Black & White 2
DuckSpeak:
MMORPGs are addicting, though I can't say it's fun. It's all about power, since your character can become more and more powerful as the game progresses. You could say money also. At a certain point you just can't handle anymore, and like I did, throw everything you worked so hard on to the ground, causing a short period in which people stop talking and loot. ;) MMORPGs are the curse of the gaming world.

Well the game was supposed to WW release this week, instead it was cahnged by EA (without telling the devs) do be released starting the 4th and in parts of the world as late as the 13th.
If you use about half the Nvidia cards, including the 6800 ultras you likely cannot play the game. There is a fix, download the leaked beta drivers. Don't know how they managed that one, I know ATI is on thier splash but you would think they would test with more than an NvidiaMX on an emachines.
There is a patch coming out that fixes "nothing critical" but just the bug fix list alone is a mass of game loss, crashing, etc. Who knows what is not in that list ot get EA to make a patch that is supposed to be out before the game hits shelves?
Well they screwed it up anyway. The patch is set for tomorrow, people got the game yesterday. So the patcher tells you you have an update available, but the link is dead.
Go read whats left on the forums over there. From the looks of it the Devs (Sam in specific) were blaming EA for not putting it up and that they have no control at all oer it. Then piece by piece it has come to be known that while that is true, EA cannot put the patch up until tomorrow SINCE THE DEVS ARE STILL CODING IT! Pull an all nighter for a patch that fixes "nothing critical".
Plus the patch is so "minor" that it won't let you use your prepatch save games. So you can play the bugged version, then patch and start the tedious training levels (you can skip the tutorial, but not the training levels) all over again, or never patch and wreck your game anyway.
Oh, and the skirmish mode didn't come with live. Maybe with a patch or expansion.
So, if you bought the game right away, HAVE FUN!

Oh mate!, what a major cockup. I certainly won't be buying it.

Another bene of stupidity and greed to EA. I swear I'll think twice (and then rethink twice) before getting ANYTHING EA related in the future. And it won't be fresh products either. Let them simmer for a while until the patches are out and then get them I say. "EA Games - Challenge everyone's nerves!".
Edit: and with this post I get my first pair of ripped lips :o
sanmonroe:
Man the drama gets better and better!
EA completely locked down the UK B&W forums since they had gone out of control. On the lionhead forums one of the devs is closing tons of threads and has actually sent posters PMs saying he has added them to his ignore list since they are too negative.
:)
Oh and the patch is still not out.
