iDan122 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 This forum has a section titled "Announcements"; it probably would have taken their "Social Media Manager" ten seconds longer to post a new thread there as well as to Twitter.My real beef with that is that I don't follow Twitter, or Reddit, or whatever else they're posting on, I follow these forums which are hosted by SQUAD. If SQUAD can't be bothered to post information here then what is the point of having this forum in the first place? Having a centralized place where users can come to discuss and be updated on the product would be really nice, but instead I have to rely on other users to bring that information here. These other users are doing a better job than people who are hired to do those things.They are much busier than you who has time to write page long complaints. Just because they made an announcement on the forum and hour later doesn't mean they hate us or don't like the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm doing something unique. I'm erasing all of my science points, tech tree unlocks, and science gained per planet (so zeroing out that part of the career) but am leaving all my ships in place. So as I'm re-sciencing myself I will be still able to use what I already have up there.Which will give me a significant leg up on getting more science but will allow me to experience the new way in which it's gained and used.

Rowsdower Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Where's the announcement from SQUAD about this on this site? Mighty nice of them to keep all the hype on that terrible Twitter platform. Hey regex. Apologies on that! Info came down while we were on an offsite staff meeting (not like the stuff from yesterday lol). Twitter was the best I could do at that time. I'm hitting all the other outposts right now.

Comrade Jenkens Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Squad how many times have we told you not to talk about release dates! Each time you mention it its delayed a bit more!!!On a more serious not... WOOP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hey regex. Apologies on that! Info came down while we were on an offsite staff meeting (not like the stuff from yesterday lol). Twitter was the best I could do at that time. I'm hitting all the other outposts right now.Thanks, I appreciate the honesty. My gripe is that I've seen this sort of thing in other communities where the players have to bring information from outside sources into the "official" sites and I'd hate to have that happen with SQUAD.

xzxvrx Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'd bet this is why the Cygnus-1 launch was rescheduled to Wednesday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSD Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) I have mixed feelings with this one. It's great to have a actual date. On the other hand; Now it's more then obvious that the server(s?) will be down in less then a minute.. Now I have to refresh ever second of the day too (like everbody else), to prevent I have to wait a day or two/three because the server(s?) are over flooded, down or simply shutdown because of the huge server traffic they cannot handle Edited December 12, 2013 by JSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how that system works? Are the games/updates on the Steam platform actually hosted on Steam Servers?? And if yes, when they release a game/update do they upload it to Steam Servers or? How does it work? Edited December 12, 2013 by JSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 My God, what has Squad done?!Seriously, there is a REASON they don't announce update release dates!That's kinda what I was thinking. IIRC the last time a date was announced ahead of time, everything just collapsed when the clock hit zero and it got pushed back a day, or something else bad. Not sure which it was, or if that was even the case though, so we'll see how it goes this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajoswinkler Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 For what it's worth, those of us who purchased through Steam had the update downloaded and installed within a couple minutes of the release announcement with 0.22.True. Updating was done at impressive speeds and no delays were observed on my account.Maybe Squad is testing their new servers or something?Anyway, it's better to give the interval than a point in time when the update is expected. "Sometime in the following 24 hours after date X" would ensure less problems than "Ready, set, go!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpeach Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't think it's that: when the update is only out since a few minutes, not a lot of player know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter was the best I could do at that time. I'm hitting all the other outposts right now.Read: We had a big fat pre-release party and I was drunk-tweeting. My head still hurts, the taxi still smells of vomit and we're banned from our favourite pub for a year. But hey, .23!...Just kidding! Great news, thanks!

superm18 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 My bet is that it's a hoax, to stop people from asking for a date. I think it's gonna be released at the end of KerbalKon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerbMav Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Anyway, it's better to give the interval than a point in time when the update is expected. "Sometime in the following 24 hours after date X" would ensure less problems than "Ready, set, go!"."Hey, the following 24hrs can mean ... 10 seconds into that interval!!"Do not underestimate the crazyness of gaming addicts. My bet is that it's a hoax, to stop people from asking for a date. I think it's gonna be released at the end of KerbalKonNice thought. Honestly: I will be most likely at work the hour it does get released and even after that I am not 100% sure I will start playing right away - at least not in all seriousness - until my most dear mods get updated/verified.

jwenting Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 KSP 0.23 confirmed release Tuesday 17th, as tweeted by KSP themselves no, read again. It's due on a tuesday, they don't say which tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpeach Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I took a screenshot of the announcement: the first release date of history!(ok, maybe I'm a little too..... enthusiastic?)PS: I know that they did an announcement for the 0.22 but it was the day before, and not stated as an announcement while this one is six day before and stated as an announcement.
