Power play to be released today

[Straylight0]

No warning update that may possibly delete all your current missions, bouties and exploration data released to stop first peak play-time of the weekend and make sure that bugs and glitches are as hard as they can be to fix...

...Frontier really doesn't make it easy to like them, does it? Then again, from what I read from the Divinity:Original Sin people, it's probably the money-men behind them we have to thank for not doing a sensible monday-morning changeover

yeah, unfortunately the dev's are only allowed so much leeway... Money men probably pushing for a release to try and have a big weekend, but we all know it never works like that.

Invest the time properly and go and buy some proper beer.

I am quite happy with my beer choice. I surely hope you are not going to suggest some warm British beer. When it's 31c in the shade, that won't do.

I am curious though about the fact they are doing this on a Friday. I know it's not the first time, but still.

Yeah, could be marketing related, could also be functional... just speculating but 1.3 may fix some back-end issue we're not aware of that makes patching a priority. Or.. it could just be mediocre PR and not thinking about impact to their user base or the impression it gives to drop a big patch suddenly (they did drop that 10% penalty without thinking it through). I can only guess, but I typically am the person that pushes the updates out to the systems and know all to well the variety of reasons sudden deployments are needed (and dislike marketing due to them pushing unfinished crap often too).

Are we there yet....?
