Still laughing at their Gamescom build being 2.4

How broken must 2.5 be then? All whispers on the grapevine have been that's what they've been crunching for the last 2 months. Big push from above that 2.5 -has- to be at Gamescom.

And lol... there's 2.4. Oh! They have the key bindings for 2.5 though (lol at that). We -may- get to show it. If it actually compiles lol

They are using the live servers. Like say that they can get 2.5 out ready to come out, they need to patch the servers into the new version. And then if something fucks up in the process they have absolutely no way to remain streaming till they roll back or re-patch the server. They might really really want to put 2.5 out but its too late, you cant take that sort of risk right now but who knows how CIG thinks.

So what you're saying is that CIG will definitely patch to 2.5 some time tomorrow evening.

To be honest, it feels like they really have to stretch the content out to get a full five days of streaming out of it. I'm guessing that in the next few days they'll simply hand it over to the public to play and have the Twitch guys "coach" them and answer questions.
It's great to see the booth's popularity (even for a non-public day), I think that it's great exposure to new backers and a good introduction to the game, and it's always nice to see the streamers and the community team collaborate and enjoy themselves doing it. But it's not a must-see for old backers like myself. Then again, I don't think it was ever supposed to be.
Hyped for Friday, though. If we're getting what the German magazines have been lately it's going to be an awesome presentation.

Okay I mean today wasn't great, but Friday...

Now realize that those 300 people have been working in a constant crunch mode for nearly a year and imagine just how much CR has to gently caress up as a project manager in order to show this little progress.

Were those not fine days, when we drank of clear honey, and spoke in calm tones of our love for the stuff?
Everything is in a constant state of refactoring because all the existing systems were designed without a roadmap ("that would be unfair to developers") so any changes to game logic have unpredictable results.
