Bad decision by SE

Better read the ToS modifications because these jokes are no longer allowed here.

Point out the EXACT part of the ToS saying Lalafels are short (IE the sky is blue) breaks ToS. I'll wait.

So lalafell jokes are considered racism now? Are we in a clown world? He replied EXACTLY the way they needed to someone that thinks its appropriate to make EVERYONE wait 2 months just to fit their needs. Not only is it extremely selfish, we have ALL been waiting 6 months due to covid for EW, get over yourselves and respect Yoshi's decision.

I am writing this today, as SE made a very poor judgment, which effects many of us across the globe, and to this, will cause issues for far too many of us.
December and January is a busy time for retail, and it requires full staff to avoid disruption. Many of us, kept our annual leave days, so we could play and enjoy the Endwalker story at its original release dats, this will now not happen, because of the bad decision to move it into the worst time of year for retail workers. Some like myslef won't be able to enjoy the story until at least February or March now, or to be able to keep up with savage raiding, will have to skip the story entirely, as of this poor new release.

To counter this, and stop you ruining a lot of players fun and the want to enjoy the game and story properly, you need to either honour your original release date, or the release needs to be postponed until at least February or March 2020, so the whole player base can enjoy the story without rushing or skipping, to keep up with endgame progression.

This is one of the worst decisions in SE history along with the making of "The Avengers" game.

This is not like this happens all the time and if you watched the Live Letter he was clearly upset that he had to push the release out by 2 weeks. I would rather have all the possible kinks contained and the game as polished as it can be, than they do like other companies and release it full of oversights or worse, delay the launch by several months to a year. I think you should be more tolerant than you are and think before you make the bad decision to come on Lodestone and cry victim. Give the guy a break!

I play this game every day. Why would I do that? You think the only solution to total mismanagement is for individual players to stop enjoying the game? I don't agree with that at all. Personally, I'm just not completely won over and totally forgiving the moment someone begins to show emotion. I prefer to see results, but so far along the whole process, we've gotten the opposite of that.

If he couldn't make the deadline, he never should have canceled the 5.5 Ultimate. That's the worst part of it all. I would have rather they delay the expansion by 3 months and give us that Ultimate rather than scrap the Ultimate promising to make the deadline only to delay it anyways.

Cancelling your sub is the only way players can hold any company to account.

Two more weeks would not have made the 5.5 ultimate possible. The expansion was always the priority so they were never going to sacrifice it for niche content.

Ok, making fun of someone's job is now the exact way to reply to someone upset about the delay.

Are you sure you are still on the moral high ground?

That's not what you did. You did a "short people" joke.

e: here you go, not gonna waste a daily post on this

Where did I ever say anything about two more weeks. I said they should have delayed it as long as needed in order to do the ultimate if they were just going to end up delaying it again anyways. It's a super bad look to scrap an entire ultimate from a patch cycle with the justification of "We needed to do it in order to get Endwalker out on the 19th" and then just turn around and not get Endwalker out on the 19th anyway. If it was going to come down to that, they never should have done it. Should have kept the 5.5 ultimate and then delay Endwalker however long they needed.

Again, they are not going to sacrifice an expansion for niche content. They had no way of knowing they'd have to delay. You blaming them for something they could not predict shows how little you know about software or production of anything. Life lesson here, shit happens that is out of your control. It suck, but blaming others for something out of yours and their control is straight up immature.

I bet everything seems like the highground when you play a lalafel <3

Here's the bottom line: They did the absolute worst thing they could have done in this scenario. There are a million other things they could have done that would have been better, but they picked the worst option. Like it or not, that's the truth.
