lennieplop60 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I feel like DE's gonna come out on sunday saying "sorry, we're delaying it to next month, cause we gotta crush those bugs, am I right?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's almost like they should stop promising things when even they aren't sure. They haven't learned yet. Maybe next time... I'm pretty sure they have "learned" not to promise definitive release dates. They are being smart. If you know anything about application development, you would know that nothing is certain until it's live. They could have 100% of the update finish. However, what happens when they go to migrate the new build into the live client, and the transfer breaks something unforeseen? Rule #1: Never make guarantees. No matter how perfect you think you are, there will always be chance of flaw when humans are involved. Edited June 13, 2018 by AlMcFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They locked themselves in this box and I'm sure they disappointment when they delay again will be palpable and bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting. Something tells me we’re gonna get more than we expected, but I will keep my hopes at an appropriate level of hype. Doesn't seem like they're close enough to last minute bugs. They'll be at that point by Friday. EDIT: Apparently, they're confident it'll release tomorrow. Edited June 13, 2018 by A-p-o-l-l-y-o-n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying "we're aiming for this week" is still smarter than saying "the update will be on Thursday." Their statement is not as definitive as you are implying.

Just because you read it as something definitive is not DE's fault, and entirely your own problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it was DE that said it will be released this week at E3, one of the biggest annual gaming events. Finding the following announcement of "we're aiming" just a bit alarming is reasonable. This makes me think they're trying to squeeze it into this week as tight as possible, even if it means an unfortunate Friday release (which I really hope isn't the case). I'll take Thursday or Monday, anything but the second coming of SO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go read the literal Sacrifice page on this site. You know what the first line is? "Coming this week to PC, coming soon to consoles." Glad I could clear that up for you.

Sanctuary Onslaught is a valid comparison though since the hot-fixes through the weekend still didn't make the mode fully playable, that took the following week as I recall!

Megan stated that there were still people in office over the weekend fixing, but the host migration and other severe bugs were not squashed until after the weekend. If the Sacrifice comes out on Friday, it's an inevitability that there will be people working on Saturday and maybe Sunday, but Beasts has me paranoid that any major bugs with the quest may not be addressed until the following week.
