Mabye for beta testers. As far as I'm concerned, DE has abandoned us. _________________ "I reject your reality, and substitute my own!" - Adam Savage (MythBusters)

If the beta testers have patches, then they'll eventually make their way to you. DE doesn't want to release patches that could potentially break the game for half their players, so they have to test them out before releasing them. You can't expect them to just make whatever changes they do public before making sure nothing goes wrong first.
I don't know how much we're allowed to say, but we can say that Rob has been working on the game a lot lately.
This is also the wrong forum for this topic. |

What ever happened to "optional" patches.
Furthermore... how about a list of proposed changes or something? I mean COME ON ITS BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE DEVS HAVE EVEN STICKIED A POST.
UNLESS YOU AREI N THE GODDAMNED BETA YOU DONT EVEN HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE IF ANYTHING IS EVEN HAPPENING.
THE RETAIL SERVERS ARE GONE. THERE IS NONE.
DE HAS LEFT ITS FAN BASE IN A COMPLETE VOID.
WHY DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THE SOURCE OF THIS FRUSTRATION.

Wow.
Endy's right for once.
It seems to be a once-a-month occurence...
But he is right, I'll say that. Dead-on. _________________ Sidious/Soidanae

DE have only got a small team, they cant work on the game, work on the editor tools, work on the sequels, work on advertising, work on buisness matters AND keep the message board up to date all the time, i know what u mean tho they could be a little more incontact with the public. Easiest way to do so would be simply make one of the beta testers a spokesman. *shrug* _________________ Favourite Pilot: Reece

MADia, the Echelon team, managed to do all that with an even smaller team, plus twice as fast, AND while working on a brand new game. It did take them a while to translate Echelon: Wind Warriors into english, but that has to do with their history with Bethesda that ripped them off bigtime. Too bad the russian developers dont have the money to support a lot of servers, but the mod tools are excellent, and were very well documented, without the help of any fans.
I'm in Beta for their new game. Didnt get my testing CD yet, but it looks supreme. _________________

Endy shut it
At least DE isnt like most developers who never talk to their fans at all
Just take my word for it, Rob is working very, very hard on the game, if you would rather he take time out of that to post here so the patches are delayed longer then..... |

I agree with Mordax, I simply think one of the close to the team people, aka a beta tester should be given freedom to talk to us about ETA's etc. _________________ Favourite Pilot: Reece
