ROADMAP?
We don't need roads where we're going Marty!

ROADMAP?
We don't need roads where we're going Marty!

Spoiler

The exact exchange goes like this:

Marty McFly: Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Dr. Emmett Brown: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

I don't even think I am really being impatient....about this part. lol
Joel said two months ago that they were going to update the roadmap...a month ago (roughly) faatal said that they are abandoning the "old" name/numbering system. Is it really asking too much for them to put that info out NOW?

Yes.

I will admit I am a little salty because "they" are also saying it will take another 22 months to get to 8.0 - 10.0...whatever the ■■■■ that means now.
It's taken 20 months to get to here.

Since Faatal had a smiley after that comment I would assume those numbers (like the "22 months") are just examples pulled out of the ether.

I am pretty sure they have no dates fixed for releases at all, much less any idea where exactly they will be in 22 months

well...according to TFP they say bandits are going to be in the game this year (or is that 3.0 will be in the game this year?)...I already got ■■■■ on for saying I just don't believe it will happen...so I guess me and you are fools for having any doubts...eh?

I wasn't calling you impatient there. What Faatal said was clear enough even for someone like me for which English is a 2nd language.

I thought you were being deliberately obtuse, but you truly didn't understand as per your own admission.

Then I suggest you ask him yourself to clear it up. Why would I assume he was being sarcastic?

 

[Laran Mithras]

Why would I assume he was being sarcastic?

Maybe not a wrong assumption; I get the feeling Fataal and Fubar both cringe when anyone makes a date.

 

[meganoth]

What should I ask him? I already know those numbers he said are only guesses or examples.

I said smiley and examples, where do you see any mention of sarcasm?

Is the only humor you know sarcastic?

RWG is mostly flawless at this stage (seriously, some great work has been put into it over the years <3), but one consistent issue remains: wilderness POI's spawning adjacent to roads and the POI boundaries creating an ugly square raised section, sometimes making the road untraversable. I hope this will be looked at in the future. Keep up the amazing work!

Yep, I am aware of it and should get it fixed at some point.

Well, we are working on a series of dates internally for the next two years, but when/if/how they are released to the public remains to be seen. News about some of it will be coming in the next few months.

So a minimum of 2 more years before story/gold. Not really a surprise, though it would have been great to have finished the roadmap closer to the original dates. I really want to see the next game.

 

[bdubyah]

I really want to see the next game.

As do a lot of us, and probably TFP themselves. But I am glad they aren't just kicking the bare minimum stuff out the door to try and speed up that process.

I am as well, but to be fair, if the game was released as gold today (or at least once the bugs are fixed) and they hadn't promised bandits and story and stuff, the game would feel complete and certainly not a bare minimum release.

when/if/how? the game is already "late"...you can't really have it both ways... where you tell me the sandbox was the work of one guy and didn't interfere with Bandits at all, but, Bandits, which ARE a year late...well...they are coming this summer or in the next 2 years...we'll tell you guys later if we can figure out the perfect time.

 

[bdubyah]

On its own, sure, but for those that know what all has been promised it is still lacking several big components.

This is exactly why you are a troll. You want info but as soon as any is given you just ■■■■■ and moan. Please, just go away. No one will miss you here.

seriously, i have an old saying that i like to use..
"Hoping for the best but expecting the worst"
This would apply to bandits, for ever i've expected bandits to take many years to complete but that doesnt mean i can not hope they will be sooner.

 

[plzkthxbye]

Did you make any factual claims in that post? That the game is late, I guess?

I'm not even sure what you're asking for specifically, or maybe the answers you want, or seem to feel entitled to, aren't coming, so that's why you are upset (if you're upset. It seems like you are).
