Wtf? Don't throw out big words if you don't know what they mean

It was in reference to the mentality of SE can do no wrong. Which is clearly not the case. Perhaps you should worry about your reading comprehension.

Heh... "big words".

Nope, just not as anal about customer service as some parts of the world.

Seriously though, wtf.

I'm in England. Not sure I see the difference between Americans and British folk in this regard.

Actually I've moved from Italy to the States to England and noticed that Brittons are even more demanding in regards to customer service. You can literally return anything you want anytime for any reason at all, it's pretty crazy.

also i guarantee yoshi will apologize, which in turn means hes admitting he was wrong so i don't know why people need to defend him.

Yeah nobody's ever apologized when they weren't wrong before >.> seriously do you guys want them to stop working on what they're doing just to post screenshots or w/e. I want 1.21 as much as the next guy but getting information about it isn't going to make it come any faster. Staring at paint doesn't make it dry faster.

Going to be a lot more pissed if the complainers cause them to rush the update and something's incomplete about it.

Not at all. Read the thread. Most people aren't bitching to rush the update; they're just concerned that they haven't done so much as say "We've pushed the patch back to a mid-March release." Sure, we'd QQ, but I think everyone would prefer a good, delayed update to a rushed one. What we've got now is more like a MIA update. xD

I'm sure a single body could take 5 minutes off from coding to send some screenshots to Bay and Rukk, who would happily put them into a nice forum post and post away. ^^

Its not about wanting a rushed patch. Its about the abysmal handling of it all. If they left out little bit of info in the form of media for us to look at and talk about there wouldn't nearly be as much ("big word") vitriol floating about. We'd have mostly topics jawing over what we saw in clips and pictures and exciting info.

Instead nothing whatsoever.

i think the problem is when i patch is already past deadline maybe its no the best idea to go a week without updating your sites homepage to show your customers what you've been up too. You wouldn't not show up to work for a week and and not tell them would you. we are customers, they work for us.

There is plenty of things they could have posted to lead up to the prod letter, instead they chose silence.

Try thinking of it as no news being good news (I think I've said this before for a previous patch). A lack of lodestone updates means they're putting all their time and money working on the next game update.

It's not like they're sitting on their hands humming sakura. And as devs have informed us before, it takes time and money to make these updates. Having to go by every higher up to make sure they're okay with it along with typing it up and choosing what they can show, and having it translated and run through again for other countries.

I'm not saying I'm completely peachy about the lack of updates, but it's not that big of a deal for something that's a temporary inconvenience.

seriously do you guys want them to stop working on what they're doing just to post screenshots or w/e.

Yeah all 200 of them should stop working to post screenshots. We obviously need all of them to do that. In fact the community reps should stop posting on the forums and work on the game instead.

yea, but he lack of news has left me little other topics to discuss.

Are you kidding me? I'm not American either and I also think American are more entitled than most but that still does not justify what SE is doing. Their customer service is not satisfactory by any means or standards unless you live in a hut and get your news by pigeons. SE made promises and asked us for money. Many argue that we pay for playing not patches. However, patches are the carrots that leads us to paying, I dont know one person who would remain in this game with promises of future patches. If you're doing a crappy job you're going to be called out on it in a real world no matter if you're in America, Japan, or any other country. SE is being called out because of that not because Americans are out to relive WWII.
