New update coming the 26th

[Taxman]

Zak just posted over at Annoucements that they are preparing for an update Nov. 26.  The master sever will be down 9:00 till 13:00 GMT.

 

Let the speculation begin

 

The website and forums will also be down.

That's a master server update, not a game update. I very much doubt it will do anything with unlocks. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/13137-master-server-and-website-maintenance-november-26/?do=findComment&comment=205574

Let's not even go there with speculation

[=LD=Hethwill]

Name change.

 

Simply that.

 

Site, Forum, Game. All one name.

 

Speculative enough ?! 

[-TBC-AeroAce]

Name change.

 

Simply that.

 

Site, Forum, Game. All one name.

 

Speculative enough ?!

Ur probably right

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

Not speculation cause Jason and Zak already hinted it

 

My speculation: Skin viewer + ingame/server custom skin support

[=LD=Hethwill]

Hint or not we must hit the nail once !!!! right ? 

 

Let the bets begin.

[ST_ami7b5]

Stil it would be nice to have more pilot profiles - three like it is in RoF would do.

[Flack88]

Finally will be able to change my name and have fun online

[JimTM]

I think that they are adding the ability to turn speculation on or off. Almost certain...perhaps.

[4pg_inferno]

I don't think unlocks will not be remove because they are thinking that is the most important fundamental part in the game.

They have already declare that very clearly.

[senseispcc]

Speculate in Belgium it is a biscuit the Speculos! humm nice with coffee and sugar and milk!  

[6high]

[=AVG=Zombie]

They must be adding the X-Wing fighter I requested, thank you devs.....

[Y-29.Silky]

I'm still speculating if this update will make my day at work on the 26th feel like an eternity, or just a day.

[Yakdriver]

Name change.

 

Simply that.

 

Site, Forum, Game. All one name.

 

Speculative enough ?! 

 

 

exactly That - the common deNOMinator for the downtimes are not an AI plane, not a preset, a Dserver or some other thing...

Name change makes most sense.

why else would you take down the forums. Not for tha Ju52.

 

why even speculate...that announcement can be understood in 0.5 seconds by using experience.

I speculating that all your speculating is wrong, and my speculation is right; I speculate Editor, and skin view...

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

the speculation;

[sallee]

This is the update where everyone gets all excited about unlocks being removed in the days leading up to the patch.

 

And then on the day of the patch everyone regrets getting their hopes up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I'm wrong.

 

 

{Edit} This is the update that will allow pilots to change their in-game name.

The pilot name will be tied to our forum name so will create a brand new argument with people not wanting to change their forum name or wanting to fly with a different name to that used on their forum profile or ... !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I'm wrong.

 

 

What's it to be? Extreme_Two?

I-16 made available only to me......

[SAG]

Wait, nooooo!! i dont want my ingame name to be the same as my forum name

[Nonolem]

I think speculation should be taxed...

[Schmalzfaust]

Hmm maybe pilot stats?

[SYN_Jedders]

Spatulation, the use of moulded plastic kitchen utensils, will be included...along with ai JU52 is my guess

[NN_RugbyGoth]

Forum is back... My speculation is that we will have flying ponies!

[Trooper117]

Ju 52 target drone... be sure!

[Schmalzfaust]

Is this new? http://il2sturmovik.com/stats/campaign/

[Anw.StG2_Tyke]

Nothing or the introduction of mouse-aim WT-Style!

[Trooper117]

Yes, new but still WiP...

[Schmalzfaust]

Nice, but I really don't care about SP player stats. Sorry to write that but ...eeeeeeehhhhhrggg, why?! Nevermind, It's just another feature so thanks devs.

[VRPilot]

name change: done

[=AVG=Zombie]

Sweet......

[-TBC-AeroAce]

So did anything change apart from stats app and names?

[PA-Sniv]

v.1.006 released on Monday!

[SvAF/F19_Klunk]

I can't come up with any reason Not to have the same name in-game as in forum. Could anyone inform me?

[SvAF/F19_Klunk]

How is that a bad thing;)

[Brano]

People typing their true names on facebooks but want to hide themselves behind different nicks on forums and in games.Are you ashamed that you play games with planes? My friends and co-workers know about my hobby and I speak freely about it.And I do not care if people think I am weirdo.Same as I dont care about their freetime activities (composing mostly of watching reality shows/X factor crap)

I think that ingame nick,or better said callsign should be short and easy to pronounce/remember.Mine is my real first name and it fits fine to my definition.

[[KWN]T-oddball]

I speculum that the issue will just broaden over our names being tied to the forum.

 

all kidding aside i really hope that our in game names are NOT tied to the forum...of course this may also be another issue that belongs to the unlock/stat system. i.e if we change our name then the unlock and stats will not follow and start from zero.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Made them not public, just because I can. Nothing to see there, move along.

[Taxman]

Oh well, speculation poop out, moving on

[III/JG11_Tiger]

s

I can't come up with any reason Not to have the same name in-game as in forum. Could anyone inform me?

apart from choice usually being a good thing, I cant see any great reason.
