Well, that's kind of what happens when you make big promises of long, essay-like responses to important questions, stress that the reason you're taking two whole weeks to do it is to ensure good responses, then totally and completely miss the date you promised the community, thus demonstrating, once again, that there's very little reason to put any faith whatsoever into what they tell you...

saddly yes that's what's happening a little team taking on too much. they well and truely have made their own bed and they're lying in it. that's why i'd hate to have anything to do with pgi these days.

It's not really an issue of taking on too much. The real problem is the devs never sit down and give us real talk, but rather try to dazzle us with PR smoke and mirrors. They use the mods to silence negative feedback, and post like everything is fine. They'll gladly take your money like it's a finished product, but anything broken is "it's a beta we're working on it."

I wonder how fast they'd fix a bug that gave you free MC. A lot faster than any of the game-breaking bugs, I imagine.

expect answers on Friday.

why would they answer questions before a patch is deployed that may or may not change some of the answers?

Because they explicitly told us that they would? I know, I know, that's a silly reason, but still...

I don't understand the complaints about PGI missing a deadline.. the last post says:

So here's how we will schedule the Ask a Dev in the future:
Monday#1: Ask a Dev is open, post your questions!
Monday#2: We will lock the thread and gather questions!
Friday: Ask a Dev - Answer is out!
Monday#3: Repeat!

It's not Friday yet.. it's only Monday #2 (on this time table). How did they miss a deadline that hasn't happened yet?

They don't know what's going into the patch a day or 2 before it's gonna hit? Who's to say any of the questions related to anything in the patch?

Way to not do the whole quote kiddo

Thanks for your questions everyone! Answers will be posted next Monday before the end of the day!

This was posted on 1/15/13 The next monday he said would be 1/21/13. Today. Thus the missed deadline.

[Wizard Steve]

I wonder if they've delayed the answers because they've got a change to ECM in tomorrow's patch and don't want to pre-announce it in case there's a problem last minute.

Yeah selective reading seems to be overpowered around here

[Mackman]

Let's keep this thread going, guys... maybe just one person over at PGI will see it and decide we're worth two minutes of his time to let us know why they missed their own deadline yesterday...

I guess Garth was too busy answering Reddit's questions instead of ours. So much for loyalty to the founders, eh? I know what company is never getting money from me ever again.

I'm more irritated by the fact that he was on the forums yesterday, posting and goofing around in the "Patch Delayed" thread, which for some reason gave me hope that here, at least, was one deadline that they wouldn't miss.

Silly me.

Yes, because putting an image of ONE post he made 5 days ago is a great example of THIS situation. Also, maybe he prefers posting there because not all of them are entitled little children nit picking about stupid bullsh!t like this.

Cheers mate!

it is a pretty good one... the last post on this subject was in the command section in early December - it says that PPC's will be getting a heat buff and that it will happen by mid January, and that in any case we will be updated in the meantime

it is now late January and we've heard not a dickie bird in the command section... but someone pops on reddit and says "how about an update on heat buff for PPC" and bang, instant update

that's not really how it should be
