I get people are upset and want to voice it, but I get tired of people acting like this is something se would just do on a whim without a really REALLY good reason. It sucks, your work may make changing pto hard (some do that), but acting like the developers did this without a thought, care, or on a whim and it wasn't a very serious decision to make is just silly.

Look at my join date cupcake. I've been around here much longer then you. I know what it means, it doesn't make it suck any less.

well, good for you ^^

I'll bet many people have no clue on how software development works so I was trying to explain for those who may have no idea

It is enlightening reading through this thread with people who are calling people, who are disappointed in having their time off being out of shift with EWs release, entitled and "having first world problems". A lot of people, like myself, can only devote a handful of hours to this game a week with how much we work. For a lot of us, this wasn't PTO but time earned from overtime (that I'm probably not getting back-pay for, but that's a personal fight).

Being understanding about the scheduling push-back and being upset that you won't get those hours back are feelings that can and should coexist.

I think anyone who uses an Alt on forums is pretty sus

Some people might just not feel comfortable to show their Main "to the world".
However said person responded as of why.
My comment was just a guess anyway.

I don't get the logic of lashing out at people who don't share your opinion. /shrug

Isn't that pretty much what people have been doing since the start of humanity being able to communicate through speech though?

People who live with their mommy and daddy don't understand working 8+ hours a day plus 2+ hours of commuting time, plus all the other chores one must do when you're an adult and own a home.

I work full time and am back in school full time, and have to rent out of someone elses house because I can't afford one where I currently live. Still have to do chores, cook, etc. I'm disappointed but I'm not out here saying this is the last straw, game is dying, etc, like it feels like people do on here anytime anything slightly negative happens.

lmao i should use that on my professors when they ask for my assignments. be like "stop being upset that i didn't submit it on time. it sucks that it might screw up your plans. BUT THAT'S ON YOU. Not me. Take a step back and put yourself in my shoes for once. Guaranteed you would see things very differently" haha

but for real, you don't get to tell ppl how to feel. and its 100% on SE. that's why yoshida is so upset. he knows he let ppl down.

as a university student, the delay doesn't affect me, but it does mean my gf likely won't be able to get time off for launch now. its gonna be lonely at server up.

An assignment, and a MMO are 2 different things my friend. And Assignment has a clear end. The steps to complete said homework are going to the be same. The only thing that could possibly change that is you. Game development you can work on something and new bugs appear. Good luck.

And I don't care how you feel. LMAO. I'm telling people their are good reasons for this. You want to know the shame they'd feel if they released a broken game? Consider the options.

Terrible comeback tho

Let's see...Yoshi deciding the expansion isn't up to standard and delaying it two weeks to get it as stable as possible...

OR

End up with a potential CyberPunk situation where key components are working as intended, and causing lots of problems for players(not likely to be as bad as what Cyber had, but if the stability of the game is in question, a huge amount of players would be impacted by not being able to actually do anything...)

I'll take a delay thank you.

If they were behind. And this didn't happen over night, why wait till after investor revue and after pushing new mog sales for the expansion. Also why is it any other company is a company that doesn't deliver, but SE gets the think of the employees?

Is it a stability issue? Is that the delay or did he admit they took too much time on lore and couldn't make it to QA. A transcript needs to be released. I feel like people didn't hear what caused them to reach this point. Also we got stormblood, they aren't that meticulous about what they release.

This is also the end of the story that has been going on since ARR ( arguably before that ), this is the one launch you DON'T want to be bad.
