Patchlog 1.02 KW Pach angekündigt

[Bossi]

Schade, das es sich bis hier her noch nicht rum gesprochen hat ..
Auch die Single/Funplayer betrifft es ja

Hey everyone,

Been a while, I know. I've been hustling and bustling and working with our C&C TV team to make our current Kane's Wrath Ladder Season an epic and important event for the C&C communiity, and especially the players involved. It's been a long road to our Final 2 and we hope you will join us through the Grand Championship. But, I'm sure you've been wondering, when all the fireworks have exploded and our winner is declared, what's next for Kane's Wrath? Well, it's simple, and we've been working on it for a while now, and that is Patch 1.02!

That's right, we are nearing the production completion of Patch 1.02 for Kane's Wrath, a strong follow-up to the epic 1.01 patch, this patch is squarely aimed at making "numerous" economic balance changes across all 9 factions. We've been watching replays and reading the boards all across the C&C community the past couple of months and feel the 1.02 balance changes we are implementing will be dynamic and yet not earth-shattering (Jeremy Feasel, our lead balance designer on this patch will concur). The list may look long, but in reality these are very targeted changes which we have been testing for a while now and have no doubt it will bring Kane's Wrath to yet another new-level of play. Plus 9 factions, yikes, that's a lot of units to handle!

Below is the entire change-list and here is some other info for you:

-We will be discussing Patch 1.02 on tomorrow's special edition of BattleCast Primetime with further insight on this list of changes so you can better understand our motives and what these changes will bring to the economic balance gameplay of Kane's Wrath.

-While I cannot provide you a specific release date yet, I can tell you the patch is very close to production and testing completion and is looking strong. We'll have more updates for you as they become available.

-Tune in to the KW Ladder Season Grand Championship show which will go live on our website this Tuesday, Dec 16th. I absolutely strongly suggest you watch...you don't want to miss this.

Das wurde ja langsam auch mal Zeit.

Und Patch 1.02 für KW war ja nun auch schon mehr als nur ein par Monate überfällig.
Können wir jetzt am Ende doch noch auf den TW Patch 1.10 hoffen?

[Bossi]

Hio

Letzteres glaube ich leider nicht!

Ich glaube eher das es nicht das Live-Team war sondern die Aktien
Auf was anderes hören die doch nicht und ob dieser Patch jemals erscheint das darf auch noch gerätselt werden.

[Sven]

Äh... Micha... was sollen jetzt gerade die Aktien damit zu tun haben? Ein Patch für ein Add On das bereits seit mehr als einem halben Jahr auf dem Markt ist bringt EA kein Geld und hat damit auch für die Aktionäre keinerlei Auswirkung auf die Dividende oder den Aktienkurs.

Außerdem sollte doch wohl bekannt sein welche Aufgabe Pete bei EALA hat, oder? Dass der patch jetzt kommt ist ganz klar ein zeichen dafür, dass das Live-Team etwas macht. Ob das langfristig die Kundenzufriedenheit steigert (und dann letztendlich auch den Aktioenkurs von EA hebt) ist eine andere Frage....

Aber auf weite sicht bringt das mehr Geld nämlich wenn EA dadurch in Zunkunft mehr von ihren halbgaren müll Verkaufen kann.

Steht doch klar und deutlich von wem es kommt:

Wie war das Sprichwort? Papier ist geduldig und im Internet ist das ganze noch viel schlimmer

[Sven]

Patch scheint jetzt verfügbar zu sein, auf dem EA FTP ist jedenfalls alles außer der DL Version vorhanden. AutoUpdate sollte schon gehen.

Hoffentlich kommt jetzt auch Bewegung in TW 1.10 und TFD 1.03 (official).

Weit von die erste Sven, aber die erste die oeffentlich sind, das stimmt.
