I thought it would be out today....
If it doesn't come out tomorrow I wouldn't count on it before the new year.



So here's to hoping they come out tomorrow.... I'm very excited :D

I hope it's released when it's ready and not a day earlier. If it happens to come just before Christmas then yay! If not then I have more gifts to look forward to after the new year.  :)

HiTech made some reference in another thread about something he's still in the process of researching for the WWI planes...no further word about it though.

Any bets on after New Year's day?

I think in that same thread he also mentioned that they are trying hard to get it out before Christmas.  I'm happy that we're getting it so I'm content to wait until it's done.

My guess is that they will miss the new years release because the "november patch" came in december. So I do think they are a week or so after schedule.

I'm with Tex, my guess is shortly after Jan 1st cause by delays getting bugs out of strat system.

Can't wait!

(re: the mention of strat in this topic is regarding potential WWI planes being delayed
DUE to current game strat issues. Not strat for WWI)

People want it and I bet HC could give a rats arse that you don't. Just get over it already
and stop whining in every WWI topic that comes along. You look like a whiner (change
your handle to Sniffler) and it also makes the SAPP look bad too. Which is sad as most
of the SAPP folks that I know are outstanding, stand up kind of people.

Same here I hope that they make it so the only thing you can do is up a fighter in the WWI arena.

they will start off with four airplanes.....add a few later on,
then decide which way to go with it.....just furball.....or add
the strat element to it like in the other arenas.
The Bristol F2b can be used as a bomber or for dog fighting.
Richthofen took a bullet to the head trying to shoot down a F2b....
good thing the bullet only grazed his skull.......ouch. The F2b
was a tough airplane......when compared to the other planes of that
era.

As always, it will be done when its done and released as soon as its done. HTC NEVER gives out dates. Look at how antsy everyone getting because HT said they "hoped" to have it out by the end of the year.

I can't wait either. Last night orange had the bish horde in full swing with most of the rooks fighting the knights in the NW... basically making their own horde  :rolleyes:

Blue had the bish down to a few bases but there wasn't any fighting in the north with the rooks vs the knights. Both sides thought it important to hit the bish  :rolleyes:

Nobody in AvA, early and mid had more GVs running than planes. I logged for the night. At least with WWI there will be one more chance at some fun.

If it's not up by Wendnesday night then I don't think we'll be seeing it until January.  Who the heck wants to be in an office (even HTC's office) on Christmass Eve?  Other players have mentioned in the past that HiTech doesn't do his Santa run on Christmass Eve from the office but from his house (don't know if that's true, but if his account has Admin privs then I'd imagine it being quite doable).  HTC has cranked out a lot of progress/updates already this year, really pushing for the major stuff to be out before the year's end, and the WWI arena will be done when it's done.


Now, since they're making sure it's gonna be perfect for it's release, I want to know how many players/gunners/kegs the Zeplins are gonna hold?  I have dreams of a death-star-plin-party, clearing the skies and raining down empty beer containers with my squadies everywhere we go.

They wouldn't put it up Wednesday either... same reason they don't put things up on Fridays. If there's some issue, someone needs to be around to release a patch. I would think they're expecting some issues with something new like this.

What part of '4 fighter dogfight arena' do you not get? :D (j/k)

Also, according to the homepage, they're not expecting it out by the new year anymore.

From the HI TECH Home page

Work on the WWI expansion is progressing along and will be in the next version. We had hoped to have it completed by the end of this year but we're running a little bit long with development. We expect to have it out in the early part of the year.

"Richthofen took a bullet to the head trying to shoot down a F2b"

Methinks that was a FE2b gunner that nearly killed the Red Baron, Mano. Whatever, here's to you 'n' yours this festive season and hoping that AH WWI develops into something more than just a furballing arena - cheers!
