RPG ULE Bolt

Bump!

Hey, Rogue, if you're ever looking for beta testers, I'd be interested.

But seriously, I would.

[Dark Frost17]

is he still working on this?

Yes.

[Lenny]

Soo... beta testers?

[RogueFactor]

Soo... beta testers?

Right now, I am the primary beta-tester. Once I get closer to a production prototype model, it may be a consideration.

[temps]

Any updates on progress?? Or is it still hush hush on features?

Sweet. Put me on the list when it gets that far. I'm exited.

nice job rogue, will this work with lvl 10, or will it need eyes to keep from chopping. If lvl 10 system works with it, we may be doing some more business, I need a new mag.....

Whats the scoop dude. This has to be the longest bolt build of all time! Youve been tempting people with this for over a year. You could have gotten a lot more testing done by doing a limited release to a controll group. Or do you just like the attention? (j/k) Seriously though, there has been so much speculation, put that baby to the test

The only update is that I am still testing. The features are still hush hush until I get closer to having something finalized.

Thanks. The only detail currently available is its weight. No stone is going unturned, so both systems are being looked at and considered.

Dude, the scoop is....being a small company with finite resources doesnt allow for limited releases. Prototypes arent cheap, and testing takes time. Since this is a prototype and not a production item, its gonna take time and was stated in the original post.

You must not be staying up on current events if you think this prototype is the longest build. There are production goods from other AO vendors going on 2+ years, and people are still waiting.

Remember, this doesnt make me money, it costs me money, until I have something I can produce. So I am more motivated than anyone to have something for you.

The only reason I let this project be known was because, at the time, everyone was moaning that nobody was doing anything for mags. This isnt the only project I have in the works, its just the only one you know about.

I plan on taking as much time as necessary to do this right, and bring a product to market that does what it claims. If you cant wait that long, I understand.

I wasnt flaming. Sorry if it sounded that way. Maybe some of the people that want them most could help finance the project to speed things up. Contributers could get them first at a discount maybe?

I know you werent, neither was I. There isnt an easy-direct way to answer on the interweb without sounding harsh. Its never the intent, but it can come across like that.

Resources are more than just $$$. There is only so much time in the day, which is divided between production, quality control, managing sub-contractors, customer service, shipping/receiving, answering e-mails and then projects. Multiple projects, that run concurrently.

If you really want to contribute, buy more RPG gear. If the stuff I currently have flew out the door, I could simultaneously do larger runs, drop the prices, and make higher margins. I could take that cash and hire more staff to do the stuff that keeps me from focusing on the projects. Take a look at your marker, if its decked out in RPG wares, youre doing all you can to contribute.

Its a no-win. Folks gripe that nothing is new. Then, when you give them a sneak-peak, they gripe it isnt fast enough. If I speed it up, and something goes wrong...you gripe some more about why I didnt take the time to do it right.

Either way, at the end of the day...I am responsible for it if it bears the name RPG. Which is why I am taking my time to do it right

I understand Rogue alot people think that they see a product and say "Wow when can I get one 2 weeks?" But alot of people just don't understand time frame of manufacturing, alot should be taken with a grain of salt that they're not ripping they just want it NOW...
Don't sacrifice quality to apease the masses, Shooter did that and look what happened to him...

PS If you need a Draftsman/Designer, I mostly work for barter...

[Warwitch]

Too true. And there is somethig to be said for attention to detail. With the Mag being almost perfect to begin with there is no point in releasing anything less than spectacular.

Edit: fixed
