im guessing the Betas know pretty much what the devs know... and circ wants to be the proxy.. i dont see how this can be a bad idea.

Circ does the work,
we get off the Devs back,
we are happy because we know whats going on.

Everybody wins.

Nuk3m · 07-13-2007, 04:03 PM

yeah i say ff will out december

MightyLotu · 07-13-2007, 05:49 PM

FF MUST OUT IN AUGUST!!!

07-13-2007, 10:24 PM

I support Circ and his idea. Just saying.

Jifcuits · 07-14-2007, 12:15 AM

Looks like I'm the minority, but I shall fight you all to the end!

I'm officially starting an anti-leak and anti-update movement

Iggy · 07-14-2007, 01:10 AM

I don't mind leaks and updates....as long as the devs don't get all pissed off about it. The last thing we want is for them to get bent and wait until the last minute to release.

Circ might have a good idea. If he gets approval to be the liason between the devs/betas, and the rest of us info-hungry people.....why begrudge it?

In reality, it wouldn't take much of the Devs time to peruse what he wants to give us(information wise)...and the bulk of their time can be put into the game itself. On the other hand...we, the "non betas" get a little bit more info on what is left to be done. I see it as a win-win situation.

Unless, of course, you guys thrive on bitching...like a bunch of 14 year old girls who just learned that they have another 30 years of dealing with "the monthlies"......In which case, there is nothing for it but for us to hand a bunch of razor blades to your emo asses and let nature take it's course.

Circuitous · 07-14-2007, 01:30 AM

Well so far I haven't released or said anything earth-shatteringly bad for the dev team. I know what's off-limits and what isn't, and I walk that line pretty well, so really proofreading might not even be 100% necessary... it's just a matter of seeing what they wanna do and how and then going from there.

I think I have enough support here to take it to the beta forums.

Coronius · 07-14-2007, 01:41 AM

do it.

StatisticZ · 07-14-2007, 08:16 AM

I support Circ, I think everyone including myself loses hope when there's not at least one news update/dev journal a month. I know a lot's going on in the background, BUT! we must know!! lol

well that would be nice wouldn't it....but it isn't happening. Circ gave us
a nice little "what's going on" in his post.

I support Circ for FF spokesman 100%.

Thanks for the update.

Well I am not a dev but here's my rough estimate roadmap of how things are going from my perspective as a tester...

File · 07-14-2007, 10:37 PM

only 4 out of 18 cobblestones to go according to this photograph

Coronius · 07-14-2007, 11:15 PM

so with this i can safely say it wont be out this year..? =/

Pixel · 07-14-2007, 11:25 PM

When was FF started?

I can estimate how much longer according to the image.

Coronius · 07-15-2007, 12:38 AM

liek 2005 atleast, perhaps even late 2004

Ihmhi · 07-15-2007, 03:57 AM

It's not to scale, though. So the remaining time could be five days, or five weeks, or five months.

Coronius · 07-15-2007, 04:11 AM

not to be an ass but 5 months feels most likely

Nuk3m · 07-15-2007, 05:23 AM

so december then

Tennovan · 07-15-2007, 06:12 AM

updates won't get me the game any faster. Cmon guys, we're used to never being kept in the loop... I thought all this bitching was for show. It might be weird actually knowing whats going on -- lets not make things weird between us.
