So, about us getting new media "all summer long"

[Sephrick]

Also yes, 1.23 isn't next week >_>.

Could be. Especially since they've already referenced more than one sub patch.

Unless they're going to do a patch per week in August, 1.23 should be some time next week.

Depends on how much time they want to leave us with to actually play this epic conclusion to the past two years on gaming.

Yeah that's why I'm betting the lettered patches coincide perfectly with Gamescom then just before Alpha, since 1.23b for example could be the CS that leads into 2.0.

I don't mind either, but please don't make the rather wild assumption that giving us information would somehow delay the actual release. They're really different things.

I'll admit that I am assuming that a delay in the release of information could signify a delay - or at least an uncertainty that a delay could be possible - but I don't see how that's a "wild" assumption. You say that I shouldn't make this assumption, but I do not immediately see any other logical conclusion, nor do I see why I should not be allowed to express my opinion as such. One delay is usually accompanied by others in the game development world. Your post leaves me bewildered and confused.

You assuming information is delaying, while information is scheduled for august. You see the problem ?
this "all summer long" horse it's already beated enough, keep it to august as it should

[Lurex]

How about we stop thinking the worse for once and actually look forward to 1.23 next week hmm? Sounds like a plan to me ^.^

I'll 2nd that ^^

Still, if it's going to be the "classic Final Fantasy boss battle" they're promising, people may need more than a week or two to beat it.

Organized linkshells may not have trouble with it, but more social groups may not be so lucky. Speculatively, of course.

New information all summer doesn't equal constant information all summer.

New information all summer doesn't equal constant information all summer.

lol? We've hardly had ANY information, let alone new or constant information. I know there's reasons behind this, but c'mon...it's been at least a month since we've heard or seen anything interesting.

New information all summer doesn't equal constant information all summer.

The trouble is it's all very subjective.

To whom is it new?

At what frequency and quantity does something need to occur to have taken place all summer long?

You're statement is inherently flawed because you're essentially saying "new all summer long doesn't mean new all summer long."

At this point it's pretty obvious SE was just blowing smoke. No matter how anyone spins it mid-August through September is the end of summer.

Does it matter? No.

In a week we'll get 1.23 and people will be pacified for two weeks till Gamescom.

If there was 1 day that the forums didn't go nuts over anything.. it'd be a miracle!
