I take it you're one of the many TCGO regulars who have all mass stampeded over here to complain and whine about the fact that the game is still not up?
I was going to avoid this, but whatever...
Those of you complaining its taking to long and the company is "wronging" you-It's clear you have never in your lives worked with coding of any sorts to any extent, or you would realize that bugs DO happen, ESPECIALLY when editing code to have new features or things to that extent. And, by the way, when these bugs are found and then corrected, they have to be tested. If for some reason the correction doesn't work 100% correctly, or if it doesn't react quite right with something (IE Rocky Helmet not working, then you change the code, it may not work to apply over Lucario's ability anymore. If it doesn't, then you have to diagnose and fix that) then you have to spend time figuring out why, finding a fix, implementing the fix, then testing it again!
Also, computers have a funny way of not all reacting the same. For example, if the TCGO team has been testing on one set of computers, with even a minute hardware difference, there can be issues when you transfer this to another set of computers. (Remember yesterday when Liesik updated us with the news that the game had been moved onto the servers? This could've resulted in errors on these machines)
At this point, I'm going to guess they've all been testing the game on different configurations of computer at this point, just making checks to make sure no code blatantly just doesn't work. It's the right thing to do to ensure the product isn't a joke. (AKA Avoid last time)
In essence, give them a break. Would you want to be in their shoes with a bunch of angry, (excuse it, but it's true) selfish, people that have 0 understanding of what goes into this at all? Really, would you? If you've answered yes, it's clear you've never tried making estimates on things that can only be estimated very broadly until you are near the end.
You want the game now, eh? Would you rather them spend these few days fixing every bug they can find or release a version as bugged as the last one? You know, it would essentially be killing the brand if they released it as bugged as the last one, because people would just get fed up. Consider it.
In any case, I'm completely ashamed of the community's response last night, and find it appalling that this group of people, who pride themselves on being the best community in gaming, acting like children. Yes, children are the ones who go around "I want it NOW" despite not knowing what complications be there preventing them from getting it "NOW". Children also go around whining that they're entitled to everything exactly how and when they want it. I've seen more of that in this thread then I've seen in anything in the history of The Pokegym, or frankly any Pokemon forum.
Another thing I've never seen so much of-Updates from the guys up top. This is a FANTASTIC thing for them to be doing, when they could choose to leave us all in the dark. Instead, they choose to keep us informed. In light of this, it's incredible how ungrateful some of you people are.
And for goodness' sake-If you aren't satisfied YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY IT. Nobody is sitting there threatening you with harm if you don't play it!
And to head this off-I know I'm going to get at least 5+ responses "Your a Senior/young, you don't know anything." If you don't reply, I can guarantee that many people will completely shrug my post off because of it. Take a second and ignore the screen name and the rainbow penguin picture under it, and your bias from all the times I've offended you (You and I both know who you are) and just think about what your posting before you post it. It'd do the community a great favor.
I'm just as disappointed we can't play the game yet. Doesn't mean I'm running around here trashing the people running it because I can.
Anyway, to all who have worked on this game, thank you very much for all the hard work and effort you've put into it. I very much look forward to the game.
king piplup you're so boring.... i wish the game comes out soon, so i can stop reading you complain about complains. that' s the most annoying stuff to read when you're already upset about something that is going wrong. :nonono:
Also it's NOT FANTASTIC that i have to come to this sour topic to have vague updates, while they have an official channel and they're not using it.
