Let's just go off topic for a second. I haven't been around for a few months, but now I've read the last few FWMs.
My great mind came to a conclusion:
Soon™ = ∞™
Is there a Nobel Prize available anytime soon? How do I enter the contest?

Yes Soon is approaching infinity It is converging on it infact
the progress bar would be stuck for months at 95% with the comment "maybe(tm) soon(tm)". atleast there was no progress made in the past 3 months^^ balancing patch should allrdy be on live servers when you believe funcoms "promises". i personally expect it to be ingame before christmas IF we are lucky... but everyday my hope gets more loose. the prof docs are still not finished. and if they are finished in some weeks/months we still need a testing phase of maybe months to fix everything. and then it will need a re-rebalancing. + perk-re-rebalancing... etc etc etc... that all adds up to MAYBE christmas in fc´s work-speed. cant think of the engine... just getting more angry when i think about it and fc´s promises. i rather quit ao instead of waiting for vaporware (oh yeah, duke nukem will be released btw^^)... idling in a nrly dead game as 20th in bs queue for 2h is just annoying... soon we will need a merge with rk2 anyway.

if that were actually the case, then players would have every legitimate reason to say "seriously, what the blip are you guys doing!?" (if it hung at 95% for a long time)
the whole idea about a progress bar, isn't so much that you can tell how much time is left, but that you can gauge by milestones (goals) how much is done, and how much is left to do. of course it would hang at a certain percentage for a while, they are only a skeleton crew after all, trying to do the work of what should be 200 developers o.O

funcom would never do that... how often did they claim to be close to release for the engine for example? or how often they were at the point to say: its half way done YEARS ago?!?!

Saw this somewhere and thinks it fits just nicely for the engine.
Good things are made slowly and in pain.
can't argue here. only conclusion most people can draw is that the new engine isn't so much a project with concrete goals, but a "shoot with blindfolds on till we hit the target" type of thing. thats not fact really, but it is the perception a lot of players have these days. it would help their cause immensely by taking half an hour to put all the project milestones into a progress bar. of course, at this point, anything below 90% on that bar would infuriate the playerbase. yeah, like i say, can't argue with you there, they likely wouldn't do it at this point.

Now, one of the reasons we’ve spent the last month arguing about the debt ceiling is that half of the "teabag" Congress signed a vow to never raise taxes. Someone just handed them something and it wasn’t a gun, a crucifix or a fetus — so they signed it. Why? "Because we’re rugged individuals who love freedom. Now excuse us while we sign this document swearing to do as we’re told." --Bill Maher
