Update?

[AdamB]

it doesnt bother me on if its a patch or not, i would just like to be kept up to date with the news about how the beta test is going and how long we can expect before next patch

Any ETA is useless, as people will either not read or fail to understand what the E stands for...

And heaven help a dev that doesn't meet the ETA, as seen here not just once.

yeh i know the feeling being a dev myself (small AAA fps shooter Name: Classified)

but if you compensate for delays of about 5days people wont get frustrated when you either utilize and extra few days rather than not giving an ETA at all. I always found people much prefer content coming out before an ETA than poor content coming out in a very small timeframe like a week. Hint Hint Maddox games

Hehe. ETA-padding is something I know very well from my line of work. Having to implement new systems is fun, especially when everyone's screaming for an ETA. Usually put in at least 5 days more than I need, and then people are all happyhappyjoy about things being ready sooner

We know it takes 2 weeks, thus ETA should be not less than 5 weeks more (not 5 days)
