Ts4EVER Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 From my limited experience I can tell you these things have a way of ballooning out of control and I am going to assume that they are not in a position to hire tons of new people for crunch time etc. At the end of the day I don't get impatience, just buy it when it is out (or don't, if it looks crap) and until then play something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. There's nothing to do research on. Just an endless number of excuses and vague remarks. Steve PROMISED the module will be released THIS year. And I still value his word more than that of elvis or any of you for that matter. Edited December 4, 2020 by Aragorn2002 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Elvis works for Steve you would think that Steve would have authorised that date commitment - so call it nonsense all you like. I also can live with the fact that, based on previous performance, it may not hit that target date. If it doesn't hit the target date, it will almost certainly be for reasons of quality control. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give a ... about what you can or can't live with. It is promised and in my world you keep your promise. Quality control after all these years of waiting? A bloody shambles, that's what this is. This is just a simple module for an existing game. No new game, no new nationalities, no new features, no new theatre of war. Just a simple module. There are no excuses left for the laughable way this module has been handled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say that the campaigns and scenarios are almost complete and the TO&E needs a little more once a week, is that what you're looking for? It isn't for Aragorn but if that is all there is to report than that is all there is to report. I mean I guess that I can spice up how I say it. Like, "one of Combatintman's scenarios has been tested again. He agrees with the recommended adjustment with it and is reworking it now. slysniper has uploaded an altered version of one of his."? I take no offense to your question. It shows enthusiasm for what we're creating. That is very flattering and not annoying at all. I hope that everyone understands that we'd like the module released more than everyone on this forum combined. We don't get paid for the work until it is completed. But, and I think that most people here would agree, that rather than rushing out an incomplete and/or inferior product our reputation has been to release quality work and we want to keep it that way. 17 hours ago, Aragorn2002 said: ........... an update on the progress made. And I don't want to hear everybody is working on the scenarios and campaigns, ...... What if there is nothing more to report than that? I'm happy to make something up if that is more palatable. Quote For God's sake, it's December and we're still kept in the dark. Is all this secrecy really necessary? Kept in the dark about what? What question would you like answered that hasn't been answered already? I'm happy to give it a shot. What am I missing here? I gave a release date and that date wasn't in December. Expecting it in December when a release date in January was given isn't realistic, is it? Quote Just finally release this module and do it without pre-ordering as a gesture towards those who waited for so long. There will definitely be a pre-order period. Traditionally pre-orders open when the release on just about ready for primetime. It is also when the official contents of a release are announced. Until then all aspects of a release are subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with you is that I don't have any confidence left in what you say. Too many broken promises. You probably think you're very smart by giving a release date in January, while most people in this community hope for a pre-Christmas release and not for the first time, I might add. Don't you communicate with your boss either? Do you allow Steve to make a public announcement, while you know his promise can't be kept? In my world that would have cost you your position, without a golden handshake. You're not fit for communication as you've proved time and time again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I want you to give me more information even though I don't believe a word that you say." I am trying to think what I've said that is a broken promise though. That I am curious about. So, exactly which promises have I broken? (your statement and my question are plural......I'd take a single example) You've got yourself too wound up, my friend. It is not life or death. Deep breaths help, bro. Deep breaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe launching mild personal attacks against me but I have pretty thick skin. So, I never considered it. As I said about you, I understand people being passionate and it's flattering that when someone is passionate about something that I'm involved with creating. What gets lost, and I've alluded to, is that there isn't some conspiracy holding things up. It is what I've said that it is. No more or less complicated or nefarious than that. If he (or anyone else) thinks that I'm full of poop when I say that there is nothing that I can do about that. But, having said that........I am going to give this thread about 10 minutes before locking it up. There are at least 2 other threads where/thoughts/concerns about the time the module is taking can be commented on. No need for 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
