New season is delayed???

[niaerniopawrjnko]

What the ♥♥♥♥

Every year my expectations for the gaming industry becomes lower and lower yet somehow these developers always find a way to disappoint. I dont even know what to say at this point, a studio of 100+ people and this is how they run it??? I would genuinely want to see a day in the life of a EHG dev, are they just playing video games all day???

It's GGG's fault, go blame them. Most people support EHG's decision. It was best for the company, and for the game overall.

Just want to take a moment to reflect on how crazy you sound ranting on something so trivial and how sane i am.

With all the real people issues out there and the stressful weeks i have had recently this really helped me put in to perspective how well off i truly am, that i am not upset over the delay of an update in one game on Steam.

Thank you for this. It was a metaphorical breath of fresh air.

Yes it is the end of the world !
Otherwise take information before talking about something you dont know.

You gave Lost Ark a positive review, you clearly have very low standards. Get blocked

It won't.

What's funny is the crying and coping you are doing in this topic. I hope this topic continues

I truly don't understand why everyone is so pissed off about an extra 2 weeks.

Well setting aside the people who made plans, the fringe subset of people who took time off etc. There is the implication that the developers are scared to compete. Competition is healthy and drives innovation after all, and the notion that LE will continue to avoid (as this is not the first time they have done so) it is not a good look. Now you may agree or not, I am not trying to assuage your position, just explain it.

I plan not to work on 3 and 4 april to play LE but i will do something else now.
So what do you think would happen if they did not change their plan ?
On 4 april i will be playing LE with you ? and how many people ?
I prefere wait 2 weeks and have more chance to have a lot of player for season like i will test MG season

if a user decides to take time off for an event and its rescheduled, well that is sometimes what happens with any event not just a game.

Honestly what I think would happen is nothing different. I still maintain that LE and PoE are just two different games appealing to two fundamentally different audiences. Look around how how users have posted about how they would have played LE regardless of the delay?

So the way I look at it is like this, what is to gain? and to risk? The playerbase of LE broadly speaking was going to play LE anyway, so what is the gain? the risk though is the fringes, the players who were on the fence so to speak. Those players might look at it like, wow the developers are not confident in their game I will stick with something else for not and check back later. With most things the "core" tends not to move, and the gains tend to be on the fringes so in my view this was a risk with no upside.

Does that make sense?

That's pretty much what I was looking for. This is a good response honestly.I can't remember the last time I took off of work to play a game like that. At 38, it seems a little ridiculous to me personally, but glad people still do something nice for themselves to unwind from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ grind that is life.

No one's fault. If everyone feels that LE is truly better, then what better way to showcase that then to launch in the 2nd and blow PoE2 out of the water? Right? People have and always will play the thing they want to more then something else. If so many back the decision, all those people should have been playing on the 2nd.

Trying to further justify the change in date reeks of a failure to stand behind their product and copium behavior from players who have already stated they would play LE over PoE2 anyways.

I do not like LE...but it did have a better showcase of what is coming then PoE2 and I would have played it over PoE2 had the dates stayed as they were.

Also, you are clueless as to why GGG announced the 4th. You were not at any meetings nor an employee. Blame EHG for not standing by their product or blame those who complained because they wouldn't be able to play both in a time frame that suited THEM. Normal people would play what they want and play the other thing when they were done with the first game.
