0.8 !!!! FINALLY! What are your thoughts on this abrupt announcement?

Post by scarmoe »

Personally, im really excited for this release. :D

I started playing back in the 0.6 days (not that long ago :D ) but i love PR.

SO...lets hear some peoples' thoughts on this.

Project reality .8 will be a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE RELEASE!!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if they got "Mod of the year" for this one. This is probably more anticipated than .5(which I began my PR gaming on) The Devs did a really good job, especially beating out the paid employees over at EA(no offence)in the quality and research they put into this mod. Give the devs a big round of applause(and all the booze they can drink)!

Abrupt? There's nothing abrupt about any announcement; Should we make an announcement about making the announcements?

They had better make a patch version for us people who don't feel like downloading the Core, and Maps.. And it had better include the maps and core updates in it too! :P

I wasn't that impressed with the game mechanics changes - not enough of them - but the real strength of this patch is content.

One great release? That's wonderful. Two? That's incredible. But eight groundbreaking releases...we'll need a new adjective to describe that.

Congratulations, DEVs, on a job well done. I owe you each a gallon, not a pint.

I better forward this comment to [R-CON]Wolfe and [R-DEV]M.J.Patterson because they totally did not work for hundreds of hours on one single game mechanic.

You cannot fathom the game mechanic changes. The changelog from .8's beginning to .8xx's release is quite a novel.

Great !
Thoughts - not that abrupt given their past practice of quiet releases,
on Friday - k I'll ask, will that be Friday midnight GMT or EST or...

Friday of the last long weekend for the summer here in US/Canada - no, we didn't want to get in any last days of sun anyway, heh

Schools starting up next week too so the usual Dev plan to corrupt all the students heading back.

Great, have to hit the donation page too.
Thanks.

only 3x 0.8 versions downloaded here :) all at around 100-200kbs speed. Takes a while - so do something else while you download. Like us modders - mod! :)
