Maybe a sub-thread that is locked (only uploaders/mods/staff can post) and only houses weekly updates, other patreon posts, etc. ?
You think the theories and discussions are bad, wait until the episode actually comes out and there are hundreds of posts asking for links and saves and help with bugs related to the game and modsThere should be a thread only for this kind of posts. When people comes to this kind of popular games looking only for some information about release dates have to dive into dozens of post of theories, discussions and things that are not useful information. It would be good two separated threads: one for useful information only, with posts like this one, and another one for debate and theories.
With an estimated size of 18 GB for episodes 1-8 and DPC already implementing a system to handover saves from coming episode 8 to next episode 9, DPC should consider to split episodes 1-8, too, e.g. into season 1 (1-4) with 6 GB and season 2 (5-8) with 12 GB. (For an even split, 1-5 and 6-8 would be better, or a split into 3 parts 1-4, 5-6, 7-8.)Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.

- Out of 28 animations left to render, DPC managed to produce 17 (60%) with 11 left; meaning an other week.
- Basically, seems like it still have about 2 weeks of polish and cooking before betatesting.
- Checking the last 3 EPs, the betatest period before a release is about 7 to 10 days.
- Seems like we are now indeed in the 3-Weeks™ period. And with all optimism, October window is dead.
- 11-16 November seems to be the more valid estimate as today. 18-25 November if catastrophic.
- We had 6 out 8 or 6 out 12 rooster preview, who steadily release about each 3-4 days. One might drop tomorrow.
Trivia: as today EP8 ring a 6 month development time; 26 weeks.

I don´t think are bad. If people like them, great, have fun. I´m just not interested, specially when I only want to know if there are any news about a game. I would like that popular games would have a thread only with news and maybe, if the mods are able to keep it clean, helpful information about the game, like help with bugs. And another one for debate, discussion and things like that. I don´t like to waste time searching among hundreds of memes, theories and fights about the best Li, when I´m just trying to know if there are any news about the game from the dev, or if someone knows a way to fix a bug.You think the theories and discussions are bad,
If you only use the search button looking for the N7 you will easily find the updates of the progress of the chapter... less crying and more learning to do things on your ownI don´t think are bad.

Agreed. An active community like this actually makes it easier to find the answers to you questions. Yes, release speculation might get lost in the conversation, but the People who post here regularly are pretty good at answering questions, sometimes repeatedly, because we know the search bar isn’t great.Where's your community spirit?
Chatting with all these people about the game is almost as good as the game itself.
But if you're just here to grab the game, get people to fix your bugs and then be on your way, of course, don't let us stop you.
By the way, who do you think would be able to help you with issues with the game, if not the enthusiasts that live and breath it?![]()
Well obviously not chatting with you, you're boring, but everyone else here is great.
Thank youWell obviously not chatting with you, you're boring, but everyone else here is great.![]()
An FAQ in the OP might helpThis forum need a Sticky Post function, so mods/staff can stick them on top of all pages
Yeah... if you head down that path, the sticky will be just as long as the entire thread!An FAQ in the OP might help
Something like:
Q - Any news?
A - Weekly updates from DPC are posted by N7 every Friday
Q- Release?
A- DPC does not give a release date until a couple of days before release, see N7's posts for more information
Q - Is Jill MC's Aunt
A - MC and Jill are not related
Feel free to add your own
It's true that a specific value for frequent would need to be established (and kept up to date, the question about being unable to apply the update patch due to an unren'd leaked version would no longer apply) but I feel there must be 10 questions that, if covered in an FAQ, and then nuked, would reduce the size of the thread by 25% minimumYeah... if you head down that path, the sticky will be just as long as the entire thread!![]()
