6 Days And Counting ..

walsh2509 · 04-26-10, 11:29 AM

I unistalled SH5 on the night of the 19th awaiting the 2nd patch on the 20th, I did this because I had installed mods over the original files.

And to tell the truth I have not missed it, I hope they take away this target of tonnage or ships inside a marked area to move the the next level.

I do not like this , you have to sink x amount in said area to progress.

Patch isn't coming out till Mid May.

Also, you don't have to sink all the tonnage they ask you do. You don't have to do those missions at all. Play the game how you want.

Also, uninstalling for a patch seems... odd?

Well, I'd predicted it a week ago (sadly as a joke that became true), but it was confirmed today on the German forums:

You know.. I'm really mad. I mean.. WTF?! The only announcement about the patch delay is made again on the german forum only?! Are these guys completely insane?

Sorry, but I can't hold it.. Feur Frei and all those who defend the devs and Ubi, are you still think that we should be quiet and patient? For how long?

Here is a translation:

Hello people,

We have spoken with the SH5 developers and asked for clear information about the release of new Silent Hunter 5 patch.

Their reply:

"Unfortunately, we can say not say for sure at this point as most of the development team are on holiday. We can give you no specific idea but it's set-up for a release in the second week of May."

Yes, we are also not pleased and hoped earlier availability. Unfortunately we can not change it.

We'll keep you informed.

Regards,

It's not the game devs, it's this guy:

That's "GKane", Adrian A. from the Ubisoft Romania office. He's not listed in the credits for Silent Hunter 5, so I'm assuming he's just some marketing dweeb from Ubisoft corporate.

He's the one that had been posting about Silent Hunter 5 to the official forums, he's the one running the community twitter feed and facebook for Silent Hunter 5 and he's the one that's posted a total of 4 times on the official forums since the game came out.

If he was doing his job, we'd get more information I'm sure.

What choice do you have but to be patient?

Ranting and raving isn't going to get it out any sooner. Nor is it going to change Ubisofts communication priorities.

Endlless posts about the game's percieved shortcomings are mostly ignored.

Spewing venom around is only going to get you booted off of Subsim sooner or later.

And if you patience runs out what are your options?

Wrong! You're reading into things that were NEVER posted by me.
I never said you should keep quiet, far from it, i have no issues with people voicing their concerns. Respect them in fact.
For how long?
As long as it takes! No point in getting a hernia over it!
Defend Ubisoft and it's Devs?
Just because i don't complain "openly" in every thread that is started, doesn't mean to say i defend them.
Nor does it mean when posting and "asking" some people to refrain themselves from just making the usual, boring mindless posts of "I hate Ubisoft" and the like, and actually come up with some more mature contributions, does it mean i am defending them.

Am i wrong?
Good day sir!

Oh, well. Good things come to those that wait.

And wait.

TBH, what with all the mods that I'm snowballing into JSGME again, even though I said I wasn't going to go over the top with mods, but I can't seem to help myself, I really like the game now.

A lot, not everything I know, of things have been vastly improved now.

Exactly what I do.
In the Mare Nostrum campaign I sank the two carriers in Gibraltar.

You sir are quite the optimist.

One of two things is likely to occur:

1. In three years, we'll all be talking about the awesome work the modder's have done on the latest supermod for SH5.

2. In three years, we'll all be talking about some other submarine simulation that filled SH5's place, since it flopped badly.

Either way, I doubt the majority of us will remember, much less care about, the several weeks we had to wait for the patch.
