Dawntrail Benchmark

[DrForester]

Assuming a late June launch, releasing the benchmark now would give about 3 months to play with the Hrothgal character creator.

I think I might be able to do it in that short a time.

Hopefully they will announce something about it at pax, maybe.

SO UH I know I keep posting nonsense here LOL, but they mentioned that they're still working on benchmark but probably will be in early May since that is when they will have media tour. So yeah, like a month in a half before the actual game launch.

You can pre order the game but you don’t know whether it will run well or not. Nice.

Well you can pre-order after if you don't know.

I know that it will because my specs are good...

I have a 4090 Jeeq. I just wanna see the damn benchmark and character creation lol. Nonetheless, the point stands that the benchmark should be out at the same time or earlier than pre-orders are available so the consumer can make an informed decision. Defending the delay helps noone.

Or the wise consumer will compare specs announced at Pax East today and make an informed decision.

The 'benchmark' is a marketing tool, not an analytics engine. It is also something that most other MMORPGs tend to skip entirely in their marketing campaigns.

Consumers can also wait until the marketing tool is released and still pre-order the expansion. It's not like Square Enix is going to prevent you from pre-ordering in late May or early June, although the physical collector's edition will most likely sell out within days of release, like it did last time.

Is this truly the level of arguments we’re making here? Just how brainwashed does Yoshi P and SE have you? Are you some kind of bot? These are serious questions. Because this a pretty low IQ statement and I mean that as respectful as possible.

Here is the definition of benchmark according to google, just for your reference since you seem to need it:
a standard or point of reference against which things may be compared or assessed.

Now, forgive me if I sound pretty confident a benchmark is an analytics tool, and forgive me for assuming if they wanted it to be a marketing tool it would be called a marketing tool. In my world, words have meaning, and they’re clearly defined. So when people make disingenuous assumptions that words mean other things they don’t actually mean, they get called out.

What’s next? Cats are dogs? The moon is the sun?

Maybe SE needs to pay you a bit more or hire better people to defend them because this isn’t cutting it.

It might be behind the scenes or in their actual intent, but officially (and by description) a benchmark is an analytics tool to check if your machine can handle a game, and is treated like so.

It makes sense to expect it close to the preorder date.

Mao hasn't seen updated specs yet. Can anyone tell Mao if Mao 3090 card is oks for DT?
