Does anyone know when the pre-orders start?
I'm getting a little impatient because of this :-\
-
Pre-order starts on August 2 :)
-
Awesome!! :2thumbs:
-
uhhh guys....
sorry but....
now would i be able too pre-order SSE from www.amazon.com?
Not too sound disrespectfull but i do not trust the shipsim site. :C..
ive ordered several products at their home sites and some never arrived and 2 arrived in terrible condition :'(
I live around 4284 NM away from rotterdam, and if SSE arrived in not good condition i might as wel order it from amazon.com.
The reason why will not dowload sse is because my home internet is 3MB per minute.
5GB???? that will take more then 2 days..
Now i need some help here about hi i should pre-order SSE.
Kind Regards

You only get the extra fishing vessel if you pre-order via the shipsim site. If packages never arrived or in bad condition, you should have contacted Vstep about this immidiatly. :)
-
i see :-X
but about the other stuff..that was not ss, that other things i ordered
-
It doesn't matter from who you bought it. If the package arrives in bad condition or doesn't arrive at all you should always contact the person or company who sold it to you :) It could also happen very well if you buy something from Amazon.
-
I would still get the ShipSim preorder digital download version if I was you. When you live that far away it will take far more than the 2 days of downloading to get the boxed preorder version from vStep, and the non-preorder-version from Amazon might get caught up in the postal system as well. Or get a friend/workmate/library/university with higher bandwidth to download it for you. If I'm not home when it is released, I'll be stuck with a 150kb line (EDGE modem).. wonder how long THAT will take.
It has been possible to "preorder" SSE from Amazon since 2009, but then you are only reserving a copy of the game from the first (if still available) batch that arrives at Amazon.
I've recieved bad stuff from Amazon as well, was a complete amazon-junkie the year I lived in germany, and with 100s of shipments, some were bound to be bad sooner or later. Same with other shops. Never was a problem getting it sorted out though.
-
Hi
I think the same as ballast if something is delivered in bad condition I will not sign for it
V-step make the game I think you will find that they have nothing to do with the ordering
and shipping.
Isnt that the job paradox do? anyway I would rather order from the site than bother giving
someone else the order but thats me .
Over the years v-step have posted me the games and books by post from them to england
were I live andthey have allways arrived in very good condition

Pre-order starts on August 2 :)
I've been waiting Months for the pre-order and been checking the ship sim site every day, and the day the pre-order comes out, im 60 miles away visiting relatives! :doh: :'(
-
I still don't know what to do :-\ Download version or boxed. Hmmmm ???
Like I said I prefer boxed as it looks really cool to have.
Yeah, right! I've decided.
Pre-order, donation edition, boxed version of SSE :doh:
Lol, Tell me what everythings like anyone who downloads it, especially Antarctica :thumbs:
And are pre-orders really tommorow?!
Or as TFM would say today in Asia :doh:
-
Realese date is something for the last week of August as I've seen into the main site.
-
I can't remember who said it now ??? That it was tommorow! lol :doh:
-
I would like to say guys, from my experience, Amazon are very good at pre-order games, i pre-ordered two games from them and they arived on the very day the games came out, i ordered SSE from Amazon yesterday :)
-

But you won't get the bonus vessel...
-
Don't remind me plz ;( lol but if Vstep decide to bring it out in the shipyard i would buy it, i don't see it as much of a loss though as it is such a great game without it and i'm not really into fishing vessels.
-
for me its fingers crossed too hope that my pre-ordered SSE will arrive here time
-
*waits for Pre order to appear*
-
*waits for Pre order to appear*
*waits too...
Come on Pre-Order...
-
*dribble*
:lol: :D :lol:

Is it today! :o
-
Is it today! :o
Possibly...
-
Just checked the site and still no purchase option. Must save some pennies now! ;D

* Wait for pre-orders.
Should pre-order be avalible today? When?
/Markus

Hi Markus,
As far as i'm aware Pre-orders are supposed to be today alright...as for what time, I don't think anyone knows. I'd imagine it's a matter of V-STEP editing the site or putting up the edited version with pre-orders available. I'm sure you'll find out fairly quickly from eagle eyed members when that happens...!
Jack.

-
Why do you have 58 items in your shopping cart Matthew? ;D
-
Because my plan is to pre order every single available copy so only I can play it :evil: 58 and counting.
I still keep hitting that pre order button!
And yes go on to the Irish site, preorders are available there! :o

Sorry to expand on this but a 3mb connection would not take 2 days to download. This is because VSTEP will compress the setup file in a ZIP folder, so actually you will probably be only downloading about 4.2GB. I know it's still a large file, but 3MB shouldn't take too long.

Sorry to expand this too, but oceandream was talking (with humour) about a connection of 3Mbits ... per minute, not per second :-) This gives a download rate of appx 50 kbits / second, and I must agree with oceandream : downloading 5gb at 50 kbits / second will be quite long ;D (28 hours or so, if the connexion doesn't drop in beetween !)
-
Well I didn't detect any humour in his post but I did fail to notice the 3mb per MINUTE. Yes you are right about that :) I really wouldn't have thought that he would have a 50kb connection though, as most users who are on the internet these days are connected via broadband, which will give you at least 100kb download speed in most cases.
Oceandream, how fast is your internet connection and are you connected via broadband?
-
Will the english site start to pre-order???
/Markus
-
As far as I know there is only one site, the English one.
And as of yet there has been no option to pre order the game.
:thumbs:
-
I don't see what the rush is about.. Pre-order today or next week, it's the same.. ;)

I so much agree with that ;D ;D ;D

Ahoy saltydog and others,
No, it's not. In an Answer from Vstep due to a question by me concerning that (pre-order) matter Vstep stated that the Pre-Oreder would start today.
On the Mainpage of ShipSim.com it still says Pre-order soon available.
So I did fill out a new contact form and will let you know what the Answer to that will be.
I don't think it's possible to run out of downloadable copies ::)
That will not be the reason, because the pre-order date is NOT the date of purchase
Kind Regards
Aad
-
Hi Aad,
I think what Saltydog and myself wanted to say, is that pro-ordering the game today or in one week won't make you receive the game sooner, as it isn't released yet ... :)
-
It's understandable of course..Everyone is just so eager to get the game.. ;D

TFM doesn't want chicks or babes! He hasn't heard of them! :doh:

Well we don't know if ducky is making a come-back...?
-
Actual, it's still the 2nd of August, and Vstep did mention only the date in their answerto my (contact form) question, nothing about the time.
So, let's have a nice cup'o'tea and wait.
-
Its the 3rd in Asia... :doh: :doh: :doh:
-
I knew you had to mention Asia sooner or later :doh:

First 2 were free, for the next one i'll have to charge you! ;D
Relax guys, i understand your enthusiasm but pre-ordering the game won't get it you sooner. I never thought i would say it but ehh... patience is a virtue or something :doh:
It sure is worth the waiting!

NEWSFLASH - NEWSFLASH - NEWSFLASH - NEWSFLASH
Ahoy to all who are awaiting the Pre-Order Date. This mail arrived at my mailbox just minutes ago:
Dear Sir,
Unfortunately we have not received permission from the publisher to start
our pre-order sales just yet.
The new release date of the pre-order system will be announced via
newsletter very soon.
Regards,
ShipSim Support
So, let's wait and see :'(
-
Paradox is all I can say ::)
Modified for crude language.
Traddles
-
:'( :'( :'( :'(
I have waited all day for that...
-
Thanks VSTEP! Lovely to know that now at 6 Oclock my time. Im not too dissapointed, i was only waiting excitedly all day refrshing the main page.
Couldn't someone from your staff just make a post saying, sorry it's been delayed slightly?
But no.
I know it's Paradox's fault but surely, even a little post?
-
I think we are going back to the two weeks before release then... :'(
-
How can you not get permission though ??? What are Paradox doing there all day, surely they can just say yes you may go ahead with it?
-
Couldn't someone from your staff just make a post saying, sorry it's been delayed slightly?
But no.
I know it's Paradox's fault but surely, even a little post?
Do you really think they would do that? They don't tell us anything at all, we have to find it out for ourselves or just gabble on about something, then we notice something chances and its normally never good. Take the system requirements for example..

I just get the message to...

A definate lack of communication (*once again unfortuantely*)
-
I always like it though how they like to hear from us, why can't we hear from them for once?
Like when was the last time the diary was updated?Ages ago..
-

At the end of the day VSTEP are not responsible for the publication of the game. However, what is REALLY bugging me more than anything at the moment is the lack of communication between VSTEP and us the gamers.
I am not happy with the amount of posts and announcements that VSTEP have made and wish they would let someone do it for them. We've had no news about the game for a while now and the dev diaries have stopped.
Anyway I'd better stop ranting or I'll get too annoyed with them. They create fantastic games and are very talented, shame it goes to waste when they can't be bothered to get someone to keep the fans happy :(

I've had enough..
Edit: should of changed ask for more info to DEMAND..
-
Lol I wonder if we will even get a response before the nights over? I suppose they have to really.
-
Paradox still thinks preorders should start 14 days before game launch I guess, thats what they've said in the past is their standard operating procedure... hopefully vStep will be able to push that a bit.
-
Really, what is the point about the "pre-order" date ? wether the pre-orders start 6 months or 2 days before the release date, what is the difference ???
That won't bring the game sooner in your letter box ...
-
Heh, it's always at this point of a topic when I say "Why don't we all calm down, and think of fluffy white clouds and rubber ducks". :P
I'm just going to wait, and when it comes it comes, in the meantime I don't think there's any use getting steamed up ;D
-
It would also be a great help if some members tried to use more moderate language. Perhaps a more "Grown up" attitude would be better.
-
LOL
How many pre-orders do you have now Matthew? ;D
-
Nah, Ive got none now!
Server crashed and wiped my shopping basket clean :doh:
I think I was close to 900 before the server crashed.
So I will have to continue my evil plan another day :evil:

If that is so, the Date Pre-orders come out for Europe would be August 10th. And America would be August 13th. A bit of a too long wait. :-\
-
I must confess myself a little disappointed that they're not being allowed to take pre-orders until next Friday (August 13), but if the producers say 'jump' then the programmers and designers must as 'how high' or the producer may drop them, or sue or something. I'm not big on law. At any rate, the rest of you should grab a cup of tea, relax, and maybe play SS08 to pass the time.
(Holy Halibut, that's Friday the 13th! O.o)
-
And?
this is real world...
nothing bad will happen on friday the 13th
-
Oh it get's better lol ::)
-
Though Friday the 13th is claimed to have the most bad luck of any day, it is just a rumor. A myth.
-
Oh no friday the 13th?
We are all going to die! :o
We are never going to play SSE! :'(
