News on the patch.

[Veresov]

If the game is so buggy, are we sure all the bugs have been found so they can be corrected?

The game isn't so buggy, in fact, the game has no bugs. The patch is taking a long time so that people get impatient and irratated.

Seriously, CA apparently only wants to do one patch. There are a ton of documented bugs such as broken animations, uber peasants, a cavalry charge problem (acknowledged by CA), siege problems, and so on and so on. This is going to take some time to correct.

Clarification, please?

I believe he was being sarcastic and was making fun of the people who think CA is only holding the patch to irritate the community.

[Doug-Thompson]

Ok.

A day 0 patch that was released on day 0 would have been nice.


With any luck this news will come sooner rather than later.

Well... I suppose 'releaseday patch' is a rather broad term in regards to time.

Personally I would prefer weekly patches that cleaned up a little bit here and there until the game was as good as it could get (that doesn't mean perfect, just at good as possible), over a single massive patch to fix everything including the stuff fixes caused.
I mean, aren't we the best QA anyway? Aren't we the best to determine if a bug (that isn't a CTD) is playkilling?

History has shown that patches, unless absolutely critical (like the 30 or so player limit to RTW MP), will take a long time, and still include rather substantial problems (56-year bug?).

I personally don't think so. If CA listened to a lot of complaints on this forum, the game would be worse off for it.

I think his first statement was intended as heavy sarcasm while the second displayed his real opinion. At least, it looked that way to me.
