Game Update 5.2: The War for Iokath Delay

I'd rather things done right than done fast, but this is pathetic. 10 hours before the patch, a handful of hours after floating about how your patch would be earlier than usual, you delay it by a week?

 

Incredible. Not sure what I expected though, this seems par for the course these days. Great message to be sending to the people who'd planned to come back for this update, too.

Currently, the XP and CXP event is going to turn off as scheduled tonight. However, with the delay we definitely want to keep it running for you for another week. We are exploring options to turn it back on tomorrow through the new 5.2 date. I will post updates as I have them.

Exploring options?

 

Why are you exploring options. There is nothing to explore....turn it back on and leave it on for one more week.....thats it.

Hey folks,

 

We want to ensure our updates release at the highest quality possible and Game Update 5.2: The War for Iokath is no different. At this point in time, we are not satisfied with the quality of the Iokath update. For that reason, we are delaying the release of 5.2 by one week, to release on April 18th. This allows the team more time to make improvements to address some of the issues still pending. We did not make this decision lightly as we are very eager for all of you to get your hands on the new storyline, reunite with old Companions, or try your hand at taking down the God of Rage himself.

 

As soon as we know timing for the next maintenance I will post that information. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. We do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We will post the patch notes either today or first thing tomorrow so that you know what is planned for 5.2!

 

Thanks everyone.

I like that. Near the top, delayed for one week to release on 4/18. However, in the second paragraph, "As soon as we know the timing for the next maintenance".... So which is it? Next week on 4/18 or an undetermined date sometime in the future.. maybe.... :rak_02::rak_02::rak_02::rak_02::rak_02:

Perhaps one game developer among so many managers is not enough to get an MMO up and running.

The MBAs shall be fired and replaced by people who know how to improve a game and make it successfull for years and not to collect cash for one quarter.

Hopefully one week will fly by fast.. will the new hypercrate still be released tomorrow or is that delayed too?

 

No way. CM MUSTN'T be delayed!!! Or heads will roll, you know?

 

Actual game content? Psh, it's for those suckers so they can better buy the CM items. But it's not so important. ;)

Really?

 

You guys have had how long to get this right, now? This does not inspire confidence. This isn't okay. You can't announce and then delay a major update at the last second. Had you announced this delay a couple of weeks ago, that would be different.

 

I feel like, at a minimum, you owe all subscribers a free week of sub time to make up for the delay, when many people have already subscribed with the expectation and intention of getting involved in new content tomorrow. This is completely unacceptable.

 

 

I am so glad I didn't resub at all. Was hoping to get a week of play in but I leave for work on the 17th. So no playing for me.

As someone who wants to work in the industry, I'd rather wait another week for a proper product than to have an early release with countless bugs. Good luck for the devs to fix those although as others have stated, we should've been warned beforehand since the update would be happening in just a few hours, perhaps let us know of why it can't be deployed and such. Also let CXP/XP event run another week, and perhaps an in-game compensation as well like a pet or a mount, it could be Iokath themed.
