It's not just that. it's the amount of time too. If it was 1 or 2 week delay like last update then the last minute status update would be easy to swallow. "At least 2 months" is so crazy that I still think he might have meant to say "at most 2 months"
Yeah it is hard to swallow "at least two months". Cause if we were to go off the march 1st post, they should only have had about 4 weeks of work left. I have to imagine its a combination of them miscalculating the work they had left and personal issues. Hopefully you are right and WWG meant to say "at most 2 months".
I'm sorry, I don't know why you quoted me in this post. It has nothing to do with my (genuine) question, which wasn't even addressed to you.
I'm sorry, the man who made it clear he will never give a hard deadline, so that he would never have to go over it, said he wouldn't delay the game again? When did he do that? Because I'm looking at the updates of the last year and a half, and I can't find anywhere where he said that.
You mean to tell me that people don’t like being misled and lied to??? What a shocking concept. “So you’re telling me if he didn’t lie and mislead his fans, they wouldn’t be as angry?” How is this even an actual question you need to pose.
uh... what? the problem is he missed his prediction. missing his prediction made the "lie". if he just worked on the game without giving a prediction, there's nothing that he could have lied about. how is that so hard to understand?
Huh? If he said nothing people would still be wondering where the hell the update is that he said was 93% completed at the beginning of January, likely claiming that to be a lie.
not really. the argument is his predictions. if he never did percentages or any form of tell of how much he thought he had complete, there would be no lie to poke at. it would just waiting for teasers and see when it drops.
If he never said anything people would be mad he never said anything. Sure, there'd be less people mad but he'd probably have less patrons as well. This is a pointless thought experiment and idk what point youre trying to make.
We know he's doing epilogues, and if he's this far behind, why not just save a couple scenes for the epilogues? In December he said it was a slow month in which he had the flu and obviously the holidays yet he still completed 4% of the update. We're three months away from that point and he thinks he needs another couple?
That was the truth. He shouldn't have made this random announcement.
I didn't say, "say nothing". I said, anything to do when it's going to release. He would still posts status updates every 15 days as usual to show his work and what scenes he's done. things that get people excited for the upcoming chapter.
This is weird. you say free players. Just call it what they are, pirates and that's fine. I'm guilty of pirating games too, it's why were all on this site. The way you word it makes it sound like WWG gives out a free edition. Which some devs do.
Most of his recent status updates are literally just a percentage...
I know. I'm talking about that being the root the problem. He gave %'s and timeframes and he wasn't on the mark. The forum exploded. So i called out that the anger stems from the dev's post about his timeframes. So i'm saying that the anger is really dumb and that can be cancelled out by the dev not posting things like %'s and guesses. Instead just work on the game and keep us updated. his pledgers are not the ones mad that he missed his guess.
The root of the problem is this update is taking forever and people are frustrated, and anything they could complain about, they would.
It's not what the root of the arguments for pages has been. Not even my words, but theirs. The complaints have been the missed deadline he set on himself. it's all the complaints have been about. The length itself is not what people are mad about. The pledgers have been patient and will continue to wait. So no, length is not the cause of the pages of debating.
