Early details for next X³: Reunion patch - 1.3

[Lirethion]

you people just can not be pleased can you... I bet none of you are programmers by trade nor do any of you work in the program design field. Damn all you bitch about is how buggy the game is if you can build it better then do it otherwise give the programmers a break sheese quit complaining.

what are you, mr big suck up?

The fact they have hardly said anything since the post on the 14th November. Yes its going to be before Christmas (allegidly) but when abouts? Come on, you might say it doesnt matter when, but having shelled out a load of cash for the game i dont expect not to be able to play it. And every DAY they make me wait makes me more frustrated. and not hearing from them about why its so late makes me even more frustrated.

thus leaving US in the DARK...

Why O why didn’t ES get them selves a half decent publisher instead of signing up with the first bunch of crooks that came along? If they had we might have avoided all this mess.
I see Creative assembly are now with SEGA and RTW is getting patches left, right and centre making a great game even greater. I think the publisher has the say in when and how many patches the makers are allowed to offer. I suppose this is why the X games never get past 1.4 now, tight arsed publishers.

Fact: Did you know that Starforce security’s are based in Moscow (Russia)

I am a programmer and I'm not complaining because the game runs relatively fine for me (a couple of bugs have been noticed but nothing seriously impacting). If I was experiencing severe bugs and crashing etc. then yeah I probably would complain, programmer or not. In the IT industry "Programming is hard" isn't really a valid reason for taking forever to fix something.

I would just like to point out that I in no way endorse complaining without a good reason (ie. features you want in the game that aren't there) and I actually like X3, just pointing out that taking forever to release a patch isn't directly related to programming it's merely the way Egosoft do it. It may very well be a good way of doing it in this case for all I know but it is possible to meet deadlines and release decent improvements to programs in a timely manner (I do it all the time).

Well they said "Trying" for before Christmas I believe. Which would indicate sometimet this week. Usually major patches like this aren't relesaed on Friday before a 3 day weekend due to the nature that there could be some show stopping bug in them, so they want to have time to respond to anything huge that comes up. So I'd say early part of the week if they do make the prediction of before Christmas.

[masterk]

Mid to late January would be my prediction.

[vogelap]

Actually, they said:

The update is due for delivery prior to Christmas, so everyone can have a decent holiday break this year!

...which gives me hope for a pre-Christmas delivery!

[Zachalmighty]
