aetemes.2603 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I don't think a delay will achieve what you are hoping for anyways..the industries just don't care for quality that much anymore it seems they know they can get away with much less and with no need to *innovate*..kitten if there are people who buy every new version of iphone do you really need to do much just make people pursue therapy through purchasing bs and talking about what they bought 😕. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't matter when it's going to release, Blizzard is always keeping track of new releases so whenever Anet's releasing EoD they'll also release something for retail or TBC or classic fresh anyways. Can't dodge everything. Cyberpunk showed that a delay is the better option. When Anet needs some months more, so it is. I really would have a better addon than a half thing with bugs or half assed features. Sure it shouldn't be 1 year but 2-4 months more i really do not care. Don't forget also the Crunch. Devs schould stay healthy and have fun what they do at work. For my taste this addon lacks some major features. PvP in this game really needs some development. Since years the same modis. Progressive Guilds asking since RLS for a dedicated GvG Modus with leaderboards. Edited October 20, 2021 by Grebcol.5984 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if a game that was delayed multiple times and still released in a sorry state is the best example to give. Generally I don't think another EoD delay is needed due to other games of differing genres releasing in the same month, but that's something Anet has to figure out. I'll just say delaying a game long enough might also end up either in a Duke Nukem Forever / Crowfall situation or Star Citizen development limbo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet delivered 2 Addons. This Addon is very important for ArenaNet and the Franchise. So when they are in need for more time, im Ok with it.

I should have clarified that. It was just a general statement about delays not always being the best, unrelated to GW2. I share your opinion that if Anet needs more time for development, they should delay it a second time. Like you, I don't think they'll end up in a development limbo.

OP is suggesting a delay to dodge competition, not to deliver a more polished product. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't delay another month of two and get grand new features out of it. At this stage the work is refining what they've built, fixing things, etc. Also, why would an MMO care about when a racing game and Dying Light 2 release? Every month has game releases. No one talked about new features i talked about taking more time to polish what they already are working on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested a delay because it acomplishes both and i also said in my post that much of what has been shown has been mixed so far. I just expanded on the competition side of things because ppl often ignore that part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't care about any of the other ones you listed. So, ANet, please aim for that February release! Always competition for games, but most people know that GW2 isn't going to win any of them, if we're going by history. No new players come around, the veterans waddle out through attrition, and the game dies. All the unique and bespoke pleasantries that only consistent players enjoy will never be seen, because this game has a penchant for being a wallflower. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tukaram.8256 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) No reason to delay it, if it is ready (and it looks like it is). Delays just kitten of the customers... 😎 ~Edit~ "kitten" is such a lame censor ha ha Edited October 22, 2021 by Tukaram.8256 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
