It was originally planned for Q2 of 2021, which is June at the latest. Then delayed to "Late Summer", which is September at the latest if we go with astronomical. Then to October.Yeah City of Gold update was planned for August
Devs for Stoneshard are lamenting for past few days on their Discord how they are being review bombed on Steam. 99% of negative reviews are: game too HaRd, nerrrrf or wherez update?!?!?

I have expected the "City of Gold" update to be released in Q2 of 2021, then in "Late Summer" of 2021. Crazy, right?So what? It's a game in Early Access, what did you expect?
This whole argument is about devs using EA to not respect deadlines, FUCKING READIt was originally planned for Q2 of 2021, which is June at the latest. Then delayed to "Late Summer", which is September at the latest if we go with astronomical. Then to October.

If you don't like it, just play released games and wait at least one year to get a half-fixed playable version...
Yeah, it sure is retarded to call out dishonesty whenever it happens.if you start making a habit out of calling them out that just makes you look retarded, fyi
Me and many other people have learned that Wayfinder is not to be trusted and do not care about their own deadlines, you got that right. Many people have also decided to share this fact and warn other people in the form of negative reviews. I see nothing wrong here. They more than earned those reviews.fool me once, shame on you
Going from June to October in 3 delays total is not an "estimate", it's simply unprofessional. Answer me this - if you're not going to give a single fuck about the deadlines, why even come up with them anyways? To piss people off?disgruntled fags can leave a bad review or point out broken promises in their review, but it's hilarious when they have their buttons pushed repeatedly by devs who have made it clear that deadlines are more of an estimate than anything.
Would you use the same argument for an AAA game being a buggy mess on release? I don't care how many devs are also doing it, wrong things don't become right the more people do them. Breaking promises is wrong and should be complained about whenever it happens. Just don't come up with deadlines if you can't meet them, it's that simple.It's like you're all new to Early Access or something

Key to what, exactly? Why you see release as a given? You're talking about "waste of time" regarding complains on a random forum while if this game will never see the release day the real fucking waste of time would be shill's passages like yours or basically any real talk about game's muh potential, pros and so on which lead to actual playing this unfinished mess.Patience, just as in other cases, is key again.
Not really, me and anyone who paid for the game are within their rights to complain about the creator breaking their own word. Silence is too often confused with approval. The devs should be constantly reminded that they're being unprofessional.But doesn't it seem pointless to you if things dissolve into a game of you complaining and them finding excuses.
Is you complaining about me complaining also retarded, or do you have a double standard ready?Not that I mind you wasting your own time, but it IS retarded.
Apparently not. You know what actually creates pressure? Negative reviews.As for the devs, having a rough estimate and deadline that you set yourself creates pressure
If we are not to trust those dates, why even come up with those dates to begin with? To piss people off? It's working.Yet the devs decided that strictly adhering to deadlines would compromise the quality of the product, and thus delay them multiple times. Not great, no, but if its a common occurrence you learn to simply not trust those dates anymore.
I am not discussing the quality of content.The updates they do release are good, so why bicker about it?
I wasn't aware not keeping promises was a positive thing.That aside, giving negative reviews because "the dev didnt keep their promise" is fucking ridiculous.
Again, if I should have no expectations, why does the developer bothers with making deadlines to begin with?The game is good, albeit needs lots of content still, and any one who supports the game at this point should have no expectation of when a certain part of the game will get released.
For the 3rd time, if not meeting deadlines doesn't entitle the customer to complaining and they are essentialy meaningless, why do they even exist?That is what EA is all about. Early access to a game that is not yet finished (and might never be). Just because they say they will have an update ready by month X of year Y, doesn't entitle you to whine about it when it doesn't happen.
Wrong. I bought an unfinished product at a lower price with a promise of more content. Which, so far, has been a lie.As an EA supporter you're a part of the development process, not a customer consuming a finished product (which is where your analogy to real world business falls flat, by the way).
No, it's not like that, at all. QA testers are performing a service for the developer. One they are or at least should be compensated for in one way or another. I did closed alpha testing myself, I got compensated for it. I don't remember Wayfinder paying me. In fact, I remember the opposite.It's like having a QA tester complain that the feature they were supposed to test on wednesday isn't ready yet, and they have to wait another week for it to be coded before they can test it.
So you touched the hot plate for the fifth time, got your hand burned the fifth time, and when it happens the sixth time it'll still be the plates fault. Gotcha.No, it's not like that, at all. QA testers are performing a service for the developer. One they are or at least should be compensated for in one way or another. I did closed alpha testing myself, I got compensated for it. I don't remember Wayfinder paying me. In fact, I remember the opposite.
Yes, except the hot plate was sold as cold and promised to be cold after each time I got burned. I have since stopped expecting it to be cold, which does not mean the seller isn't a dick.So you touched the hot plate for the fifth time, got your hand burned the fifth time, and its the plates fault.

I have already adressed that. I am well within my right to complain about it. I was lied to, which is universally considered to be a bad thing, which is worthy of critique. Not once, twice or whatever arbitrary number you chose. As much as I feel like.The fact you keep complaining about it means you are in fact retarded though. Or maybe its literally the first Early Access you've ever been a part of, i dont know.

And why do you think the game will actually release? Yes, we're all know cases of games which were released despite severe deadline violations (say, Hero-U) but we're also know cases of games stuck in EA forever (Zomboid) or outright abandoned (GRAV/LifeZ). Not to mention Star Citizen of course. Repeated deadline break is a red flag to me. Like I said, we'll see in october but I'll be more suprized if the game will actually get that "biggest update yet" rather than it will postponed again or if the update will contain much less content that it was expected.and why do you think the game won't release going by deadlines that weren't met but achieved later? So far nothing I've seen indicates that the game won't release in a finishable state (although the scope may not meet the hype)Key to what, exactly? Why are you see release as a given?

I've played EA games where devs can keep up with their own deadlines or simply do not make them. What now?Or maybe its literally the first Early Access you've ever been a part of, i dont know.
Negative reviews and complaining are what Wayfinder gets for repeatedly breaking their word. Also been like this for years. Either deal with it or stop charging money for your product.This is what you get for paying for a work in progress that has no requirements or oversight. Been like this for years. Either deal with it, or stop paying for EA titles.
giga cringe

I get that buying a game in EA comes with a risk, Steam even explicitly saying that but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't point out dubious projects, forfuck'severyone's sake. And defending a lying dev just because one likes the concept of his game is a cuck behaviour of a high order.
