    It would be great to see a blog post detailing plans like the old days...
    Unfortunately, I think people going bat sh** crazy mad when releases got delayed or features got dropped (from what was talked up in the blog posts), has kind of put a damper on UWE openness. To bad, really...I enjoyed those posts as well.

    Not really, this isn't a new practice by UWE by any means. It's pretty much how they've always done it.

    I obviously agree that more information on the state of ns2 development should occur.
    But i feel like that can occur alongside surprises and teases as well.
    Just look how well that one teasing eclipse video was received.

    And while I agree that Hugh probably knew the risk that hype may occur from such a picture, (and therefore shouldn't have risked a date) it is still up to the community how to act and respond to it.
    There's no relieving that responsibility - from either side of the fence, Imo.

    Stop blaming the community they are the ones that are keeping this game alive in the first place. Just admit that UWE (or Hugh) shouldn't have teased on twitter. People are disappointed and that's it end of story.

    It's a little ridiculous to expect people not to be upset. Yeah it's up to us to decide how we act, but it's up to UWE to not put out misleading information. Posting a date from an official twitter account, having 3 UWE staff post on the first page of the thread ("Hint: It's not SN related.") , and then going radio silent when the date comes and goes? Yeah that's not something that the community is gonna rally behind and support.

    you're unfortunately very right.

    Most people have responded by losing their interest towards UWE and the game. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It really is simple as that.

    The especially nasty thing about the mess is that every time something goes bonkers like this, it hurts most on the people who genuinely are excited and care about the game and as a result it keeps shrinking that pool of potential community contributors.

    Ohh, maybe they are going to open source the Toolset, so someone can finally make it easy for modders to do stuff other than change code :D

    Edit: I don't think the hype in this thread by the community was ever anything other than tongue in cheek? I certainly never mean't any more than that...

    That is like blaming the scorpion for stinging the frog. Its not complicated to figure out how forums will react to many things.

    That said I'm glad hugh posted saying the deadline wasn't going to be met. Considering how little information forum goers get now any information is very much welcome information. Also the worst part about all this is that skulk sounds, alien structures not flashing and mineshaft being 100% broken is going to last even longer now :(

    I dont care if it's past the deadline, just tell me what it is so I can decide whether or not I care already!

    I am actually amazed a thread purely about speculation has gone on for 8 pages and ultimately turned into a uwe-frustration thread. lol Well done people.

    On that note... Hugh has always super-hyped everything. Just expect some sort of patch with fixes and/or content and be happy. It will come out eventually.

    :D

    What happens if the patch is actually some sort of paid DLC?

    Tip for all: Never have expectations. You'll never be let down! ;P

    If I dont find out soon I'm going to shave WasabiOne's moustache off and mail it to Hugh, hair by hair.

    Well thats the strangest threat ive ever heard in my life.

    Thats precisely what Hugh wants you to do. He will then take the strands and sell them as part of the new gorge tier. Ever wonder why the gorge plush neve happened? The body can only be woven from the finest silky strands of WasabiOnes stache. You fool, can't you see you're falling right into his trap!

    Wasabi is a scary man. I wouldn't try that even with excessive amounts of alcohol.

    No, he's planning to incorporate every single hair into his new Evil Beard Of Doom™, which is made up of unfortunate caster's beards who are slowly integrated into it until they perfectly fit on to Hugh's face and can be used as a shield for atmospheric re-entry (dammit, Hugh, I told you you need more boosters).

    Agreed - hush up and play, ya'll.

    this is the kind of brainless nuthugging that really needs to stop in this community. "Hush up and play, the developers lied about a release date again. You should be grateful."

    Yes.. that is exactly what it is! What is so wrong with that? What world is this where accountability for your own personal actions and behavior go out the window??
    You are not forgiven for heinous actions (stinging the frog) because "it's your nature"...

    That is akin to suing McDonalds because your coffee was too hot.
    Other parties are not responsible for your own personal actions, they are yours to make - so be accountable for them.
    but it's up to UWE to not put out misleading information.
    the developers lied about a release date again.
    Lol, are you serious??
    This kind of language, where you inaccurately insinuate intentional harm on the part of UWE in order to villanize - really needs to stop in this community.

    You know they missed it.. they didn't lie, yet you use that word anyways.
    You know it wasn't actually (or intentionally) misleading information, yet you say it anyways.
    You know such unreasonable reactions will make them less likely to share anything with the community in the future... yet you do it anyways. (selfishly)

    Basically, It's disingenuous at best, and downright toxic at worst.
    I don't even want to touch this thread anymore, ugh..

    It would be great to have more communication and openness about patches and when they're happening and info as soon as we officially decide to delay them. I completely agree with you. I'd love to be able to make that happen. I can't promise anything, but I'm going to see if there's anything I can do.
