Tiy: Patch is done BUT needs internal testing.

looks like it'll be 3-4 days away now.

 

You know it gunna sit relax and not do anything except drool for this patch so i can finally play

 

I'm getting pizza so I can droll and eat something delicious.

 

i have been reduced to this

 

I have 4.5 Trillion cookies per second

 

holy shit I forgot about cookie clicker

 

I think we should stop bothering about worrying when the wipe's gonna happen, get back to playing the game until the wipe happens. Else this is gonna be like having 3 kids in the back of ur car going "are we there yet ?" every minute.

 

A lot of people don't want to play until after the patch/wipe. I think that's why there's so much anticipation around this patch... people want to get back in the game but they are waiting for a clean start.

 

Are we there yet?

 

They haven't implemented the use of the beta tab, but Bartwe says they plan to.

 

Deleted post that Jbeetle quoted as it would probably have just started a flame.

 

Reading through this thread I think a lot of people are already asking "are we there yet?" Which is not surprising. I'm chomping at the bit too but trying to be patient as well.

To everyone who keeps saying "let the (beta) testers test", other people have made really valid arguments why internal testing is still a good thing. If there are known bugs, it's better that they just fix them before releasing. Why release the patch if there are bugs they know about just to have the beta testers come back and tell them stuff they already know? That doesn't make sense and seems counter-productive. Release it at a state where beta testers are actually needed to dig up the harder to find bugs and not waste time on known ones.

 

And yet again, the official website front page is last to know...

"Latest Developer Tweet" my ass.

 

Yes.



NO!

 

Well when ever the patch is ready...let us christen the new wipe with a gratuitous planet core dive!

 

are we there yet?

this weekend means sunday night when you need to go to bed for work and cant play a lot till next week anyway xD

 

You had a good point though, and I don't think anyone would have flamed you for it.

 

He said in his tweet that the patch will be well worth the wait...has there been any word as to what there might be? I know if I saw some compete patch notes I might be like all exited and say it is worth the wait.

So far the only things exciting that they mentioned is the last wipe (which is not too exciting without some more finished content because odds are when finished I'll restart anyway) a few code fixes so it might run better, would be exciting if i knew for sure that it would run better on my system. Lastly a line that says there might be other cool things that may or many not excite me.

Now don't get me wrong this is important, fixing the code and making a stable more fluid updating system are really good steps in the process but it is not something that will make the patch any better on gameplay the day it comes out, but something that is only good as more and more patches are released.

 

I never heard of this. Why can't I stop playing it O.O
