I know that it is firmly against the policy if BG to tell us this but what the hell...

Any eta on the next update?

Even if it is as rough as "look out for it in the next two months"!

Any news would be much appreciated!

or even just a quarter would be good. or even just let us know that your working on it.

On a previous page he said they are working on it....(though this quote is a fabrication (merge of two separate posts) to make it easier for me to prove it )
So considering the above 2 posts, let me rephrase the question: Is there any chance of releasing update 3 in the next 2 months?

no date yet set ...they won't have date set even 5 day before it is done so that statement doesn't actually say anything

I know its a double post but this serves two purposes...

One to reaffirm my original question in case a member of BG might see it...

Two to show that it was in fact a reasonable question to those who might otherwise have doubted it...

Three (I know I lied!) to show Number47 the foolishness of his ways (:D)

Well, questions phrased like that worked for update 2 info so why not try it again

You see, for me the situation concernig Update 3 arrival estimate is like a "Groundhog day" (reliving all the begging and pleading for info about update 2 arrival )

As this is a business, it's not the only thing we're working on, but work is being done at various times that will be part of update 3.

I've done some cleaning of the tech tree lately to try and improve the tech progression.

Blasphemy... as true as it may be don't tell us that. We paid for a game and like to think that its being worked on... you inserting the truth in there ruins that.
Regardless of how much time/work it takes if your putting effort into another project at this point it makes those of us who bought CW look like chumps. Generally speaking thats not the mentality you want your player base to have.

+1, even if you are working on an expansion pack, unless your planning on porting some of the engine changes back to vanilla

End of year does bring up things like taxes...

Haha!

Not one of you were expecting that response! We were all waiting on an announcement of a new BG game!

Although to be fair the way you phrased your earlier post...



Did imply that you were working on another project rather than saying that there were other things that needed to be done!

(And still no response on a rough eta for Update 3 )

It's hard to really expand much on what Chris said... there will be another update, exact details are not yet set, and we don't know the timeline... We do want to work on some elements of the game engine that would help with the "lots of units and action = game slowdown" item that can bog down some longer running games, and the earliest that can start is early March, and depending on what we find that may take a bit of time to improve. Some other work is ongoing in the meantime. But it's hard to give any sort of date estimate that is going to be anything more than a guess at this point.

Thanks! It is great just to hear anything!

Sometimes the silence surrounding the updates can be deafening!
