About Patch or Version 2.0

Fabfire · #1 September 23rd, 2005, 11:26 PM

Richard,

Thank you so much for your kind attention. It is most appreciated.

I can only speak for myself, but I think the problem is not how much I'll have to wait - I have no problem with that - but that we have been kept in the dark, and then been labaled guilty of not knowing what is going on...

A kind, calm, and educated answer like yours is all that we, as customers, want to hear.

Again, thank you so much.

Going to a trip this morning, off until sunday evening... Atleast I'd have a motivation to get home earlier;o)

And if the patch won't still be published by that time... So what? Programming is a black magic to me, so I leave it up to professionals

Not to distract anything from the notice Richard gave, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't speak on my behalf. This customer is one who doesn't demand answers but is perfectly happy to wait it out and who can accept that the staff has better things to do (like fixing the bugs and getting on with RL) than babysitting anxious users minute to minute.

And to set one thing straigth, you were NOT misinformed. It was clearly stated that the patch would come out before the end of the week. Before the end of that week the bug was found, a message concerning it posted and the subsequent delay of release (as further testing is needed) announced.
Your mistake was not because of misinformation but because of misjudgement.

Come on guys, we wait a week more then we play like hell with WinSPMBT 2.0.

I am sure that:
1. Don and Andy and the Schrapnel staff do their best to please us - their customers.
2. I am sure those that stated their opinion more harshly then usual were just to eager to get the long-waited patch.

Let us not leave from here with a bad feeling. If Schrapnel inteds to keep on supporting WinSPMBT (with new patches etc) we need to build up a strong community with a lot of players , scenario designers, tournament organizers, etc, while Don and Andy do some more improvements to the software. (I have some suggestions

) We are one team.

Artur.

Artur is right. There is no point in keeping this going on anymore.

IN THE MEANTIME! Instead of waiting, I am playing. I was playing it before the first patch and I'm playing and designing in it now.

And if another patch never comes out I'll still be playing it and designing scenarios for it.

I really am looking forward to the section that assures me that AI units will observe the reaction turns and waypoints. I still have AI units that just won't do that in this version, even when following "protocol" for making it happen. This little bit of control of the AI is VERY helpful in designing scenarios.

Right on the point.

I am very glad to The Camo Workshop for the upcoming patch, but i am even more glad to them for allowing me to play WinSP:MBT .
