Black Sea Studios and KoH patch - status

[kevincompton]

the list made by \angryminer was made over a year ago and since then many other bugs/gameplay bugs were found so I guess they should take into account also some of new ideas

they better.

[Traveller]

But BSS should make the new patch according to the list of things, which SF (or whoever is the one paying) would give them. And if SF have to make a new list with new things, of course, we'll wait for the 2nd patch a lot more time...

[Elvain]

SF made no list. The list was made by Angryminer.

And SF can just simply update it with the things we demand in this list and the others leave alone.

It will take 1 guy about an hour to go through. Many of proposals are very detailed so I see no reason why they should ignore new ideas.

Furthermore they SHOULD update the list of demands NOW when BSS are busy and SF seem to have some time, don't you thik?

I think they have enough time to update the list with several of our new proposals

[Richard]

Elvain why don't we do it, Hell anyone that has some spare time and likes Koh can help? That way Sf can't say they couldn't go through the ideas because they had no time or because they were too cheap to pay a guy an extra hour of work or anything like that.
So first things first. Where is the list summited by Angry?
After that we can put everything in one big post and add the most reasonable ideas from the new thread with suggestions. Then Webbi can take care of handing it to his bosses.

[Angryminer]

I merely kicked off the process of defining a patch with my summerization of the community's ideas. Sunflowers will propably have picked the one or the other feature from my paper, but definitely not all of them, and definitely not only features from my list.

Angryminer

[Elvain]

I agree to both of you

I think I could do that (and btw I plan to go through the post when I summed up all the ideas from KoH patch2 suggestions and remove those which are completely irrelevant etc.)
I know this list won't be the only source for the patch, they already have Angryminer's and even there they will probably only pick some ideas.

The thing is they will have the ideas community demands all together and all formulated as well as possible.

And I hiope they themselves found some stuff to improve or thought about better ways how to improve things we complain on.

We'll see

[Elvain]

btw, we're discussing wthat about the patch, but it seems that there is no progress in the official part of it. So...

Frujin, are you GENERALY able to say how long wil the milestone take you?
another month? another year? :scratch:

I understand you are quite busy so you haven't visited the forums for more than 10 days now.. but..

yes, I'm impatient :angel:

[Elvain]

Slience again?

The policy is back where it was?
All promises are in vain?

Or is there really nothing you can tell us abnout the patch? So it means you again proved absolutely incapable to do something with this game?

What about the lists of suggestions for the patch? does SF do anything in this point? what about the BSS's milestone? Will it last another year? When KoH was in process of creation, the milestones were reaching in several (up to 5) months, didn't they? and for how long do we wait now? 3 months since it was announced?

Would you be so nice to give us ANY reaction?

[cursingdirk]

It's hopeless.
In my opinon.
It is no profit to company, it isn't?

[Anguille2]

I say...let's be patient! i've got plenty of games to play meanwhile. Man...i still play EU2...i can wait until the patch comes out.

[Dobber]

I say...let's be patient! i've got plenty of games to play meanwhile. Man...i still play EU2...i can wait until the patch comes out.

Yeah, I gonna soon have Anno 1701 and I just got AoE III, which thus far I have found to be better than what some folks had said!

[Elvain]

I say...let's be patient! i've got plenty of games to play meanwhile. Man...i still play EU2...i can wait until the patch comes out.
oh, yes, I wish I have money to buy EU2 and Crusader kings to have some alternative to KoH but at the moment I prefere to invest in my stusies and travelling :angel:

[Follaringo]

That's great!!! Very good news!

[weaz]

play medieval 2, same concept as KoH but better...

[Madmax]

I don'T agree, Weaz.
I have palyed Med2 today and on the strategic level is a mere mod of Rome TW. Which is not at all as fun as KoH, for me.

TW I like for online tactical battles, and Med2 seems to me it is at the level of Medieval1 and of Shogun ( I disliked Rome completely)

A second patch for KoH would make it much better , I believe, but better even would be a KoH2 ......

[Elvain]

ok, so I ask again...

or anyone, could youask Frujin about some news please? How is the "milestone" work going? Is there really any milestone that blocks patch development?

and to Sunflowers:
is there any progress in projecting of the patch on your side?

I'd be really glad if at least one of my questions would be answered and not ignored. Thanks

[Angryminer]

Please understand that the Webmaster is very busy at the moment and thus it may take quite a while. He's our best address at Sunflowers and usually he is the one who goes around and asks our questions.
But I'd like to ask a more easily answerable question:
Would you please post the planned featurelist of the patch on KoH.net? You already have that document somewhere at Sunflower's and would only have to copy&paste it to the website, with a small entry around it. That would show everyone that you are really working on the patch. Also it would end all speculations. :go:

Angryminer

[Elvain]

Well.

I think that the featurelist that was made a year or longer ago should have some updates. So if they'd post it somewhere it would be true proof of KoH patch activity :go:

I completely understand they are busy, but their last statement was over a month ago... and it was:
Hello Guys,

It is coming closer! If everything goes well for BSS, as we all hope, that is ... I will get back to you as soon as I have any (even microscopic) news. :)
last Frujin's activity was more than 2 weeks ago so it seems he's very busy now. So that probably means he could give us some more microscopic news about his estimate about when the work on KoH patch could be started, if it will take months or weeks (up to one month). I believe he could know how is the work going

[Webmaster]

i did not forget this thread and his topic, be sure!
right now, i have no news. the patch features i will try to reveal. but this can take a while.

coz i if made errors in posting wrong things everyone is going mad ;)
so, i want this featurelist doublechecked before posted!

[Elvain]

:hello: thanks for the reply.

So it means the featurelist exists :go:

Just one more question for now.. is the list updated or is it still the same list that was made long ago?
