Bad decision by SE

[TalonBlades]

I am writing this today, as SE made a very poor judgment, which effects many of us across the globe, and to this, will cause issues for far too many of us.
December and January is a busy time for retail, and it requires full staff to avoid disruption. Many of us, kept our annual leave days, so we could play and enjoy the Endwalker story at its original release dats, this will now not happen, because of the bad decision to move it into the worst time of year for retail workers. Some like myslef won't be able to enjoy the story until at least February or March now, or to be able to keep up with savage raiding, will have to skip the story entirely, as of this poor new release.

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.

This is one of the worst decisions in SE history along with the making of "The Avengers" game.

As he said in the live letter he didn't want to but he wanted to make sure that everything was covered into the standards that he wants players to experience. I get it it sucks especially if for those that have or did request time off in order to play the expansion.

I wouldn't be surprised that is a corporate decision to challenge WoW timewalker event. Gotta fight FOMO with FOMO.

I don't blame yoshi at all. He's just a messenger

Some people seem not minding to have Raubahn Extreme Mode come back, this time with a mechanical arm made by Garlond Ironwork.

I have good news- the game isn't going away & you can actually play it when you have time

I'd rather have a good experience & am happy with the decision to delay

[TalonBlades]

I agree with having a good experience, buuut this has messed up a lot of plans, and will be damaging going forwards, and a lot of the player base will be significantly behind because of it. 2 months I can agree with being a suitable delay, not 2 weeks.

Look can we be real here. Take a step out from the game and see the world for what it is - ruthless. I'm sure this wasn't a Yoshi P decision, but one from the higher ups that are probably fed up with blizzards practices. I am too, they always pull stupid crap like what they are trying to do for endwalker's initial release. In my eyes, it is great that they are playing with them at their own game, and this isn't a FOMO thing for them. It is to make sure they get the player count they have worked so hard to attain, so let them have that without being fruity about it. Gaming companies are still businesses, you have to respect that fact, and at least square as a business are not disgusting like Blizzard are. Let them have this one and just wait.

If you booked a holiday just shift it real quick.

Oh thank god I have more time to work on my alts before EW.

People are seriously being far too over dramatic about this..

It's unfortunate for situations like yours, but the content won't go anywhere and the savage raids can always be done later (with sync options if it gets echo added).

It was a decision by Yoshi-P, not higher ups. We are all expecting there will be more congestion than we have ever seen and this will be worse if there is large bug that isn't found by QA, so they need more time.
