Regarding Patch 1.3! (I hope...)

I hope that they have planned a lot of patches

If they release the patches too fast perhaps devs can´t fix all bugs or the more importants.
Two more only for the 1.4 :hmm:

I'm afraid they did, but are re-planning now. If there's a 1.3 it should hit about the time the magazine full reviews hit the streets. They're probably going to mostly be in the 7.0 range, and will mention lots of bugs, even those that reviewed 1.1.

I don't know how sales are going from my one store survey, but it isn't flying off the shelf according to store employees. I havne't seen any marketing yet either (no Sunday circulars w/price promotion.)

Given how complex the reported problems are I wonder if Ubi management might just cut losses with 1.3. Or even 1.2.

Has anybody here who talks to the devs got any feel for how the wind is blowing?

I think that UBIsoft and Devs team have to solve all major issues in gameplay:
--- as guys said before forced retirement has to be optional or as a penalty for shooting POW etc
--- chronometer issue ( see manual its there!!!! )
--- sonar / radar bugs
--- damage model

regards VK

"Have to" as in "ethically should" or as in "leglaly required"? Because that license we all clicked across without reading it doesn't obligate them to do anything.

Yeah... ethics-smtetics, legal -unlegal -shmaklegal whatever ...
Fine print agreements etc etc etc... Nobody seriously talking about moral and ethical obligations.... As Edgar Poe once said "we leave in the modern country that we have everything that money can buy" including justice. Ethics was sold in August 6 and 9 ,1945.

Since I bought this game, 5 of my friends have bought it and several are planning to. Heck, we are starting a SH4 "unit", where we post patrol logs and all get on Teamspeak and chill out and talk while playing, it really is a blast. Don't forget that games like these have a strong word of mouth following as well.

As far as patches go, I am happy with 1.2 so far, and do hope more patches will come, because they can only make this great game better. But they could also do what Infinity Ward did with COD2 and hit the eject button and leave everyone hanging with a game not at full potential. Something tells me Ubisoft will come through for us. Give them a chance to catch their breaths after 1.2 and they can start on 1.3.

After all, at 100% realism, I need that stopwatch doohickey to tell speed. I am tired of 3 hits out of 12 torps.
