Another "Any new news thread"

[Cyaneyed]

Please excuse the deceptive title, but it seems like generally these are the ones that catch the dev's eyes these days

No, MGM has done nothing of the sort.

It's monday, the start of a new week. Couple of days away from a new month. 34 days since the last screenshots were posted (two fortnights and six days), and nineteen (fortnight and five days) days since the thread Khestral made was locked. tkksnow has been active, personable and helpful in this period of time.

I understand how stretched things are right now for you guys and I don't make this post with any air or intention of showing impatience; simply, I just wondered when we can expect to hear something from Khel. I know timescales aren't the buzzword in these parts but...mondays are good days to give us something morale boosting

(mods please edit the title of this thread if you feel it's necessary, was just for dramatic/ironic effect re: other threads)

[rotoplumper]

Yes during this time we have had lot of unofficial info telling us doom and gloom. No official doom and gloom however.

A reassurance that the game will be coming out would be great. Just a little light in the middle of the blackout. If only to say hi.. we're still alive.. game is being worked on.. we'll be in touch with you when we can would be awesome.

Thread title changed - next time try something that's not going to get the thread flamed.

News will come when it comes. And the answer to your question will be the news itself.

[Sarizaddi]

To add something new to the content of similar recent posts...Can we maybe get Goa'uld screenshots next time? I'm sure they are going to put goa'uld in the game, but it's been so long since I've seen mention of them and they weren't in the first stage of beta...so maybe we could get something on them to prove they still exist?

I was going to suggest we offer up a Christmas list of what screenshots we'd like to see, so that when they next introduce screenshots, maybe they can generate some answers and some speculation to renew conversation based on what we'd gossip about.

Yes, we were foolishly promised screens 'roughly' every couple of weeks and yes Khestral is taking an awfully long time to compile some information for us - add it to the growing list of disappointments from CME.

This is exactly what I've been talking about over the past few months. It's nice to see some more people's eyes opening to the reality of the situation, rather than blindly following.

[Supremeaaron]

Renfail why do you say some people here are blindly following. I say the majority here have concerns about CME but prefer to keep it to themselves. Im sure the problems are puting a strain on the employees and would probably want to see a pay cheque then see fans constantly remind them they keep missing deadlings. I say Khestral is getting info but as QA director im sure he has his hands full.

eyes have always been open.. just don't see the point of being constantly negative

QFT

it will come when it comes, if it comes.

There is nothing we can do to change that, no amount of prasing or bashing will change that.

just a thought... has anyone checked to see if he still works there?

It might be worth a phone call

*waits to hear the spin put on the reasons people are having to wait so much longer than the "roughly every two weeks" and the reason why no one has heard from Khestral, despite his red-herring post regarding information that they were going to give the fans at the start of June*

[Cyaneyed]

I think the title this thread was changed to is a little derogatory, I made the thread in a way that clearly shows I know what's going on, it's not for a second a 'hi guys is the game still here lololol' thread. To pick my post out of a mire of other posts and label it so chastisingly is a little unecessary. Also, the title wasn't flame bait, it was quite the opposite. Like calling a thread '###' and the first line being 'made you look...'.

My eyes have been open the whole way, just different people have different tacts in how they approach the situation.

I like that idea, so long as they have the time to do it and it wont end up being dropped like WtM was.

EDIT -

Yes he's still here. Apparently.

Maybe I'm waiting for you to start being nice and lighten up a bit

[Estarial]

Try taking off a few months...then you'll have 20 pages of threads to read through.

I've been working a tad too much myself, and finally decided to check back in. Nice to see I wasn't left too far behind. It'll take me the entire week i'm off just to catch up. Nice to see you're still hanging around Khestral. Missed you guys.

I just did that! not much has changed

[Cyaneyed]

Glad to see you back around, Khel. I hope the dwindling spirit of this thread hasn't soured the original sentiment any

There aren't enough coffee pots in the world for that D:.

Don't let me stop you. There are hundreds of other fans who have been here since 2006 waiting for something concrete. You owe it to them more than you owe it to me.

Nice try at an excuse, though

Hey, guess what: If you had just left that last part off, that would have been a passable post. Hey, guess what: the adding of that last sentence made that a snide and sarcastic post.

Back on topic, I think it'd be great to see some SGW stirring info. I couldn't be more glad that it's coming soon Khest. Just please don't wait til RF says something nice because I strongly doubt RF saying something nice in these forums is even much of a possibility.

Soon. I wonder if that's the "soon" that was translated when we were told "screenshots every two weeks", which turned into "roughly every two weeks", which in fact has turned into "35+ days and counting".

Or the "soon" from the list that was compiled back at the first of June, but has yet to surface.
