Preliminary Patch Info?

[PitifulGrunt]

I've seen some bits of information about what the patch for ToW will include and I was just wondering if it would be possible to provide a more extended list of changes we can expect to see? The game is really great and I'm really excited about what I've heard about the patch. I know it may be a little too much to ask but the anticipation is killing me (and I doubt I'm alone in that sense! [:)])

As soon as we will get a beta version of patch I'll post changelog

[doomtrader]

Or maybe some rough list sooner

Sensational! Thanks!

I've alluded to this before, but I would really like to see a "v1" patch that essentially does nothing but squash bugs (events, map/hex bugs, etc.).  THEN a "v2" with all the feature changes (aircraft, etc.).  There are things about this game I'm not crazy about (naval aspects in particular), but by and large I enjoy the basic game.  What concerns me is getting a patch that not only fixes the current game but adds so many gameplay changes that I no longer enjoy it.  Then I'm in an "all or nothing" situation-- either live with the vanilla game (and its issues) or a patch that fixes the "bugs" but also changes the game in significant ways.  Frankly, in either case this game probably goes on my shelf.  Please fix "vanilla" first!Just my 2 cents.

I would classify a third type of patch that deals with User Interface improvements.

I agree with your direction, and I would add patching the UI as a high priority after your v1, but before v2. [:D]

I think there are no needs to be worried.
We are not going to make any revolutions, fixes, UI improvements and small evolution of air combat

[borsook79]

To keep things in balance - some of us are very keen on a few "revolutions"

Anyway the beta that you mention - will it be a public beta using members area, or do you mean something internal?

We cooperate with  a couple of dedicated players recruited several months ago among  the forum members and those who survived till today has a privilege... first to fight with the patch

  Anyway have any dev said that the patch would allow planes to attack subs? I remember some people considered it as a desirable feature.

It is a very desirable feature... so will the patch allow it? Cause "would" is kinda hazy...

[Anraz]

It will

It will

Great to hear! And will the chance to find subs be the same as it is now?

[doomtrader]

You mean by aircrafts, they are increased.

No, I meant by surface fleet. It seems (although I know, this may be considered subjective) way too high now...
