Stop asking about new packs. Just stop. Everybody stop. It's not helping. It won't make them come faster. All you'll get is some warning points and a locked thread.When will the next Direpack come out on FTB? I heard rumors about a few weeks but i already heard them 2months ago :|
Iam really out of FTB- and Minecraft-News, so sorry if the question is answered somewhere.
Earliest = when the launcher is out.
No ETA for the launcher.
For me the best way to get news is to watch Direwolf's vids (News, Forgecraft 2 & 3). He's said the pack is ready but will not be released except via FtB. I was watching an episode of FC3 when Slowpoke showed up and let slip verbally that the launcher "is farther along than expected" but was in pre-Alpha stage.
Things are being tested for correct operation, but they're not yet ready to turn it over to the public to break (and complain about).
god willing...I have a feeling they are going to release the v2 launcher right when they talk about it at minecon this week end.
Just wanted to comment on asking for updates. I totally agree that asking about mod pack update progress is counter productive as the modders are doing this for their own enjoyment. However, FTB just became a business by selling their merchandise. A business is beholden to their customer/user base. It would actually help them to give an abbreviated status every week or two.
