Leeeave the A17e release aloneee!

 

[Jackelmyer]

The devs just told me that "it would be overly optimistic to expect it before the end of the month". So they aren't ruling out a September release but an October release is very likely. Best to expect October and be pleasantly surprised if it's sooner.

I know you guys aren't fond of giving out this kind of information. So thanks Roland and TFP.

Jan 1 2019. It will be a New Years present for us .

But I'm still betting on Halloween....

With all the delays and really bad guesses on when to release(from madmole) and on top of that the extremely lengthy EA time. I've totally lost any hype and interest I once had. So Im leaving the game and are not sure I will come back at all.
Enjoy A17 if you can.

That's wierd, wait a year for A17 then quit a few days/weeks before it's released... smh

Ps. Threatening to "quit" a game you bought already is probably little incentive for TFP to release it before it's done....

Then again what sane individual wants a revision released before it is done... ?

I remember several revisions ago where they released early and you would get 30-60 hours in only to find out the new update mandated a character wipe... ugh. No thanks. Give me the finished version any day.

Release Date

Mike : Hey John the forums are going crazy and everyone thinks the game's out any day now....given that we're not great at communicating with our loyal paying customer shouldn't we you know....try to put out clear statements?

John : No...I'm realigning the vertices on the wampular angles and the DirectX planes aren't fitting right.

Mike : But John....just a few accurate updates and managing expectations over the months would really show everyone that we're not wrapped up in our own world here and really do care...

John : No....I don't wear this tinfoil hat for nothing you know. The polarisation of the texture planes in the rendering pipeline is really bothering me today and if I take 3 minutes away to write something to the fans then it would break my concentration cycle.

Mike : But John come on man....I'm literally talking about a Friday Developer Update where we say just two lines...something like "work on X is going well, we still have Y and Z to do and then we'll be planning testing".

John : Are you CRAZY???!!! WTF???!!! Friday's when I have extra coffee and pie for lunch and you want me to interrupt this to talk to people? Don't you know the stress that the new tweaks to that shotgun has caused me? The molecular temperature calculations on the barrel velocity alone had me almost banging my desk today...and you know how much I like that desk. What next????? DO YOU WANT ME TO STREAM MY CODING NOW???

Mike : But John - a lot of other companies do this...c'mon man how much time would it take? Think how pissed off our loyal, paying customers get with having so much radio silence.

John : I don't have time. I've just decided I'm going to redo the world generation and virtualisation code and link it to a blockchain back end.

Mike : NO! Doesn't this sound like the time that we made massive changes before? The time we went random, then no random, then back to random, then broke the random, then fixed it and then went back to what we had at the start?

John : No Mike....this time it will be different. I don't know why but it will really work. Just DON'T agitate those people and don't for god's sake say anything. Tell one of the mods that hell I don't know....it could be another few months because things are going really well. And Mike....go put your foil hat on...you know we talked about this....

I’m guessing names have been changed to protect the innocent?

You have a keen grasp of the conspirator's mind :tickled_pink:

Halloween. That is when it will be released.
I'm currently doing on last hooray run through with A16, just to enjoy it's glory (or lack thereof) one last time.....

Hey guys I'm taking a week vacation towards the end of October so please release A17 before them so I can spend all week playing with zombies

 

[wordwaster]

i decided to finally vote in one of these. i went with oct 15. not because i believe it will release by then, but rather because it only had 3 votes and i didn't want it to feel left out.

 

[SittingDuck]

I don´t vote this time... I vote in the next one ^^

 

[NBornkilla]

I don´t vote this time... I vote in the next one ^^

[MasterofZombies]

I don´t vote this time... I vote in the next one ^^

now after so long time with delays i think the same... i have vote but the next i won´t ... i vote again after that what comes next... i think it is in in the year 2020 :crushed: :crushed:

I do agree to an extent they are stringing us along with this alpha and it just keeps going from month to month with no real news. Alpha 17 was a good hype but now its been 3 months since we first expected it to release, and now where almost mid sept and were still waiting for it.

The fact is that predicting a release date with the things that TFP are doing ISN'T easy, and every time they do, and something LEGITIMATELY pushes it back, people pull this crap. If you know anything about coding and development and you STILL make statements like [one that was deleted], then this forum is better off without you. All that's happened is that TFP haven't done things the way you think they should have.

Doubt all you want. Feel free to continue to wallow in your negativity and all the good it does... Doesn't change a blasted thing, and serves only to let you slog more vitriol on top of a situation that ISN'T GOING TO BE ALTERED by whinging and insulting people.

I know. I know. I shouldn't feed the trolls, but JEEBAS, this kind of asinine bull♥♥♥♥ just REALLY gets under my skin.

moderator note: "you" in this post is directed at a post that was deleted.

I felt a similar way with old school Rust before they wiped the slate with it. I think the game is decent as is with much needed TLC that I've been anticipating for in A17. Been on the TFP train since KICKSTARTER, this is nothing new for the pimps, lmfao. I often remind myself to have 0 expectations when it comes to this studio; yet the bitter disappointment always seems to set in.

 

[PayKoHan]

that's just embarrassing...

People think their cryquitting is going to make any difference to the game.

If you took out all of the whiners, all the cryquitters and the wewantitnow’ers, this thread would be about half it’s size.

While I agree with you, I also believe there is a place for it. Lighting a fire under people's ass often times has a positive effect. Criticism, although positive is preferred, lead to action. Imagine if there was no pressure or if TFP wasn't held to a certain standard for releases? An argument could be made that these people are important. They are communicating their quite understandable displeasure with the product they have.
