News on the next patch:

Good news indeed. I am happy to know that the Devs are making the world feel more... alive. I hope that this project could rival the Distant Worlds series (a 2d, pausable, real-time, 4X strategy game) in making the Starbound Universe feel lively.

P.S. As I've noticed, The Observer's the name of the OP. Makes me think of newspapers of the broadsheet kind. The Starbound Observer seems to have a nice ring to it.

 

Going by the AMA I would say there won't be. The general attitude I saw in the AMA answers was (AND THIS IS NOT A DIRECT QUOTE, JUST A SUMMARY) "rather than trying to make more realistic, educated guesses, we just aren't going to tell you guys when to expect things at all." Truthfully, it's probably for the best that way.

 

Do you have to specify the part of a quote that you edited if the quote itself was a quote that wasn't actually a quote to begin with? What about quoting an imaginary quote passed off as truthiness?

 

So is CF not releasing a valentines day update on said day? I know they have a lot to handle but you would think a holiday update would be on or before the holiday it is supposed to be for.

 

As far as new pets, I kinda hope they add those fish as catachables so you can act like you're using magikarp in battle.

 

Sure would of been nice to read this on the official site.

 

When it's released, you will.

 

One can hope they will archive the notes on the site on release I guess. Seems more likely than getting actual information on the site when its posted.

 

SPLASH

When they do eventually get around to the last world wipe , I hope they will let us know ahead of time for that! My giant green house I built...I would hate to lose all of that food!

 

you must be new. "space hobo" - yep.

they typically dont post the notes to the mainpage for another 2-3 days beyond the patch being released.

 

You know what isn't truthful? Quoting things from developers that they never said.

I hope we will hear something from the developers soon, but everyone needs to calm the rhetoric as it is NOT helpful.

 

Valentine's items are going to seem pretty silly when the patch comes out, now that the holiday's passed. I'd rather they not even include them.

Of course, even if the patch had released before Valentine's day I'd rather they not have included them, because screw that holiday.

 

Tbh I don't see why you'd add holiday themed stuff that's going to look WAY out of place with the rest of the game the rest of the year. And maybe like the xmas stuff its going to be disabled after the holiday.

Holiday stuff (unless its big events) seems like something best left to mods. Unless its something simple like growing flowers that look in place any time of the year.

 

time to make guides ???

they could make extra page outside of forum for guides

 

I'm personally excited for the new death animations But I also can't wait until we can tame dogs, I hope when Fossils are released I can get my pet Liopleurodon

Also, new items sounds exciting, maybe some USCM armor/weaponry, such as the Power Armor

 

Wondering if its possible to get wall penetrating projectiles into the game, would like to have a gaussrifle/railgun penetrating metal walls ^^

 

Hey guys! Be sure to stay on topic. Thanks!

 

You know what isn't helpful? Deliberately ignoring what I said. I pretty plainly said "the general attitude I saw." And then I used quotation marks to frame that attitude. I did not attribute those exact words to the developers. If you wanna tell me to stay on topic, feel free, but don't badger me for something I didn't do. They DID say, several times, they were not giving dates any more because it's bit them in the ass. They also didn't say anything to suggest they had any idea why it's bitten them in the ass, ie., they've never once met a single ETA other than "beta by the end of 2013!"

Not trying to be confrontational but I mean, come on. It was pretty clear I wasn't trying to directly quote exactly what the devs said.

 

That isn't what quotes are used for. I'm not trying to be confrontational either, but if you use quotes there will be some people that attribute what you said to the devs. And even still, what you said is an incredibly negative version of what was said in the Q&A, so framing it as a summary of what was said is, frankly, not helpful. This discussion is over publicly, if you want to continue talking how the post is framed please send me a private message.
