Backer Beta: Coming August 18th
Marceror replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
I've heard it's around 1.5TB. Of course, I'm the person who said that, who I heard it from, so it's very likely not correct. Wow, 1.5TB? Must be all the beetle animations. Well, as beetle animations go, they are pretty epic! Don't think that kind of thing comes without a price! -

Proof or it didn't happen.

LMAO! We've got some eloquent communication going on here today! Please calm down, you're hysterical. Indubitably. Absolutely, 100% grade A hysterical. This of course assumes a completely new definition of that word is in use, but I'm just giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one.

Maybe should have headed your own pessimism from your previous post and waited for tomorrow? Except, I haven't been pessimistic. And if the beta demo comes out tomorrow, I'll wait until tomorrow. If it comes out the day after that, I'll wait until the day after that. Why are you implying otherwise? You must be responding to another poster, but have mistakenly addressed me. I bear no resemblance to the person you are apparently talking to.

Thanks for the update Brandon! Much appreciated! -
*eye roll* So you don't prefer the communication? You would rather be left wondering? No. The eye roll was to you giving a bunch of strangers an "I told you so". Bah! It wasn't an "I told you so". It was more of a kumbaya isn't this better response. Man, a lot of people around here are coming from a place of negativity. What's up with that?

Well, the quote function is your friend, so that original response is forever memorialized. But honestly, if 30 seconds is enough time for someone post something, receive an angry response, go in and revise their post only to claim never to have posted what the angry response is addressing... AND this sort of thing is happening with enough regularity for it to actually be a problem, well, that's what I call plain bizarre.

Even a 30 - 60 second grace period would be nice to see. I can't imagine that would give people a lot of time to post something, look at a reply, and then modify their post in the way you suggest. I've seen plenty of websites offer at least a shorter window. Can't say I've ever seen a forum that wasn't able to offer any window for this. But hey, if there's a valid reason I'll certainly cope with it as is.

See guys, isn't better when we have some communication (commented mainly directed to the folks who have been giving me a hard time about asking for an update)? It allows a lot of people to better plan their schedules.

Really...? 1, 2, 3... GET EM!!! Okay, that time I did let myself get a little carried away. I own that. -

Test, schmest! I just want to play the damn thing. To hell with providing useful feedback to Obsidian! At least, initially. -
Thanks Tigranes. That's much appreciated. Again, I fully acknowledge that this isn't any sort of urgent request. It's just that the current configuration and my inner OCD kitty are very much at odds here!

Judging by server performance, that's exactly what WAY TOO MANY people are doing!! -

I don't think that word means what you think it means.You are ranting about perceived offenses that go against your set of expectations regarding an update announcement for an announcement that was scheduled to go out today. Anyways, let's not get into a tiff on semantics. I guess I can understand why you wouldn't want to get into semantics, because you continue to misapply the meaning of words. I have neither ranted nor have I thrown a tantrum. Expressing an opinion, even one that some may not like, in a respectful and composed manner, as I have, is not ranting or throwing a tantrum. I know that I'm not alone in wishing for a little communication. Why does this offend you so? In hindsight, your postings came across to me as as more aggressive than what it actually was. Though my original entitlement statement wasn't specifically directed at you. Maybe it was the EA reference... My bad. It takes a big man to admit that. You have my respect for doing so. And even just the vague tweet from Adam, frankly, is actually pretty reassuring. -

Yes, indeed it is. As is regular and timely communication. No reason to laud one virtue while ignoring another, equally relevant one. -

Being that I've worked in IT/Customer Service roles for around 20 years, I'm very sensitive to the level of customer communication I strive to provide in my job. I can get a little testy when I see other companies fall short of my high, but very realistic bar. And once again, I maintain that a single sentence update is not a lot to ask for. Oooh, I'm so entitled! -

Well, maybe. But I do distinctly recall during the Kickstarter a lot of touting from OE that the crowd funding model would free them up to communicate freely with the backers, who are effectively the publishers of the game. Call me crazy, but I don't think this a quick, single sentence forum post is too much to ask for.

In fairness, I think it's somewhere south of 70k people that this will happen to, but otherwise, yes. You may be right.
