Where can I see the live letter video??

How has this thread not been closed yet... your all arguing...

Amen the point was to ask one question that was fully answered on the first page even before a rep response.

Are some of you guys seriously trying to call me out

It's like the people who play a video game and say they can do a better job and it "should have been released after months work, not take a year or longer."

This is why some call you out, because when you have to translate something, as accurate and understandable as possible, it's going to take awhile. Blizzard for example doesn't even translate to chinese, there's a 3rd party that does the Chinese translations even though Blizzard officially supports that region.

It took if I recall, 3 months for the first version of the Japanese patch to WoW to be produced, by a 3rd party because it's not officially supported. A professional company taking a week or so to translate in 3+ languages is more than acceptable.

just look at the majority of the questions answered and where they were from.

If you read the twitter questions, most that were answered were from all regions as all regions asked pretty much the same questions.

Try again?

This is pretty darn funny considering China to Blizzard is the English community to SE. Half of their players (at least) come from China. And Blizzard is touted as having the best community relations in the industry. LOL.

Best community relations when it comes to their own region, you mean. But that's not relevant unless you are not part of said region. Hypocritical to the maximum.

Now that I started, let's continue. Korean MMO's are sometimes compared as having quite good community relations. How this makes sense is unknown to me. The development is completely outsourced to some F2P company in some cases, and in all cases the development at the very least lags behind the Korean, sometimes even the Japanese version. One would think that having the patches come out simultaneously would be the most important way to have good community relations in all regions.

In other words, on a global scale Square-Enix and FFXIV are the best in the industry when it comes to community relations. Blizzard outsources the communication to a third party while the Chinese WoW is at least an expansion behind the international version even though the Chinese make up half of the playerbase. That is not only due to lack of attention from Blizzard but also due to Chinese laws that are completely insane, but to say that Blizzard couldn't be any faster at bringing Chinese the newest patches would be silly. Korean devs outsource the development altogether or at least the patches lag behind for 3 months to years at time. The only way for someone to make an argument that any other developer is better at this than SE is hypocritical at best, completely ignoring that other regions outside their own exist at worst.

Sorry for the delay

Just wanted to highlight this quote. SE even admits themselves that they're late on this.

I feel embarrassed, disheartened, and somewhat outraged.

The level of self-entitlement that I saw from one poster in the beginning of this thread is astounding.

Japaneese isn't a Roman language. Anyone who understands anything about languages realizes that official translations are a pain to keep accurate, and when you're translating: you're representing a company by that translation. The slightest slip can cause an uproar, given how internet communities are often like an autistic child with anger management issues.

I also like to mention that a year ago no one, not a single individual here would have imagined we would get developers and project heads broadcasting themselves, ever. Now we have people insulting the company because the translation isn't up quick enough for them? It just shows as a perfect example that you can never please everyone, and that there are some people so miserable that they look for things to complain about.

Lastly. A small reminder to the world, that people are human. Propping up a perfected image of yourself or others will always wind up in disappointment. Some things don't happen the way they are expected or even intended to be. This is also true with businesses, especially in entertainment. But using it as an excuse to play the race preference card is nothing short of a public embarrassment to everyone who has to share the same public space.
