Sunnie Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Not sure what planet you are all from, but here on Earth, no studio/publisher releases software or large/planned patches on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday. People generally need a weekend of downtime under normal circumstances, and releasing risky patches or publishing new software around the weekend usually spells disaster when people are called in on their weekend to fix something that should have been released with ample time to fix during normal business hours.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post, but didn't they release Skyrim itself on a Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengrimm Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 The first game to be release on a friday in the last what 10 years at least? Only reason it was friday was because friday was 11-11-11 which was good for marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisleAune Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I hope for structs/classes in Papyrus, and pointers. The event system seems kinda nice, just hoping there would be very specific events like "OnItemAddedToInventory". All i've seen now is a "ObjectReference" and basic data types like floats. Any released documentation on the scripting langauge? I hope the scripts for XP gain and item value are editable. The crafting skills rewards too much and are thus very easy. negative side effects shouldn't increase a poiton's value, so the "purity" perk can finally be a good choice and making gold should be harder. Increase the reward for more complex smithed items and a more exponential XP-for-next-level curve. Edited February 2, 2012 by GisleAune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnie Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yes, it was a Friday, but it was a huge marketing deal with it being 11/11/11. They also were still in crunch mode from getting the final release ready to go so sacrificing a weekend at that point would not have been a loss to staff members that have been working the last 8 weekends straight. However, this is a very rare in this industry, and only was because of the marketing of the "cool" date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sometime it happens on a Friday when they stagger the regional releases. I can remember that happening once fairly recently. Once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I see your point. So tuesday at the earliest then. That's a damn shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengrimm Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'd say we have about another hour or so before we can assume there is no release today. Thus far though it is looking pretty grimm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElderInfinity Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Honestly, since they released the trailer just yesterday, its quite possible they won't be releasing for another few weeks. If that happens, CoH is going to have to be postponed indefinitely, since I won't have enough time to learn all the new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
