Guys, believe me, if there was anything concrete we could share with you, we would. I know it's frustrating and I apologise for that. We'll post a full update the very moment it's possible to do so.

What's so wrong with saying "the patch is currently at this stage. Testing has thrown up this and this problem, for which causes are being investigated and will be fixed before release". That's communication. No dates, no promises, but letting the comunity know what is going on. Or "Testing is anticipate top begin next week, assuming the patch compiles correctly" or "Still missing textures for one of the new items, due to a graphics dev being at a meeting/ill/whatever".
Thats communication. The "we'll let you know something when we know something" implies that nobody at KK has a clue what is going on, or is simply doing nothing and doesn't want to put out a lie to the contrary.
I feel the same. Honesty in this case could be the best policy whether things have been done or not. What nidd** just said almost seems to me there isn't a patch in the works?!
im drunk lol
Nidhogg, thank you for apolgising. Now please use your Community Consultant role and your hammer, and goto KK's next meeting saying this lack of communications is unacceptable.Quote:

Im not gonna stand here and play holier than thou as i too want this patch quickly and want it to help the game but honestly you have to look at the bigger picture. problems occurred in the past where too much was given away or promises not kept etc. it was nice a while back to see the work that went in to 2.2 from the dev team but its dried up obviously for a reason we arent privvy too and lets face it the community as it is left is a very volatile bunch of people who they probably just dont want to lose.
to give u an example some idiots were talking on ooc the other week about how there is a new woc3 ppu spell which rezzes multiple dead people instantly and its deffo coming in the next patch :wtf:
We aren't asking for even a single patch note - just that a patch is even in development.
omm
We don't want a leak, we want communication.
I really dunno why some people hold me in any form of positive regard.... all I do is moan about Judges, kamis and WoC...
DJ, you're part of the furniture along with Bram and in some respects me - i just lurk more these days ;)Quote:

Mate, if you had ever sat on me, your ass woulda been full of plasma O_o Not a good place to sit.
BACK ONTOPIC HERE,
I highly doubt we will get a patch within the next 3 months, with all the work on BP and the such. They are running a skeleton team as it is.
[OOT] I might have a clue about KK, maybe their hamsters have dominated the KK's employees and become mad and killed them self? that would mean that the KK's employees are afraid that they buy new hamsters and they couldn't deal with a take-over with the hamsters? that would explain KK is being so slow...
A few people (must not have read my first post) are missing the point I am not after;
"The patch contains x y z. The Patch will be released on the 23rd of December at 11:57am and 10 seconds. CEST."
All I want is;
"Sorry for the delay, having some coding issues, working on it."
Or rather I am after weekly/daily updates eg: "Today we coded, then had lunch, coded more, and then played pong."
That is not hard to do, does not give corperate info, does not promise us all to achive woc five in thirty two seconds flat, it's called communicating, something KK is terroribly bad at, and I hope none of them are married... If they communicate as well at home as they do with their "bosses" and we are bosses in the sense that without us means KK goes bye bye due to lack of funds...
Na, itīs a crack addicted Panda-Bear with a rusty knife.Quote:

Four days left in November, cutting it tight KK ;)
What I'd like to read is :
Approximate release date is ...
Sorry for the delay but we have been working hard etc...
Also I'd like to know WHO is working on neocron atm (how many dev(s) are still working for neocron ?)
It sounds like there are 2 dev and 1 art to me...
I'm baffled that we still have no information, as December is only around the corner.
Hell, what was so wrong with an announcement saying "Sorry guys, was meant to be out this week but not going to happen" in early Novemeber. That is "something to tell us". Missing suggested dates and silence just makes people think that nothing at all is happening.
Still, this is far from the worst example of silence. I think it was 18 months between "Item tracking should be active next week" and "Item tracking had problems and won't make it in game".
