#36300035252 08/28/2006 19:37:14 Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Although Update 46 has been unfortunately delayed yet again, we bring you in its stead this wonderful thread, in which you can discuss what a nitwit Rarebit is for BREAKING THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD while trying to fix one last annoying White Hallway bug, thus providing us all with a small means of filling the yawning hole in all our lives the next two days of delay will bring.

Excelsior!

I don't know whether to hug you...or slap you...

   To be perfectly honest: thank god.  With a hurricane potentially coming my way, I probably wouldn't have had much time with the patch if it came on the previous date.  Then again, depending on the damage that may occur if it does hit, I might not be able to patch on the current date either. ^^;;

Someone grab his left leg! I've got his right!

Break out the slapping rods and rulers!

NOOO RAREBIT!!! how could you do this to us!!! /cry

 I hope that when it comes out its everything and more SMILEY

Good work Rarebit.. I just wish you would let us know earlier in the day so were not sitting in game waiting for the server to shut down so we can post on the forums about how awesome the update is going to be and then go into the game and pwn the new content.

 Try to get it out for tommorow.

Is this a Joke, are you *CENSORED* kidding me?

This is one of the goddamn reasons get ticked off and just back out of the game because of the lack of experience and lack of Respect towards the player community, i mean come on, its been delayed twice now, errors, bugs or not, either get it right or don't get people excited for then just to say "omg, its a bug, we get it next time!".

#36300035273 08/28/2006 20:01:47 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Rarebit, the world is supposed to end when a wolf eats it, not when a piece of broiled cheese on toast does something to a white hall way!!!

Dude, chill. Technically it wasnt his fault. He applied the fix and it caused such and such problems. Get a beer, or something.

nvm.....that's rofl. Welcome to MMORPGs. Rarebits a real dev with a real pair who tells it like it is. You won't find that in any other MMORPG to the extent you will here. And for that...he gets mad /dap from me.
#36300035278 08/28/2006 20:11:42 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31

waitaminute waitaminute....you broke the world?

and although I do agree with Anubias that this is frustrating to most of us, it's better to know you guys aren't halfassing the thing and just throwing it to us like a piece of meat to a pack of  junkyard dogs

#36300035279 08/28/2006 20:12:24 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Well, I can't say I didn't see this coming... -_-
#36300035280 08/28/2006 20:12:25 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
These delays are actually working out really well for me given my schedule lately.

Thank you for breaking the world, Rarebit!  Seriously, I appreciate it.  SMILEY
#36300035281 08/28/2006 20:12:35 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Hey man you need to stop hating, Rare is a kick *CENSORED* dev....even though he did break the WHOLE WORLD...but no seriously its fine rare there was a couple things i wanted to do in game first anyway. SMILEY
#36300035282 08/28/2006 20:12:36 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31

Im not saying that it's not his fault, im just saying, Basically SOE is lazy, want an example, not even 15 mins before RareBit post Someone asks Raijinn if it was going through and he basically assures them that yes it is.

Lack of communication for the loss, I mean come on, that is a bit weak and things like this are why players quit the game or not even, I think you guys need to stop getting people overseas to code you your game and take Responsiblity for the Game, Thank You.

#36300035288 08/28/2006 20:15:20 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
This is very frustrating to most of us, especially us vets.  We were looking very forward to this.   We keep seeing it coming then you guys snatch it away.  Do us a favor do not tell us the patch is coming till you sure it is ready.  As of right now I am not playing MXO until I see this patch implemented.
#36300035289 08/28/2006 20:15:28 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Alright, would it be TOO much to ask for to see the freakin cinematic?!

Gah... It's streamed on the net, so please give us that!

Not saying SOE is perfect here but it could have happened just as Rajin was saying that everything was go for launch. And still, take a breather. Your starting to get insulting here with the comments that they had over seas programers work on this game... if only we had!

Do a bit of research buddy, you will find out that the game was orginaly built and owned by Monolith, and when they sold the game to SOE, they fired 95% of the team that worked on MXO because the code and practices were so F***ed up that it wasnt cute.

#36300035306 08/28/2006 20:27:07 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Can we at least get the RP item vendors? Weren't the hallways partitioned from the rest of the patch at one point?

#36300035310 08/28/2006 20:29:55 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Well... Ok. That sucks. I was hoping I'd be able to experience all the goods tomorrow right before the hurricane came (And potentially/theorically knocking out power for a week) so that at least I had that glimpse and a right to say 'Behold, I am one of the first American settlers... I mean people to go to the Zion Co--' Pfft. What's the use.
#36300035312 08/28/2006 20:31:33 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
Hey Rarebit, learn2fix bugs.

Raijinn isn't exactly up to date with the development. He's not even in the same state as the developers of MxO. He's on the complete opposite end of the US from where the MxO studios are actually.  Perhaps he didn't know about the delay yet since they hadn't called him yet?

That is, if the picket sign prop item isn't delayed the day of the patch.

Oof. Sorry, Rarebit. You opened yourself up for that one.

No hard feelings, we all make mistakes; This is why there are erasers on pencils.

Yep, yep, like Walrus said before, the mission release schedule is sticking to the original plan, so yeah, if we're up and running Thursday you'll have two new missions instead of just one.

I'am trying to hold in my anger for I really do feel like reaching thru my computer and slapping people... however there is just one thing that would make me very happy indeed... stop delaying it the night before it comes out.  This is getting very stupid.

I'm less than surprised, but at least it broke a test world, and not the live client. Ahem.
#36300035395 08/28/2006 22:39:37 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
In the future, please make all storyline updates seperate.  I can always wait longer for new features, but story and cinematics.  All I'm saying is maybe they could have still been released so we could keep things rollin. (if they were a seperate update)
#36300035410 08/28/2006 23:30:43 Re:Update 46 Announcement - New Release Date - Thursday, August 31
I'm neither angry, surprised or upset. But I am curious. The first delay was due to the /ccr (/bug) system being broken. This one, due to a white hallway glitch fix breaking the world (error in compiling the world I guess - perhaps to do with trying to fix doors again, huh?). Now the confusion here is that we can guess that the /ccr error was fixed as that wasn't then cited as a problem this time. So why then does it feel like there is an apparent lack of "back up" patches? As an example, say patch 46B fixed the /ccr system, Rare played with that to try and fix the hallways and thought he did (making patch 46C), what happened to 46B?

Don't you guys keep backups? Or didn't you manage to fix the /ccr system either? O_o;
