OK, but for the love of Stimpacks .... WHEN ?

Post » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:35 pm

Saw the sticky on weapon balance changes. Seems to be all good stuff. I'm really hoping they've also fixed some of the buggy as s**t quests - like Colonel Hsu, Dealing with Contreras, and even the main quest's major malfunctions. But, the big question: when? We're waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I'm thrilled that something's being done, but can we at least get an ETA? And, is weapon balance the only thing in it? C'mon guys, love the game, but you have just got to throw us a bone here.

Apparently, Monday for the PC version, soon after but not determined yet for the consoles probably due to Microsoft and Sony's certification process. Also, the sticky specifically says that thoses were only BALANCE changes, they've got bugfixes and stuff coming as well

Its called just wait.

Dont ask what the patch can do for you but rather what you can do for the patch.

The first part of the post says Monday for PC, and they have no way of knowing the console date, but it would be soon after.

I like the weapon changes but it's the stability & bug fix stuff that I'm more interested in. I know they said that bug fixing was not their primary concern w/this patch, but I wish they had listed what some of those might be. Ah well, I get to find out pretty soon I guess...

...That makes no sense, and we've been waiting long enough.

So waiting around, doing nothing all day makes everything fine then. I'll inform the world leaders.

No it doesnt make everything fine. But you must give the Patch time. Without time there will be no patch.

Look, this is what it boils down to: You've got to manage your expectations. It's as simple as that. Call me an old skeptic or whatever, but I NEVER believe anything I hear (and as they say, half of what I read, and nothing on the internetz) until I see some kind of confirmation, and then I remain suspicious until I see it with my own eyes. It's all about how you allow yourself to be manipulated. If you have a skeptically low expectation of something, when you do get it and it's ok, then you are pleasantly surprised. If you have an optimistically high expectation of something, and when you get it and it fails to live up to those expectations, then you are dissappointed. So it is your own expectations that set you up for pleasure or dissappointment. And you are the only one that can control your expectations. So practice a little skepticism, and a little patience, and maybe, you'll end up pleasantly surprised.

That means you should expect the patch to arrive in 2020 and the DLC to arrive a few years after that....also, you should expect it to be the worst DLC in gaming history....once it arrives and you begin playing, you'll squeal with orgismic delight at how fast it arrived and how great the DLC is!!!.....ya believe me don't ya??? :woot:

So I see you understand what I'm saying. :wink_smile: Seriously, though. Trust me, the older you get the more skeptical you'll be. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the other 3 DLCs aren't even released.

Yeah, like someone said, Monday for PC and who bloody well knows for consoles. I'd guess the end of this week but who knows with sony's servers being all broken and stuff.

So what’s in that patch? First and foremost, optimizations and stability improvements. While there are bug fixes, our core focus was on improving stability and performance. We worked directly with first party platform owners to identify issues, and we have fixed a great deal of the crashes and lockups that people were experiencing. In addition, we scoured the forums and this patch includes weapon balance tweaks and other requested fixes.

See the patch is mainly a bug fix patch, the gun balance was secondary, and we can see it is pretty extensive, the bug fixes must be even moreso extensive.
