    Hope the patch comes very soonish (as in between now and 1 hour), so I can play this game after a long day of studying. Else I have to play bf4..

    Some of you should just try seeing it from their perspective! In the office late into the night last night, in the office today on a Saturday, working working working to fix this patch so they can give it to us, and on the forums it's all "these effing devs, they dont' give a shyt about us!" blah blah blah "they are so lazy" blah blah blah! I am absolutely certain there are a number of other things they would rather be doing right now on a Saturday, and I half feel like maybe they should go do those things and you all can just wait for them to go back to the office on Monday. Their job is so effing thankless.

    Quick question: What does it matter if the devs have "no credibility." Does this mean you don't listen to what they say? Does this mean that they give less-optimistic estimates, or that they find fewer bugs and crashes in each patch?

    I don't think it matters, whether or not we believe their ETAs. Yes, inaccurate estimates cause a lot of inconvenience, but at this point, no one should be expecting their estimates to be fully accurate. If they say "Monday or so" then it means "Okay, probably sometime this week, cool." It doesn't mean "I'm going to take Monday off of work, so that I can play the game!"

    As far as what we bought, I think we bought early access to a game that is in development. OR, we invested in a dev team, with the understanding that they will develop a game. I don't believe we bought a game, because there is no game yet.

    I see it from their perspective. I work in the legal industry where everything has to be done by extremely tight deadlines because if it isn't, a lot of money could be lost or a case could be lost. As a result I never give an ETA if I can't keep to it and any ETA I do give is always an over-estimate, that way when I get it done early or on time I have given myself enough time to get it done. I understand things happen but they should be given themselves time to allow for things happening.

    What point are you trying to make then?

    But there is a game. Incomplete as it maybe, it's still a game in beta. People aren't asking for a game, people just want more info.

    It still works, even without the next patch. It just doesn't have all the cool new shit in it. I'll still play it between now and the patch release.

    this is missing a huge point of the totall wipe we are facing. see my last post for what I believe to be a summary of how people feel in this case. It isnt about the new content which makes this a very diff patch.

    Ill quote my last post below

    I was replying to a different post, one from someone who said he couldn't play it unless he got the patch within an hour.

    Yes, Kozar, but you have a MUCH better attitude about it! We all want the patch and are anxiously awaiting the patch, but the people who are so full of rage against the devs is what is ticking me off! Bartwe was still working at his desk last night when I got off mumble to eat dinner at 7 or 8 something here in America, and it's like 5 hours later there. That is more commitment than most people give to their jobs. That's all I'm saying.

    You're right. They should release the patch no matter what right now. So we are all happy for the short period of time between starting the game and see it crashing.

    Dude you bought an unfinished game, what do you expect? you can even be glad to have this possibility. And if you don't like this you should not ahve bought the game before realse. It is so weired what people "demand" and all in these days. patience is a birtue, and this is a game, I doubt you need it to breathe or feed your family. And it hardly will be the "only thing" in your life. And if so, you may check your life again and alter something.

    I dont see your Problem, you got warned that this is early Beta if you cannot stand wipes don“t play. If you cannot stand Bug DONT PLAY. If you cannot stand waiting DONT PLAY.

    If you buy a game in early Beta accept it or punch yourself in the face.
