3.0 information today?? PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I would caution not to read too deep into what I said above. It is somewhere in the cog of those moving parts that this delay happened, but ultimately our goal remains the same: to get you as many details about this expansion as soon as we can!

Your efforts to ridicule any and all criticism get more conspicuous with each post you make.

to add something really nice for subscribers.

just want to make sure all of the information is correct

Still unacceptable. Very disappointed in Eric Musco and Bruce Maclean.

Constructive, rational criticism will always get plenty of respect from me.

Raging about a 'delay' in an announcement is in no way constructive or rational and I will gleefully give it all the respect it deserves.

Crafters complaining about a lack of relevance before the GSH patch? Rational and appropriate.

PVPers complaining about a lack of quality rewards for Ranked play before the Rancor mount? Very appropriate and reasonable complaining.

This? This stuff is ridiculous and a prime example of why BW doesn't release info that might change. Because people will lose their minds over a delay of an announcement. Just imagine how insane they'd get over relevant information being changed after being released.

nice loop hole you made for yourself there, when those of us who have experience with you know that you view any and all criticism as irrational.

This is what I love about these forums. An announcement gets delayed and all of sudden, you have two dozen people running in circles, gnashing their teeth and rending their sackcloth and proclaiming that the next expansion is DOOMED.

It is not doomed: however this is a major setback to its prospects. They are not able to tell us what the new level cap is. They are not able to tell us how many new operations there will be. They are not able to tell us how many new warzones there will be. They are not able to tell us how many planets are in the single player section of the expansion.

The expansion is supposed to be released this year. There are 3 months and 1 day left of this year as I write this post. Of that time period one sixth or so is already removed by their announcement postponement. In addition Christmas takes another week away, meaning that is 3 weeks not available: pretty much one quarter of the time remaining in the year is therefore gone which leaves 9 weeks or so. During that 9 weeks there would have to be any public playtesting, a pre-order period and all the marketing hype. Since the PTS is typically shut down a week or so before any release of a normal patch that reduces the period available for public testing to 8 weeks at maximum.

So tell me how likely it is that a major expansion is going to get sorted out in that time and generate sufficient interest and hype to be a commercial success?
