This is a perfect example that its better to not give a hard end date, but say it'll be done ASAP or when its ready.

This.

We see deadlines not being met "every day" in this industry. Game launches being postproned left and right, release dates being moved, crunch time for months and so on. Developers need to cut down on the promises and wait for certainty before they open their mouths.

But then people will whine about not enough transparency. Amazing times to be alive.

Wow Darth you sure have a pretty high sense of self importance. So what do you want, no communicvation and stuff just appears out of the blue or what we have, open communication and sometimes things are delayed or late (which they are not yet in this case but I guess that doesn't matter)?

I would bet that the majority of people would prefer the latter. And in the 'real world' people miss meetings, deadlines and the like often, things come up, life happens, again check your sense of self importance.

Self Importance? WTF?

All the issues GGG has are totally self-inflicted. They have NOTHING to do with me, or any of the players.

Lets quickly review a few major points:

1. Massive technical issues at launch, with a Bex meme post that everything went smooth. Killed on Reddit, Twitter, and here. Rightfully so. It was bad.
2. Three weeks before anyone could really interact with league. Not to mention all the bugs with job skills, door interactions, mobs stacking at doors, gems, follower gear, trinkets not working. Some are still a problem. Go ahead and review all the patch notes after launch.
3. PS4 Client was completely broken for weeks. Literally couldn't play PoE on an entire platform... just wow.
4. False bans tied to Awakened PoE trade overlay causing people to be banned for weeks until support could review. Just take a vist to the help section of the forums.
5. Balance issues abound from loot to currency drops. Alberon's boots, Iron Commander, a handful of gems, brooches, shit I could really go on and on here.
6. Questline was drip fed, or not ready, who knows which. But the contracts were so rare, only a miniscule amount of folks have killed all the bosses and finished the story arc.
7. Worst Case scenario on stash and affinities update (this thread)
8. Chris puts out a post indicating the developer team took on too much and really screwed the pooch. He is now personally involving himself for the next league.

I don't know how in the fuck you could say this is about me, or any other PoE player / customer. Jesus the PoE Defensive Force in this thread today. Like moths to a flame. It's pathetic.

I’m perfectly willing to accept COVID-19 as an excuse for a lot of things - less so the fundamental backtracks on how heists work, but certainly delays on launch dates.

Still waiting for that Mac client, too, unless there was an update on that I missed. But I expected it would be delayed and I’m not particularly upset.

I guess for all the critiques I have for GGG, taking their time on releases has never been one of them. Let them take the time they need. It’ll be broken if they don’t.

Yes, they shouldn’t have announced a date and yes, they might need to be apologetic if they don’t meet it. To me that’s a far lesser issue than other problems this league.

probably gonna charge us 100 pts

Three days left.

Three days will pass. And when they cannot deliver, it will become your fault because they will say it’s posts like these that prevents more open communications.

Decent number of alternate quality gems didn't work on league release, some challenges were bugged, as well as Heist gameplay had number of critical bugs.

So I would like to have a beta test perion for such important feature which could lead to item loss. Last month of league is good for that, at least losing some currency wouldn't hurt as much as on start of league when you still need to complete your build.

I'm not sure they have an internal alpha up 30 days before launch let alone a beta.

There's a reason patch notes aren't ready to be posted until 2 days before the league launch.

Talk about moth's to a flame, this thread is full of them. You all sound like bad 90s movie villains giving GGG an ultimatum. Nowhere did I say that GGG is blameless or has not had issues with this (and other) leagues and numerous other issues in the past. My point in this thread is with this thread, ie: you guys shouting into the ether about an arbitrary deadline GGG gave for a feature.
I understand now that there is no reasoning in regard to this, you feel that GGG owes you this feature by the date they aimed for come hell or high water. Acting in this manner more than likely means that their communication will lessen and become more obtuse when they do speak, becoming for you guys a self fulfilling prophecy.

Of course there is a reason for the post. Its highlights a significant larger problem. Are Stash Affinities the end of the world? No.

We want GGG to stop punching themselves in the fucking face.
