Any news about the new patch?

[Coracle]

PTW will be in the $9.95 bin by March. Patches? Not a chance.

Hey Firaxis, just get it right FIRST, and then you won't need no stinkin' patches, and we can just ENJOY a game, as we did with Civ 2.

We? I enjoy Civ3 and bought PtW mostly for sp, and was able to play mp some in the few games I tried. Go complain for something useful Coracle, instead of proving that you're totally devoid of anything better to do then whine at a company you stopped liking how long ago? On a forum for a game which you hate? Pathetic. Really man, get a new hobby.

Like I said earlier, it doesn't make business sense to add features in a patch. Bug fixes, yes. New features, no. Why pay your workers to improve something that isn't selling anymore?

I expect that PTW will have a couple of more patches to get it working well, but I wouldn't expect to see many enhancements in the patches (contrary to Civ3 where there were a lot of enhancements).

Unless....


Unless...they have the front money from another new expansion to continue work on the Civ3 line.

hi ,

Coracle plays the game, he likes the game, but the things he doesn't like, he lets everyone know about. While he may irritate you and others (I used to be one of them), he has the right to say what he thinks, and he isn't TOO far off the path.

Things only get fixed with a lot of whining.

ACK!

Did you know that Blizzard STILL has a programmer working on a patch for Diablo 2? Only one, granted, but from the buzz he is making a LOT of changes to the game and adding new features.

But, then again, Firaxis ain't Blizzard.

ACK!

Did you know that Firaxis released a patch recently (november IIRC) for SMAX to make improve XP compatibility? How long ago was SMAX released, 3 years? Granted, it didn't change gameplay, but it did help some, including me. So I think Firaxis has a decent track record as far as patches are concerned, even after extended periods of time.

Firaxis is a company that, unfortunately, was raped by Infogrames.

Also coracle: At "Fun Unlimited" I've seen a few PtWs already for $10.00

Give your head a shake Tuber. Now we have you, a guy who does not own the game, excusing a troll who does not own the game.

Come again when you have a clue wth you are yapping about, or the next time you want to +1. Just don't expect a warm welcome.

Firaxis doesn't have anywhere near the money of Blizzard. Blizzard can much more easily afford to dedicate a programmer to patching.

BTW, whiners get put on ignore lists (I have this on very good authority) and their message becomes lost. People who rationally and reasonably discuss flaws with the developers get results. Whiners just get ignored.
