It's been two years since I've last played DF
« on: June 22, 2014, 08:28:57 pm »

And now I feel like playing a round of Fortress Mode, maybe even starting a community game.

But before I go, is there any new FUN stuff that I should watch out for? New activities? New skills? New items? New carp?

carp are something you DON'T (really) need to watch out for anymore.

I am quite looking forward to the next 20 or 30 years or so of developmental madness

Also you should probably wait about a month. Then the new version will come out.

And the new version will be GLORIOUS

And riddled with a host of new bugs. You might want to make that two months.  ;)

And at which, many of the fantastic utilities could/should be ready to assist you in your adventures :)

It's estimated to possibly come out next week, but could be the week after.

Last month one would get the exact same response, but with "week" being replaced by "month".

It's a great feeling.

I'm betting it'll be released sometime between today and infinity.

Fast forward exactly 3 months >>>>
It's estimated to possibly come out next week, but could be the week after.

And the window of release continues to shrink. It is a damn good feeling.  :)

It's expected soon. At any second. All the time. Basically after June 30th it can, and will, happen at literally any moment in the day, and probably will at a time you least expect it.

It's been over two years since the last update.

So, zero. The number of changes since you played last is zero.

Now watch as the new version comes out at the same time as the July '14 Report...
That'd be nice, y' know.

Rather than counting down the days or weeks until release I've taken the stance of counting down the number of bugs. Much more reliable.

There has been continuous development of many lovely mods though. Masterwork especially.

May as well wait till the next week or two to jump back in if you haven't played in a while.

Then again the most recent version can be a way to dip your toes into the recent form of the game instead of doing it head-first in DF2014.
