RoboticApplesWithLasers Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 would've been a nice surprise when U15 would have come out, but nope we get a hype site with an extended timer... yay. Anyone else here waiting for the day DE decides to stop flirting with us 3 months before they say, fine here is the content. i mean it generates hype but we always see the same pattern 1. Hype threads 2. anti hype threads 3. why isnt it here yet threads 4. chill your %$# threads 5. Thank you DE, we love you very much threads 6. Threads B!tching about said cycle(me) 7. Update released 8. Threads b!tching about bugginess and RNG 9. threads asking for the next prime access. Why cant de stop being so ambitious with updates. why not have made U15 "archwing" and nothing else, gotten it out faster... they didnt even have to announce it at gamescom, they could a just shown the Ice tile set and it would have been a plenty big reveal. whats stopping them from popping on red-text when the finish something and saying "sup guys, we finished the new frame, archwing and S#&$ isn't done but here this is" or "hey we got sigils implemented, you get em from achievements, for now, check the forums for a guide on em, courtesy of DE" TL;DR DE your a game manufacturer not a schoolgirl playing hard to get, stop treating us like pigs always eager for more.

RoboDoge Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Because DE is evil and they want to see us in pain? People are dying here waiting for the update. Some are even cutting their wrist because update wont be delivered today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The generation of hype is the most important thing a game company can do, moreso than giving the content itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 DE loves to build hype. It's kinda their thing. I understand your desire for the update (hell, I want it ASAP too) but the devs like hyping the community up. Not sure why, especially because of all the things you listed, but that's what they do.

RoboDoge Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well there you go. As always with hype, if you create too much, you will have proportional ( or even more ) amount of butthurt if you dont deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feallike Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The DE doesn't decide when updates come out, the servers do. They don't really know how much they have to reinforce the servers to make the update work on it without crashing the game. They just go as much as possible until it works enough times for them to be pretty sure. Also hype is very important. Hype creates more profit.

RoboDoge Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Amount of created hype+actual content delivered=large disappointment. U15 was cosmetic update and people had nothing to do week after the update. Kubrows were a mess, UI is still a mess, and what else did we got ( except Mirage )? DE created too much hype for nothing.

Zoid25 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I hate the hype site with the passion of a thousand burning suns. I hope they stop. Last time they did this they said they couldnt meet their own deadline and we had to wait another week. You would think they would learn this time but NOPE! They just decided to make the extra long wait "normal" with this new hype site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarniKang Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) The truth is... they're Emotion Vampires. That's why they hype everyone up, so that when they log into the forums, or look at all the enthusiasm or anger about a certain subject, they grow, are nourished, and feel revitalized. It feeds them more so than the black magic that is coffee. How else do you think DE Rebecca and DE Megan stay so fabulous looking? And don't get me started on what it does to DE Steve.
