Are you done with the weekly previews? I hope not. I rather looked forward to seeing the amazing work getting put into this mod.
They said last week thats its a weekend preview and its still the weekend ~:)
Haven't people realized yet that the previews aren't always on Friday anymore? I mean, we get a thread like this once every week.
I think Khelvan has a longer weekend than us ~:)
What happend to "patience is a virtue"? It will be done when it's done. :)
They were never always on Friday, though for a while I posted them then...
the weekend prewiew has 4 hours to hit me before it monday in engerland. i believe i deserve a medal for pionting this out ~D
Hehe, well I must point out that Monday is Memorial Day here in the United States, and is a national holiday, as such this is considered a long weekend.
~;)
Unfornately fo you the weekend si not designated by those of you living in America, unless amajority of the countries in the world recognise teh holiday, there are a fwew tha td o this,it is not regarded as part of teh weekend so by my trime you have 3 hours.
c'mon. dont give him a deadline, wiht all the respect but thats pathetic. still, looking back at teh first preview (for me thats in January) you can see how massive the previews have become.
then, 3 screenies a week were phenomanale, now we get 12 screenies and a shitload text. i really couldnt care less wh'en its posted. i'm still said that its not there, but still. wh'en its there its great
I term them weekend updates out of convenience. They are weekend for ME, no one else, so yes, the weekend is determined by America. Or, more specifically, by This Particular American.
However, if we aren't ready for an update, we aren't ready. I'm not going to force one if I don't have the material.
I understand. but the real Question is: is it going to be ready this day, time, hour, etc? Whats the current state, so I can/cant get some sleep
I am waiting on some particular things, and I don't know when they will be available.
ok, thnx.
btw, congrats on your 3,000 posts ;)
And also, any Brits, it's a Bank Holiday today here, so it's still the weekend til Tuesday. I lokk forward to the preview. :bow:
Even if it's not a holiday in your country, do you really expect him to sit down for a couple hours and make you a preview on HIS holiday? If so, then like Bill Lumberg, you represent all that is soulless and wrong.
It becomes some kind of addiction. If we don't get our weekly EB preview, we start to get nerves. ~D
Poor Khelvan doesn't even get a holiday as far as I know. I wish he would just disappear for a couple of days and get some R&R away from all of this. It's crazy that he's the one having to post this anyway, but he is the best one to handle it, though on top of all his other duties it seems a bit much. So, although there has not been an update yet, please understand that he's doing so much more than any person should working on this and another huge and absolutely integral part of the mod right now. All of our other guys who are working hard on getting these factions and their systems ready right now are trying to help too, and while I hope to see the mod's fans pleased with another faction preview, I do know that getting other parts completed sooner would be in the best interest of the mod in the long run. Keep your fingers crossed though! ~DQuote:

So I guess they haven't completed enough units to post a countdown. Sad.
Most certainly not, There are loads of talented people with EB, Khelvan is just the spokesman, if you will, for the mod.Quote:

it takes a lot of time to do. it won't affect the release of the mod itself.
sit down and relax, drink a beer if your above legal age in your country and think of something else.
call your girlfriend, do something productive instead of stressing people in gaming forums.
2h and 30min left before it's tuesday where i live... ~D
I know your an hour ahewad of me, when does the weekend end when it sinn america?
America's a big place. I know that Khelvan further west than I do, even though I'm not in Amurrica per se. I have about 8 hours left, so that's 9 or 10 until tuesday for him.Quote:

Khelvan said they aren't doing one this weekend, because you guys whine too much.
i don't see much whining here right now. just good some good natured jokes.
Actually he posted it in TWC just before the poop hit the fan.
It was mindblowingly good :dizzy2:
~;)

Yep, The Tank got it. ~:cool:
Still got 5 hours to go here
3 hours and 13 minutes... ~:eek:
its about 4 hrs here
There's still about 6 hours left on the Pacific until the next day. Also, he did say the preview could be after today as well. So, no need to stay near the computer refreshing. :p
well the weekend is drawing to a close. and im left gasping for breath without an EB preview to keep me going.
maybe life just isnt worth living anymore... :help:
Still 4 hours and 13 minutes left in the Memorial day weekend on the good old west coast of the USA. Even more in Alaska and Hawaii.
Crazed Rabbit
He's still online... SO there's still hope...
No it should end in about 1 hr because thats the time left in Pueto Rico the most eastwerd possesion of the US.
49 minutes left...
remember, khelvan is in st. louis, so he's in central time.. he has about 1:40 left. ~;)Quote:

no. it wont backfire. its just that he didnt anounce it to everybody. and now everybody is desperate and in great despair....;)
maybe he just likes to stress us out :'D
calm down and wait. He will post it when it is ready to be posted.
Well, now we couldn't sleep on Thursday nights, it seems that we will have to stay awake whole week... ~;) Anyway, everything happens for a reason... who knows, may be that the install pack needs some final polishing... hopefullyQuote:

There, now that you are relaxed, I have one thing to say to you.
...
Patience is a virtue.
Mercy ! I need my weekly dose of EB ! :dizzy2:
The problem with providing something so often and well for you guys is that you come to expect it. Putting together these updates is not a small thing to do, much goes into them. We all have real lives, with real jobs or schoolwork, wives or girlfriends, and other responsibilities. Not to mention work on the mod itself, which is at a critical point at the moment.
I know you haven't got your weekly fix, and I will get it to you as soon as I can. In the meantime, however, I'm spending some time with my wife.
Khelvan you make it your self to difficult.
You where not clear about why you could give us the weekly update.
Because of that allot EB fans are confused..
It better to place a sticky in the EB forums that there wont be a update this weekend or week because you have other more important things to do.
I am sure that most EB fans will accept that including me ;-).
Your wife? WIFE?
I've heard some lame excuses in my life, but this one tops it all. Get back to work, you lazy bones!
I don't understand. I wasn't under the impression I answered to anyone. I always thought that these previews were a gift of sorts to you guys, and that the regular schedule I kept was done when I could do so. Just because I could do so for a good period of time doesn't make it a set in stone schedule.
Like other things we do, these previews are not paid for, and are done as we have the capability and time to do so. I apologize if I have made things difficult for anyone because I haven't dropped my family life and mod work to make the preview for anyone, or to spend the time trying to come up with an explanation for me missing a deadline set for me by the fans.
How terribly inconsiderate of me.
Edit: Not a response to Jebus ;)
Seriously guys, lay off Khelvan. He isn't under any obligation to us, and he's got a life outside the mod. The new preview will come when it comes, and it will almost certainly be amazing.
Please, relax. You'll get your fix soon. We do have lives outside of EB, and while we do set deadlines, they are not goals we demand of ourselves to meet without failure. Sometimes things get a bit busy. However, I can promise you, internally, the mod has not slowed down. In fact, it's actually been moving fairly well, we're still making plenty of units, working out new systems, and bug hunting, and everything has been pretty positive. However, putting together those updates takes time, and Khelvan is pretty dilligently working on this stuff. However, he needs cooperation from a lot of folks who are also busy; it'd not be so bad if we were all busy at once, but more often, people are busy when he has the free time to put the update together. It will be up soon though, and the additional stress doesn't help. We get tense about getting the updates ready to, we all know how much you want to see them, and you will.
Don't get me wrong Khelvan, I am very pleased and grateful with the weekly updates that you make in your spare time.Quote:

What I tried to say to is that if you don't have time because of whatever reason to make a preview I perfectly understand that.
What I tried to tell you is that If you only placed a new sticky in the forums that you don't have time then it is clear for most EB fans like me.
Except maybe for Jebus ~;) but you can ignore him :-)
Now that hurts.
:devil: ~;)Quote:

I'm sorry if i have offended you, i was just playing around. most of them is this thread are. were not holding anything against you. take your time and relax, we can wait.Quote:

the amount of info you are giving to us at teh moment is huge compared to that.
pzl relax, EB is looking so good that most of us (again, probably not jebus ~;) ) can wait for a long time, we were just playing and curious
cold turky...
But hey Khelvan, you've done a terriffic job since the first EB news thread. And we really appreciate your and all members of the EB team's work. But hey take a look to all these screenshots and stuff would you be able to wait without pulling your hair out?
well most of us can't. But we can't blame you, well we could only blame you guys for making such a great mod.
Thx.
-GG
For all the people who are "unhappy" about not getting their fix : the closed beta is in the works. So, if they keep working on it, the sooner they can go to open beta.
I'm pretty sure most of you are just aching to play it, so give the team some slack. :)
The only suggestion i have is that next time you know you wont get a preview out in time just post a thread saying so. That way you wont have people spending hours on their computer refreshing the page every 5 seconds. Which i wouldnt be surprised if people did.
I've now apointed myself the person who the complainers come to when they are missing their EB fix. I will distribute flowers, hugs, and Grateful Dead teddy bears to make the withdrawls easier, as well as telling bed time stories about the battles I have fought in the latest version of EB. ~:grouphug:
Any and all people who continue to bother Khelvan will be trampled by a horse. :charge:
~;)
Bed time stories? Battles?? EB??? Okay, you got my attention.Quote:

but ok, tell a story...I'd like to hear some EB-testing battle scenes
i can wait since i have finals coming up hehe, don't worry, all of us fans should know that you are under no obligation to do your update, I actually rather have you work on EB instead of giving us eyecandy, maybe just update the progress instead of eyecandy, I was never into screenshots, I like reading about how the mod is going ands tuff, meh thats jsut me, keep up the good work, imo you don't have to update at all, as long as the mod is going well, I'll wait.
Is that their fault? is that normal behavior?Quote:
