Next patch anticipation thread

[Cerilis]

Well, it's Friday and at least over here it's common to leave early on Fridays. On the other hand, if there is something like a patch/DLC to be thrown out soon...

 

[tekjunkie28]

Hard to say. They've been doing daily qa updates for the past 2 weeks and working till 6pm EST the past few nights. Either A) They get the qa build updated in the next hour, B) everyone dropped what they were doing to go home, or C) the patch and DLC are tonight.

I'm going 45/45/10 on those odds at the moment. I will revise them if nothing happens in the next hour.

Put me down for a $40 on that, hahah

Looks like some people are hyped for a patch that nobody knows what it will contain nor when it will be released. Strange world.

The patch notes are the best.

I mean we all paid good money for this game. I for one would like to play it and be able to enjoy it. I DO enjoy it now to an extent but not enough to buy expansions or DLC. I may never even load it back up again which is a real rip off. I want to be challenged...

Maybe my time with gaming is coming to a close

Okay, updated forecast for tonight:

50% chance Firaxians got the afternoon off and no one bothered to update the 2K qa build
30% chance Firaxians are still slaving away and the qa build will be updated soon
20% chance Patch and DLC tonight

It is still a video game at the end of the day. Designed by regular American workers who worry about things like their 401k, buying iPhones, NVIDIA cards and providing for their loved ones. They aren't sacred products to be presented to an individual in hopes of meeting their specific demands. It's a game, relax, have a little fun with it and take it for what it is. Criticism is fine, but I find being constructive in said criticisms will make you a lot happier than throwing your hands up in frustration expecting the game to meet some dogmatic demand for your needs. There are plenty of ways to have some fun with this game and make it challenging in your own way. If that fails, then it fails, let it be.

Enjoy the fact we can all relax and have some anticipatory excitement (and anxiety) over some new stuff that will be a part of a video game we enjoy or want to enjoy.

That being said, I am thinking next week but will check back in a few hours to see if anything is moving. All my Mods will probably do weird things with the patch anyway, so I don't know why I am looking at the clock. Now if only those modders will take the weekend off and get things done so I can be happy

I didn't get to where I am today by relaxing and having fun. I don't know how to code but if I did I would be doing it to the best of my ability.

I don't find no challenge to be fun. I push myself. I also don't ha e friends who play this game which I would like to find. That's the only way to make this game fun.

 

[Cerilis]

Oh my, they are really working long hours today. oO (Update on qa_b)

 

[tekjunkie28]

That being said the overwhelming majority want better AI. If the game was so good the why is there more people playing civ 5? Also check out the reviews on steam. No so good.

Which I thing this game is actually better then civ 5. Definitely more fun but not enough to keep me engaged which is why I keep checking back here.

I truly do hope that the all of you can enjoy the game and maybe we can get a group together from a multiplayer game sometime! I'd like that.

Yeah they are, what time would it be over where they are working?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

It is 7pm there now.

 

[gunnerxtr]

I think it would be 7pm... I believe they are on the East Coast.

 

[tekjunkie28]

Yes Bethesda Maryland I think

 

[Browd]

Actually, they are in town just outside Baltimore; Bethesda is just over the DC line.

 

[Lynnes]

I wonder if they are reading this.

I know! I was there! ...in Fallout. I hope it's actually not a raider infested ruin. Yet.

I'm pretty sure of that.

You're not the only one who's knowledge of DC geography comes entirely from a post-apocalyptic videogame So, wise oracles of the patch thread, do we think these late updates to the QA builds raise or lower the probabilities of an imminent patch?

Lowers. So, I'm gonna start a new game now, as a weekend patch is even less likely.
