Agreed.

What's done is done.

It's amazing, though, that this has become such a divisive issue in such a short period of time.

Skydog, it was necessary because of all the bitchin' and moanin' on the site. How would you like to have fans of your product complaining night and day on this message board. WTF

10-1 is not divisive either.... its decisive!

Johnny_Rotten · 04-01-2004, 05:11 PM

Get it out and add the internet play in an update!

Rich Tiger Fan · 04-01-2004, 05:11 PM

I would love to see it released early and like as has been already mentioned the only thing that would leave this out of the game at this point would probably be something major where he just could not get it into the game. So I say lets have it.

I am looking forward to this feature it opens up some cool possibilities for online leagues , me and a friend plan to start a league where we play our games online so I certainly want this feature, but I can't wait for it as long as the rest of the game is tested and ready to go!!!

Gromit · 04-01-2004, 05:13 PM

I wasn't referring to the poll, flitchplate...try to keep up.

I was referring to the overall tone of these forums right now. It's seen better days.

Henry · 04-01-2004, 05:14 PM

NO ONE said it wouldn't be done folks. Markus said it would be part of the first major upgrade 2-3 weeks out... and I would hardly call a 200-20 vote "divisive".

Give the man a break - he's trying to do you all a favor

Do you write your own clever repartee, or do you have a comedy writer who helps you?

Gromit · 04-01-2004, 05:15 PM

See my previous post above, Henry.

flitchplate · 04-01-2004, 05:19 PM

Gromit..i'm with you 110% not trying to call you out.

Seems like the minority, if they complain lond enough, can make the life on the majority a real pain. And that is not even considering Markus et al.

Gromit · 04-01-2004, 05:21 PM

No worries.

thomasthomas · 04-01-2004, 05:22 PM

I'd like to see OOTP 6 released ASAP. The Head2Head feature sounds cool but if it's added later, that's fine.

mauboy · 04-01-2004, 05:22 PM

Now, now.... If you think about it:

1. Those of us who plan on playing in a H2H league, or tourney's for that matter, will need a week or two to get it organized. During the period of organization, Markus will most likely have the H2H feature ready to roll.

2. See #1, but add this... We need time to get used to the game before playing each other, everyone should be getting the hang of things w/in a few weeks.

3. And last of all, everyone will finally be quiet with all the questions of release.

Henry · 04-01-2004, 05:22 PM

I understood your point Gromit - I was referring to the comments that Markus might not include it if it's not done now. He said himself he would include it in the first major release.

Henry

Gromit · 04-01-2004, 05:23 PM

Thanks, Henry.

Folderol · 04-01-2004, 05:24 PM

SO, I didn't read through 11 pages of postings, but what was the outcome? Should I just go download it now?

Folderol!

Gromit · 04-01-2004, 05:27 PM

Not yet...

Treches · 04-01-2004, 05:33 PM

I say release the game when it was first scheduled and with the features it was first planned to sport. I don't really see the point to set up this poll, to be honest; the outcome was pretty obvious to predict.

Mariner and Giants Fan · 04-01-2004, 05:43 PM

I want it NOW! NOW! NOW! Umm and it is ok with me if you don't add H2H until OOTP7

SSG Troyer · 04-01-2004, 05:43 PM

If the rest of the game is done (and I mean done), I vote for release.

But if there is a chance that, over the week or three that H2H is deveoped/tested, some other issues the testers are aware of could be corrected, then perhaps delay is the better answer.

Personally, I don't forsee using H2H. I've never joined an online league, and don't plan to. H2H is meaningless to me.

Markus, you wanted to get a feel for the community's mood on this issue. You've got it. Give it whatever weight you choose, and run with it. Best wishes.
