Relax man, when 1.18 is ready they'll release it.

Ranting like this won't help.

FFS, posters like you IRGhost about this game really PISS me off!

I'll tell you why...

I paid £40 for a product that does not function anywhere near its advertised functionality!

Now, IRGhost, imagine that you go to a restaurant, that came recommended, because maybe you went there about 5 years ago and it was great.

You went to the same restaurant on launch day of X-Rebirth, checked out the menu. The menu advertised wonderful, tasty food and you thought to yourself "The food here looks great! I am really going to enjoy this!"

So the waiter brings your much anticipated meal and you start to eat.

The meal is awful, way below expectations and the waiter is NOT interested in your complaint!

How would you feel about that, eh?

So, my point, is twofold:

1. Egosoft have released a defective product and they better put it right asap. Do NOT dare to accuse people who have bought this product as "ranting" about its appalling state upon release. AND...

2. The OP was correct!

bitch all you what,You still have to pay the bill!!!

If they're not releasing it, it means they're testing it... take a break, play something else.

still if the food is not good the 2nd time around you can ask the chef for a new plate that’s better than the 1st. that’s what’s happening here but you have to give it some time they are working on a patch we all know it they are doing their best. Still asking for a update every now and then is not that bad ofc

Being angry will not solve anything, just have some faith that they are doing all they can mate

Listen: This game, that I paid for, that took SEVEN years of development, should have been released as bug-free as possible. The opposite is true,

SIMPLE AS THAT.

1. Get refund
2. ???
3. be just as mad at something else

Also stop preordering, because it encurages releasing unfinished products.

I agree the game was released in a piss poor state; but for gods sake man, use Google before you post.

Anybody remember a PC games company called Microprose? Games that came on a dozen floppy disks and then a few months later there would be a patch disk that came through the post? Another patch disk coming through the post again a couple of months later?

It is a shame that this game isn't perfect. However, I do feel a bit sorry for Berndt. More beta testing should have been done but this is now hindsight.
The team is pulling out all the stops in trying to perfect it.

People have every right to complain and even ask for their money back. When the sort of millions are spent on some of the games that we see now then we have every right to expect a polished product. It is just a shame that Deep Silver and Egosoft have made a mistake with this. I'm sure they will learn from it and the team will soort the bugs.

Good luck Berndt and team

I'M SO ANGRY!!!

Wait, hold on. It would seem I'm happy and content in my life and appreciating the efforts of others. Darn it, I'm posting in the wrong thread! What's this one? Oh, patch release 1.18. Wait, not 1.18! I hate that number, it's not even an integer!!! I'm getting angry, you won't like me when I'm angry!

Without searching that hard is right. Maziou pretty much beat me to the punch here, but again I'll repeat what I said hopefully it'll sink in soon. Have you considered just getting up, and walking away from the PC? Because right now you're acting like a fool, and it's embarrassing and cringe-worthy to watch to be perfectly honest with you.

Tripp_UK wrote:... engage your brain first before you engage your fingers.

So instead of complaining about this game, I decided I'll try my luck at seeing if Egosoft could use an extra BETA tester. I'd rather do something constructive with my time. Responding to this uninformed individual serves only to waste my time, to be quite honest, and I think this is last post I will make toward this... (Can't be insulting due to ToS) Person.

Oh and Lardybloke:- Hell yes I remember that.

I fear that a lot of people are waiting for this patch like some sort of the mythical "miracle patch" and will be disappointed.
Don't expect too much. Probably it'll create as many bugs as it'll solve old ones and things will keep going this way for the coming weeks and months.
Let's just keep our feet on the ground.
Sincerely, I'm rather skeptic about the chances that this game can turn out as we would like but patches' countdown rants aren't useful as well.

Please tell me which X release took them 7 years to complete except for X Rebirth?

No? Right.

Then please tell me which other X release has been as buggy as X Rebirth at launch?

Ok then.

Maybe we have a reason to be angry and disappointed.

Lets hope they improved upon their "testing" methods then - considering what shape the game was released in. Im using the term "game" and not "stinking pile of dogpoo" because i dont want more QQ from the newfags and fanboys.

Like the statement there because there are indeed alot of QQ going on. Beside that let's just hope they make this patch good without new bugs popping up. Keep you chin up all

Oh and btw I love your signature haha.

Seriously, you expect the game to be fixed today? Give them time, we dont want rushed patches for sure!

We are all in the same boat, and bitching aint going to make it move faster.

I think he means the endless QQ about "oh noes, this is a console port".

cant tell you any x game that took 7 years but you do have to take into account that egosoft have developed a brand new engine for xrebirth all the others used existing engines

Beta testing is not 'hindsight'. Everything needs beta testing. This did not even make it to beta to be tested anyway.

I agree that Egosoft should just take their time patching, but come on, communicate already. It's getting a little ridiculous.

There should be a sticky post with daily updates on whats happening. This isn't going to make fixing it faster, but it also doesn't take much time, and it would help understanding the process behind the scenes.

I think full disclosure is always better than silence.
