This isn't even the game folks. Nobody has actually even played the game. Even though it was promised over a year ago on these very forums. This is all just background stuff designed around the shop to get you to buy virtual jpegs of land or pay more money to move up in the picking order to be sure you get the jpeg land you have your heart set on.
You know what other game did that? Revival. You know who the lead designer was for that game? The same guy for CoE. You know what happened to Revival? https://massivelyop.com/2016/03/24/revivals-development-has-been-indefinitely-suspended/ Those quotes are from the CURRENT CoE Lead Designer made prior to joining CoE.
We haven't even scratched the levels of utter incompetence that will be shown in the actual game. This is just the appetizer.

Do they not understand, announce a date once you have 90% of the work done and all you have left to do is the cosmetic touch ups...

This person says it all.
BTW @Slapshot1188 does @Gdemami just stalk you giving you lols?
I made up my mind about this project when 2 years ago they said the game would be finished within a year.
The only thing that shocks me is that there are still people believing in this after there is still literally nothing to show and no change in sight for the next years to come.
Two. Look at how many high backers are posting their concern. Go back a year and it be maybe a few voicing their concerns. Be mostly low backers and they be getting spammed down voted. Now it's the opposite. That's a really bad sign for SBS. A few people annoyed, whatever. That many high backers. You know there are many more that don't post, feeling the same.
The third you can't see in the thread. But even on their discord, it's a losing war for SBS. So many people are showing their frustrated at the whole thing.
My own personally view. Just wow.. it takes a special type of person to delay an already delayed event. I knew it was coming, but the last minute post.. yeah...
On a positive note. Vye did go into discord and took all the criticism on the chin. She didn't rage at anyone and even left on a good note. This is what SBS needs. A good PR person. If this was Caspian, he would have bloody lost it.
@JeromyWalsh Is the Storm here yet?

I believe they were trying to complete DSS before the Kickstartversary in order to better drive sales to backers giddy with its success.
Whoops, maybe next year.

“It’s funny how a peasant like you is complaining that we counts and dukes should not “slow down” DSS by picking with limited information...”
This sense of superiority is driven through every part of the game. Its why, like I said above, everything revolves around the sales. This event was supposed to drive people to spend more so that they got to pick their jpeg land spots earlier before someone else took them. Then it was supposed to enable people like the “peasant” to purchase jpeg land and titles at a discount through the reverse auction of unsold jpeg land slots.
The desire to keep up with the Crowd and not fall down the totem pole is invasive in the community. Rational people would have seen this for what it is a long time ago. It seems that some on the forums are starting down that road due to the repeated delays. If they dig just a little deeper they will ask the “Why’s” and discover why SBS never seems to learn and keeps pushing unreasonable dates. Not sure how many people want to take the red pill though. So much simpler to take the blue one and go back to unquestioning safety, because once they dig deep enough they will find how badly they were manipulated.

This is the bit I meant.
Ignore the part where he is a dick, because... Well he is being a dick
Some seriously pissed "nobles" over there, particularly at the ducal level.
Almost any post calling for calm, or to stay the course by a white knight is being quickly downvoted across the board.
I think I can smell the tar boiling.

I don't see their revenue increasing by much for a few weeks.
The theme of the threads...
Finish something and be testing it before you announce the date for it...
getherdone!
Now if content delivered is just bad,that would be a good reason to be upset.
Pretty simple question..
1 Would you rather have HQ content that is late OR
2 Low quality content that is on time?
I know where i stand,if i see crappy content,i am out there,i don't care if it's 3 years early.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
If I have the right guy he also worked on Star Citizen? So that's a relief.
Even mods on discord were saying "You shouldn't trust SBS". To some people that took days off work to do their selection.
I honestly can't see what is so hard about just being realistic with everyone. But then, these are the people that hyped it up, that they could have released it in December but wanting to wait until after the holidays. People are just getting fed up by their flat out lies.
Delays happen, that's fair enough. No one is expecting anything to go perfectly. But Caspian went from "I'm not going to give out dates again". To saying 5 different dates for DSS. He clearly will never learn. Not like this is the first time something got massively blown out either.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Done - whole system ready.
But of course they can write 10 pages essay describing it. SBS is good at storytelling.
I'll take option number three please, high quality which is delivered somewhat near the promise date.
It is not as impossible as some make it out to be, especially as in the case where 2 year projects stretch out to 6 plus years with no end in sight.
You just can't miss that badly unless of course you were either 1) totally lying out your arse, or.....2) totally clueless on how to build what was promised.
As Peter Quill might say, I suspect it is "a little bit of both."

All design features should have a solid purpose, benefitting both the player and the game world overall.
I've yet to see a convincing argument in support of it, only game I know of which did similar was Age of Wushu / Wulin and it seemed like a crap idea there as well.
