    The poll is not relevant, the patch is going to be included in BG2EE thus BG2EE released before BGEE patch would blow up the space-time continuum and we would all become Schrodinger's kittens playing both un-patched AND patched BGEE AND BG2EE


    Edit: cats to kittens for cuteness factor

    So the real question becomes: BGII:EE before apocalyptic, universe-ending doom?

    I think it's been established the patch will be coming before the release of BG2:EE...

    The patch will definitely come first.

    A patch is never late! Nor is it ever early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

    Are you sure you don't confuse it with Chuck Norris?

    1.) [Insert random gaming company] Puts a legal stop to beamdog for whatever reason.

    2.) They won't be able to release any patches or games.

    3.) Someone else makes BG3 and releases it.

    4.) BGEE patch gets released early 2015

    5.) BG2:EE gets lost just like the source codes and we'll never see a final release of the game.

    6.) And they still never tell us anything about Hexxat

    I'll say patch because for some reason I cannot stop thinking about two things:
    1. 2,5 months delay of BG:EE (4 days before release)
    2. That history tends to repeat itself ;].

    More seriously: BG2:EE is supposed to use newest patch's features, so it's only logical for patch to come out first.

    Well well, the ratio is totally against some people:)! If they bet right then the prize should be acumulated XD!

    I think a clue is in the name. As in "what's the Hexxat?" :P

    Where the Hexxat Hexxat at?

    The patch doesn't necessarily have to come before BG2:EE. Keep in mind that at the end of the day, those games are still separate products.

    It makes just as much sense for BG2:EE's features to be retroactively added to BG:EE via the new patch. In fact, we already know of at least one new feature that may not be present in v1.2 (the quickloot bar).

    Welllll.. i begin to really wonder too.. lol.

    I guess after Phase III, there will be Phase IV (test all the potions and see if all ok - free action, speed, etc?!..^)
    ...after Phase IV, Phase V (test all spells! - blue/red shields no damages received at all?! etc..^) )...
    ...after Phase V, well Phase VI (test all the details we maybe missed before! - normal if infinite lvl 5 spell scrolls available at sorc.soundries?! normal if when you sell rechargeable items THEN rebuy, or even better steal them(!) you get totally fully recharged items with 50..even 100 max fresh charges?! normal if you take a
    strength/int/dex etc potions allowing you to use specific items you can't normally use..you can always use them when the effects of the potion/boost go off and the item slot went red again -ex:bows, wand of heavens in quick slots for yeslick, etc?!)....

    well... just smiling... (maybe a lot of that already fixed in the current..heu..well..beta of the beta (i don't know, i could not really have time/access to that one - and my beamdog launcher keeps crashing anyway now, i just noticed that -great lol!- ) ... though..sometimes i....wonder yeah..'wandering', , that's the word i guess.. i love humour too i guess.. *))

    Anyway.. i always said i will only pre-order BG2ee AFTER the new GUI preview in the BG1EE 1.2 new patch 'to come'... i initially thought i would pre-order in november..... well...seems i was not too far away... i just hope i WILL be able to pre-order before nov 15th now, at that space lol...but who knows, life is always magical, jo...)

    Phase IV is a multiplayer test and it's also the last step before release.

    @ Kilivitz
    Thx for the info Kilivitz. so the end of the tunnel is near.. great. i will maybe get my pre-order in time then.. gr8t (as the english kiddies seem to say).. ;)

    btw.. could you check if in beta 1.2 spells lv4/5 (few ones..but very useful ones freeing a lot the mage slots.. i bought 30 spirit armors AND greater malisons like that lol.. even able to just stay in just one pile!.. and a few remove curse/polymorph/chaos etc just in case..just need to use them in a quick slot and..voilàà..^^) AND wands can always be found in infinite numbers in socr sundries?!.. and also if that's normal if you can sell AND rebuy/STEAL immediately those same wands (but also rings or amulets with charges..).. steal them back in one of those BG specialized magic shop near flaming fist headquarter for the steal-back (alora lvl5+..i like her.. not even needing a mastery thief potion too then^) ..with fully recharged wands/rings/amulets..with crazy numbers of new charges 25/50/100 even for some wands... was that normal in vanilla already that?, fixed already in beta1.2?..someone in the beta testers geniuses team could test that quickly too (i say that with total sympathy, no offense intended obviously, hu? *)) ) ?... long time i did not play, but only that is changing the game in ultra easy with a couple of fireball wands with 50 charges, wands of heaven/sleep/fear/MONSTER SUMMONING with 100; fireball medallions with 25, shields medallions with 50, etc, etc... and also the 'red slots always useable after the right little potion' thingie.. normal/fixed too, etc? ^

    thx!... not to be annoying, just to be sure if that's a new or old feature (ok, the red slot thing can only be a bug.. i hope will be fixed with 1.2.. great for dumbo yeslick with his INT7 though.. just need one 'genius' potion to use permanently if wished just ONE wand of heaven charged with 100 then lol.. who said he was totally dumb, that one?!.. *)) ).. and/or the game is definitively ultra easy like that, if so (and intended as such from the start) ?!

    If i understood correctly, the same mechanisms/things will be in BG2ee?!..so, why i am asking too..and am eager to see a little that v12 too BEFORE pre-ordering BG2ee lol (just to prepare my future little tactics, you know.. for a simple bard.. *) ) .. could be some 'fun' tactics for my bard blade that i did not really remembered last time i played^^.. so i would love to be sure if legit or not (was already like that in the originals?!)... *))

    How is someone supposed to read your posts without getting a headache?
  • kamuizinkamuizin Member Posts: 3,704
    LOL, that's a nasty comment!

    But you really could work your paragraphs and text punctuation @Sunset00.
  • kamuizinkamuizin Member Posts: 3,704
    Bump, here goes the bet a bit more balanced. We're in the doors of november, i really made this post as a funny prank, the reason i voted for the BG:EE patch, but then... maybe it becomes a reallity, unless both launchs got delayed, of course!
  • CoryNewbCoryNewb Member Posts: 1,330
    What if the patch gets launched shortly then WHAM early release for bg2! That would be a curve ball!
  • sunset00sunset00 Member Posts: 310
    @kamuizin
    lol.. oh, but i am used to it here...seems the best we can get from some users here lol.. *)
    Actually, i am more focussed on the eventual patchs corrections/dates.. the rest, i don't care too much.

    i just hope a few guys in the staff understood the bugs/weird behaviours i noticed (and are simply working on it -if not already done- for the actual 1.2 patch) ..no need for a perfect syntax for that, just a few neurons/honnesty lol. The rest i don't care, really. After all that's their job, not mine lol.. i can try to help pointing (the way i can^) on some issues i noticed on my little level.. but not much more.. and can just hope all will be ok for the 'next patch' /bg2ee launch then.. ^^
  • SindyanSindyan Member Posts: 146
    I think for the iPad version bgee2 (pc)be I'll be released before apple approves the patch. I am hoping before thanksgiving!
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    There seems to be a brash assumption that the BG:EE patch will come with BG2:EE, which doesn't appear to be the case. The renderer (graphics) is part of BG2:EE, but the BG:EE patch also is being bug tested. If you think anybody knows both:

    (a) how many bugs, in total, will be found during testing
    (b) how long (aggregate) to fix all of (a) without adding to the number of (a) it will take

    then, I have a bridge near Firewine to sell you. Answer soon enough, I'll throw in one near Baldur's Gate for a slight up-charge.

  • kamuizinkamuizin Member Posts: 3,704
    The devs asured that the patch would be released before BG2:EE, there's no assumption in this matter @reedmilfam. I'm not billing anything anyway, it's just a joke thread being a joke thread this one.
