Dev Speak

This is a semi-serious Guide, intended to help curb some of the rampant impatience on the Forums. These figures are based on 'since-CoH-Beta' experience in watching Dev Posts. Also, I am teasing the Devs a bit.

"It's fixed."= 2 Weeks.

"It's being fixed now."= 1 month.

"being worked on"= 1 to 4 months

"Very Soon."= 3 days to 2 months

"Soon"= 2 to 4 months

"In the immediate future"= Next Issue, or 4-6 Months

"At some point"= 6 - 12 months

"Good idea"= 1 - 6 months

"Not for the forseeable future"= 1 to 2 years.

"Never/Shelved"= 6 - 12 months

"would be a lot of work"= 6 - 12 months

"requires new code"= 6 - 12 months

"requires art/animation time"= 6 - 18 months

You see it in the patch notes= In, but will be buggy for 2 weeks to a month.

You don't see it in the patch notes= Who knows?

Obviously, the times above are not exact. I'll leave that to the Number Crunchers.

I love the Devs, I'm sure they are doing the best they can, please cut them some slack, these things take time.
