtopic=55

plz read 2nd post in the topic, posted by 'InfiniteStates'
He has a very good point there.

But like I said there, it would be nice to know what is going to be in the first title update. there a only a few items mentioned in the 'title update' topic, but the devs have said 'fixed that' to 10 other items.

Are these also going to be in the first title update? or will it come in later ones

[Raw Kryptonite]

I could swear Anton mentioned something a while back about how the title update or whatever first patch/dlc is handled free by MS, but after that they have to pay and go through testing. Something like that. That's why they should wait and get all the bugs listed that they can and try to knock them out at once. After that it becomes a money issue.
Pretty sure he mentioned that somewhere around here a few months ago.


...or I could have dreamed it all.

You don't even know if it's being delayed because of the ps3 stick support.

thats not the point , the fact is nothing is more important than fixing the crash bug , its between whats keeping this game alive and it dying out 2 weeks from release
