A Statement on the MWLL 0.3.0 Release

A Statement on the MWLL 0.3.0 Release
 
For the past 3 months, the MWLL team has been dutifully working on all of the initiatives for the MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.3.0 Patch update.  Originally intended to be a minor version release (0.2.1) to address balance issues, the team felt that there was more merit in bringing a fully realised update to its fans. One feature led to another and we now find ourselves on the cusp of release... almost.  Although originally stated to be "the end of May" the team feels that at least one additional week is required to ensure proper stability to bring a few final assets to the proper level of polish.  As we stated in our Community Interview, we feel providing a quality product is our guiding rule, and quality requires an investment of time that is one of the most precious commodities of a volunteer team.
 
So, we ask your patience and understanding as we make our final passes through 0.3.0  We feel that this release will easily be the best in terms of breadth of features and renewal of the gameplay experience.
 
Thank you again for your support of MechWarrior: Living Legends!

I do have some other Media Releases planned.
 
We do not have a policy of releasing changelog details prior to a release.  It is infinitely more fun to watch the rampant speculation!   ;D

I understand. Just do what you have to do to make this the best patch yet!

That's ok, I look forward to a barely later and more polished release more than one rushed out the door for a vaguely stated deadline :)

One week is nothing, I look forward to seeding when it comes up!

I suppose I am the only one here happy about the delay...
reason #1 more polish means less annyoing stuff and everything is really working (and I'm not keen on a second 0.2.0...)
reason #2 next week I go to hospital and I was pissed that I will check in there just after the release and you all could already play.

Now all is fine again for me.^^  8)

Folks, he said at least one more week. It's not set in stone.

Hmm, I don't get why some are 'complaining' about the delay.

Sure, I want it myself better today than next year, but...

It just means that they fix things, that they really work on it.
Or does anyone want a bug-feast and a collection of broken stuff?

-> Take your time and get it all proper working. ASAP.  ;)
