Information on 1.21 Next week?

Then he needs to come out and say something. I cannot find a good reason the developers can't come out and say we are delaying the patch, or at least acknowledge us. We pay monthly for this game now, and in doing so, I expect better service, and so far it has been pretty bad in terms of communication. They don't even need to give us a date, just say "something".

we pay monthly doesnt mean they are required to give you guys daily updates though

we have had 6 updates this month so far, thats 6 in 21 days, thats an update on average every 3-4 days

and thats slow?




the entitlement in this thread is getting out of control, no game will ever give you what you want yet you obviously expect them too, several other games woulda probly banned you people from the forums by now for the sheer retardedness of your whiny demanding posts

Actually, we're ALL playing for a future patch. Are you seriously implying the state of the game is anything less then sad? Correct, it doesn't say for 10 bucks a month you will be delivered, blah blah blah, crapola. However, this is the real world we're dealing with. If your product is lacking and you (as in SE) keeps saying give us more time we promise it will be good - sadly I am going to see what I am investing in.

In the real world, if you go to a store and buy a bag of chips for 5 bucks and once you get home and open the bag of chips you see that it was half full of air, there is no way in hell the store manager is going to refund you because "it was lacking". SE is not telling you to buy a futures stock option trade. You are paying for the game in it's current state ether you choose to admit it or not. The patch will come, but that is not what you are paying for. You can convince yourself that the only reason you have payed for these last two months is because you expect the patch to come out in a week, but those are your assumptions and your expectations and not SE's empty promises. At the end of the day, if you don't like the half empty bag of chips, don't buy them again. But you better not think that the company owes you a bag of chips with 10% more just because you are a "paying customer".

yea, a lot of people payed 6 months in advance using SE's time frame as a guideline. I don't care about the delay as much as the lack of info explaining the delay.

Honestly, what difference would an explanation make? None. You should understand that these patches require a lot of hard work and time to implement, look over and over and over again, test for bus, fix and repeat. There is no need for an explanation, and many questions have been answered already.

Yet again, SE announced that the patch would be pushed back from Mid February by two months and that they were aiming for End of February as a goal. This is another moot point. You cannot say that SE should do something they already have done. This is rediculous. Should SE get down on their knees and grovel for your 10 dollars a month while they are at it?

This. So many people here seem entitled to some slavish response for their 10 dollars a month, this is just sickening. To the point where certain people are willingly insulting others and labeling anyone who disagrees with their self deception and disapointed as White Knights and the like.

We are not asking for a daily update, we are asking for a single update in regards to the situation. You are right however, they are not obligated to give us anything, however, this game is still on thin ice and you have to do what you can to keep your subscribers in. Not simply coming out and giving a simple update on what is going on in 1.21 (when it has already been delayed) is just keeping us in the dark and looks really bad on their end.

I work for a company where if delays happen, we immediately let our customers know and inform them on a constant basis on the situation at hand. Are we obligated to do that? No, we can just say "It happens when it happens.", but guess what? This makes us as a company look bad if we decide to do that, because we acknowledge how important our customers are and if they payed for something, they deserve to be informed on what is going on. Last thing we want is the customer thinking they would be better off with another company who will provide better service and experience.

Simply coming out and saying "We are still working bugs in 1.21 and will have to be delayed a little longer." is all you have to come out and say if that is the case. I would not be here griping to you right now if that was the case. Hell don't even have to give a date.

Seven days without patch information, especially with the patch supposedly coming in at the end of the month is sounding sketchy to me.
