That's some clever editing, Trolland. You can't gaslight all of us!

And I took a screenshot of this post, too, so don't think you can scrub this to match the world you've edited.

 
With this extended delay I hope, just hope, that it isn't a steaming pile of bugs when it does finally come. When I see Madmole play there are still way too many "oh, that isn't working yet" moments. To go forward a lot of steps backwards have been taken with playability, and they need to be reclaimed pronto. It needs to be very close to A16 in that regard, or all hell will break loose. It probably will anyway, who am I kidding. Change is pain.

Count on as many bugs in A17E as were in A16E. It takes being released as an E to find a lot of the bugs as people with differing setups and styles play it. Try as they may an in house team is NOT going to release a bug free E version. Not even close. Right now they are putting systems in place, that is, making sure they work at all. Yes some major game stopping bugs will be found and fixed but that's about all.

 
Why cant they release an experimental build, cuz no one can find bugs better than the community..

No im not saying this cuz i want 2 play it already jeez..

Stop being a manchild! Oh wait..

Seriously though, even the "final release" will not really be the final release and will have to go through a lot of testing and bug fixing and that's already a release after fixing many other bugs prior to that release, that's for sure, but if you watched some of the latest videos, you could notice one thing that madmole mentioned. It's not much in the whole scale of the game, but it's definitely a huge show stopper that will take them quite some time to deal with, no matter how many times madmole said they are getting pretty close to release of the Alpha 17 experimental.

It's about perks or skills. At the time of making that video, probably 80% or maybe more was still unfinished and didn't work, that means they must be added to the game first, then they have to test them internally to see whether they work as intended or not and only then they can start the balancing procedure (because the perks must be present and working in order to proceed with the balancing part of the task) and then they will have to test them internally to see if the balancing feels right.

If they didn't have anything else to do, this alone would probably take them couple of months to finish if they didn't want to rush things and even then they couldn't really guarantee that there are no bugs, so that would be the time for community to step in and test it.

 
is it ready yet?

I think yes, just they need time to test, fix, test again, fix again, then test again, fix again until it is ready to launch for experimental version and don't ask how much time it take to do that phase. It will be as quoted by Roland before 15 months from today.

 
Yeah, pretty clear that we should never believe TFP about when they release videos or anything about probable release periods.

 
I wonder how many people have attempted to necro that thread only to find it has been closed?
*Guilty*

I think it was still open when they were already working on Alpha 17, not sure when exactly it was closed, but I guess that they had some good reasons to close it before releasing Alpha 17. People probably brought this topic back couple of times in one way or another while we wait for real Alpha 17, I know I did that maybe twice, so that's probably why they closed it and for that reason, poor Alpha 17 with all its bugs mentioned in that thread will never get fixed. RIP.
