"Update progress" posts

[Demjugz]

So I was wondering if it's possible to create a topic about how much is left/what's new for the next update, something like this:

"-Day X-

-Gear Chronice and Kagero units are now in
-Most of the new Stride mechanic is ready

Update progress: around 60%

Expected launch date: Day Y"

I think it would stop people from asking "So when's the next update?", which is quite annoying, and it could generate more hype =P

Any thoughts?

(P.S.: Using Trello would also work)

I actually agree on giving us this. I know the questions irritate the coders but the masses would actually shut up some if we had more progress reports or something. Expected Launch Dates might make people mad if they're missed, but it isn't a problem seeing as we'd all be lucky enough to have progress reports in the first place.

It's a good idea indeed.

while it isnt a bad idea, if i was the programmer i would still get pretty upset at someone asking for the progress since it would stress me out.

[Cherry]

It's more of asking "Can you give us progress reports occasionally?" instead of "HEY WHATS THE CURRENT PROGRESS TELL US" like in the Buddyfight thread.

Well, progress reports are actually a very big part of programming, so if you're a professional programmer you literally /have/ to give them. Whether they annoy you or not. And if you get easily stressed programming, you probably shouldn't be a programmer.

I agree that a progress report would be lovely, but since this is not a professional project, I don't know if they'll bother doing it.

all in all i think its best if we dont get any since people then to imagine details out of nowhere.
thinking 90% means it will be out today. a progress update would be good but people tend to take the simplest things way out of hand.

[AloisTrancy]

If anyone thinks 90% means "Will be done today", they're dumb.

There's still 10% left to go, that's a whole tenth of the update not finished.

People take it way out of hand whether we have one or not, at least this way they get a good idea of how far along the update is.

[Demjugz]

Well, that depends if that 10% is actually a big deal or not =P (but I see your point, since it's a big deal most of the time).

What Cherry said, I don't think giving us progress reports occasionally would hurt. Well, it's all up to the programmers.

[AloisTrancy]

10% is almost always big, otherwise there would no point in telling us they're at 90%, since they could just finish the 10 and present the update.

[Jai Hearts]

i gotta agree with cherry and dem on knowing whats coming in the update.

forexemple a list of cards coming, some people can take a look and say hey we have a missing card.

or they say they will add a new system soon and ask for pre release reedback.

[Volkner]

I think is a good idea, especially when the update takes the time 1.68 is taking and there would be less people asking about it.

10% is almost always big, otherwise there would no point in telling us they're at 90%, since they could just finish the 10 and present the update.

That's what I said

thiis is already a week wanna see the report from the programmer again

Nyash is the boss so he doesn't have a boss to report to. However, if someone decides to open up a client, then we will have a new Dn vs KCVDS situation.
