Bad decision by SE

[Artemiz]

I have one thing I like to ask. Why people here defending the game as if they're life depends on it? It's just a game as you say,no? Do I miss something? Now if SE was more nice to the costumers they give a small compensation for this. Lots 9f scamy f2p games do this.

I don't see anyone defending SE as if their lives depend on it, just people saying it isn't a big deal. My personal reason for supporting the decision SE has made is the stance I take is to give no quarter to a publisher if they release a buggy mess just to hit a deadline. I believe games should come out when they are ready and not before. I'm not giving SE any more respect than any other publisher. Delaying a title because it isn't quite ready is exactly what I think these people should do.

Why ask questions you don't really want the answers for?

Precisely, no big deal.
Played a few titles were I wish they had delayed launches, some by quite a while.

I normally don't get in on stuff like this, but it is flat annoying. Everyone has a right to be annoyed and in fact, a right to be pissed off. We were told by a company a product WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY TAKEN OUR MONEY FOR (this is kinda key), is getting delayed.

And if you read any fine print on those sales it will indeed tell you that a release date is not guaranteed. If you feel that slighted, then you have every right to be pissed, I agree with that. However, if you wanted to send them a message, then cancel your pre-order and get your money back. Also, them already having you money means very little as you paid for a pre-order. You still have that product. It's not like when they announced the delay they told everyone that their preorders are invalid.

MMO's have delays. Get over it. Stop crying.

Does it suck? Sure.
Can you do anything about it? No.

How dare you express disappointment! REEEE

Seriously, it needs to stop shaming and belittle people who take their time to express their disappointment in the delay.

Your comment contributes nothing and you ask people not to express said feelings cause there is nothing that can be done, yes of course we can't affect said decision but feedback is feedback and people must be allowed to express their feelings - this goes for both sides but let's be constructive at very least.

The people in this thread demanding compensation for this delay need to touch grass. If you truly think you're entitled to compensation, why not play New Genesis, where compensation gets offered for any kind of disruption? Try not to look too hard at the actual game you'd be playing though, it's kinda terrible.

I myself was affected by this decision, but i know and trust Yoshi P, it's for the best and the game will be there from launch forward, even if i play a little less then expexcted, so stop those weird complaints.

To counter this, and stop you ruining a lot of players fun and the want to enjoy the game and story properly, you need to either honour your original release date, or the release needs to be postponed until at least February or March 2020, so the whole player base can enjoy the story without rushing or skipping, to keep up with endgame progression.

Don't you think they would honor the original release date if they could? You act as if the accountants at SE enjoy postponing revenue and the devs and QA folks love lingering on the same content that they've already poured years into. This is every bit as, if not more, painful for them as it is for you.

As for your suggestion of arbitrarily postponing the release until February to suit your personal preference, I suggest a compromise. Let the rest of us enjoy the release in December, as they've currently planned. In the meantime you can opt not to log into the game until March or February, and then you can enjoy the story without rushing or skipping at that time. I don't understand this obsession with keeping up with endgame progression. It's not like the game is going anywhere. Unlike WoW, there are no limited time achievements that are going to be beyond your reach if you decide to take a three month break from raiding. No one is forcing you to rush through or skip anything.

Free things? For a minor delay? Let’s look at it this way. Before the Endwalker delay there was only one other, a patch during the height of the covid epidemic. For a game this old, with as many expansions and patches it’s had since 2.0 that’s bloody good going. How about congratulating that rather then standing there with hands out stretched.
