Oh I see, that doesn't sound too bad. I really do wish that the FTB team communicated with us more.

The FTB Forum is now read-only, and is here as an archive. To participate in our community discussions, please join our Discord! https://ftb.team/discord
All that info has been on Slow's streams. Also, the team has stated that they do not communicate much as things can change very quickly, and if people don't get what was promised, it can make them unhappy
What OmegaPython said. I love it when people actually do listen to us. 
I can confirm that the main thing that's keeping the pack from being released is bug and feaure testing, as well as those hard last minute decisions on inclusion or exclusion for a few mods. I can't tell you how far along that process is, because sadly I do not know! I have been travelling for the holidays myself, as I know several members of the team have been as well. Things will pick up. Patience, blockhoppers.

Just so I don't create a new thread, I am pointing out that Immibis's mods have been updated, although the google docs page have not been changed
OH SWEET satan i can't wait for this to drop as soon as it is good to go ill be purchasing a hosted server for this pack and streaming from the server for fun.
Can I ask one question, will there be any mods in the Ultimate pack that aren't in the Mindcrack pack? I understand there will be some config difference and whatnot, but if there aren't gonna be any new mods I might just go ahead and start a mindrack game.
From what I can tell though, outside of some new dungeons that particular mod doesn't seem to add any world gen (like new ores and whatnot) and that the dungeons seem to hold recipes for spells which apparently you can learn on your own. More or less, I'm talking about mods that are fairly must have for world gen when you start a new map, like redpower 2 or TE (for its custom ore gen). And yes, I understand that you can explore more to generate new chunks as well as use Mystcraft ages, I just don't want to have to go a few kilometers for new stuff to gen :X
And the podium thing that you need to be able to cast advanced versions of spells. Found in Archmage towers or w/e they are.
Ars Magica would perfectly complement Magic World pack and being based upon the same source material in the Ars Magica PnP game (based on a short look at Atlas Games' site), an even better counterpart to Thaumcraft alone. I have so many ideas flying around my head with the things you could do.
Here's hoping engine temp conditionals work on conduits when they get too much deficit!

Having attempted to manually add Ars Magica (and then going to the Ars Magica post on the mincraftforum.net site), I can say at the very least with current mods (unless things have changed in the last day or two) that Ars Magica and Factorization appear to conflict.

Hopefully this will get fixed in one or the other so they can both be in the Ultimate Pack.

Umm.. not going to happen.
Read the first post of the ars magica:
A Note About ModPacks:
I am not allowing Ars Magica to be a part of any modpacks.
Uhm, read the FTB news post?
http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/ftb-mod-pack-and-launcher-news.5506/
While yes, this is for Magic World, I have a strong feeling it'll be for Ultimate too.
No offense but, through ftb news thread might not be more accurate than the mod owners thread on MCF. I'd love for this mod to be officially in the pack but, in light of this comment I'm not holding my breath.
Direwolf's videos and Slowpoke's streams seem to indicate that Slowpoke and the creator of Ars Magica are in communication, the mod creator is working on Forge compatibility, and it sounds like getting everything playing nicely with each other is the actual remaining limiter.
Not to mention Azanor of Thaumcraft is tickled pink.
If ANY modpack is likely to get approval from Mithion, it'll be FTB. If for no other reason, proven consistent respect for mod authors.
I also expect we'll see Mithion on Forgecraft server eventually.

Don't get me wrong I REALLY want to see that mod in the Magic World and Ultimate pack. I also think Slow wouldn't mention the hope of the mod in the pack if he's not attempting to make it a reality. However, and no offense is intended, the FTB team has mentioned strong possibilities of mod packs being release in a certain time frame that did not occur. For instance a tweet that stated the Ultimate pack would be out in 48 hours yet that has not occurred. I'm not pointing a finger here just using that as an example. FTB has not failed me yet and I am a big fan. I just choose to greatly temper my enthusiasm for Ars Magicas inclusion in any pack.
Hi, I'm Sertas and I'm failing at waiting patiently. Nice to meet you.

There's a big difference from setbacks to ETA estimates, miscommunication between team members, and Slowpoke101 misleading people about the mod creator of Ars Magica's willingness to give permission once compatibility is fully settled. There has to be at least some interest in there from the mod creator or Slowpoke probably wouldn't have said anything and likely wouldn't be nearly as hopeful.
