Not A Bad Idea.........

[vegeta0111]

not that im being impatient or anything....but as a suggestion maybe the ESF team could but up some sort of percentage bar on the front page to keep people on asking when the next beta is going to come out;D

I don't think they even know exactly when it is coming out...
And if they did do that, say for instance one day it's up to 95%, then they find a little bug they have to work out, and the bar drops to 70%.
The community would have a riot...

I have heard an answer to this question before. Basically the team doesn't know exactly what they are adding into the mod so it woul be impossible to have a percentage bar when you don't know what 100% would even equal.

i like the idea and i think they could be conservative OR they could have increments. Like 25% would mean they were from 25% to 50%....50% would mean 50 to 75% and so on

 

[vegeta0111]

orrrrrr......they could have a percentage bar on certain things like for example..they could be 40% done on coding,70% on mapping,and 80% on modeling.:]

Trust me, it wont happen, dragondude explained it the best.

Many games and mods do this and it is pretty effect. The percentage never goes down cuz you dont update it every few seconds but maybe one every 2 weeks.

By saying they dont know what they are adding tot he mod you mean they are still adding stuff to 1.1? If so then they must have been lying to our faces when they said they were in the bug zapping stage. Hmmm.

But wouldn't that ruin the all the waiting-excitement ... ? :smile:

No, it would ruin all the useless spam waiting-threads but keep the excitement.
