Our Reasoning Behind the 3.13 Launch Delay

Thank you for honesty! I am really looking forward to a polished league, and maybe I will even try heist, if you there would be some flashback event. Keep up the good work!

Hey, I just hope ggg gives the same treatment with the long awaited Diablo IV. It's been awaited for more than a decade.

It would be cruel to make us choose just one to play. It will also affect streamers shit, since I'm certain many of them will want to play Diablo IV.

:'D

To everyone that complained saying it wasn't due to business reasons or revenue.

Just want to say.

Told you so.

Idiots.

So... you're confirming that the reason the leagues have been shit for up to a month after launch is because of the decision years ago to cut the development cycle from 4 months to 3 months.

Instead of spending a month testing a complete league, you spend zero time testing a league and wait for all your paying customers to do the testing for you.

"

It also gives us a month more time for quality assurance, and probably means that we can actually use our Alpha realm for its intended purpose. Alpha testers aren't allowed to talk about what they see on Alpha, but the state of the game at that point is usually a bit of a shitshow. I think we only managed to get one actual league up and playable this year before its release. That will change if we have this extra month between completion of the expansion and its release.

Blight didnt receive much attention not because of WoW Classic, but because it was a bad league design and still is.



" followed by a kickass expansion."


yes a League without 3/4 of the content aint working, without gamebreaking bugs/exploits on the first couple days. Thats what my dreams are made off,
if u just would´ve said next league will need more time because we dont want to suffer the same blamage we did the last couple leagues that would´ve been just fine.

Cyberpunk IS NOT A MMO ! ! !

do ppl that are still mad at GGG/chris for that decision have that little going on in their lives?
...and I thought I play too much

was the f-bomb profanity necessary in an offical post, though?

all in all this whole fiasco stinks of chris not having trust or confidence in this game... you just keep advertising cyberfunk as if you want poe players to go play that game instead

maybe read it again after puberty hits

Thanks Chris. I was sort of miffed yesterday, but this makes a lot more sense to me today. Cheers.

"While I have been mentally feeling a lot better after committing to this decision yesterday, I still can't get over the thought that we have let you guys down. I promise that we will work hard to make sure there's plenty of fun PoE stuff going on over the holidays, followed by a kickass expansion."

Yo fuck the haters, as long as there are fun events to engage with we're good.

People take their dislike of Harvest/Heist and the fact that you don't cater to their every request and channel that dislike towards whatever the GGG communication de jour is. Some people refuse to be pleased, even when you give them what they ask for. No sense twisting yourself into a pretzel for them.

I love your transparency and can’t thank you enough for all of the effort you put into this game!
