Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Perhaps, this time the Devs would rather not work overtime on the weekend. 🤷♂️ 21 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Destroyer, They work EoD for many years. Please relax anticipation until 28th monday. You have had things happen a monday before. We understand that need many day off for play but please understand that complicate for many devs to make a release a Friday. 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash.2681 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 According to leaked info on reddit it will be feb 28th (honestly I'm not surprised they picked the latest possible date that still fits in their earlier announcment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyninja.2954 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) It's the 28th and you can literally feel the crunch that is going into that date, with the developers certainly trying their best to stick to their promised February release date. Releasing on the 25th, Friday, would mean that any and nearly all work related to day 1 fixes, issues, patches, bugs, crashes, you name it, would have to be done on the weekend of that Friday. Hardly a great sell. Releasing on Monday allows for an entire workweek to fix any issues which might need fixing short term. Yes, this does mean many players will have to wait until the weekend after or play with very limited time during the week. What's the rush? The next expansion is probably years off anyway.

Danikat.8537 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Isn't the unofficial rule of MMOs that you never play on patch day anyway? And not just because most of them have to be taken offline for updates so it won't be available to play most of that day. If anything it's probably better to wait a few days for the inevitable follow up patches. I understand being excited for EoD, but MMOs are designed to be played long-term, not rushed through in a weekend, so I don't think it makes a big difference which day of the week it releases. (For me it certainly doesn't, I won't have much time to play until March anyway.) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the week-end later, and you can play EoD then! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyer.7503 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) If not that not important for you play day one. That not same for all player. For many player that a good completion to participate at 1st Dragon Stand (exemple). You discovery a new country and you can find new item. You are 1st people in 1 think and that a good completion and have never equivalent of all gold in Guild Wars.

Randulf.7614 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 28th a much better date. Friday for PoF caused too many issues due to bugs and crashes. I’d rather a Monday and give them time to focus and a weekend to relax. Yes to 28th 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Also it’s irrelevant. The day is set to their schedule. No forum requests will change the date they have worked their schedules around. That would be utterly absurd to think that. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson.4036 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 There is an excitement in game on launch day that is unique to experience. Everyone fresh to the new content together. So, yeah, bugs may make things difficult, but that fresh new expansion smell only lasts a short while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Either the majority of players play on a weekday, so the 'new expansion smell' only last short while...or...the majority of the players can't play during the week so that the 'new expansion smell' is still there next weekend. Which should ArenaNet cater to, and how will it make a difference to 'the new expansion smell'?

If they're having to crunch to launch, then they should delay the kitten thing. Crunch is terrible for a company and any manager that promotes/approves of it should be fired. 4 hours ago, Inculpatus cedo.9234 said: Perhaps, this time the Devs would rather not work overtime on the weekend. 🤷♂️ So starting off the week with 12-hr shifts when something inevitably breaks is better?

captrowdy.9561 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Bro. They have been killing themselves trying to get this out and you can’t wait 3 more days? So let me get this straight you want the devs to give up a weekend off so you can play?? I legit want to see what you respond. Who knows how many hours they put in they need a weekend to relax. It’s a dang game. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcShriek.5829 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 But if I buy their game for $30 doesn't that mean I own every single employee at the company and that they must do as I say or be replaced? They must also give up any life outside of work, because I have needs? 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
