Sooo, you are number one somewhere, we got it.
You missed that your filter is set to "Playtime". If we change it to "having fun overall", ..hmm, who knows, do we ?
You have your fun, we got ours.

no...there's no date...I gave you all relevant information "we" have...it's from a dev, so is more valuable than just my or anyone else's word. I know that's not what you asked for, but, it is all that "we" have been given.
soon(tm): is an indefinite period of time... it could mean tomorrow or a couple of months. In this case It sounds like before the end of the month...but, that's just speculation. Dates and effective Communication are not their strong suit.

The TM does mean Two Months and you said a couple of months so... You're definitely right!
Seriously; I figure that since testing have been going on for a while now; I guess they found something else to fix, or maybe they decided to wait because some other feature is mostly done and they want to add it in 2.6 Exp.
I wish they could tell us something, but I figure the silence speaks for itself... Done when it's done!

Lol...TM=two months...that is the funniest line I have heard on here.The TM does mean Two Months and you said a couple of months so... You're definitely right!

That seems like some pretty reasonable reasoning...all that is very plausible...and they do have a history of losing track of time when they think they are close on something.
The only part I even slightly disagree with is the last line...they could tell us something, but, they aren't... and hell's bells...if the guy with the 10th most hours of playtime in North America can't get an update...what chance do "we" have?

Let`t bring that convo to the part that in any sort of development time takes time and for us who are anticipating it to be short, it will cause trouble.
So, when it is done, it is done.
Only Time knows, ask Time, we are curious, too
Bring a towel.

make me beat that dead horse.
if there IS NO WAY to know how long ANY piece of this will take, let alone how long ALL of this is going to take, because "developing is hard and it takes as long as it takes" then I am going to have to ask you for a reasonable explanation for why they put such a short time line on the length of the road map. I'm sorry, but, I won't be accepting "overly optimistic" as "reasonable"...since they know their own history and the pace at which they work.

This here is why you of all people shouldn’t be asking for dates. They gave you dates and you haven’t stopped railing about those missed dates for going on two years now. You bring up the “unreasonably optimistic dates” again and again and again.
So…..no dates. Faatal has already stated that they look at task milestones more than dates as their goals. Plus, you can’t handle the dates. Yes, you’re complaining about “soon” these days but it is a lot milder than the complaining you’ve done over missed dates and all the conspiracy theories and assumptions of malfeasances you’ve concocted because of the dates.
Do yourself a favor and stop asking for dates. If they give them to you, it won’t end well.

As an example, let's say they just fixed a bug and are testing and all looks fine, until that fix created 4 other bugs on related systems in the game. Now they need to fix those bugs and... You cannot put a time estimate on bug fixing.
But what they could do is, at the very least, make a post saying they are close to release, but it might take a little more time than first expected.
I figure that when @faatal doesn't answer messages, it means he's very busy and that can only be a good thing for us in the end.

Lol. Though to be honest, I actually preferred that to his normal screenshot of his game time from in Steam, which we are all aware is mostly server uptime and/or time sitting at the menu rather than actual personal play time.
Is it possible to find out the approximate date of the experimental version 2.6?

Someone in my chat said this recently.
I've played a lot of overhauls over the years, but my playtime hours on steam still go up while playing them, and while making my own.
I don't use the mod launcher so maybe that's why?

Did you actually read the conversation or just reacted to one part of it?
I was not asking for dates. I was telling one guy that no there was no date given for 2.6 and the other sidebar was what you reacted to.
you blew this out of proportion.
soon(tm) is not my invention...the dwellers on here taught it to me...it goes hand in hand with "it takes as long as it takes". well...if it takes as long as it takes...aaaaaaaaaand you can't predict how long these things will take,
That makes my question seem pretty reasonable...then how did they put dates on the road map? I hope you can see that it is not an unreasonable question. The only people who can actually answer that...won't...they go radio silent too often. still doesn't make it an invalid question.

exactly
just communicate
if things happen or the bug is harder to squash...say something...your words would work perfectly...didn't take you long to think em up either I'd bet.

I am sorry, but, no.
I really do think it will be before the end of this month, but, that is just speculation based on that post from the dev faatal. I actually think it will happen imminently, but, accept it could still take weeks. maybe we'll see the updated road map sooner than later. who knows? it could happen. lol
And where can I see the post from the developer?
