<=O ive waited nearly 3 years for this update i cant wait any longer DX

Cannonfury · #2 10-02-2011, 05:24 PM

They might be waiting till after the Muetros Moon thing is over this month.

What update are you talking about? The ship customization update that may be in the works?

Captain Del · #4 10-02-2011, 05:54 PM

Pirate's never confirmed anything close to a release date. Early on they said on their Youtube channel that they would attempt to get it done by the end of September, but I believe a week or two ago they said that they had delayed the update a little bit so that they could work out the kinks, and add new features that were not seen in the video they released. So, patience should be given to them in return for a worth-while update.

I was checking the YouTube page comments and thought this one was a good statement.

To me, the delay and taking your time sounds more of good news than bad. Multiple times has impatience and rushing updates effected the game negatively so I think, taking longer but eventually having a great update With Bug Fixes beats impatience.

I think POForums' Leo said that. Just have some patience, Mate!

Aye, and remember it's no picnic creating a brilliant update. We don't know how long they've been working on the update, but I'm certain that they haven't been doing it for three years. If you have been waiting that long for this, I'm sure a few weeks will be fine. And why start ranting about it when you know it's coming? Mustn't rush them - you remember what happened with the SOTL.

But somehow they will miss a fix to game-breaking bugs...

The bug where the "Potions" activity doesn't reward you any Notoriety points or "Potions" experience if you have the max amount of a potion and try to craft it again, still exists in the game from 3 updates ago.

I'm not sure how they could miss this.

Bobby Flat Foot · #9 10-02-2011, 11:37 PM

They just guesstimated, who knows how long it will really take them...

I agree but... they did say that their "goal" was to get this so called "update" to test within 2 to 3 weeks or 20 to 30 days. Hopefully this week is my last prediction...

Otherwise it won't be on live for the 4th Year Anniversary of potco, if that's what their "new" goal or "goal" was... (I think someone else had said the same thing but only on another forum).

I think they should release things one at a time, not all in 1 update. That way, we can get things to play with sooner, without having the quality lowered.

Or if not that, then at least communicate with their customers more.

It's been 3 months since new content was added. My patience is still dwindling...

I'd be happy with more communication with players from the developers during the "wait" game with content and bug fix patches.

A sneak peek or a blog post for players to ask questions to the developers and get some answered in the next post or something.

That would be great, however, I must stop fantasizing.

They lower the quality of things due to the rendering problems of the game engine. People were always complaining how bad it lagged, even on low settings.

Panda 3D was created by disney then transferred over to a college for it to be maintained.

It wasn't properly documented, which might explain why it's more lag in unusually settings/locations.

Forget Customization... we were promised Chapter 2 and beyond nearly 4 years ago.
