octane final release date?

[naik3d]

Hey folks,

is there any time schedule where we can see the rough
final release date for octane?

Also it would be cool to know, what features the final release will have.

cheers

Thanks matej.

Oh man, another fanboy again.
Dude relax before you get an heartattack.
I think it is not a crime, asking for a rough time
line, when the Dev Team is planning with a real Final
release. It's really funny and also ridiculous
how some users are defending this software
like they are co founders.

The progress of octane is fine, no reason
for complaining, but at the end, this is still
beta, and it would be cool to know if they
are planning like 2 months or maybe 8 months.
No more, no less.

It's hard to set a final date, because of unforeseen complications (like all the complications that arose form migrating to CUDA 3.2). That's why they wont say anything about dates - and it's better this way. Picture what would happen if they set a date and wouldn't deliver - we would e-tan their hides

The reason Blizzard delivers such great games is because their release date is; when it's done. (I'm not saying it's not a pain to wait, though )

Sorry, we can't say when 1.0 final will be available. It's not that we don't want to, but software development usually never goes according to the plan, so it doesn't make any sense to state any dates until it's done. All I can say is, that we want to finalize 1.0 as soon as possible. Obviously.

Cheers,

There will be at least another beta 2.5. Everything else after that I can't say at the moment.

guys, please don't mix it up what i'm saying.

I'm not asking for a date like 23.04.11 - please reread my post.
I'm talking about "ROUGH" time plan.

So in fact, i know blizzard very well, because i'm coming from that industry and actually
know very well the saying " When it's done" but it must be possible to tell the user base
if the final release will come out THIS year or maybe NEXT year.

If that's still too specific regarding the date, than sorry - that is ridiculous.

cheers
