Just imagine how long Kurns Tower is going to take (has taken)!

Defiant · 03-10-2009, 11:19 AM

I rather they take the time and push this update as functional / bug free as possible.

There are times when timescales are important.

Agreed... but is this one of them? Sure it'd be nice if it was going live today, but in the grand scheme of things... we be ok.

claim the item as promised in the Beckett's magazine promotion...
Anyone know what that is?^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And OMG Kurns tower... I Leveled all my alts there in eq1 Such a amazing zone. I hope they make it exactly like eq1. Non-Instanced and contested FTW!

As much fun as it would be to run the new zones today, I'd rather it not be full of bugs. Timescales are often important but EQ2 isn't something you have to worry about getting fined by the federal government for not having updated RIGHT NOW!!1!

SoE almost never releases anything on time in any case.

Being a software developer myself, I can tell you a fundamental truth: 90% of the customers (at least in bigger companies) are fucking retards who don't want to work and do not comprehend their business anyway. And I don't mean they're assholes. They probably are. But more importantly, they're both dumb and don't give a shit. So all they do is complain about stuff being late or stuff not being as they wanted it to be (but they didn't mention how it should be beforehand, ofc).

You can always bet on Duke.

DNF, 2009 - calling it right now

Also, I subscribed to that fucking magazine, where's my item codes.

Even when they do want to work, and also know their business, they still don't know what they 'want' or fail big time to communicate it adequately. That's why the expectation always differs from the realisation. Unfortunately, IT is always blamed and as senior management 'understand' the business but not IT, the situation is exacerbated.

Anyway, slightly off-topic there and agree with previous posters, rather it was right late than wrong early.

IMO that shit needs to be sent to live, get it really tested and ran through the ringer. We all know SoE accomplishes more through hotfixes then any other means.

Too bad they didn't spend that long actually making the expansion worth a shit before they released it! Yaaaaaaay!!
