Update Speculation thread

I do hope we get a teaser today... Or the update

 

neither I'm afraid

 

i was expecting to see one today

 

I mean we got one sunday lol

 

what if.. update coming in new year

 

Then I hope there wil be a bit more content and a few more teasers

 

Although some may be left disappointed, IMO being transperant is crucial in cases like this so we have some idea of the situation

 

To be fair, The DEVS would NEVER leave us hanging, From what i understand the update is delayed?
WELL that is all fine with me! DOnt get me wrong am hyped BUT it is what it is

Plus the poor devs are humans to, working there butts off for us,

SO i guess i can play mafia 2 now, and if it drops ( the update ) then awesome. If its next week awesome, If its next year, awesome. because am just happy the game exists and is getting worked on

 

I also think that good communication is better, it's more engaging and creates a connection (nothing fancy eh).

Being transparent is, of course, not just saying how things are, they have to filter information to report them to us.
This is to say that they can be transparent and still create false expectation, that they themselves have.

Teasers are really nice and create a lot of engagement, they also create expectation, regardless of how much time elapses between teased and released content.

Maybe they could do a dev-diary of what they are working on. The medium alone would distance the information from the feeling that it's close to done that you get when you see something (I know they have some about long-term topics)

Doing so you lose the anticipation and engagement, but also people will be less disappointed. To be honest I don't think this disappointment should have much impact, it goes away swiftly as it comes and it might be mostly carried-away writing.

TL;DR Get me more teasers

 

I think if anyone is disappointed by transparency then they're the problem, right? Don't reduce teasers because children want everything now.

I guess if worst comes to worst. just post teasers on the forums and leave Instagram and Youtube out of it. And make them technical graphs or physics data that won't get kids suckered into hype cycles. I've seen this conversation on here before.

 

Please don't get bugged by a bunch of random fans getting impatient. You guys are the professionals, your timeline is better than ours.
--- Post updated ---

there are posts in this style already in the same thread that teasers are posted. I would personally love more of that kind of thing @stenyak

 

I suspect that you didn't intend to repeat yourself multiple times in unrelated messages, but I suggest you proof read your posts before submitting them. As Stenyak showed, being repetitive in a negative way can cause the devs to reduce information if they think its doing more harm than good.

I think some disappointment is inevitable regardless of what you do as devs, given the unusual number of literal children in the BeamNG playerbase. Most people seem to have fun with the teasers, so I don't think we're at a point where teasers and other info need to be reduced.

 

Supporting Roblox is like a chicken defending KFC, plain and simple. I don’t support Roblox for what they’re doing whatsoever. I honestly think the CEO and Chief of Safety sucks and are doing a bad job, and the updates Roblox rolls out are very questionable to say the least (the age check update for example).

 

I know, right? First teaser shows up and everyone's like "wow update today or next week". There is no set release date for any of the updates. And a teaser being posted doesn't necessarily mean the update is just around the corner.

 

Exactly! Transparency always helps in building a healthy relationship.
Not to mention that children can be quite unpredictable in terms of how easily their feelings change. At one moment they like something a lot and at the very next moment they hate it with passion. And they're really superficial at that too, in most cases it feels like an iceberg. They hate something without properly paying attention to why that something is the way it is.

 

I dont want to know what 0.40 could be , I just wanted to know if they planned that far , out of curiosity !

 

Honestly, please take your time. I understand how complex something like this could be, don't feel pressured by us users to rush something out. I'm in complete favor of large machines and I'm happy we're getting them in the near future, whether that's in days, weeks or months - I've been anticipating this addition for years now, and now that it's finally coming, we can most definitely wait a bit longer.

We can only see the finished result, not the effort that goes into creating it.

 

I bet 0.40 will add airplanes (possibly the new vehicle) and possibly tire thermals maybe?

 

take as much time as you need to get it ready, ignore the impatient.
