You just don't understand game development. It needs proper piping and fixtures for all the content to slosh around. How else would you pass stuff around that's being worked on? You need those pipelines.

Then it's Jules Verne time you barbarian: The Journey to the Middle of the Planet.And, more importantly, what happens to the server performance (and subsequently things like enemy AI) when just half of that limit is hit?
This was how it was pitched was it? 'Insignifcant fluff that we can just chuck away on a whim'.
In the mean time, send three and fourpence, I'm going to a dance.
Forgetting, as always, that part of the original Kickstarter sales pitch was that they had already built that company, developed a pre-alpha prototype, and would be ready for alpha testing within a year. All they needed was a few million!
I'm positive you'll be having an epic Idriss-off in Pyro in 90 days tops my undersized pavement crack dweller!
"We will treat backers with the same respect we would treat a publisher" - Chris Roberts
To date, Chris is treating backers exactly like he used to treat publishers. With utter contempt.
Oh, c'mon now, that's a bit harsh, no!? Using facts.
Huh, back then when I learned English we had a bit of touble learning the verb "treat" since it looks familiar to "treten" (to kick). And actually you could make it work sometimes like in this sentence. It's rough, but that's how we kicked the English language.
What type of ticket is it?
Gold, Platinum, Sandwurmieskin?
Exclusive sliced Ranta dung?
Gold, Platinum, Sandwurmieskin?
Exclusive sliced Ranta dung?
Didn't it already sell out years ago?
Its a concept ticket. Warbond only.
It was pitched, if I remember correctly, as a side project with a small team that will be fun to play and useful for testing combined arms. ToW is not vital and not important to the project.
Neither is releasing anything other than jpegs.
Are you telling me that you, as a funder and supporter of this project, willingly accept the 4 year delay of ToW, and almost certain disappearance, for no other reason than "it is not vital to the project"?
Could you tell me which things from the following list you would willingly accept that finally were not as promised (because they were actually promised years ago in a very different way), and after more than 11 years of waiting?
- Loading processes in the PU.
- Separate instances instead of a single reality for all players.
- Servers that have a hundred players instead of the "thousands" promised.
- Not total persistence due to removal of "non-priority" entities after x days.
- Shortcomings in playable mechanics that finally are less deep than initially indicated.
If you would be so kind as to answer me....
In fairness, they've gone absurdly big on the venue this time. According to Stu's digging they've got the 17k capacity hall, and a bonus 2k one.

But not to worry, CIG have an ingenious plan. If Stu's right, they're just gonna hide a third of the space
