Why do a release right before holidays?!? Surely many players (and devs/ops) have holiday plans, so releasing right after Christmas makes way more sense.
Missing out on most of the first couple weeks of Brel due to holiday travel/vacation is a huge disappointment.
You can just do it after the holidays then. Just because it’s out doesn’t mean you have to do it. By all means you can basically treat it as releasing on the 28th and it’ll be functionally the same for you and your static if you guys have holiday plans.
It’s just fomo to think that you have to do it the week it comes out. If you can cool but what realistically changes for you if it came out on the 28th or if you waited for the 28th? The fight is out already in korea and mapped out so there isn’t any “fresh start” experiences unless you force it, and if you did then you can do the same no matter when it comes out.
What I’m saying is if they released it on the 28th what difference would it be to you personally if you just waited for the 28th to do it.
You are still progressing at the exact same pace as you would have otherwise.
The only thing that changes is the perception that you “lose out” on the 2 weeks of progression if it came out on the 14th and you waited for the 28th. But if you compare it to if it came out on the 28th to you waiting to the 28th nothing changes for you on a personal level.
That’s why I’m saying it’s Fomo. You are concerned about “missing out” when it comes out on the 14th cause of holiday obligations that are important. But you waitin for the 28th is the exact same thing as it coming out on the 28th.
The difference is half my static won’t be able to experience the raid for the first time together. We’ve been playing as a group since near the beginning and have done every major raid for the first time together… until now.
If it’s important to your static to have that first time experience together then they would be willing to wait for half the party. If not then I’m sure some scheduling can be arranged to make it work. And if not then it’s incredibly selfish to say “I can’t run it with you guys so I really hope they delay it so no one can run it”
I get that it sucks when life gets in the way regarding holidays but it makes sense for them also to release it the week before holiday weekend to not have it be in the back of their mind during the holidays
Imagine SG hired a dev to give community feedback that was pin point accurate? Yea… They don’t though, so let Roxx do the job as best they can and deal with inconsistencies with the company itself.
