Another week with the alien monoliths. No human technology able to eradicate them - lasers, TNT, nuclear or even hot-fixing.

Five days of schedule slip over the seven days since the last reported date.....eight weeks since the last update to the sim, eight weeks of scenery spikes....doesn't bode well for the future update cadence.  Telling customers that a milestone delivery is delayed on the day it was supposed to come out is generally frowned upon as well.

Also all the people who insist that World Update work doesn't impact the Sim Update work are clearly wrong, since we should have had Sim Update III by now.  Clearly they are tied together because of the way Asobo branches their versions, per the comment in the last Dev Q&A

Uh, no? We haven't passed the first presumed date for Sim Update 3 yet.

Why has it took them all this time to tell us it's dropping on the 16th of Feb now. Very disappointing communication from Asobo/MS.

But now it is "locked in"... unless, of course, it isn't.  🤣

It's supposed to be a four week update cadence with alternating Sim Updates and World Updates.

Sim Update 2 was on 12/22, 8 weeks from then is 2/16.

Start at 3:33 in the video (almost the end)....extrapolate the relationship to this ridiculously long thread....time to follow suit with all the Agent Smiths 🙂

 

 

Has it not typically been on Wimpy's Tuesdays in the past?

HAHA

I remember when i complained about how its not professional to disclose a known delay on the due date and got hazed for it.

You telling me they didnt know since 24hours ago that this was going to get delayed again ?. 

Oh well iv'e been conditioned to not care anymore since today's norms indicate its now acceptable practice. Have fun till Tuesday!

EACH TIME they released a broken build there were significant repercussions: we still deal with the consequences.

Is this a joke or what?

They learned to not release massive updates, without QA stamp. Hopefully some day they will learn the concept of hot-fixing. And then replacing the enthusiastic amateurish communication with a professional one.

Bit surprising lack of know how in a global software corporation.

The same group that's whinging over the delay would have been the first to decry "how could MS/Asobo have put this out with so many glaring issues!!@@!?"  If they don't think its ready, then most here probably wouldn't have either.  C'est la vie.

Its awesome to see Gen X & Boomers taking on the instant gratification characteristics of the "gaming class"

If they weren't confident of the build passing QA then they shouldn't have told us it was coming out on the 11th.

With a 4 week cycle between updates, there should be no day-before QA failures anymore.
