ETA on Replay System?

Hey all,
I know I have been posting about this quite a bit lately but im just curious if we can get a ETA on the replay system. We know its half-there already (you can watch them a quick work around, buts its very buggy) so when will it get put in properly. Im looking forward to hosting some tournies (over at gamereplays.org) but i would like replays to be in first so we can watch over the matches that happened over it.

I'm also aware you guys are bogged down with work on the connectivity atm and thats an absolute no.1 priority but I was just very curious as to when we would be expecting replays.

Note to Devs - Could you please pick one of the below as to when we can roughly recieve the replay system?
One week, Two weeks, One Month, Two months, Many months?

I'd think its hard to say for them - they have a lot of things to take care of first. For now just use Fraps/Growler?

Ingame recording tools really arent great. I want to see the game from a more neutral view and dont want fraps taking up 17gb+ of space then spend 10mins+ converting it to smaller size. Also features like fast forward/slow down free roam are missing.

so true. a few weeks ago i needed to clean my hd, and i found a folder with FRAP videos. they were taking up so much, and had small resolution

I can't wait for replays.  I'm still shocked a MP intensive game like this was released without it.  We had the most epic game last night.  Tried to watch it using the work around, and it would not go past about 3 mins of the game.  Sigh/frown.  But I'm sure MP online is SD's major focus right now.  No use getting the game to play replays if people can't connect to MAKE the game reply in the first place.

Seconded.

I looked and looked and looked for a replay button after an awesome 3v3 slaughter game where the dark side came from behind to tie 19 to 19 and then oak finished the game after being taken down and activating his last stand ability landing a killing blow seconds before the timer expired.

I was still wondering at that point if the game was worth its salt.  But after that game of yelling go go go and don't die just don't die, I was pretty much sold.

I would share the memory but alas replay has yet to be implemented.  Though I do like you development style more than other companies.  Release the game, and then make it better and better and better.  All this waiting for some other RTS is beginning to bother me.

Indeed.

However remember this is GPG's duty not Stardocks. But if you guys from Stardock could ask the peeps from GPG or get any info from them that would be awesome.

Or even better, a dev from GPG reply :O ?
