Quoting Avatar137, reply 99 EDIT: Just saw Spurks' new thread on the Metaverse Maintenance where he states: "Online services will be unavailable for up to 2 hours starting Tuesday Feb. 2nd at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Metaverse, as well as Match reporting, will be unavailable during this time." Could this be an indication of when we might get our grubby little hands on the Beta DLC? It could be but it isn't.

I bet it's fun for you wonderful people at Stardock watching the community guess at when the "beta" for it will come to us. You guys should create a pool forum (No people with inside info can put in to it). And then whoever is closest without guessing late wins.... A $5 off coupon on their next Stardock purchase.... It would just be something fun to do
It could be but it isn't.
I can relate. I'm feeling that XCOM2 is going to drag me in like the last one did... It wasn't pretty.
Ah ha! So it is due out today!!! Thanks for spilling the beans! Because we all know that Wens. is definitely not "early next week", as it is "hump day," or mid-week, so by process of elimination, that means today! Thanks, Mellified_Man, you made me a happy man. and if anyone believes this to be the case, I've got a lovely bridge fro sale in NY with toll booths and everything! You'll make your money back in a couple of years, no problem.
Delaying until thurs would be a tactical error - I feel like the crossover between the xcom and Galciv demographics is probably fairly large!
Is this bridge and toll booths made of colorful blocks which connect together? I like your logic though
Me too, Long wars really dragged me in and locked the doors. I did so much bitching about how hard they made it but could not stop
I think we're all eager beavers.
I've just found a little thing that I think could be changed.
I started up GalCiv3 because, heck, it's Tuesday in NZ, that qualifies as "early next week", so where's me update??! Still on v1.5, which is fine. So I exit: And get told "You're so close", when I hadn't even started a game! Maybe make the questions more turn-dependant: "Too scared to even start a game?" etc
You are so close to starting! a game
I noticed last night that my opt-in status had been removed. Yes, we're getting closer...
EDIT: Never mind, just noticed that it is now back for some reason without me doing anything at all... Those internet gremlins messing with my impatient mind once again... I bet brad programmed them!
EDIT2: Odd, it's gone again...
I noticed that flipping on and off again too.
Sadly by this hour, that's it for the day. No real chance the Stardockians are gonna push out the beta access this late in the day.
Us begging pups are just gonna have to pout and whine for treats without getting any today.
I guess not early in the week
They did say "next week" and Brad is a relativist, so ... "next week" is always "next week"
lol just saying, however, it was more a a joke than anything.... Hopefully tomorrow
From this post
And, again, I point to what I wrote. Next week is /still/ next week, the way tomorrow is still tomorrow, when tomorrow gets here tomorrow is /still/ a day away. Or to put it in a 4X turn-based strategy gamer's perspective:
"Just one more turn ..."
And so the GalCiv3 Forummers were caught in the Desert of Soon, where they would climb one sand dune of Soon only to find another. And another. And another. And.... They would spend their remaining time on this Earth travelling through an endless, limitness, mind-destroying number of Soons, broken only be the occassional Next Week stonefield that would lead them straight back to a Soon sand dune.
Okay guys, stop, you're killing me!
Anything to get you out of the queue that's in front of me! Nothing personal of course....
Great to see old races coming back and the merc mechanic looks an interesting and unexpected boon.
Hope the two races you are adding have their own mechanics and playstyles.
I'm only seeing 1.6 where are the Marc.
Awesome! I can't wait too long for this
Still regretting the slim margin I missed out on the Founders slot, but that's more to play this early than paying for it! I'm looking forward to every part of the expansion, though the Arcean shipset is what I'm most excited for
