What do you expect to be in the next patch?

I expect an inordinate amount of thinly veiled comments that their vocal issue/bug/oversite/gut feeling/favorite sombrero wasn't included and demand immediate attention.

heehee I expect that at least 3 people will NOT get the hint, and will bLast their "expected" out of the next patch also.

I just hope its not one of mine they complain about.

I expect the next patch to provide holographic projections from the monitor for battles between nations and independents. The holographics images should provide a range of at least 640 colors. A blood and gore disable/enable option also available for the battles.

Finally... this may have to wait for the next patch... but when winning the game the player actually acquires all powers of a god as listed in the manual.

I'm sure there will be other features added too... but this is what I expect.

Well Gandalf is surely pointing his fingers at non native english speakers, like me ^^

In fact I missed the meaning of what Zen told.

For the non-English speaking, I'll try to clarify.

What happens when any game releases a patch? Not everything is the way everyone wants, no matter how much work or effort or balance is taken into consideration. So in effect there will always be someone who is not satisfied. And those who are not satisfied take the most opportune time to express that unsatisfaction (usually 2-72 Hours after the patch) to have anywhere from a snide remark to a full fledged diatribe about how they were either ignored, the developers don't know the game, didn't have time, etc.

This is true of all games, so it will inevitably happen again and again. Though to be fair I also expect some amount of praise and thanks given to IW for whatever issue/aspect/favorite sombrero they felt was addressed in some way and agree with it in some fashion.

I want Dom9 to be out by the time I enter the old folks home. And I expect the old folks home to have direct neural interface. And I expect wait out my waning years playing god.

Next patch ? It will be terrible! I still have had not enough time to play and understand the game like it is now ... next patch ? New things to learn ... new balance ... aaargghhh!!!

Half of the suggestions/problems that rise up in that forum are far away from me ... I got the game in decembre and still there are many races and themes I never played ... soem I never met in battle! ...

So the only things I'll really expect in the next patch is some improvement in the modding part to help expert players create great new mods and maps.

It will be great also a (stupid things, not time to waste developer time) name list options ... just the opportunity to have a file (ctis.nm) with a name list from which the computer select the names of leaders for that nation ...

good lucj and good play to all
