Thread: Sooooo...late May for 2.28?

My point being I do not see how SE finds it acceptable for an unofficial translation to be the only form of communication about the delay for a million plus subscribers. The Q&A translation posts were great, it just seems like a fairly big thing to leave out.

Down to 2 days left, still no official word on "the end of May" turning into a week out of June...and possibly turn into "Well... we will be at E3 and don't want to release when we aren't there to support any major issues" To be fair, I guess they could wait until late night on the 31st to post that it's delayed a week and it would still count for something.

Seems like any time a date/release window is mentioned you should go ahead and add 2+ weeks.

I think this is why so many devs just don't give a date at all. I think I like that better than being repeatedly disappointed when deadlines are missed, or changed with no explanation for weeks (20% echo in coil)

That's what I was wondering.

Not criticizing or anything. You do what you gotta do. It just sounds... odd.

Only thing I can think of is hardcore generator testing. But where I work they just start the generator once a week to make sure it turns over in the timeframe it should. We don't take all the power down in the building for it.

It's a Japan thing, varying from company to company, but it's just something they have to do.

For those who understand JP, here's some supplementary info/examples:

This explains it all.. And just thinking of equipment that runs 24/7 with no inspections.... (in which the system has to be shut down) can cause serious hazards.. especially working with Nucelur powered Generators.. imagian it.. it getting no yearly inspection and then something happens that causes the Power plant to explode and cause major radiation leaks... Oh man.. That scares the hell out of me and I don't even live in Japan.

Also.. The Google translations for the page are pretty good.
