Time Marches on as so should PS2

[VaderShake]

I know everyone is asking about the layoffs and optimization focus but seriously lets keep PS2 moving forward shall we...

Small patch today- Notes anyone?

3 Day weekend- Double XP? Station Cash Sale? Anything SOE?

Where is the NC hat for Labor Day???

Devs, interaction has slowed since SOE - Any update on how optimization is progressing? Faction specific buggies? What about that hummer type vehicle?

Any positive news to share....anyone? :D

I played skyrim today for about 2hrs, with no baby interruptions it was so relaxing. Also my cat finally came back home after going missing for a day :D. This is about the only good news that I have sorry. :(

[Blynd]

Weather is good BBQ is planned and all 7 kids are home for the weekend. That's all my news so far :)

[DarkBalths]

I went to play some late night VS alt, but to my dismay, I found a 314MB patch to download. My internet is pretty bad, so it took about half an hour to download. I spent that half an hour looking around everywhere to find out "What the heck am I downloading?!" but no one knows :(

[Crator]

^ No one knows yet. Same thing happened to me last night. I actually started playing around 6PM CST last night and there was no patch. Then I had to log out and logged back in some hours later for some reason and the patch started downloading. So, there was no server downtime for this patch.

everyone is on break until September, sucks but we're almost through now :p
Expect an announcement for the upcoming machinina event soon, probably tonight.

[Phantomdestiny]

Didn't they say that a big announcement was coming tonight on FNO ?

[Maidere]

Didn't they say that a big announcement was coming tonight on FNO ?

Hats and guns probably.

[AThreatToYou]

Well, there was this terrorist attack, and literally no one seems to know.

[Wahooo]

I was hoping for a big SC sale... then hear layoffs and think (selfishly) welp there goes any chance of a sale.

The silence is bothersome though.

[Babyfark McGeez]

[Meanspirited Tinfoilhat] Well they put out their strawman of "focusing on optimization", so the people left after the layoffs can now take their sweet time. [/Meanspirited Tinfoilhat]

;)

[EVILPIG]

Make us fight on the hills in the early days?

[AuntLou]

Need Heroic Boost badly!

I think all player studio items are back to sale, maybe this explains the 300 mb patch, I don´t know.
Now we don´t have only 2 in each category to buy, we have like 20!

[JohnnyRicardo]

I seriously need to know what that 314 mb patch was all about. WHAT DID YOU DO SOE?

I seriously need to know what that 314 mb patch was all about. WHAT DID YOU DO SOE?

It would be nice to know why I had to use my valuable download and limited internet usage. They're lucky it's under the 700 mark otherwise I'd be demanding answers. As it stands I'm more curious.

[Adenn]

My fps has increased since the latest patch so may have been that.

That aside, reason why so little "good" updates since SOE live I suspect is because most devs are on vacation.

[Larington]

All I know is what Clegg said on FNO last night, he mentioned some fixes that relate to the EU ProSiebien retail release and I think something about some initial removing of unnecessary files but that they won't be able to know more until Monday probably.

Personally I'm concerned that elements of an older version of the build have leaked in somehow, we're suddenly getting alerts during prime time again which frankly is killing off my passion for playing again (In the sense that alerts can completely disrupt player decided goals & triggers large scale fourth empiring.) and several people in outfit have been having this weird thing where you can put half a clip into someone who then spins around and gets you in one brief burst, like the servers are struggling to handle data packets evenly/fairly due to, maybe proximity to server or ping or some other thing. :-(

[Hamma]

How often do you guys expect the dev team to report status :lol:

It's like if they are quiet for a week the game is cancelled.

Also as Larington said Clegg explained at least an idea of what the patch is. SOE is not responsible for peoples bandwidth caps.

[Babyfark McGeez]

Well, when a patch comes out it is not unreasonable to expect, uh, patch-notes. Personally i thought that's what the little window in the launcher is for. "Latest News" and all.

[Taramafor]

SOE is not responsible for peoples bandwidth caps.

If a company adds something to an online game which MUST be put on before launching the game, then I say they're responsible. At least when it comes to that game. To pretend otherwise is to turn your back on people with caps and is therefor bad business (hence why online games don't take 15+ gig like some single player ones).

And I don't think it's asking too much to be in the know about what uses a limited resource. Wouldn't you want to know who ate your snack when you wasn't looking?
