Legate of Mineta 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Captains; They'll make the announcement more formally in the Update, but the Team agreed that it would be alright to let everyone here know immediately. The final tally was 6 to 1, with three major issues, in order: 1) Meta-Game Data 2) Campaign/Alliance Missions QA/Review 3) Production Overhaul All three will be targeted for the coming Release in mid April, at which point the Team will hold another vote. We'll keep you posted in this week's Update, as always. Sorry for the bad news, but we wanted to let you all know as soon as possible, just in case any of you were making weekend plans.

Mignonette 11 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Aah, that's too bad! But I think everyone here would rather wait for a more polished product than something rushed out and full of bugs. Hopefully the Belle bingo board won't run out of Belles when the beta is released... then it's up to BCS to chose them, or else the voting will be all over the place with shots in the dark.

Ninjapacman 29 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Trust me, with how many remain on the bingo board, and how many shots in reasonable light we plan to take, we're not running out of interviews before release. Thanks for letting us know, Legate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legate of Mineta 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Mignonette; We haven't thought of keeping the interviews going post launch, although it might be fun. I guess we'd have to see what the fans say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PizzaRocket 1 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 I agree with what has been said so far: don't feel rushed to deliver. Take the time you need to deliver a nice, shiny polished product And if the writers are willing to keep up the interviews I'll be more than happy to read them!

MisterBottle 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 Like everybody else said, take your time with the game. I'd like to play the finished version more than a version that is full of bugs etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Metis 1,102 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 Speaking of that, did the VB Team test that the Beta client can start without a dirty cache? Seeing as how VB hasn't been released before in any capacity most people kind of won't have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Procyon 6 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 It's understandable since you guys want the best foot forward for the beta. Are you guys going to allow people with some media traction (like Gaijin Goombah...if he gets a beta copy of the game) to talk about the product in beta form? That could be a big factor on why the devs want to have the game polished a bit more for beta . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninjapacman 29 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 That is a good question. Will there be an NDA, or will anyone be able to talk about the BETA? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
