    Frankie did give himself a timeline. He posted on Sept. 13th:

    "The patch with the reversion should be in our version in 3-4 weeks, along with some other cool new content."

    It has been 4 weeks since he posted that. He said 3-4. I guess someone just has a poor sense of time?

    that was approximately 5 weeks ago (give or take a few days). Any number of things could have happened between then and now. From the looks of what Frankie is telling us NOW. It looks like Management decided to release several changes all at one time, instead of doing several smaller updates in succession, and they decided it would be prudent to include the Secret Passage Reversion within that larger update. I personally think that is a smart move on the part of management. You cannot fault Frankie for what was probably a change of opinion on the part of management between then and now. You might be able to fault him for not informing us between then and now about the change of opinion, but he may have been told not to tell us until now. In which case he still cannot be faulted as it was not his decision not to inform us. There are numerous possible reasons why this change of schedule could have occurred. Just because you lot of people think it is your god given right to have the update NOW, does not mean that is the case.

    Obviously you never saw C&C 4 beta. Biggest dev fail ever. Bugs, balance, arifacts, you name it, there was a problem with it. Wasn't even an RTS like other C&C's, was an RTT, yet they insisted on calling it an RTS.

    This is true... but should PWI strive to top their failure?

    Regardless, if they plan to give themselves dates, they really should inform their player base of delays. You can defend Frankie all you want, but he is the community manager.. he is who we turn to for information. It is his fault if he chooses to give us poor information.

    That I have no argument with. We should have been informed that there was a delay considering that they apparently changed the date from what we had initially been told. Or we should have at least been told that the initial date was null and void. But that doesn't appear to be what had happened. I will however defend Frankie in the sense that he has very little control over what the Dev's or the companies management actually decide to do. And likely has even less control over what they tell him, and what he is allowed to tell us.

    Maybe not 'quit' per se but certainly take a nice long break and go to a competitor game.

    For heated topics when huge number of players complain ... **** poor communication skills are NOT an excuse. Frankie would not have even made a comment about SP if there was not so much outrage. FOUR weeks with ZERO comment or status and doesnt even mention it till people start complaining. I sure hope Frankie has computer skills to offer the company cause communication skills SUCK.

    As a community manager, he is there to bridge the gap between players and devs. He's not doing much community work. There is clearly player outrage and as usual, we get little-to-no response.

    SP fix is just the tip of the iceberg. This update actually has a ton of new stuff that a lot of you will enjoy, including pretty cool content for the PWI veterans out there. High level players especially will be very happy with it.

    It's in its final testing phase, and we'll be doing a full-fledged preview very soon, along with a formal announcement of the official release date.

    Quite honestly I don't see why we have to wait untill that update to get the SP fix that WE requested over a month ago. From what I understand, the SP was not as big of an issue in China as it was over here, and they didn't wasted time to implement the fix on the Chinese servers. The fix could have been sent with last week's fixes.

    what fixes? We didn't have maintenance last week either. This is the second week in a row of no maintenance.

    Patch Notes Version 569
    Released October 5, 2011

    Localization Changes
    We have fixed localization issues for the following:

    The description for undyeable Bulbfish mounts should now indicate that they can't be dyed.

    Divine Contract Quest: Profane Warriors - The description should now correctly ask for 5 Cooking Scoops instead of 15.

    The Hyper EXP Stone Ticket should now properly say that it yields 5 Hyper EXP Stones instead of 3.

    huh... I apologize. I could have sworn I remember there not having been Maintenance last week. I was mistaken however. That said that was still a minor update, and it is clear from Frankies post that the Powers that be have decided that the SP Fix will be included in a major update.

    My standards have become pretty high where this game is concerned. I seriously doubt the content adds will be anything close to what is now required to keep me here past the new year, judging from the last few fail upgrades anyway.

    The last few times I was in SP before it was PK-enabled, months ago..........there was scarcely a person in there. Not for BH, not for quests, not for bosses. The occassional person, but thats it.
    Why is it so crowded with people trying to quest now?b:question

    Who the hell cares if SP is pk enabled? You don't need to go in there to advance through the game with the exception of Silver Frost, and I would hope by that time you made a friend or two that can come protect you and kill it for you.

    Keep it as is, change it back, I couldn't care less. I enjoy having a pk spot where people actually show up, but if the PvP area goes back to West I won't really care. At least then I can actually get drops b:chuckle

    I just don't want to blow any more $ on a game where they are unable to complete promises to fix bugs-exploits-issues, yet have the time & resources to roll out new content - and continue doing things that bring them profit.

    I have also stopped spending... I think this is a good place for me to sit and wait for them to deliver on old 'yes we will fix' - before I go back to csing. And be nice if they did it before another mmorpg caught my interest...

    Then why do you post on all the threads that have to do with EG R9 and SP? Seems all the threads ive read about EG R9 have a response from you saying how much it EG R9 fails and how it wont change their status when they get R9.

    I personally could careless about the SP situation but i don't sit around typing away posting "I dont care" if you don't care. AND this thread isnt even about EG R9 stuff yet you still mentioned it...wtf? lol

    Hey, there was a "don't care" option so I thought I'd "let my voice be heard".

    As for EG R9, it's obviously because people's responds to me dising EG are entertaining.

    Seekers useless in end game PvE instances and Mystics are just a 2nd-rate hybrid.

    Did I do it right?
