Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. (Jan 22nd)

Silirrion gave the community a little update yesterday:

A Quick Update

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

I just wanted to give you all a quick update on where things are at with the current update schedule as we head into the weekend. I noticed a few 'what is happening when?' question over the last week off the back of the last community letter, so wanted to give you all an update on what the release plans are.

There will be a very small 3.2 update for some minor fixes and additions shortly, most likely next week. This is just to tie of a few of the outstanding we didn't want to leave until the next major Update.

The next major update will then be released to the test servers for public testing. This should happen over the next couple of weeks hopefully. This is the update that includes the DirectX 10 version of the client as well as the usual combination of new content, fixes and tweaks that come with a major update version. Preliminary update release notes will be available on the test server forums when it is released there. When the update is released to the live servers will depend on how the public testing progresses.

Based on FC's past performance, announcements of things to come are not good news.  FC hasn't earned the right to be believed. Too many have resubbed in the past for content about to be released that either never was or was pushed back several billing cycles.

You know what would be good news? DX10 being implemented successfully. Once its done its good news. Before hand, not so much.

Posts like this are so ridiculous. You don't even have the slightest idea what you're talking about.  You've fallen in with the herd of negative nancies and you're just chuggin along beside them. 

DX10'll be on the test servers, they'll iron out the rest of the huge bugs, and it'll hit the Live servers not long after that.

And it'll be grand.  "Oe noes!"

I got my DX10 machine, buying a graphics card for it here soon.

Even if you're right, that doesn't make me wrong. Are you arguing that FC has a good record of actually doing what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it?

Perhaps you missed the point of my post is that a mere announcement from FC doesn't count for much.

The herd of negativity you acknowledge exists for a reason.

When DX10 is successfully deployed that'll be great, but you'd be a un-wise to count on FC's announcement.

Well if your looking at their recent history then Yes they actually do have a quite good track record...

Am I the only one you finds all these "DX10 is coming soon" news actually insulting? I mean DX10 was supposed to be there at launch and we've been hearing for many months now how "DX10 is coming soon". It pisses me off. Same thing happened with pvp system.

Why can't they just stfu until the new content is actually on testlive?

Game is too new to have a 'recent' history significantly separate from its total history. FC would need to do its job properly for quite a while before they regained trust.
