Welcome aboard Stefan! I can understand your confusion, the holiday thing was in reference to this later post:

Die Entwickler sind total in den Urlaub. Ehrlich. Ich würde nicht von so einem Ding liegen. Du kannst mir mehr Vertrauen, als Sie Ihre eigenen Mutter vertrauen. Ihr Pflaster wird nie herauskommen, Sie schon hinters Licht geführt. Ich bin überrascht, es gibt eine deutsche Übersetzung für "hinters Licht geführt".

Was there also a translation error with that one?

" sind total in den Urlaub"
Can be taken out of context, that one,
do you have a link to this post? Over there? in the German forums? Would need to see the whole posts surrounding that one, could be a saying, as in: the devs are just totally not here", perhaps the poster is saying that the devs are not "with it" with this game, exactly translated, what you quoted "the devs are totally on holidays"
that doesn't make sense. German can't always be translated exactly into english.
I will still go with the comments posted at the start of this thread.

I had a look and there's nothing about it on the English language Ubi forum. I guess it would be helpful if they posted this information on all the official forums, instead of just the German one.

This is the whole post in German :

"Hallo Leute,

Wir haben eben mit den SH5 Entwicklern gesprochen und sie nach klaren Informationen zum Release des neuen Silent Hunter 5 Patches gebeten.

Leider können wir euch an dieser Stelle nicht mehr sagen als "Er ist unterwegs". Zeitlich können wir euch keine eindeutige Vorstellung geben. Richtet euch aber auf einen Release in der zweiten Maiwoche ein.

Ja, wir sind darüber auch nicht erfreut und haben auf eine frühere Verfügbarkeit gehofft. Leider können wir daran nichts ändern.

Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden.

Gruß,
Marc"

Microsoft translates it as:

"Hello people,.

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

Unfortunately, we can say no longer you at this point as "He is on the road". Over time we can give you no unique idea. Set up but to a release in the second Maiwoche you.

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

We keep you informed.

Regards,
Marc"


Why do I suspect that we've been trolled?

You have been, but you're both talking about different "posts".

The babelfish translation

Hello of people, We spoke the SH5 evenly with developers and asked them after clear information for release new silent of the Hunter 5 Patches. Unfortunately we cannot say you here any longer than " It is unterwegs". Temporally we cannot give you a clear conception. Furnishes you however on release in the second May week. Yes, we are pleased and for an earlier availability did not hope over it also. Unfortunately we can change in it nothing. We hold you up to date. Greeting, Marc

For myself I'll wait for the patch without bitching. Since Ubi released this unfinished product I will show my displeasure by never purchasing a Ubi product again. If it says Ubi it won't be in my shopping cart.

thanks robbo180265,
i was informed belatedly that the "holiday" post is impossible to find!

Yeah, how difiicult would it be to write a quick Post on this Forum, when you have atleast two guys regularly visitng it anyway, just to let us know about the delay? A little bit of communication would prevent people from getting the wrong idea.

Afterall, Ubisoft's a French company, with a Romanian development team and yet we're scrabbling around in a German language forum, trying to scrape up tidbits of unreliable informtion for a game that has the majority of its sales in the English speaking world. Not very good is it really?

5 minutes after the German website announced the 3 week delay, I PM'd the forum manager of the official UK/US forums to update their thread with the new information. As you can see that hasn't happened yet.

I'm also convinced that GKane doesn't work for Ubisoft anymore, or if he does they should really look into what he's been doing for two months, coz it's not been "keeping us informed".

Did you consider the possiblility that they are prevented from communicating with us by dint of policy. I work in broadcasting but whenever I am asked by my co-workers in the Newsroom for any comments about any media related subjects I have to decline.

Well something's up with 'policy' because the Moderator over at the Ubisoft Forums had to call up Ubisoft, on behalf of the forum members (end-users, consumers, whatever you wanna call 'em/us) to get a tidbit of information about the Patch. Now that's what I call a Moderator, actually working on behalf of the forum members and not against them. Imagine the possibilities!

You think they would be prevented from talking about projected release dates for a patch? I can understand comments but hoped for release dates? I'm also surprised by the sheer lack of communication from this company about this game. I don't know what it means but people will almost always assume the worse and it just looks bad. To only get information from one countries forum is just poor form.
