I don't really understand what we expect from SI.

If they give us a vague response like "Things are going well, we don't expect any problems and it will be out soon. Thank you for being great customers and we appreciate your patience and understanding" .... what would this actually tell us? Really?

Alternatively of course they could give us a list of all the bugs they plan to fix (or think they have fixed). This way they would have to back-track if they found a problem later in the testing phase. This would not be very professional so they can't adopt this approach. Afterall, it's not like most of the forum members are understanding enough to appreciate this honesty.

They could of course not talk about progress at all, but give us a rough date when it will be ready. Something along the lines of "It will be out within the next few weeks so maybe end of February or beginning of March". Would this help? Obviously not, because this is what they have said and still it won't suffice.

Alternatively, they could say nothing at all and dish out a keyboard-delivered electric shock to anyone that posts another "patch" post when there are already 30-40 of these already posted on this forum.

I know that the latter is what I'd vote for at the moment. :thup:

i like that

but could you imagine if they had sticky that kept us updated...lets say once a week. now that would be good for us who care about the game and want to know whats going on. and you would not get these stupid questions asked all the time. but i guess thats would never happen

While many people think this would be a good idea, and in theory it would be, all it would serve to do would be to provide a place for people to vent their criticism at the fact the patch is even needed in the first place and the fact that it hasn't already been released.

Because of the general attitude of many forum members these days it's best all round for SI to just keep quiet and release the patch when it's ready.

:thup: Big thumbs up to that. I'm just as keen as everyone else to have it released. But SI haven't let us down at this stage of releasing a patch. This is almost always the patch that fixes each annoying bug and finely tunes the engine so it is worth waiting for. Let's just give them the space to do it properly.
