I somehow lost track its current release date. In my personal notes it's still April 25th, but I somehow remember that it has been delayed further?
There will be a 'significant' update by the end of next week, but it is still only in beta. With all the reported bugs in beta, I do not expect the final release for some time. I'm happy for that if it means it's relatively bug free on release!!
Larain & Bug-Free don't belong in the same sentence. Just read Swen's blog were he talks about the developers problems with past, and recent games.
I'm going to say I don't see this game being finished till the end of this year.
You must have a bunch of free time to always complain about Bethesda Mr. Parrot.Less bugs = more fun. Will it be released now or during xmas time, couldn't care less.
I don't expect a bug free release, but I do expect no time wasting on fixing rare bugs almost noone notices and fix gamestopper critical stuff instead oftake the money, leave it unpatched and invest in MMOleaving it to modders.
I agree but time will tell as they say. Wasn't Dragon Commander also funded with kickstarter? I could be wrong, but I remember the game had a bunch of bugs.But, I assume that D:OS will be different, I mean, now they have full control of any aspect of the game (except distribution, I guess).
No, They offered Dragon Commander as a reward for the $80 Tier on D:OS KS by request of the fans, but DC was entirely a different project and wasn't on KS.I agree but time will tell as they. Wasn't Dragon Commander also funded with kickstarter? I could be wrong, but I remember the game had a bunch of bugs.
Yes I remember that Swen wrote he used to manually patch savegames (I mean himself) in Divine Divinity as customer support…

Bethesda said:As part of our continuing effort to combat gold spammers, botters and exploiters, we recently banned a number of accounts. After several players appealed, we were able to investigate the matter further and discovered some legitimate accounts got caught up in the sweep. We unbanned accounts last night, and have email responses going out for those affected from our support group. It is never our intention for legitimate players to be harmed as we work to keep your game free of cheaters, and we sincerely apologize for the mistake.
Erm…
I believe Coach is doing a great job with news, and I admit I write about some things perhaps too many times. The reason we didn't see this, let's say scandal although it could be just a good old human error, in news is probably because it's impossible to track every bit of news on everything.
You won't see a fix if they wont see a return in $. Besides, if you knew what the real TES team was working on you might forgive them for not working on bug fixes.Oh and I'm not playing ESO. And don't plan to, really. ESO is not what I want. I want an official TES5 patch that at least fixes two mainquest gamestopper bugs. I'm not the only player who got it, there are many reports out there, hell even my sister in law had them kicking in. I'm not talking about a rare crash on an ancient machine that's easily fixed by game restart if the game is not patched.
And I want that patch for years now.
Until that, lemme repeat official, patch arrives, you can't expect me to say there is absolutely nothing wrong with Bethesda. Do you praise a car if the motor farts every few miles so you have to visit local car "quack doctors"? No, you say that the car sux.
But is Larian Joewood? The track record kinda says yes? If you recall in Divine Divinity their publisher wanted another environment tileset to show in screenshots which is where you get that extremely rushed and un-fun final section with the new skills.Back to the topic, I won't play beta of D:OS.
Dunno if I can, maybe I can't. I am KS backer and I want a final game. Doesn't matter to me if it'll be released today, in a few weeks or in a few months. I'm not JoWood to force selling of G3 beta.
I don't expect no bug in Original Sin, it's impossible to notice and weed out everything prior to the release. If a sidequest can't be finished, if I didn't receive XP or cash for some small fetch quest, I really won't object. But I do expect no bugs at least with main quest(s).
Mr. Parrot!
I take it you're playing TESO which is why you choose not to report the massive amounts of bad feedback or major bugs that are getting people permanently banned?
Biased information isn't helping the site or its users, just your own ego, Mr. Potato.
Everything Joxer has been saying is perfectly valid and even useful to people who are considering a purchase, unlike only reporting the "good" things and snapping at people with a conflicting, perhaps unbiased, view.
One almost has to wonder if you're working for Bethesda marketing department. How about a little journalistic integrity?
Let's take a look at some of the real TESO news that you choose not to report.
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/82921/information-on-recent-account-bans
Isn't information like this helpful to readers of the site looking at buying this game? If it wasn't for readers like Joxer and myself telling it like it is pretty soon people will think this site is taking bribes and ignore it altogether.
Report the FULL news please and don't stand against free speech by calling people with valid opinions parrots!
PS. Hold off on playing original sin as long as you can and then a bit longer for at least one more patch.
All valid points sir James.
Except I didn't see joxer post any of the things you did. All I saw was his usually drivel that he posts in every thread and is off topic more often than not. I don't find joxers info useful at all as it's most often very general and snide. It's meant to disparage the company not help others.
I for one would support any moderator that was willing to crack down on his spamming almost every thread with his Bethesda, bioware,bugs,grinding, blah,blah,blah. It would make my expierence here much more enjoyable.
I'm not say everything should be positive all the time and what you posted above seems valid ( as I haven't played ESO) the spamming and generalizations of joxer do not.
Sorry for the off topic.
Yes, well, erm… I suppose I'm really talking about my own recent negative posts about ESO and just lumped Joxer in the same catagory as they're anti-bethesda and somehow over-reacted to the parrot comment and took it all personally.
We can't draw nice things = indie "retro", "roguelike", "whatevertohidethefact" game
We can't code an AI = MMO
We can't make a decent story = MMO or SP grinder
We can do all of those stuff?
Epic singleplayer RPG.
I wish this game here ends like Amalur.
Mr. Parrot!
It's out and its a mess.(Alpha impressions)

If I'm being completely transparent, I'm annoyed that ESO exists at all as I'd really love to see a co-op skyrim, or even a co-op OpenMW (if anyone's listening!), but not another bloody grind-fest MMORPG. I've played so many and none of them entertain me for very long and they all seem to be played mostly singleplayer with a few real multiplayer parts like instances and PVP.
I feel like Bethesda will be saying "Ok, should we add multiplayer to the next TES game or should we force all the people who want a multiplayer TES game to play the subscription based MMO?"
Dark Souls style is a great direction for MMORPGS to move in because you still have those multiplayer parts, but then your singleplayer parts can be played with 0 ping and you can actually have good gameplay and not laggy MMO "rotation" style gameplay.
For some reason Dark Souls 2 can have thousands of players, dedicated servers and not try to milk you with a subscription fee AND item mall AND retail game price, like ESO does… Also, Guildwars2?
On topic, I really want a game like Divinity:OS! Co-op RPG with sandbox qualities. I'm harsh on it because Its one of my most wanted games and I want it to be the best it can.
