How To Improve The Update Experience

[TheThreadWeaver]

I like to watch TeamFourStar, a popular anime abridging group on the internet. Recently, in response to repeated questions about when the next episode of their abridged series would release, they added the following progress bar:

 

 

As you can see, the bar has both visual and percentage values grading completion. It also details which phase of production the video has entered.

 

I propose that DE add a similar functionality to their website in order to increase transparency between themselves and the players, as well as allow us to know exactly where they are in terms of progress in a simple, at-a-glance format.

 

I feel that this increased transparency would help prevent a lot of the butthurt, such as what came to pass with the recent Grineer Systems debacle, as well as cut down on the "Soon"isms.

But if DE had one of those, it would be constantly jumping around values.

Probably. But at least we would know where they were. It would still cut down on uncertainty.

Turn the wait into a drinking game instead!  Every time you see a thread about Update 13, take a shot!  By the time it comes out... You'll, umm, be too busy painting your floor in a lovely shade of vomit...

This was a bad idea, and I apologize.
