Waiting for Demon Summoning

He probably just has a friend(s) that got picked for the CB. It's not like you need to know studio employees to get CB info, NDA or no.

Changing a game so that textures that couldn't before can now reflect, changing water that looked like a large blue nasty living creature into a pond that "looks' like real water, and adding shadows that make the city look alive are obviously not hard to make and test. On top of all that it breaks a lot of preexisting items that were not broke before, but that should be totally easy to fix right? I guess they need to fire the dev team and get a new team in there, and since we could all do it better... How about all of us? (Anyone catch the sarcasm? I hope so!)

Anyway today is April 5th. They said DS would come out in April. That leaves us 4 more Tuesdays for it to come out. So four more weeks, technically a month until they HAVE to release it or in turn receive many angry GR PRE-PURCHASE customers, or at least ones that wanted DS in April. No one has any right to get mad until it DOES NOT come out in April. Lighten up people! There is obviously a lot to test or it wouldn't be taking this long. I want all this released too, but I'm not yelling hate at anyone until they start breaking promises, which they aren't doing.

Keep in mind just cause DP was released March 2nd doesn't mean they "owe you" to have it out April 2nd... That was just when it came out. It has nothing to do with when anything else will come out.

I totally agree with everything you said, but let me offer this as a rebuttal:

DS Nao!

Well, one of the Training Rooms has been down for a few days now, and it happened to go down after it was stuffed to the brims to the point of needing a queue for around half a day. Was that the last day of CB perhaps? Or maybe they just shut it down because of Easter (but why leave one open?). Myself, I dunno .

And there's still 10 more days until the middle of the month.

Obviously, there's still bugs that need to be worked out in CB. Would you rather they push it into OB now with it needing more work, or let them work out any major bugs they may have first and then put it into OB? I, for one, say let them get it completely 'polished' and then either put it into OB or just release it. My point is, April has barely begun...so, chill out people! I17 will be ready when it is ready.

'nuff said!

Have they tried stem cells yet?

Um... no. You still have 390 days to go before April 2011 is over... >.>

It might be that Issue 17 isn't quite ready yet, so to meet the April deadline set for Demon Summoning, perhaps they might have to release it separately rather than with Issue 17. While there is still a lot of April left, this is pretty much the last week to start open beta without making it a short one compared to previous OBs. With things like UI changes and Ultra Mode, a longer than normal OB would seem likely as well.

If it was just a new version of Issue 17 that was being tested on the EU PTS, it doesn't seem likely they would have to revert it back to Issue 16, and if Issue 17 really is that close there probably wouldn't be a need to make fixes prior to Issue 17's release at this point.

Hopefully a Red_Name will give us an update on the OB's status tomorrow.

They regularly do this with every large content update--and yes, we certainly don't want it to break down with this one. As for CB/OB, it means nothing.

LOL I love how there's a WoW machinima made by one of my fave machinima makers in the most popular sidebar...Oxhorn. I also kind of like Nyhm too. Dunno how many other people like him tho...

For many racing games I've seen (outside of Need for Speed) they get rather detailed. I played one where you had to tune your engine down to the smallest detail, pick the exactly right tire type, adjust the alignment... the hole nine yards. If you messed up too badly, well you would never finish the race. Your skill at car tuning was as important as steering skill.

Pets already can turn on you. If the mastermind gets confused, his/her pets turn around and start pounding on the mastermind who 'controls' them. Usually resulting in a rapid face plant.

OOOH! So 'solo' means 'without using two thirds of your primary'! As I told someone the other day who claimed my thug/ta mastermind couldn't solo the carnie spawns intended for our team of six without my pets:

"Your right, I couldn't. They are all my damage. How well would you solo without any of your attacks?"

He stopped mocking my having pets out after that and started to listen as I explained how to better survive vs carnies.

Never noticed that. Of course, I always get Assault and Tactics as soon as I can with my MMs so me and my pets are mostly protected from Confuse, Taunt, Placate, and Fear.
