Harry,

Maybe I'm just seeing the Monster Under the Bed, so to speak. Frankly, I hope that I am seeing phantoms. Otoh, from my distant pirch some of the patterns seem to indicate movement in the direction I spoke of in a previous post...

So like sporting gentlmen, let us say that in 12 to 18 months if things pan out the way I think they will you'll treat me and mine to a dinner that will not exceed in cost $100. If you are correct--more the likely--then I will treat you and yours to a dinner not to exceed $100.

Btw, what exactly is an "urk"?  

Best,
Jerry    

sorry, but not betting...and unless you have solid proof, I don't want to be contributing to rumors, and I'd certainly appreciate it if they weren't spread.  A hunch is not good enough.

thanks.

To answer for Harry the word is "Irk"

Irk - to annoy or bother.

Irksome is also commonly used to described behavior that annoys or bothers.

So if you "irk" someone you are normally hitting a pet peeve.


Thus ends the lesson for the day children.

Ok, Harry, have it your way.

Btw, just for the record, speculation is to rumor as urk is to irk. And my post, the one that got deleted, was no more than just speculation. Now, the one that I quoted, and it still un-deleted, that is rumor. I hope that clears things up for you.

Best,

Hi will the final patch be useable with a Dial Up modem connect to the Dynaverse ??

Harry.
After we got burned by Interplay people here are a bit jumpy and tend to flinch at the mere thought of getting screwed again.
I hope that you are correct Harry,But only time will tell.

Eh? Did I talk out of line some how?

Time to head back to the Dyna forums, I always get draged into things when I post over here. *sigh*

Well the point of the thread is:

Taldren want to support the game, despite whatever sales they are showing this and so do Activision. This is good we should all be very happy, I think anyway. Who knows what the future will bring, lets help these guys finish testing the patch (as its a public Beta), do this in a calm and constructive manner and enjoy the game for what it is.

This is a Taldren message board, so whatever game they next produce will be on here in some form. They will be far more trusting to peoples oppinions and willing to look at our feedback if we as a group of "fans" or otherwise, conduct ourselves properly here. This includes:

 

 
• No blind support for Taldren
   
• No trolling
   
• No hyper overly critical slating remarks of the smallest mistake
   
• No bad karma
   

I love Taldren they are the best thing since sliced bread, I hate all moderaters they suck, the refit/repair BUG ruins the game beyound beliefe and Im off to gun down innocent people with an SMG....

Thats just a bad example of what I meant.

I hope so or I'd be totally crushed.
   

[Credo Narth]

As an aside, with the beta patch, I've noticed that my weapons groups no longer stay the same after a refit. No biggie, but I think it's a bug. Also, the game speed buttons are reversed. But again, no biggie.

Taldren would be the best thing since sliced bread if they fixed these things...  

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Heh, Im used to it by now Toasty, lol. Suprised they did it to a blue coat tho.

I suppose Erik is simply trying to keep things totally neutral as regards the Taldren/Activision/Paramount triangle bit.

Have a nice day!

Hey Erik or David:

I got a problem here with the patch. I am playing Fed singleplayer campaign. Everytime I try to do the mission "Forced Entry"
I get the following error?CTD (the following is three separate instances)"

Any Ideas?

I noticed Dan from Activision  in another forum stated

"Since we?re on the topic of patches, it has been widely discussed on this message board that Activision has a one patch policy, and I want to state unequivocally that this is NOT the case. Activision's policy is to release an official patch for a game once it has been thoroughly tested by both our production testers and then our QA team. This is to ensure the highest quality standards for the patch and to guarantee that the patch effectively fixes issues without creating new ones. The last thing we want to do is to publish a patch that might do more harm than good."

I hope this means we can look foward to a steady stream of patches like before without such a long wait.
 

[SirWilliam]

Good news if it's true.

SW  

[Blitzkrieg]

Its all good news, all that BS about them not caring about the community or "there customers" should have been put to rest now. If we get 2 or even 3 patches by the time the game is put to rest, all the better.

[ChessMess]

So in the spirit of cooperation... when is ATVI going to come back to this board and put back the Taldren links on the site?

The did return Taldren links to their message board.  I checked the day Eric posted this thread.

Irk is one of those choice words that displays as much about the user's sense of displeasure as it does the user's sense of judgment of status, station, and disdain for the miscreant.

But that's H'wood, Babe!

VERY nice job on the patch guys...

I do not know about anyone else, but this is just an awesome patch on my machine.

This patch has fixed all the major issues that affected the game previously and the new features are great... it feels quite a bit different.  Its how I imagined the actual game would be released.

You guys have definetly got me re-addicted to conquest mode

A couple suggestions that would be nice before I end here...

Ablibity to fix energy slider (suggested before, but a good idea)

Improve the Capture command.  Sometimes the computer will follow this command very well.  Other times, the computer will act lost and wander around.  Worst case scenarios is when I issue the command, and the computer keeps shooting as if it were in Fire at Will mode and kills the target I wanted to capture.  Easiest way to reproduce is, as Borg, get 2 allies and attack a freighter convoy and tell them to capture a freighter right away.  After you capture a few freighters, they will start firing on ones they are supposed to be capturing even if you re-issue the command to the entire fleet.

Patch rules though, thanks a lot!

I'm getting flashbacks to Operation Flashpoint. That was the one game I've owned (and loved) where half the point of the patch was to get the latest bugs...

I have not been posting on this forum since Erik made his post because Taldren banned me from the boards, for reasons that have not been explained to me.  My access seems to be back, so I will be here to answer questions if needed.
