[Rikard Blixt]

The patch is soon about to enter internal testing, both balance testing on it, and bug testing.

I know that you want EF to be like an expansion to CoH and I must say that telling people than they will get an update next week and than say nothing for servel weeks is truely in the spirit of relic. However this is the part of relic that most people don't like, I will urge you not to learn from relic when it comes to keeping promises.

[Jimbosmith]

I dont think iv read the bit about an upate will be coming next week. You have to remember the devs work on this mod during their free time. Patching takes alot time, first you have to read alot of threads on the forums, then you need to test to see if you can recreate the problems, after all that you can then start working on fixes, with debugging and such. Then you test again all this takes time.

I dont see promises being broken. I see good news

The patch is soon about to enter internal testing, both balance testing on it, and bug testing.

so i think the patch will Be done when its done

Like Jim said,unlike Relic we're not a company and certainly not get paid to do this so there shouldn't be any comparison nor misunderstanding of this fact.

The way this works is that people work on the mod when they have free time. Some times there will be a number of people working on it which makes us believe that its possible to finish something on a set date and we announce it.

But, people being people, will then stop unexpectedly and not finish what was needed because of personal issues (be it that they're bored, got other work, software/hardware issues etc....any number of reasons)

Complaining about it and lecturing about keeping on time blah blah blah honestly doesn't do anything.
I can appreciate where you're coming from but you have to accept the above.

We can also simply adopt the Blizzard like saying nothing more than...when its done you'll see it. No promices or comments on anything...

[Cranialwizard]

And we bring this prayer to a close.

*Ominous chants of choir in the back*

Aaaaaaa....meeenn...

Basically the mods couldn't have said it better.

Didn't mean to be rude or anything, but many of the thing that I have argued would be good for the mod for months should be in the next patch, I look forward to see how it turns out.
The waiting time is killing me.

[Headlock]

Didn't mean to be rude

hilarity guaranteed to ensue after an opener like that...

if above re internal testing etc is true then its quite possible patch 1.05 = at least 2 weeks from now

ah well, cant wait see the mp forums refilling!

good luck, guys

What is patch 1.05 supposed to do, add a better skin for the Russians, add vet/retreat, or do more balancing?

[WartyX]

Rebalance of the entire Soviet Faction along with bug fixes, graphical fixes and a few reskins.

Excellent. It will be like getting an all new mod again.  Thanks for the hard work guys.

Awsome, but I would reccomend posting some news on the front page. Its been a month, and it still says "Don't worry, we will post some real news soon..."
