Colony Release Delayed (Monday Maybe)

Just saw this and thought I’d forward it along.

Hopefully, it will come to pass, but it’s good to remember that not everything goes to plan. Looking forward to the release!

> We can’t 100% confirm yet - the target has always been “the 3rd Wednesday” of the month but that’s always dependent on final cert and test passes. The team is still pushing for release this week but at this point I can’t definitively say tomorrow. @ske7ch343

Edit:

The update is delayed:

> It’s officially not tomorrow, sorry to say. Team is still working through some test and cert stuff but at this rate it’s most likely going to be released on Monday. @ske7ch343

Colony Release Update

Jeez

I’d appreciate it being released tomorrow, but I do have more time to play on Thursdays :slight_smile:

Thanks for the update Plastic, you’re the MVP

So… not happening tomorrow. RIP.

They may get a lot of it done today and tonight. These guys are good at what they do and are putting a lot of effort into the game.

whats the point of the 3rd of the wednesday if this is going to always happen they did this to the last DLC

:frowning:

From what I understand, the certification process is out of their control and unforeseen issues can arise.

However, you make a valid point. Perhaps it would be better to give themselves more time and release every six or eight weeks with a hard deadline? To me, a couple days one way or another isn’t a big deal, just as long as they’re upfront about it and communicate (and ske7ch is doing a good job of that).

Im just happy to get something new each month…Iv’e never really played a good game were this was the case. We know the content will be of good quality so if you think about it this way, it helps make the time pass.

Bad news. Looks like the update is delayed:

Well, at least I’ll have an extra weekend to see if I can reach Champion on 2’s hahaha.

Someday 343i will meet a deadline.

It works for just about everything.

I can understand that stuff needs to be polished but that’s 2 leaders that have been delayed in a row. They might as well put it to the 4th Wednesday of every month.

Ok everyone have a look at this thread. Officially addressed by ske7ch

Exactly what I’m wondering.

They would have had 1 extra week to make Kinsano which is when she came out in the end. Colony is coming out 2 days before the 4th week. If the next leader is the 3rd Wednesday they’ll have less time between Colony and it than the 4th week.

Okay - but you know that if they will release every leader now at the 4th week they will only have one time a extra week…

Or how I would say; they have MS behind them so why can’t they finish their work in time? they said 3rd week Wednesday and cant hold their promise [where people like me paid for] and Deadlines…

With their actual game politic, 343 and Microsoft are really close to EA what’s actually Bad for halo

i was little disappointed that colony and the patch not came yesterday but I can live with it and its better if there are no bugs in this game because I love this game
so I can wait little longer :grin:
I thought about halo wars 1 first
when arbiter ripa moramee said they can delay no longer at the ice relic haha
