gswift Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The EaW team from Petroglyph is doing a last-minute question and answer session this evening on the lucasarts.com EaW forum. Here's a link to the details: http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?threadID=104239&tstart=0 I'm curious to find out why they are doing this so suddenly. I'm guessing that they either have good news about a patch, or there's not going to be a patch any time soon, and they are trying to let us know that they're doing the best they can. A quick note: I've seen a BUNCH of people posting about technical problems that have been addressed in Yoda's help desk over on the lucasarts site. If you're having problems with your disk, mouse, or video you should check this out: http://yodashelpdesk.lucasarts.com/os.asp?sid=112129060223198070194002&pid=1491&pnm=Star+Wars+Empire+at+War Ironically, when I first read the news about the dev chat on lucasarts.com's forum, the post right below the announcement was from someone looking for a no-CD crack. I tried to inform the moderators, but I couldn't find any way to contact them. After looking for 15 minutes, I just gave up. This forum is SO much better than any other I've seen. Thumbs-up to the people in charge here, and to the users who help to make this a great community. Edit: Here's a link to the thread, it's too big to post here: http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?threadID=104239&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athanasios Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Just don't waste questions on "Wow! The best game! How did you feel working on it now that it's out?" or "How i rotate the camera?"........................................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gswift Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got yr PM gswift thanks. It was on the frontpage as news on the site but with the forums being slow today, put off posting it here. Yeah, I waited a while for one of you to post it as a sticky, but decided to go ahead and make it a regular post since time is running out. It's already getting late on your side of the pond, and I wanted to give as many people as possible a heads-up. I just joined last month. Has this site always had trouble, or is this something new?

Apocalypse|TFL Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I won't be up that late tonight, got an early start tomorrow. Can someone ask them for me; How do you plan to make the multiplayer aspect better than it is now (i.e will there be an improved buddy list, better connection, more options for setting up skirmishes?) revamp my question any way you feel best. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 the site has been slow due to the traffic. I found out today, that we are one of the most visited places in the world and empireatwar.net gets more visits than the official site! People visiting lucasforums is up 147% with 60,000 already visiting today at some stage. We have put these forums on registered members only for the time being.

Orao Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 After 2 DEV chat I have no more beleives in this one. Either they have never received some crucial questions either those questions were too sensitive in their eyes so we never got an awnser. One thing I would like to know though is when they will release mod tool aka SDK files ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmaster3265 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 What time will it be for central? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athanasios Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I found out today, that we are one of the most visited places in the world.... Omg! No offence taken, but i thought that sightseeings such as Chinese Wall, Eiffel Tower, Parthenon, Niagara Waterfalls etc were the most visited places in the world... Woa, im so behind.... "-Airport agency there?" "-Yes. What can we do to assist you sir?" "-What can you do to assist me?? Just cancel my pre-ordered gold-member tickets for that Chinese Wall and the World Cup 2006 and find me the best sit for EaW.net!!!" "-Erm...just a minute sir to call the executive assistant..." "-Yeah, sure..." *Phone closed* "-Eh, miss? Miss?...." But indeed, LF forums have many stability issues. Many times i got the "database error" message or my browser freezes when i try to post messages through the advanced view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Torpid-PG Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 After 2 DEV chat I have no more beleives in this one. Either they have never received some crucial questions either those questions were too sensitive in their eyes so we never got an awnser. One thing I would like to know though is when they will release mod tool aka SDK files ? Many times the questions ask things that are just plain unanswerable at the time. In other cases the same question gets asked many times, or would take too long to answer within the time frame. Also, when you have that many people asking questions and one guy typing the answers, it gets bogged down a bit I try to catch the questions asked here when I can since I know the other guys are pretty busy and live chats can only do so much. As to your question above, I can't really give you an exact release date other than "soon". I can say that the modders should be very pleased with the package.

gswift Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 This was the closing coment of the dev chat. I'm anxious to see what they have in store for us. There have been several cryptic references to 'more stuff' in recent interviews and chats, here's one more... We've got to run, but we're watching the forums very closely. The will be continuing to support the game with updates (and more!). Keep posting! Check back to the official site for the latest updates and information. We have exciting things planned. If you want to guess, or make suggestions, please start a new thread. However, if you work for Petroglyph or Lucas, hints would be welcome!
