News Powerplay Beta Date Update

[Jezzah]

Take your time!

More time to play Witcher 3

As the fella says in that recent Irn-Bru advert...."crack on"

 

[wstephenson]

Of course, what it says on the private PP Alpha forum now is...

 

[Billy Guiguips]

Okay No problem! (i am crying a little but i am good) Then we got more time to finish the witcher 3, and any others games which take too much place on our drives.

Get it done well Frontier!

 

[Nonya]

So....when the powerplay beta launches that means we can go nuts in it slaughtering everything in our path in order to try and break the crap out of it?
And in the tradition of Riddick, will there be major NPC players holding high positions in the game - not the main NPCs themselves - that we can take over in a "you keep what you kill" kind of gameplay?

 

[Lestenio]

If FD see the need to delay then they know best.
It just highlights the scoop of change in 1.3. Sounds exciting!

 

[Ben Ryder]

Good news, that gives you time to sort out trading in prohibited goods and fix all the bugs. Looking forward to a quality release. How does it go? Time Money Quality. I just bought 4 t-shirts so you have money and time.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Since Powerplay is so big, will the beta phase be longer as well?

 

[Flimley]

Can't rush these things ! All will be ok.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Powerplay is looking very good, and it’s a major update so it’s better to give it a little more time, and also we'll appreciate as many of you as possible helping with the Beta!

As others have said already - no sense rushing it out if it's not baked through....

The extra delay will simply heighten the antici.....

 

[Jorlin]

...pation

Edit: and a time warp would be nice

 

[Darth Sidious]

Mmmm pizza shortage eh?

 

[golan]

Take your time, release in beta when you're comfortable and to the wide public when you're satisfied with the results and you have my support.

 

[Vingtetun]

All good with me.... am away for 2 weeks anyway.

 

[GJ51]

I just hope we get our current resources available in the beta...

If it's one of those "sell 75 T-9 main cargo holds" deals in order to have some pocket change, count me out.

 

[Talwin]

This allows me to get some more credits together

 

[NDowns]

Anticipation is building. Glad to wait than to rush into a load of problems

 

[LKx]

Well, since it's a beta, it wouldn't hsve been that bad if the first build wasn't that solid

 

[Drezden]

thanks for the update

Lets hope it won't heighten the anticlimax too. stopped playing for ages now waiting for this update.

To be frank, I am getting a bit nervous about pacing of updates. Does it mean passenger transportation, NPC dialogs, scavenging, etc. in next year at best? If so, you must also be ready to hear 'where's rest of content' complains sooner or later - and it would be nice to hear are there any hopes to see any of these features any time soon. Be honest, so we wouldn't make our hopes too high. Having no clear schedule - I know you guys considered this and dev updates are cool - also makes things a bit tedious in that aspect. It would be cool for FD to drop some video after Mac/1.3 releases about futher plans beyond XBO - I suspect it will also change some aspects of schedule for you - to make our minds more at ease.

But overall, I agree with overall sentiment for 1.3 - you are the boss Michael, and you call the shots. If you think you need one week - we can wait one more week.
