I have a feeling July 12 will be a disappointment... | Forums

As we all know, that's the day when the patch is supposed to be released. Now I'm not going to debate whether it will actually be released on that day so read this:

9/ Is Limbic up to the challenge of finishing the game and patch it enough to be fully playable? Which aspect of the game, except for an obvious bug patching, is now in the centre of interest, the top priority one? What changes (if any) can we expect in the forecoming patch?
Last week we could finally reveal what changes will come next and what are our priorities.

Basically, the patch 1.5 (release on July 12) will bring among other things some much-awaited items like new town screens and compatibility of on-line and off-line changes. Compatibility of on-line and off-line changes will mean that you’ll be able to create your saves while playing off-line. The next time you’ll start the game in online mode, during the boot-up of the game, all offline save games created in the previous offline session will be uploaded as online saves to the Ubisoft servers. So when you’ll open the Load Game menu, you will have access to both your online and offline save games. And the same will happen in the other way once you switch from online to offline, your online saves will be available in offline. So no need to maintain two separate parallel campaign progressions anymore.

You’ll still need to pay attention to Dynasty stuff though: it is not retroactive, so if you’ll go too far while playing off-line, once connected online you’ll not be able to activate Dynasty stuff meant as a reward. At the same time, Dynasty items that you’ve already unlocked will remain available on-line only.

We’ve also worked a lot on the game balance which will be included in the patch 1.5. After the release of the patch, we will monitor very closely forums, Facebook, Twitter in order to gather all of your feedback and see if more changes will be needed.

This is what they mean when they say: the higher the expectation, the bigger the disappointment!

and all this for insisting keeping this sh-it DRM thing named conflux... How many times and how many people should ask to remove this?

[Gabryelxxx]

This was to be expected since they never said the patch would remove the stupid DRM. And since Dynasty things are tied into the **** thing i'm surprised we might get any unlocks at all, you can bet you wont get any dynasty XP tho. I think it was a matter of some people having high expectations about the patch when, remembering who we're dealing with, you should only hope that it does not bring some new major problems.

They have managed to reduce the number of people who care about the game below the critical mass of customer they care about. Problem U-solved.

I don't care about Conflux or DRM - I am playing in Offline mode.
However, please fix the daмn BUGS!!

I think the question is wrong!
It says:
Which aspect of the game, except for an obvious bug patching, is now in the centre of interest, the top priority one?--- where do you see that and how can you say it?
Patch 1.4 had NO bug fixes. It is very likely that 1.5 will have none also. So, I am not sure how the interviewer thinks UBI think that fixing bugs is a major aspect of the new patches, when there are ZERO bugs fixed in the latest patch(es).

guys we are what? 40-50 persons who think ubi sucks? i don't think they care anymore and it shows.
and yes much refered bugs, like the fire elemental ability that has been mentioned since beta,is still there! it's not about the stupid ability anymore, but the disrespect and hypocrisy. the sound bug? a junior developer friend of mine says that it is the most easy thing to fix!!!!! and none of those stuff are in the patch notes. i'm being pessimistic about this...
they want money. fixing the game now (that it has sold what it was supposed to sell) they will need to spend money,not take. so why would they fix it completely? it's not in their best interests.
and please don't anyone tell me that they care about their image or future customers! if that was happening we would not be having this discussion now. so lets hope i'm proved wrong or the patch 1.5 will be the final patch!

I am more concerned with the ArchLich Special and Upgraded Glories Special - both are broken too.
(ArchLich special does not always work, and the Upgraded Glories that die from using the special are supposed to return from the dead after the end of the battle, but do not.)

Also, the UI spells/skills scrollbar bug should be quite easy to fix.
The 2 monitor scrolling bug puzzles me too, since the game will allow us to choose what monitor to play on, so they did have 2 or more monitors in mind.

A fuller bug list (though I assume not 100% full) is here:
