I'm very excited for the patch which will come out this week.
Would be a blast if the animator is finished with the new grenade launcher animation, so that UWE can implement the new grenade launcher for build 217. :D

    The good news is, there will be some eye candy in 217 (like the new grenade launcher)

    The bad news is, 217 is not going to be this week. We are pushing on making it a great patch, getting a lot of fixes and optimizations in, so the plan is to release it around the 28th. The patch will be worth the wait, though, we promise.

    I struggle with mixed emotions right now... I'm not sure if I'm sad about the long wait or even more excited about the patch becoming even bigger... :D

    If the exo will be in, they will announce it big.

    please don't hate me for this, i love your game and i understand that it's better to wait if it seems necessary. i'm just a bit annoyed whenever release-announces are somewhat off... regardless, please keep up the great work :)

    maybe they don't even know themselves yet, as there is still time to work on it.

    It is relatively annoying, I still stick to what i said before, just release a mini-patch and add the rest of the 'goods' in the next patch. Oh well, stuck with carpace skulks for another week, fun.

    The whole false early patch date thing is kinda lame but good things take time. And I'm glad this patch is looking to be baws.

    This would probably be nicer for the players but would surely mean extra work for the developers, with the planned release time window closing in they need as much time as possible. That's why i'd say don't do extra work! ^^

    This.

    Although it might be tempting, if you guess wrong it will only serve to annoy. Just post in which week you'll be rolling one out and it will reduce the pressure on your shoulders as well as informing the community without having a chance to disappoint them.

    Keep on developing! This game will be so sick good.

    Awesome sauce. This build has been quite generous to my machine and has been treating it with kindness and respect, upping my fps to the magical range of 20. Kinda not saddened by the patch date being pushed back.

    There shouldn't be a release date at all, 1.0 should be decided when the game is fully ready to be called both feature complete and at least mostly bug and crash and bad performance free. as much as is possible at least.

    Take your time with build 217, ignore the froob loobs who want you to rush it then whinge about problems. they're doing it wrong. it's my job to whinge about things, not theirs! D:
