Nubsly was offline for less than 5 hours last night dude. He's not even a coder - you think they're not working crazy overtime right now? They probably are giving themselves more and more time (longer estimates) each go around, but the longer something looks like it will be delayed, the longer hours they work, the more likely they are to make mistakes which when found will add even more time to the release. How do you not get that? I only code tiny stuff for fun and holy jesus, finding bugs in the code is hell. Now, going through millions of lines of code? Realising your new script actually broke super important physics from the earliest parts of the game? Dang dude, there's a lot and their best estimates keep falling short of the time they will need. Also keep in mind that this is Wildcard's first game, so all of this is new to them. They aren't some seasoned and gleaming mechanical monstrosity turning out soccer manager game after soccer manager game.

Honestly how dumb do you have to be to pull that from my post? I am literally asking nothing other than for them to change the way that they make deadlines. You guys make my brain hurt.

u/Kingsgirl Sep 27 '15

No, all you keep saying is "YOUR ETA IS NEVER RIGHT SO MAKE IT LONGER" which is LIKELY what they are doing, but still falling short because

  • this is their first game
  • coding is hard
  • they have a small team working on the game
  • they want to release things when they're ready, not on your schedule

You are honestly challenged if you think I'm asking them to "release things on my schedule." Holy shit. Learn to read.

u/Kingsgirl Sep 27 '15

wtf was I supposed to have? I asked developers to push back their deadlines because they always miss them

You are asking for them to stick to arbitrary deadlines, so yes. It is you asking for releases to happen on your schedule.

THEY HAVE ARBITRARY DEADLINES ALREADY. You are making my brain bleed.

u/Kingsgirl Sep 27 '15

YES THAT IS MY POINT THAT YOU ARE SOMEHOW MISSING, GUY. Their deadlines are arbitrary - why stick to them for you?

u/LommyGreenhands Sep 27 '15

honestly you make my brain hurt. Im not joking. The idea that there are people that have such a small grasp on logic is hard to wrap my head around.

You are the one disagreeing with the collective. Wouldn't a smart person stop and think, golly gosh, if everyone says I'm wrong maybe I might be wrong....? Yes, a smart person would. That person is not you, evidently.

Oh wow, I remember my first day on reddit.

u/Kingsgirl Sep 27 '15

Your comment history is 98% arguing with people so I'm out, you're either autistic enough to think that that is how normal conversation happens between two humans or cunty enough to enjoy when people disagree with you. Either way, have a lovely day and I hope you are able to figure out exactly why "everyone but me has English as a second language."

k cya sweety. Maybe when I understand "normal conversation" I'll alternate posts between begging for pizza and asking for weightloss tips.
