A little mental exercise in letting things come to me instead of worrying + complaining loudly over so many things in advance, because I've definitely been that person lots of times, and it didn't do me any favors:

I'll keep calm + wait for release.

This is a huge game, made by hundreds of people. Chances are that it *will* contains things I don't like, that I find missing or poorly implemented, and yes, especially that one detail I find so very damn important, if not even fundamental for my enjoyment.

I try to accept that as the very likely outcome. And I accept that it will not make me feel better to handwring or write outraged posts over it. I'll just see what I find when the game launches, then I'll enjoy all the great and many things that *are* there, and done well and done right.
Then maybe I'll evaluate what I think I'm missing, and then maybe give measured feedback.

And I believe this approach is much, much better for my health than anything else. x)

I take it this is a not so subtle "KEEP CALM PEOPLE" to those you perceive as getting upset?

Oh, yeah. There's a bunch of things not to my taste or preference. All minor things that, arguably, are fussed over too much - and I am guilty of this, too. Not going to stop me, I'll love this regardless. I'll play it as it was designed and come to conclusions more grounded. And, by the time this won't be patched every few weeks - I'll mod the nuisances out and declare perfection.

Keeping calm is another thing entirely, though. I'm so excited find myself dreaming about this. 20 Years of waiting, inredible prospect and only two more weeks to go.


Fear my wrath, for it is great indeed.

Release is on 3rd August, we know that.
But at what time? Will different Regions have different release times based on their time zone?

I hear you... I also have this ONE f****** thing that I just want them to implement. Just one thing. And if they did.... this would not only be Game of the Year, it would quite possible be the best game I have ever had the pleasure to play. And it just keeps annoying me soooo much that we can't have it (or at least not as it looks now). So yeah. You are right. Keep calm + Wait for release.

It seems like review copies are being sent on the 28th so at least we're getting all the release info a week earlier xD
