呃,目前我们不想给出预计时间。开发补丁花的时间一定会很紧凑,但是不管花在开发上的时间多少,测试肯定会使补丁发布时间变得不确定。开发,发布,就是这么一回事儿。
貌似现在一些人对这个补丁的目的存在一定的误解。我们在许愿贴中写“大补丁”似乎让人觉得我们要的是加入新的一章,或者一个新的地牢,或者别的什么让人一看就觉得是个比较大的内容补丁,而不要其他小的改动了,例如修补bugs。我们可不是这个目的。“大补丁”只是来修饰这个补丁将是个内容补丁,但不代表我们就不需要改动进行错误的修补和其他调整了。bug修补,改错,调试,这些我们都要。
究竟我们要的是bugs还是你想要加入的新内容,可能是比较模糊不清,但是说到具体日期,我还是不能给出来。
英文原稿:
Hrm, well I wouldn’t expect an ETA to be given. Development time on this patch is going to be tight, but regardless of how much time is spent on development alone, the testing could toss it back and forth for an indeterminate amount of time. Such is the fact of development and release.
Not that anyone’s going to read this, and not like it makes a difference now to the 72 page thread in the suggestion forum, but it seems the text describing the patch was misunderstood by some. Underlining ‘content’ seemed to give some the impression that we are purely looking for suggestions to add a new act, or a new dungeon, or that there wouldn’t be any changes that one wouldn’t consider ‘content’ such as fixing bugs. That wasn’t the intent. A content patch is simply a description for a patch that is a major release, and not a patch that only makes minor corrections, fixes and tweaks. That doesn’t mean that those corrections, fixes, and tweaks aren’t also what we were looking for though.
The ambiguity therein of what that means specifically to the bugs and content you all have in your noggins makes the head swim, but that’s about as well as I can put it without promising one thing or another.
