In 3 days

In three days it will have been 2 months since the last hint of the patch in the announcements forum (second installment post is dated 4/30). So...do you folks think we'll get a patch or an apology?

apology

Can anyone say "EP2"?

I feel much the same WB, and have since the whole military patch thing started. While it's well known that big sweeping changes take lots of time, I felt that the goal of little patches of stuff have been...pretty short on stuff, and didn't contain enough shiny toys to make waiting for the big stuff bearable.

Sorry, could not resist.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there, does it make a sound?

Ofcourse.

I think we'll get both.

I also think that Istvan leaked too much info about the patch way too early and got people's hopes up way too soon. It just takes a long time to code changes as sweeping as this, and though several elements were done as behind the sceenes baby steps and some visible baby steps (like building damge/scanning/repairing, radar rewrite, Mil mission interface) I think most of it has to come in 1 big patch since so many aspects are so interdependent.

Ist and TPs are working hard to get this done. Barring (new) earth-shattering problems, it should not be too long -- but we are still testing, breaking, fixing, improving, testing, breaking . . . .

Trust me, Ist is not sitting around eating bon bons. As you know from his posts, this next patch introduces some very big, fundamental changes.

Hopefully I've been circumspect enough and not broken any rules.

How come I never get any bon bons.

Grim, should you update the post title each day?

That's the thing, when those 2 announcements came right after each other 2 months ago, it seemed to me that the patch was almost here.

As an aside, it might be a shaky thing legally, but wouldn't it be interesting if someone's AA name and password happened to work if they used them trying to log into Jumpgate

Nah Jump, the original is dated :P

And I'm sure when the post was made, the feeling was that a patch was do-able in 3-4 weeks. Then reality hits. The scope of this patch is pretty big.
