I don't want to be a downer here but I feel like my excitement for WWI has peaked and receded.  I hope being 6 weeks behind schedule hasn't built up expectations too much, or there will be some sorely disappointed pilots. 

Dang, how pessimistic of me.  :headscratch:

Remember, the glass is half full!

I don't think HTC should announce stuff like this ahead of time,just release it when done.It made them look bad with combat tour,and saying we would have WWI before new year and we still don't have ,is going to lead to some disappointment.

But with that being said.

I'm still very exited, and thankfull to HTC for the work done on this and i cant wait to play.

Yeah I was really surprised when they gave any kind of date on having it ready by, HTC usually doesn't do that, for exactly this reason.

I am the opposite of this.  I would rather have them say we are working it and hope to have it out ASAP and actually take a little longer than ASAP, as opposed to having them say nothing at all about anything being developed.

Having said that I could really personally benifit from some new content in this game.  I hope they can muster out the new stuff here within at least a few more weeks.

They never gave a release date for the WWI arena.  All they stated was that they hope to get it out by the New Year, that's hardly a release date set in stone.

Release of the WWI planes is expected before the end of the year although it will not be in the next version release.

lol, they stated  "before the end of the year". They did not specify 'this' year, it could be any year, just at the end of it... you could be waiting a long time :).

"Is expected" is hardly the same as "will be released" when it comes to development releases.

I have to admit i'm looking forward to flying those ww1 planes.  I really curious about how correct the modeling will be. Theymay be a handful to fly at first.

Though, with the WW1 arena also being used as a de facto test server,  I think we'll actually see it released during our life time.

Most of the new releases, IIRC, were on Tues-Wed to allow time for quick patches.

Hm-mm.... Castor Oil... Now that you mentioned it, I've read somewhere, that inhaling the Castor Oil fumes during flight had the same effect it is known to have if digested. Wouldn't it add some realistic atmosphere to get a sip before playing? Not to mention the boost in personal hygiene, cartoon pilots being forced to daily change their undies and take a shower after flight. Of course true HC  :joystick: geeks wouldn't care...

If you can smell the castor oil, you're not drunk enough to fly an aeroplane.

They simply released the expected before the expected release.  :D

Speaking of the WWI arena, I had the weirdest dream last night. I was at some sort of press conference, and all I remember was Pyro saying it will be released on friday and that they were going to be directing a documentary of some sort.

Very weird dream. So HTC, whats really going on? ;)
