Been away for a few days and taken a while to read through all this. So... A17 thread with pretty much no information about A17. I am hopeful with the new staff but an AI programmer seems absent in the list. Mind you, more programmers can slow things down. What is the quote again - something like a task that takes one programmer one month will take two programmers two months. However, I think these task can be compartmentalized to not interfere with others so it is probably not as bad as that. Anyway, I'd love to hear about what they are targeting in this release, and also any dates. Hopefully WATER, AI and <6 MONTHS.

 
I am not liking this new way as well. No real a17 info so far in the thread. It has the feel that the a16 one did when so many got tired of waiting. Plus the whole arguments between those wanting more hardcore added to vanilla and those that don't want that direction and would rather see that modded in to the game.

I too am waiting to see how Madmole plans to handle the dev diary this time around. If I am correct in my guesses there will probably be pages and pages of joking, discussing, and noise from the community and then Madmole will post something and the thread will snap back to topic for awhile. If so then what I will do is post links to those pages of the diary in the OP so that people can jump right to the on-topic portions with greater ease. I will also be more strict on what stays in the thread in those sections where Madmole is interacting and showing off A17 stuff so that there are no distractions.

So far there is nothing to link to....

I promise that when Madmole posts actual A17 stuff that I'll keep the thread to topic. Until then and after those moments its best to let the peeps unwind and talk about what they want and hope to be in the game and make fun of Gazz.

Lol. But I was hoping for updates about A17, and not expecting to find out so much about Roland's man-cave hobbies. :)

That's only a peek so far. Run while you still can or before someone offers you candy.

 
I am hoping for a tighter progression with updates this time. Concentrating on an area for improvement and getting it out for us to play asap. As epic as A16 was and is, it took way to long WAY to long to get out, then on top a week or so for refinement.
To many additions all at once just causes bug mayhem.

Looking forward to A17 even if it is just one or two things that been overhauled that be great.

I.e. Water and AI

lol in which century do you want the game released. TFP have stated many times they arent gonna do small updates. And A16 was worth the wait. As well it was not way to long. it could a been longer and have more stuff added would a been better

 
500 posts and not one about alpha 17

Yep. Exactly the problem with how MM has done it. We dont kow whats coming. Have nothing to look forward to. Because some things dont get in but relly would rather how they use to do it. Then this a17 everybody guess ad talk bout rubbish (rubbish as in stuff thats not related to a17 and stuff that mm hasnt posted thats gonna be in a17 etc)

 
yes we should have a official dev diary for dev's and moderators to post in and a thread for everyone else to comment on those things in. rather then one thread that's a jumble of everyone posting.
