Are you a parrot? Cause you sound like one, repeating the same thing.

Things are different now. It's a better team, with a new engine, efficient development schedules, no rushing to be release, and clear goals. In front of us is a game rebuilt from the ground up within the span of a year. Have some faith.

I really hate to play the pessimist, but this right here should give you pause. I'm more than willing to accept that they accomplished a miracle and rebuild the game engine from the ground up in 2 years. But do it in two years and not have it need one of the most rigorous shakedowns of all time? Unlikely. This is a time that we, as fans, should be at our most critical. I'm not saying we should be negative. I love ARR so far, and everything we've seen from it. But this is a perfect chance for us to help them get it right.

Literally what the alpha tests have been for. Stress testing the new servers.

Exactly, all I'm saying is that even those of us that are not in the alpha test proper want to do our part. And if that's limited to pointing out the little things that could be improved, so be it. At least it's something that keeps us connected to the project while it's down.

problem with letting non-employees do the alpha/beta test they decide they want to play the game out right. and nitpick rather then trying to see if anything breaks the game and say who they broke it.
there even a post of people wanting to keep there beta characters there not there to test there there to play the game to get ahead.
i was on beta3 of version 1 and the fourms were full of whining anytime someone addressed a problem they were flamed and people were people more worried about getting LS's set up.

Two years ago people were also screaming at Tanaka/Wada to push back the release date and they didn't listen. I doubt it's going to happen again, they've delayed 2.0 as needed.

tanaka was a worker he can only say when he might be done, his boss is the one who will say you will be done on this day. no different then any other job that has deadlines.
