Servers down for anyone else?

Smedley said "shit ton" on the stage of SOE Live. That was p cool.

I wish I could hear him over the terrible audio.

fire the imbecile sound guys please

They had sound problems at E3 too. Audio r hard.

When's the release?

November 20th.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;38099486]November 20th.[/QUOTE] Wow. I hope they have enough time to sort out all the bugs, I hear only closed beta is running around and they've already planning a release.

1 month, they are fucking nuts.

Hm, i always heard the end of December was their release date.

I get the feeling some higher up went "no fuck you, this is your release date, you've waited too long"

[QUOTE=kenji;38099608]I get the feeling some higher up went "no fuck you, this is your release date, you've waited too long"[/QUOTE] That is what I was thinking. The dev team so far has been rather level headed about the whole thing, and I was quite pleasantly surprised. But we got to remember that it is SOE backing the entire venture, and they want to see some profit sooner rather than later. It must not have been a cheep game to make.

Holiday rush, gotta steal the money people are saving for Xmas.

Damn man... I'm worried now. They have to pull out some serious magic to make the start a success. If they give people a bad impression, then well, it will be very bad for them. Also, Hitman releases on the same day. God damn it. Won't play on release for the first few days.

I hope the players can convince the devs/publisher to push back the release date.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38099631] It must not have been a cheep game to make.[/QUOTE] I've been thinking about this as well. Making an engine like Forgelight must have taken a lot of resources, not to mention constant development. They have people pushing hotfixes on early Sunday mornings even. I wonder how much money they have to get to keep going at this pace.

While it will be 'launched' in november im sure it will just be open beta to the devs.

[QUOTE=MadBomber;38099706]While it will be 'launched' in november im sure it will just be open beta to the devs.[/QUOTE] But even otherwise good games that flop at launch very rarely recover. Look at Red Orchestra 2 or Age of Conan. Both of those games desperately needed more beta time before they pushed the release.

Logging in right now.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;38099795]Ah, Red Orchestra 2. All I can hope is my $40 went towards Killing Floor 2.[/QUOTE] They patched Red Orchestra 2, a lot, you really notice it if you have played it on release. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Also: I had some trouble yesterday, some guy seemed to teleport around... I couldn't even fucking hit him. Either he was hacking or he was just lagging so fucking badly.

So... new continent, untested and new weapons/certs, balancing and meta game all in a month? Hm...

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38099809]They patched Red Orchestra 2, a lot, you really notice it if you have played it on release.[/QUOTE] I'm sure they have. But my point is that RO2 flopped, and has remained flopped. Fixed or not. I don't want PS2 to suffer that same fate.

I really want to see some new content, there isn't much in this that wasn't in PS1, and its missing a hell of a lot of weapons and vehicles.
