<< < (14/18) > >>

Aricvomit:
jeeze louise, look heres the breakdown. they wont be updating till all the 3d graphics they want done are done. they dont want to put out an incomplete update and listen to people complain till they can finish. its obvious to me that once the 3d graphics are all done and uploaded should you expect an update, if you really want to know how close they are look at the 3d development tracker and if thats still not good enough than contribute to and get it done quicker.

manero:
It was many times said that 3d development progress has nothing to do with incoming wipe.

Aricvomit:
maybe not wipe but definently update. they can wipe and not update, but what would be the point of that. its a fact that the devs have never announced when or what they are doing, they prefer to keep everyone in the dark as much as possible, do you think they would actually tell you if it did?? come on get real, they enjoy the game of cat and mouse.

Luther Blissett:
As far as I'm aware, the 3D stuff has nothing to do with any impending wipe or update or anything. Wipes and updates are done by the 2238 devs, the 3D stuff is currently being done by the forum community. I'd imagine there'll be several "game content" updates and probably a wipe or two before the 3D stuff is usable. Once the 3D stuff is nearing "game ready", then there'll probably be a connection between 3D stuff and updates, but as far as the next few updates are concerned, you may as well ignore the 3D stuff entirely.

The 3D stuff is fairly "transparent" with development. Other than some planning by PM, nearly everything is posted publicly on the 3D Development board. It will have little effect on gameplay, so there's little to discuss beyond "It looks good" or "it doesn't look good enough" or "try doing it this way". Most people agree, and most people are aiming for the same end result.

In contrast, for changes in the actual game (i.e. updates / wipes), every possible subject has a 10-page long suggestion or discussion or argument thread already. Changing a couple of numbers has a massive effect on balance and there are many different groups of people with opposing views on what would make the game better. Larger changes such as an overhaul of crafting or stealing etc probably need hours and hours of planning, writing and testing. Given that as things are, there's already hundreds of suggestion / discussion threads on every possible subject, I think it's understandable that they're not posting an update on every line of code that is written.

Happened to me as well. It was back in July the 3rd...think US date notation:)

Anyway, there is stuff that's done, there is stuff that's prepared but needs few things to be connected, there is stuff we'd like to introduce to make you happy, but may take even more time so even we have not yet decided what will make into the next update, and what not.

And there is that damned lack of time... (remember most of us have fulltime jobs, some of us have kids).
