Understood. I guess its the fact that i love this game but see nothing truly exciting announced for A17 thats getting to me. Vehicles are cool, gun mods kinda cool...everything else...meh..
I had some hope for an AI rework and bandits in A17 but that hope is pretty much gone. Im already looking past A17 to A18 in hopes there WILL BE an A18... and i hope bandits dont go missing like the behometh..
Well, let's hope you don't get hit by a truck (or a train...) before A18...
Humor aside... (or not!)
I've only been around since A15, (noob, only 3000+ hours) and have learned to manage my expectations with regards to what MAY be or NOT coming out in the next Alpha/Beta/yadda. That's a pretty good size list for A17 and they have revealed many times that they are not revealing everything. (Seriously, couldn't there be a lot of things coming that we just don't know about yet?)
I do have my own opinions about health bars, gycopters, loots, combat, yadda, (AND THE LACK OF TRAINS!) but my expectation is that, as a whole, I believe TFP will provide enough on an improvement that I will only be able to tolerate it for another 1000 hours. (for free).
And, besides, as many have mentioned, there's mods, and... Oh, yeah
- JAX -
it's the end of February. Do I need to lookup your PROMISE (rofl!) about RavenLoft 3.0! (And, guys, I know the name. It's just that it's been 2 weeks and I'm waiting for the next version that was promised! And that it WILL be a YUGE improvement!)
(Look Jax, you shifted almost ALL of the expectations for TFP to you!! Good Job. I think you (and Val, etc) should be on TFP's payroll. At least a couple cents every time someone mentions they don't mind waiting for TFP as they're playing someone's mod...)
