Postpone Patch 6.05 - The Hardest Thing to Say

[basilbc]

I asked in a previous iteration of this kind of thread, but: Why would a week or two delay be unacceptable? Creating an extra time buffer to get as many “msq-only” players through the game seems like the best option here, so why not?

[filexcl]

I agree with the proposal.

Many of my friends have not even been able to play and let alone put together raid teams at a specific time, it would simply be very difficult (more than now) to be able to play with friends.

At least on Aether we are still seeing queues over 5K and wait times 6+ hours to get into game. Have had to cancel some group nights already because if somebody gets a 90k error they can't get back in.

At this rate savage raiding will be full of groups who can't play because they can't get into the game.

[RognarRake]

So delay content for everyone because some of the player base with raid statics are afraid they will fall behind other people in game for raid duty progress?

No, more like allow many players to actually get on and at least complete MSQ.

[Vahlnir]

Raiders have had their ultimate delayed and have been sitting on the same raid tier for a full year now. Delaying content for everyone because some people might have time conflicts is not the way to go.

Oh, I agree. There's already been enough delays, especially for raiders. It probably shouldn't happen again for a while.

[SuperSxyNerd]

Terrible idea, delaying content won't solve any current issues.

[Cithaerias_pyropina]

Sure, if they extend my subscription again.

Why? Is raiding a limited time event that you can't complete if you have to postpone activities?

The problem is the weekly limits on gear. People can't get gear if they can't login. Then fall behind in ilvl and can't keep up.

Solid disagree. The raids aren't going anywhere and it sure isn't the end of the world if you don't get to clear it the first day the raid drops.

100% this.
