I'm a little disapointed that Ubi have not made an official anouncement on their website/forums(English).

I'm also a little worried that this delay might mean that Ubi are pulling their surport. (e.g. this might be the final patch?) So they are making sure its complete so as not to make another patch Otherwise why not just release patch (1.20) now with a small patch to fix the localisation problems to follow (1.25) and then 1.3 in a few weeks/months?

Although i could be reading too much into it and i'm completly wrong.

If this was to be the last patch, they would have fixed a lot more bugs than announced in the upcoming patch notes.

Does it even really matter anymore? Many of the important game play features that were in SH3 and SH4 have been removed from SH5, and cannot be added back in by modders. Patches will not correct how much SH5 was dumbed-down.

Tell that to the education system.

lmao.

You missed out "I'm glad the patch is delayed, it shows the devs are taking their time to get things right " Which would be my choice.

In addition the devs seem to be going the "extra mile" to change things to make it more easy for our modders to import SH3/SH4 ships in to the game which they definitely did not have to do.

The last choice ruins the credibility of this poll... a thinly veiled attempt at creating more DRM complaints.

You added a choice in the poll for those of us who don't own the game, but added the stipulation that it's because of the DRM, which isn't the reason for many of us (myself included.) I don't like it, but it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me, and I'm sure there are others who feel the same.

If you're going to have the option "I won't buy the game until DRM is removed" then you should also have the following:

• I won't buy the game because I can't afford it
• I won't buy the game because I prefer fleet boats
• I won't buy the game because summer is almost here and I don't want to get sucked into a game
• I won't buy the game because I'm content with the version I already play
• I won't buy the game because...

The list could go on and on.
Forcing us non-owners into the "Anti-DRM" group is ridiculous.

The thread link below lists many features that were either removed from or are not currently working properly in SH5. Unfortunately, from what I have observed so far, is that many of those features listed are probably hard-coded and cannot be changed through casual modding. Big ones for me are no more crew deaths and very little crew management now.

Firstly, I didn't want write an entire essay of options 4 seems perfectly valid to me.
Second, I am not personally interested in the DRM issue...I bought SHV the day it was released and I love it, especially with the great mods but it seems many people do have an issue with it according to these forums, therefore I wanted to see if the imminent release of a patch had softened their stances on purchasing the game.
finally, if you don't like the subject matter of this thread, feel free not to contribute to it.....

Then why not have the choice "I might buy it now that I see they're fixing it"?

All I'm saying is that your poll suggests that the only reason somebody might not have bought the game yet is because of DRM. And the DRM issue seems irrelevant to the subject of your poll, which is asking about the delay of the patch. That may not have been what you were trying to do, but that's just how it comes across.

It's not as though I'm angered by it. I reread my post and apologize for sounding snippy... that wasn't my intent. I was trying to offer constructive criticism on making a credible poll that doesn't sound like it has a ulterior motive. I honestly came to the poll hoping that there would be a choice like the one I mentioned above, but was disappointed to find out that the only way I could vote is to gripe about DRM, which I'm not too concerned about.
