Feb 11th and still no new news

People who rush games to be released right away (and in a hurry) are more often than not the same ones who are quick to tell everyone else how awful said game was when it came out on a date to their liking. You can't have it both ways. Patience on our part means the devs can focus on actually making it worth playing instead of trying to push a product.

I'd like beta 1 to start soon but last quite a while if necessary (even though it is capped and area restricted) so that we can give feedback. Not acting on feedback from the beta is what destroyed FFXIV in many people's opinion (though it probably wasn't even possible to fix the game which is why we have ARR).

While I understand them wanting to have a solid version for us to test. I'm not so impatient that I can't understand delays. But I do think most legacy members can tolerate and understand a game that is in an unfinished state. We proved that when we subscribed to one. Besides there is an NDA for this reason. I just hope if it is delayed that this is not going to cause them to shorten it to speed up the process of the launch.

I do want to play FFXIV very badly again (with my character, and the content I am most excited for), but I also want them to give themselves enough time to make major changes based on experiences from the beta. By the time the NDA is lifted for Beta 3 they need to have the game ready with very little issues so they don't get hammered by the public.

you know, i don't know why delay have something to do with a game succeding. In fact, it was the rushing who hurted more ffxiv 1.0.
Basicly, i don't know the fuck you thinking

It's not a direct correlation, that pushbacks are directly related to failure. It's more of a question of How many times can you disappoint your fans before they lose interest? I hate to say it, but XIV doesn't have a lot of room for disappointment after 1.0.

That said, they can't be "late" when they haven't given a date, and we've learned many times that "mid-XXX" in SE's language simply means that it will fall during the period of XXX. It's not meant to be juxtaposed with "early-XXX" or "late-XXX."

ARR is a lie.

You guys need to chill, another producer letter will be made while he is in america and in his last statement he said the starting dates will in it.



This was more towards the users who've never seen an attractive woman on the internet before.

I find it funny that people are complaining about not getting beta "mid feb" but it hasn't even hit the 14th of Feb yet (which is the day of mid-feb)..

I presumed "mid feb" was anwhere in and around 10th-20th of feb, give or take..

It was an estimated time not an official date.. If it's not ready, then it's not ready !
