6 Days And Counting ..

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

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".

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.

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.

Those who wanna know why the communication with Ubi is so poor:

The Community Developer for the US/UK forums "works" in Ubisoft Romania.

I moved on to Flight Sim X to fill in time and having a blast! Even bought a TrackIR Pro to go with it. Great game, and ya, not even worried about the patch due date now. Will get back to SH5 at a later date if FSX does not consume me forever.

Not sure what you meant by that last bit about moderators working against forum members?

As I said somewhere else given the mature, reasoned and rational response to the first patch delay both here and on the Ubisoft forums I would be amazed if they haven't put in a company wide prohibition against giving firm dates on anything.

Sorry, it's my policy not to comment any further.
