Okay, this is what I just can\'t fathom....
The dev\'s have not yet released CB, because...they keep adding things to it or what? I have looked at
this page alot, and I have seen things being changed on a little by little basis, that\'s great, amazing and I commend you for it.
But, what I find difficult to understand, is the game playable? ?(
If any of you have seen/played this game:
Freeworld Have marveled at the innovation that is apparently impossible for this game:
Putting out an unfinished game, and patching it automatically when someone makes a change to the game.
I don\'t understand how hard this would be, because, after talking with their devs, it isn\'t all too hard to implement.
Put CB out already, I understand that combat, the skeletal models and certain other issues have been resolved?
Is this enough to make a playable game, yes or no?
If so, why not make an auto-patching feature that will add this change when a player starts up the client? Shut down the server after a patch is completed, implement patch, start up server again, and everyone\'s patched? I mean, with the progress I see in the sourceforge pages, there would be small patches daily, maybe twice in a day. But the point is, there\'s a playable game, something to put out on the Warcry site that would look nice too \"Patches frequently add new features/streamline the game.\" ?(
If not, then why not concentrate on just that? Making perhaps half or a quarter of the projected world, add the new Hydlaa, a few monsters, a real quest or two, maybe some more npc\'s trees, and who knows what? ?(
I mean, it might deviate from what the team is up to, but at least it would relieve the \'pressure\' from the fans, and maybe lighten up the frustration the more, how should I say? Blunt, members experience when dealing with newbie questions.
Either way, such an auto-patching system will do much to alieviate the animosity surrounding such things as \"release dates\" and \"not holding your breath\". That\'s just silly, I mean what\'s the point? ?(
Another thing. Look at the type of replies to posts we get, go back a couple hundred pages and see what nicer people we once were. Maybe it is just that some people are natrual jerks, most who are haven\'t been around longer than a month and are already feeling the burn of a newbie question. Heck, I myself, instead of flaming the nearest n00b, try to ask half-practical questions about development and a viable solution to problems. :rolleyes:
Besides, that, I\'d really like to hear from Vengence on why this system is not implemented for the game. Well, maybe it can be, maybe its too much trouble. All I know its practical, soo,
what\'s the verdict? ?(
