That date never got pushed back which means all work from january 9th on is still slated for LU43. Which if all goes according to schedule would be submitted by february 9th for testing. 1-2 more days of testing is not going to kill anyone like the multiple threads suggest.

Are you dumb?

RoK released in November, LUs are supposed to be monthly updates, since RoK we've had one. November, December, January, February. 4 months with 2 updates. That means we're 2 behind. If this one pushes much farther it will delay the next one as well, which gets them way off track.

I also know for a fact that shit wasn't all submitted for this LU by the 9th, that is complete and total horseshit.

But there is also a big possibilty that it won`t change anything too. Additional 10-20 hours of testing will never fix major bugs.

Your post makes no sense.

If LU43 wasn't delayed at all, it should be scheduled for release in about 1-2 weeks. Are you telling me they are going to release LU43 1 or 2 weeks after LU42? I promise you they won't. That's why you see 4-5 weeks between each liveupdate. Whether it has already been tested or slated for LU43 does NOT mean it isn't going to be delayed. It's going to be pushed back due to LU42 being pushed back, plain and simple. And since LU43 is being pushed back because of LU42 being pushed back, that means LU44 will be pushed back because of LU43 being pushed back because of LU42 being pushed back. It's a chain effect.

Hi retard, The shorrt bus drop you off early?
Please show me the qoute where live updates are suppsoed to be monthly updates. Or is this more assumed bullshit your pulling out of your stretched out creampie of an ass. Secon the 4.5week avearge was pulled off the guys fucking graph. It is called simple math you should try it sometime. Third i am going by the dev qoute which said everything had to be submitted by the 9th instead of your sperm encrusted lips. Did something get added after the 9th i do not no nor care. My point was testing probably has little to do with live update content delays as they are seperate departments.

yeh gungo so they had Epics and Epic questline ready and 75% tuned for RoK release (a dev said that), actually they were at that % of progress before RoK but they had to pause because of wildifres, and about this we could start some debates but let's say they're right fo the sake of making things not overcomplicated. So in 3 months (make it even 2 and 3 weeks removing Xmas holidays) they couldn't come up with finishing the tuning of the last 25% of the work? Come on, it was surely the thing at the top of the priority list (except for urgent gameplay expoits/bugs which i doubt were that many), since Epics was to be one of the Main Features of the Expansions, yet they say they need more time because the LU is big?

What is big?

Epics that were 75% ready 2months and 3 weeks ago, that even a single Undergraduate could complete alone in that given time?
Epic Cloaks that were made by a totally different Dev and are, as far as i know, 100% ready from at least 1 week?
Mannequins (sp?) that ok maybe took 3-4 weeks of coding if done at late evening, but then again should not require extensive testing once they're ready?
Introducing a lvl 2 spell that takes something like 15mins to code and test and validate?
Introducing a Netstat window that takes approximately 4 hours (maybe less depending on what info it offers and if they were easily obtainable) of coding and that evenif it doesn't work too good it's just cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay at all?
Nerfing a couple of spells?

Then what?

Testing is a different department and handled by different people then the ones that create content for LU's. Maybe it is possible the 3 testers eq2 has needed more time to fully test 24 epic quests then a normal live update. So while the work involved was completed and they are working on seperate issues. The testing personal may need additional time for a much larger amount of content needed to test then usual. There is no correlation that testing will delay a future update which will likely have substantially less material to test.

Oh i forgot Avatars that will probably be either trivial or overpowered and/or bugged that noone probably tested because i doubt they have 24 HC Raiders in their QA team

Should be much less imho. Any computer running windows can show ping, packet loss and other stuff. It`s basic function.
