    Last time the internet broke. :S I don't want my download to get messed up because the poor website can't handle backwards counting numbers >.< Lol.

    Sure, although that pins them down to an exact release time (to the second), and they may be down to the wire with this release.

    @alannahsmith Yeah, I thought about it, but figured download will be from the Beamdog site so if the main site crashes counting backwards, c'est la vie :)

    I get that you are being tongue-in-cheek here, but polls that don't provide actual options for people should be removed. If you really wanted this to be examined by the community it would have been more reasonable to include only two fields. Yes or no.

    a timer? why not. helps build a lil excitement for the release for the forum crowd and others who constantly visit the site. ~

  • cloakanddaggercloakanddagger Member Posts: 111
    I already have a sticky note pad counting down the days. I would like a beautiful official one on my computer though :)

    @Rerel LOL! yeah, I remember that countdown too! :) But having a timer on the site would be great!

    Only if measures are taking for the site not to crash again.

    (It's a wise decision of the devs to allow the game to be able to pre-download for those that pre-ordered, cuts a lot of the traffic on D-Day H-Hour S-Second).

    This poll is a biased.

    Exile + execution for trying to add a hype timer? Come on, now...

    It's not like I don't know how long I have to wait until 18th. I want gameplay and more screenshots instead of useless timer.
  • immagikmanimmagikman Member Posts: 664
    I would like to see it...saves me the hassel of setting up my own :)

    By a lot of the answers to the poll, shouldn´t the poll be.

    1) Do we want a countdown Timer
    Answer: No
    2) Do we want to see some new screenshots or in play video teaser before release.
    Answer: Yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!

    I think we can all figure out the 18th September is two weeks away.

    Holy S*it has anybody casted a Time Stop spell!!
  • immagikmanimmagikman Member Posts: 664
    @Lekian you don't get it. Yes we ALL can use a calendar, we all know how to tell time. THAT is not the point.
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    What is a calendar? Do they make an app of one?
  • LekianLekian Member Posts: 108
    @immagikman well no I do not get the point. We have already had two count down timers.
    What is the point for a new counter?
    So we all know what time zone BGEE launcher will be based on? So we can all go mad getting passed the final update at the same time.
    I am missing a NO on the poll.

    Hmm I see no count down timers....do you have links to them? How could they be completed? the game has not released yet.

    If I were running the board there would be a real time CDT up on the top left right of the page counting down the hours minutes and seconds to launch day. :D

    Changed left to right for asthetics.
