The Letter is up

I don't know why Yoshi-P making Auto-Attack a highest priority in this letter....

If people just need to spam normal attack, that's mean the game's core battle mechanic and strategy is FAIL

...That's why they're changing it.

When Yoshi first announced auto-attack, he clearly stated that relying on it would not be enough to win.
It's in there to facilitate group communication and to save you from wearing out your "1" key.

How can people be dissapointed when they were never givin a date to begin with "Mid June" is pretty broad and they even stated that it was "At the earliest mid june" So anyone who is dissapointed needs to learn how to read.

My point was, they are better off not giving any dates or guestimates of dates until they have them locked in and are officially releasing something.

Exactly. This is what they've done, is NOT given us an exact date. Slippage of a couple weeks for testing the dungeon is actually a pretty good result, given that software development usually takes double the expected time.

It would appear that one of the people who have to "learn how to read" is Yoshi-P:

We just need to secure enough time for testing and optimizing balance…which, I’m afraid, will push the patch behind schedule.

I would imagine that comment is because he knows people are going to "Expect" the patch tomorrow even when he stated "At the earliest"

Hold the f*ck up. You just got done telling me that people that expect stuff in june need to learn how to read (implying they are idiots). Now your saying that even though Yoshi specifically uses the words "behind schedule", the "schedule" itself is an imaginary one created by the players and not one that is trying to be upheld by the developers. And you have a problem with MY logic? We could walk through the holes in yours dude.

Whats wrong with Yoshi-P pandering to the forums? He understands people thought he meant "Expect patch by the 15th" once the coments had been relayed to his team by the community reps. Why wouldn't he adress it in that manner?

What did you expect Yoshi to say? "Yeah were not actually delayed because we didn't promise you anything...idiots" No he has to be respectfull to the community no matter how daft it is. If people thought he meant "Patch on the 15th" he has to run on what the community is assuming, people would cry if he called people out for acting like babies because of a delay that he told us was probable from the get-go.

Nothing wrong with my logic.

*edit*

I'm not overtly calling people idiots, but people need to not take things out of context such as "Well he said mid june...maybe so it's obviously mid-june" and totally ignore the whole "As early as" part.

Software development time is almost always under-estimated. Humans are naturally optimistic when it comes to their ability to complete a task.

Saw an interesting study while I was in school - 80% of people think they are better than average (when polled about pretty much their skill at anything).
