Question for those in the know (mods admins etc)

Thu Feb 27, 2003 12:52 am by smashmode

I was just wondering, and please feel free to move this thread or lock it or whatever. But I do see alot of legitimate issues/things missing from the game, that were supposed to be in the game?

I was just wondering, does DA or MS have plans to implement these features in a future patch? Are you in contact with them so they could tell you?

I just need to know if this game will be fully supported with patches/expansions from DA and MS, before I buy it.

Thanks

There probably won't be a patch unless a serious bug is discovered, and there is nothing that is missing from the game. A game develops over time and things are dropped. It's exactly like a movie, some scenes end up on the cutting room floor because they don't work for one reason or another. I wish I could give you a reason for why certain features of the game were dropped but I don't know. However Im quite sure that DA had a legitimate reason for cutting certain parts of the game, be they make it to complex, don't make sense, cost to much to implement etc..

They can add some stuff with a patch. This happens all the time with games. But most of the stuff some players have complained about will more than likely be addressed with a xpansion pack. I say this again..the key for support is how well the game sells. I read a review of the game were the DA team was interviewed and they were asked about a xpansion. They said it was a possibilty. In realty what they meant was...if the game sells well enough and fans want one bad enough to pay for one...it will come. It really boils down to money. And after all....they have bills to pay like the rest of us.

The word is that MS will make DA make a patch ONLY if they get A LOT of complaint in their email inboxes or if the bug is frickin serious, like itll reformat your computer.

Anything else like an expansion pack or addon depends on how well the game sells and depends on what sort of project DA is working on at the time. If they are already working on Freelancer 2, why use up resources to make an expansion right?
