Single Player Patch Not In Production… Yet
Community Manager Scapes had this to communicate on the official forum regarding the Single Player patch for EU/US.
Hellgaters,
I have made a number of misinterpretations in my time — some real quality errors in communication. This, however, is the first I’ve made as Flagship Studios’ Community Manager and let me tell you: I feel rather awful about it.
So…
We are currently preparing to release Hellgate: London in Japan. This means we’re in the middle of a large localization effort. We’ve also just commercialized our Korean SKU and we’re simultaneously working on builds for China. Busy, busy.
So… (Again)
I relayed information that a new singleplayer patch was going through QA; however, I mistook it to be for the US/EU build. I learned I was wrong during a production meeting: it is actually only for our Japanese launch.
Now here we are. The SP patch in QA is not for US/EU.
Due to the nature of Japanese localization, their SP patch is not directly transferable and cannot be localized for US/EU. I did confirm that a US/EU singleplayer patch is planned but the timetable is not as imminent as the build for Japan. To be more precise, the estimate is weeks rather than days.
This will no doubt cause disappointment, frustration, even anger for our many singleplayer users. I am so sorry for it. Got a little mixed up, is all. If you feel the need, please jab me repeatedly with pointy implements of your choosing or make me wear a face-loving Oracle for a few hours. Seriously though, I’m sincerely apologetic for the misinformation.
So there you have it, it’ll only be available in some weeks time. Hang in there, Single Players.
