Post and discuss all Jagex Twitter updates here!

[GottaGetDownOnfriday]

Perhaps you should all get a life and go outside instead of constantly hitting f5 on the front page? :rolleyes:

 

 

Pfft. Real geeks code an application which automatically refreshes the page every 5 seconds then tweets/sms's/im's them when an update happens.

[strilmus]

Or....just use one of the many browsers that already come with that feature built in. :P

[Dragonlordjl]

If they PLANNED to release it in Wednsday, it sure as hell would have been nice if they would tell us that on Monday so we aren't constantly checking the frontpage in anticipation of an update we are looking forward to. Yeah some kids would rage if that plan didn't pan out because they would assume it was a promise but meh, they rage anyway so who the hell cares.

They'd need to say "we're planning to release it later in the week" instead of "on a specific day" in case the QA team takes a rare break from the golf course and decides to check the update over. There would be lots of rage if they said "We are planning to release it on Wednesday" and then when Wednesday rolled around, they said "We found some unexpected bugs in the update, so we had to delay it a few days."

[Obtaurian]

I'm just annoyed because I can't stand training dungeoneering with the current experience rates. Once this update comes out, I'll be able to tolerate world 117 enough to finally get my rapier. <_< I didn't really care when the clue scroll update was delayed for two weeks or whatever, 'cause clue scrolls don't directly affect the way I play. Dungeoneering, however, does.

[Toad]

Obvious fakes, there's no self respecting staff member would call themselves Mod FireC? despite that certain players in this game *coughs* I wouldnt trust with any information :P

 

if you want the official world look at Mod Emilees post during the day until she either confirms or denys it ;) IRC for update sources? nonononono, full of attention seekers :wink:

 

I do expect it tomorrow if I'm honest, I'll do a week or so to get some of the new reward items, as 120 dungeoneering is and will never be on my priority list. I have a vent full of people willing to go, all 93+ so it should be pretty easy to get the items I want :mrgreen:

5 seconds? that seems a bit ridiculous...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your not going to be first if you wait that long between refreshes :P

I lol'd at the message you would get when it notify you about a update. :D

Dear Shyboy36,

 

No, the game update won't be today, we are hoping to launch tomorrow.

 

I'll be adding a sticky to this forum shortly.

 

Regards,

No Game Update Today!

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hi all,

 

Just to let you know, the game update won't be launched today. Don't worry, the update is still planned for release this week!

 

We apologise for any disappointment caused.

Wow, what a company. Deliberately delaying one of the biggest updates that players can't wait for, good way to suck. :thumbdown: Probably working on graphics again. :rolleyes:

I can wait for it, I could wait until the end of the year for dungeoneering batch 2 :razz:

Patience is a virtue.

 

Big updates DO take some time to develop and test, you know.

I'd like to see it before my military service starts :rolleyes:

[Triquos]

And that's why I don't stay up for updates anymore. They hype something up, then fail to launch it on time. Time and time again. #-o

You know what is even more frustrating, not only do they hype things up huge, and constantly fail to deliver, they also announce at the ABSOLUTE latest hour that it won't be ready, after I have waited for it the 3rd day in a row. It isn't as if they encountered some new problem 20 minutes ago that disallowed them from releasing this update. They knew just as well earlier today that it wouldn't be released. How about they put a [bleep]ing twitter hint earlier than after the usual time in the morning when updates are released? This is tiresome and disappointing. Jagex can go [bleep] themselves. I am ok with them taking the time to straighten things out occasionally but don't make us wait, be honest. All of this has to do with their inexcusable business model where they work updates AFTER they announce then. These updates should already be ready and the only thing they should be doing is last minute testing. Not [bleep]ing making up half the update the week before it is supposed to be release. So yeah, to all those apologists, it IS their fault for having a [cabbage] business model.

Actually they announced it quite early today.

[Omali]

It's okay, you'll have plenty of time when the update comes out to cry about how the update sux and jagex sux and the game sux and you hate jagex and their faces are stupid and their faces sux and their kids are probably embarrassed because their parents sux and so do their games and faces.

It was announced like an hour ago(unless I am mistaken), on the day of the update when people were expecting the update, refreshing constantly. That seems to me to be the absolute latest they could have possibly done. How is that early in any sense of the word? If I am mistaken then ignore this post.

Because it was announced at approximately the very earliest that updates ever come out on a given day. Meaning people really should not have been waiting very long.
