These are our patch notes?!?

[Intenseheat]

Patch 14.5
No ETA
Focus: Outdoor content, with close attention to high levels

WHAT?!?! First you say that a bunch of stuff (weapon inits, etc.)will be fixed in 14.6 (emphasis on the SIX) now you throw us this curveball! Will this have bug fixes or just content? What stuff that you said would/might be in 14.6 will be in here? Why don't you just merge the two?!? We've been waiting for over a MONTH for our 14.x notes... we get THIS? I could understand if you released this maybe a week after 14.4 came out, letting us know that you were indeed working on this... but by now we should at least have "New camps in <zone.> The boss mobs will carry unique loot that can't even be found in team missions. The high level camps will contain aggressive monsters with high-powered nukes, but will give up to 3x the experience received from normal mission-style mobs." And continue the notes with bug fixes and new items. What we got is UNACCEPTABLE. I'm not normally a troll, but here I am trolling now. We'd better have something with something clarifying the difference between 14.5 and 14.6 in 12 hours or less, or I will be seriously pissed.

I am just waiting to see this guy get p1$$ed. I love watching people have hissy fits over things they can't control.

----------------
Outdoor content - we would like some more everywhere. what do you mean by high levels? +60? +150?

[Gholden]

Probably he means by outdoor content, to put a roaming mob like tarasque in all the playfields, that can zone and enter cities and....
wait a minute they cant do that!! (or can they? ;] ).

They are probably talking about more static quests or dungeons for over 100 and 150, maybe even a really hard dungeon for those 190 and 200

[Ulakai]

Every credit to them, this game needs high level content

At least ill have something to do while they work on bugs. This hopefully is a big gameplay fix (Being Ill be able to play and do something instead of the damn missions constantly) which to me is a Godsend.

I guess Mondays big announcement will cover this.

[Intenseheat]

Be gone, good-doers! This is my thread of anger!

[Baxie]

I think this is the best patch notes ever. How can anyone POSSIBLY be disappointed after this?

After waiting over a month for patch notes this is just pathetic. No ETA and a one-liner with no details.

And I thought odd numbers were reserved for patch fixes not content! Come on FC get yout bloody act together, you seem to have lost the plot completly.

Absolutely pathetic

[NoEvadesDiff]

lol, that is funny, nothing on the 14.6 patch then to tell us that there is going to be a 14.5! LOL way to go FC

[Beryllina]

Well. People were wondering what happened to 14.5 when they heard that 14.6 was initially gonna be the next patch. I guess this tells us where it went.

[Tomz]

hmm this is so funcom, well its a good thing they implent it since many requested it a long time, but as usually Fc will probably only create one spot with theese mobs , so it will be so popular and so camped, well i think u can figure out the rest

[________________Vazz]

Well it's not as much as I was expecting...
But i'm glad they are working on outdoor hunting. Maybe I can bring my Engi out of retirement.

[Lyricia]

I for one think its great news. Outdoor hunting is much more fun than endless missions in BS. And isnt it kind of silly to complain for two months that FC hasnt released any patch notes and then complain when they finally do? What are you trying to do, make them stop completely? ^_^

[Lilyflie]

being from a management background, i can fully understand this. Look at it like this. Designers are planning the next patch, they have part of a list done. We are told we'll have a update by the end of the week. They are not ready yet (and I for one don't want them to rush, i'd rather it be done well).

So look at the list you got...see what is possible right away, what's easy to do, and what will satisfy a big issue. "well, mob camps, for higher lvl's will, and that's on the list....tell ya what, lets start on that right now, and release it in a sub patch before 14.6, thus adding some content that is much needed, and letting us finish this before we release it, and Cz/Cosmik (can't remember which) can post that, and that gives them some info, and something to look forward to"

I mean really you guys, you asked for some news, and now there is some...would you rather have had none? this is good news for many high lvl players. Sure it's not a novel, but it is something, and it shows they are paying attention to the "lack of high lvl content" complaint.

What they did is perfectly acceptable IMHO. Sure I was hoping for more info too, but what i did get was 'something" which when i read the many posts the bottom line was "give us something". they did, now let them work on what they need to work on, and you'll get another "something". they are under no obligation to deliver to you by a certain date...just to deliver.

Oh and before you flame (which is going to happen i'm sure) i was kinda dissapointed as well, but at least they gave us something, which is all they said they would do.

[peterrjg]

Maybe they want to surprise us.
For the dumb among you, surprise doesn't always mean something good.

[__________Lauraeline]

Intenseheat, give a break to Cz, he's just releasing the infos he can grab as soon he got it

[____________Sandtrap]

I guess you could think of it this way, or give up.

14.6 is suppose to be the next 'big' patch; class fixes, boss fixes, hunting fixes, lost item tools for the arks, etc...

Yet the last set of hunting fixes didnt help in the least, and there's still no high level content... things people have been complaining about for a long damn time (people were complaining about high level content since 3 months after release).

So.. FC needs more time to figure out how to un-nerf the nt's and soldiers, and how to make engineers more powerfull without them becoming unbalanced, more time to fix the boss loot tables, more time for the reimbursement tools... So they split in into to 14.5 (hunting and high level) and 14.6 (ark tools and class balance)

Give them time, and while you're waiting download neocron beta 4 and never look back!!!!!
muahahahahhaha

Edit: oh and meanwhile, the boss loot tables will just get worse and worse....
