PrePoll: Patches?

[SABRA]

since most people shall patch it would be a natural thing to do

[Jon Shafer]

Most NA people that is. And being that about half the people here aren't from NA, that means about half can't use the save file.

hi ,

wait a minute MR. President , the US english is sold overseas aswell , .....and they can always order the US version , ....

so , it should not be a bad idea to ask who can not patch and as to why they can not do so , ......

panag > gives free banana's to all who dont have the US version , then all the non US version's end in a big bonfire , while we all eat baked banana's around it

have a nice day

YUM! Baked bananas!

While I do download the patch as soon as it is available, many don't: for one basic reason: to see if others have problems with it. This would include a large number of NA players as well. I know people still playing with the 1.07, 1.16, and 1.17 patches. I personally liked the first day 1.17 patch (nothing like getting Leaders from goody huts), but I still patched to 1.21 the first day it came out.

Uber made this well : it's a prepoll thread. We see there's a debate about this. Thus, a poll is in order. I suggest we'd need a 2/3 majority. Indeed, with a 51% majority, up to 49% of people would feel frustrated. 2/3 majority would lessen frustration (well, maybe a 80% majority would be even better, but I fear some people would like to mess up the poll)

i like the idea of upgrading with patches.

I don't mind 2/3 majority, but I would like to have a fair number of people voting, since if only a few vote, you could achieve the 2/3 - 80% more easily, while not being a reflection of true opinion of the group as a whole. I always patch ASAP, so patching wouldn't affect me at all.

What if we wait a little while after the patch is released, then have a poll to see if people are wanting to upgrade to it? I think that is the best idea...

[kring]

Excellent idea.

That way, people will have time to decide if they want to switch to the patch or not. They will be able to hear other people's opinions of the patch as well.

[Kuciwalker]

HEY!

They said the patch would come out in June. It's the 30, and it's still not out. Unless they release it later today...

[Spiffor]

Firaxians later said the patch would be out once testing is over. I fear we don't see the patch in the next 2 weeks.

[Kuciwalker]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Franses]

I prefer a good patch to an early one so let them work on it as long as necessary.

[kring]

They said it was a tentative date, and I agree with Franses. It will be out once the testing is done. Having worked on beta tests before, I know it requires much testing, esp. on a project as big as it sounds like they have going for this patch.
