Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Hi everyone,

We want to update you on the Powerplay release. The team are working really hard on what is going to be a huge and very exciting update and earlier today in my weekly post I said we were still tracking to release the Beta next week.

However, in order to be sure we release the best build we can we have now decided to move the Beta release out by up to an additional week, depending on progress, so I wanted to let you know as soon as possible. This also means the release date of Powerplay will change.

We will of course keep you updated. We really appreciate your understanding.

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!

Thanks

Michael
Thanks for informing us and feel free to delay the Beta until you decide it is the best build.
Since I have no more fingernails to bite I will start gnawing on my elbows.
Thanks again.
 
I'm seeing all those happy faces and have to say that NO, it is not a good news. It can't be. Still big bugs, particularly missions where the devs told us they will fix it in priority. The reality is that they don't care because 1.3 will give a new mission system, so the lie is the way choosen by the devs.


Anyway the game is still a beta for me, nothing interesting to do, big lack of challenge and great hope for 1.3, the possibly real 1.0.


Sad to hear that it's not May as announced but June. FD just could tell us June to be sure the release won't have big bugs like all releases since then. Maybe July has to be considered because it is a giant update and release it without bugs would be a nice improvement for Frontier and a honest move. Actually the commercial way to communicate, the art of teasing every week is disgusting. The game remains void.


There are lot of fanboys crying of joy to each Michael's posts here but as a normal player I have to say that 1.3 is in a urgent need. I am not a hater I like this beta but I need the stuff the 1.3 promises to keep playing.
100% posts of fans is weird, I mean maybe people just give up the game and so it only remains the fans staying to applause whatever happens.

I know Michael will just ignore me because he has nothing to say to people who are thinking the game is still a beta (prove me I am wrong but you are not so honest about yourself in FD) so see you next month :)
 
DjeeB:

Are seven days too long a wait to stop months of problems later? Stuff happens, 1.3 is a massive, massive update and its only natural FD want to get it as good as possible.

And if ED is that shallow, why are you still playing or posting here?
 
Heck that's a blow.. I've been so looking forward to the 20th. :(

Delaying the full release of 1.3 I could understand being held back.. But when it's just the beta.. I can't fathom out why. But hey, what do I know :/

Truth has been told indeed.
 
Just a friendly warning :) if FD release steam keys before powerplay youll risk to get mass bad reviews on steam. youre marketing ppl should know this. i seriously hope that this will not be a disaster for the future of ED. i hope i m wrong in this!

That's a little harsh. Anyone who is OK with FD announcing a delay to an update is a "fanboy" ? Your perspective is quite skewed.

Hello,
thank you for letting us know about the delay. I have only one question, when you say huge, how big will be the size of the update? Would be nice to know that.

Thanks

When i need cheering up I go read two things on the Internet... Manchester United fans commenting on Liverpool FC articles written by the daily mail and the ED forum trolls!

So it's delayed... Such is life
But what do I know ... I'm a fanboi !!! :p
 
Where?

Somewhere hidden among the opinions?

Truth is universal dear, it doesn't depend on opinions.

Truth says Powerplay is delayed by a season.

Truth also says that the bugs created in 1.2 were not addressed as we have been told they would. And I am sure you know they are toooo many. More than 1.0, more than 1.1.

The above are not opinions, are facts.
 
Thanks for the heads up, I'll take my time coming back to civilisation then.

Can't understand the posts from people that would prefer release before it is finished. Take your times guys (and girls), you're doing a fine job. Get it right before it goes out, absolutely the correct thing to do.
 
Omm, maybe you are right, but you know something? We were told powerplay will be released in Spring 2015. Not summer 2015. :) So we have been waiting for the last 2 months for this release which would have come "soon".

Soon is so relative...

Perchance you've never worked in software development? ;)
 
That's good news! Yeah, take all the time you need to deliver the best!

Couldn't have say it better !
