L5 members have to sign an NDA and they can't speak about anything on the L5 forums.

As usual no estimated date for the patch.

mohammadm55 · Post by **mohammadm55** » Fri, 25. Jul 14, 19:32

what im saying is how long does it usually take for other patches to go from egosoft - private beta - public beta

like how long did it take patch 2.2 to go from private beta to public beta?

no one will give you a time, other wise if its a day later than they state the complaint threads start emerging.... "why is the patch not here yet?" "we got told X amount of days and the patch would be here...." etc etc etc

An obvious factor in determining the time for that process would be the amount of work needed to bring the issues that are found in private beta up to what Egosoft think is a suitable standard for release to public beta as an actual Release Candidate. The old adage springs to mind - 'Do you want it now, or do you want it right?' (Substitute 'better' for 'right' though in a beta testing scenario.)

At least we have progress in that department.

There is the "Are we there yet?" effect which means that the actual time to completion increases by a factor of between 1.1 and 2.0 every time the question is asked.

ok let me ask my question in another way that would make sense and not be confusing.

i dont wane know when will patch 2.5 go public beta.

what i do want to know is what has been the average time it has taken other patches in the past to go from private beta to public beta?

exelsiar · Post by **exelsiar** » Sat, 26. Jul 14, 01:08

dude, the answer to that is exactly the same, for exactly the same reasons.

Which part of 'No ETA' is so problematic....

You're gonna have to learn that you need to do your own homework on these forums.

For example: Stickied at the top of the forums is this News and Patch Information post, and you can clearly see the DATES when each patch was released, so you can easily calculate this AVERAGE that you're asking us to tell you.

I wonder if i'll be able to play this game and have my 50$ worth of fun before Elite:Dangerous is out.

mohammadm55 · Post by **mohammadm55** » Sat, 26. Jul 14, 05:43

man people around here are very nice folks who love to bash my question even tough they don't want to answer it.

i bought this game once 2.2 came out, because it seamed like it had made the game go from shit to something worth playing. and it has in many ways, the combat system is wonderful, the movement system and communication system has improved alot.

but what gets to me is when i stop being a lone gunman and actually try to become a trade emperor. i start seeing that there is whole lot of issues.
like how there is literally no one selling any reinforced metals in my game. and every time i want a new stations i have to edit it in. or like how there is a stupid limit of 2 stations per zone, i mean Jesus 2 stations per zone. or when i invested 300 million into a stations and that station takes all that money and produces 400 million worth of wares but no way to sell it even tough there is another station willing to buy all of it at 20% higher price.

so an ETA of when the patch will go public testing from the forum goers and not actual EGOshit employees gives me an idea of if i should just put the game on hold or play and fix the problems by working around them.
also i could careless what company employees say iv had my fair share of BS from companies like EA and blizzard from stuff being promised and not delivered like simcity to release dates being 1year later then they said it would be like warlords of drenor

also i dont want anyone to think i blame EGOshit for my purchase. i purchased the game knowing what state it was in. and i dont blame anyone. i just like the whole concept and i just want it to be 100% realized witch i know EGOshit will deliver in time, but im 100% sure it will be a long time.

wow what a big rant

You may be jumping the gun a little bit if you think a patch in the near future will fix those issues. We have been waiting for the economy to be fixed since the game came out in november, and now 8 months later there is still little to no improvement in that area. XR is currently a huge pain in the ass if you want to play it in that style.

that is exactly why Egosoft employee's rarely give information unless they know 100%.

Average release time is 1 month, but considering that the summer holiday is starting this can get postponed by up to 4 weeks.

But I bet they are aiming to release before Gamescom.
