people are so melodramatic. i wonder if any of the wingers saying they're going to unsub actually have.

I think it's the other way around. It takes some major guts to pull such a feature from the patch because you don't like it as it is. I'd rather have them doing this then playing some half baked broken stuff waiting for a fix.

There is no cancellation, it's simply delayed to fix bugs...

Ey, get mah pitchwork and torch! We gun' march on BW because dey be makin' us wait few days mor for our ****! Le's get dem!!


Seriously, if they announce something last minute, you can bet your *** there is a reaal good reason why they do that. EA is one of the biggest game producers in the world. They have a team of people whose only job is to study how the market reacts to stuff. How to break news, etc.

You think they did this for money? Are you stupid? How is upsetting people going to profit them? They don't profit from earning money in a short term. They only profit from long term income.

So please... Just drop this ********. They delayed it, because it was NEEDED.


Now go QQ in a corner or unsub if you are that childish. Stop raging on the forums because nobody with a brain will sympathize. And if you resubbed just for the ranked wz. Then tough luck brah. Shoulda waited for the final patchnotes. Everyone knows that..

Yes, it takes guts to remove major parts of an update a few hours before that update goes live. Because with all the untested changes there'll be tons of problems and issues to be expected. In that case the only smart solution would be to delay the whole 1.2 update.

Of course they might have known that they can't deliver ranked WZs for a longer time thus tested the 1.2 update without those changes properly. But in that case they clearly marketed features they didn't plan to deliver which would be kind of a "scam".

So what option would you prefer? Untested software being pushed out or marketing lies to trick pvpers into subs?

Obviously because it was a tough decision that they needed to consider before actually pulling it from going live...it's not like they were trying to trick people into resubbing with candy dangling in their face then yanking it away just for their amusement.

So I'm not a hardcore PvPer and my main excitement for 1.2 wasn't the Ranked WZs. However since the moment I read the blog entry about the cancellation, I've beginning to wonder why was it announced at the last second, after Ranked WZs being advertised so heavily for 1.2 launch.
