You might want to start losing it right away then. What pointed you out to that date anyway?

New build on April 16th with smaller, non-client updates on a regular basis until then.

Source?

Ive heard a lot of rumors it'll be before April 2...if not, i might lose my mind

If anything it should have been before April 2nd to keep people interested. After that good luck getting people away from Defiance (provided it doesn't suck).

it's actually fun and good shooter mechanics too.

Really? Just played beta 3 for a few hours, unless its beta like a CCP beta it's kind of slow and dull, hate the auto aim, and the fighting did not get to frantic level like some corp matches...

why the kitten even get into this?

You know that only CCP knows/has plans for when the next build is.
You know that Not A Single regular player knows anything about timing of the next build.
You know that any players privy to such information would be subject to an NDA.

Stop bothering with these rumors, and just accept that the next build is released when it is released.

I will say fanfest is the rare time ccp overhypes their games.

Ccp is yet to deliver anything promised put frankly even if they do deploy a new build at this point I have no faith it will work and it will take another 6 month's for anything else new to come along. I'm positive in a year or twos time this game will be awsome but I'm afired by that point it will be too late. They can't treat this game like EvE the markets are very diffrent to how eve was when it started they won't have a core base of players to build off if they keep fumbling along like they are.... Others. Companys are fair better at their phases. If dust had kept the NDA shield people are far more forgiving but this is been treated as a finished product and even as a free game its sub par as shown by Sony lack of intrest in promoting the game

Version 0.8 has many many things inbound because all the things ccp was unable to test on the test severs are no longer affected. They have been furoisly mad logging all the stresses the game has had on ccp's tranqulility severs.

I know its hard to belive in that ccp has the best desires for dust to succeede to the point it is a passion. Right now a few teams from eve online are helping with system design. For example plaetary conquest was an eve team feature.

While I have to agree at this time dust could be better and the lack of upcomming updates is leaving more questions than I could safely answer. (though devs talking to is at an all time high) . Time is their enemy as in they do not have enough of it. If you saw that skybox that we are not supposed to see yet you can get a somewat better appreciation for the game as that sky box is near final asset.

God help CCP if they announce a Summer launch for the build at Fanfest because you will see people walk away in droves as they are already tired of the vague hype.

Its not the DEVs that people have issues with, its the marketing team. The DEV team has been quite active on the forums and relaying information that they are allowed to give out. On the other hand, the marketing of this game has been awful at best. SOONGäó has been the biggest botch in customer communication in a long time. Its the proverbial carrot dangling in front of you that you will never get.

Hell, even if they said that the next build would be an April/May timeframe, people would at least calm down a little since they know it will come in a certain slot.

I don't completely agree with Steadyhand, but this sentence seems to me as you must know something we don't.

The only thing confirmed by the Devs so far for 0.8 is PC. Other than that I have not seen any rock solid confirmation of anything else in 0.8. Just a lot of speculation and half promises.

If the Devs are giving you information that we, as a community, are not getting, then either you need to tell us, or they need to stop sharing with just you.

Even if you are just a CCP alt, the manner in which this is conducted is really screwed. Are CCP so incapable of scheduling to know what is or is not going to be in the next build?

The only reason to not elaborate on what you plan for the next build is because you are deeply afraid of making any commitments, because you don't have the confidence to complete it on time, or with what you promise.

If CCP has so little faith in their Dev team to stay on schedule, or not break the game, then why are we even here? Why should I invest anymore money into amateur hour in Iceland/Shanghai? Just because they are making promises of an interesting game?

The really sad thing is, that the committed Eve fans are still buying Merc packs right now. They still need to get their 30 day actives, and spend Aurum on passive boosters to not become disadvantaged.

They are essentially paying a subscription for the beta, and as long as that remains the case, CCP does not need to advance any further. They will have no incentive for pushing forward as long as they are getting their small sliver of reliable income.

So if you want this game to move forward, show CCP that they don't deserve more of your money until they can start to get onto a committed schedule, and actually deliver.
