lightblade75 45 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I hope the final release will be as bug free as possible. Gametesters from German Magazines Gamestar and PCGames will not tolerate too much bugs or plotstoppers. And they will not tolerate a bad translation / localization into German. This will result in a low rating. (Just take a look at the Rating of Wasteland 2 -which is quite a good game but had a staggering start in Germany). I guess (I am sure) a rating below 80% will keep off a lot of potential gamers wo liked to play BG and IWD and so on. Germany is maybe the biggest market after US and UK (and all other countries with English as a first language). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lightblade75 45 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 By the way: Any news regarding a new BB? I thought this would be today... but maybe we will get an update by the end of THIS week? Link to post Share on other sites

Currently (as of this post) it's only 8 AM here on the west coast, so the Obs guys are probably just starting to file into work. Give it a couple more hours. Link to post Share on other sites

Elerond 2,480 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Would be great to have some news on this! I can promise with very high probability that update will be released before March 27th of this year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Sensuki 9,773 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Usually we get a heads up about a patch, BAdler hasn't said anything yet though. Link to post Share on other sites
Gairnulf 667 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 And the patch is usually one week later than the expected date. A Custom Editor for Deadfire's Data: Link to post Share on other sites
drunetovich 77 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Next week perhaps, final backer build, hope interrupts will be fixed there Link to post Share on other sites
Falkon Swiftblade 246 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) At this point I'm pretty sure the final build has to go to gold master in about 2-3 weeks max. I think it would be counter productive to release a bb a week before they ship, so I suspect it'll be out maybe today or next week early. Actually, I forgot I think they elected to not ship the disks in time, so it could go out maybe a week prior. Usually the press gets it in a couple weeks prior to review it, and sometimes they don't get it early enough so reviews don't come out in time. From everything I've heard it sounds like they'll need at least a week to play it for review. Edited February 26, 2015 by Falkon Swiftblade Link to post Share on other sites

From everything I've heard it sounds like they'll need at least a week to play it for review. I think there will be also a day one patch, so it could be quite productive to release a bb one week or ten days before shipment. Day one patch is most important before game testing magazines will start their game testing on PoE to have as less bugs as possible to get a "best possible rating" for PoE.

Sensuki 9,773 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Doesn't look like it will be this week anyway, probably gonna get a "sorry next week reply" later today I suppose?I may be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites
Labadal 1,696 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) There's no need to apologize for anything, though. They said they'd try to push another update but nothing was ever confirmed. I am happy if they can push the update as much as possible.

Quadrone 335 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 There's no need to apologize for anything, though. Well, that's fine if you don't want an apology. But I want my apology RIGHT NOW!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I may be wrong though. You aren't wrong. Sorry next week reply. We are holding off because some changes we made to the base game (streaming of VO) ended up causing serious problems in the Backer Beta. We are fixing them (and it might be good for tomorrow), but I wouldn't hold my breath. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Sensuki 9,773 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) No problemo. I still have some v435 testing to do anyway. Edited February 26, 2015 by Sensuki Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Extennnsive Eternity Beta Tes-ting MODDD-ERRR GUYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Roarkkk 44 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Seriously, is Sensuki getting an in game statue or something for Beta Tester King supreme? 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Labadal 1,696 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Seriously, is Sensuki getting an in game statue or something for Beta Tester King supreme? I saved him from the vampires in BG2. That's a good enough reward. Link to post Share on other sites
Sensuki 9,773 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) That's Sansuki. I've still got a bunch of miscellaneous things to investigate from my v435 notepad - such as extra weapon sets sometimes not saving, and a few other things.

Falkon Swiftblade 246 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 There should certainly be an award cause I bet he's turned in more bug reports than some internal guys haha! Maybe there'll be an optional boss in a dungeon that's a giant bug named after him or something. Link to post Share on other sites
Night Stalker 386 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'd say he should either have an in-game NPC named after him, some kind of memorial, or at the very least a special mention in the credits. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
archangel979 763 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Maybe hire Sensuki as head of their QA department? And we would all be calmed by knowing PoE 2 will be best IE successor ever :D Link to post Share on other sites

Garm 19 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Maybe they could add a statue or something like that in the graveyard where all the gravestones with Backer's texts are. Sensuki's efforts during the Beta period should be acknowledged in-game. Edited February 27, 2015 by Garm Link to post Share on other sites
