I don’t think the devs were trying to delay the game this last time around – it was full steam ahead, F the bugs. . . Some of us were saying please delay, some were not – but the devs had their minds made up and released knowing all of the issues the game still had.
Devs aren’t in charge of release dates. That’s up to higher ups, 80% of times these are people unrelated to the game development itself that decide if they want to hold or not.
Best a dev can do is inform “This won’t be ready for X” and the people up there will decide if give an extension or go wifh what’s available.

AGS communication is the worst.

Could be that it’s two separate demographics, hoss.
Congratulations! 
I mean – you get my meaning - he said devs so I said devs, but the point is the OP was saying that people in control of the game wanted to delay it just prior to launch, which is simply not true.
Agree and disagree.
Outside the game, yep…total cesspool. This makes the days of 76 look like a regular love in.
Inside the game…at least on our server…pretty chill, friendly folk.
Why? They took our money while knowing the game isn’t even close to being ready. They should be praised for this? Come on man you are better than this 
Congratulations!
We haven’t actually got a clue what they are doing, because despite promising clearer communication, we have total radio silence despite horrible issues. It feels like if the NA servers had the same issues thing would be much different, but we are treated like second class citizens.
No communication, no confidence.
Considering the amount of issues, exploits, rollbacks and lack of communication on important things like our poor EU lads at the moment. The community has every right to be upset and honestly the community has been pretty tame regarding it as well.
Again i will remind lads, take a step away from the game both for your mental health and to show that this isn’t ok.
Man, you really believe it when some guy tells you “we are working hard on it, but it will take time”???
This is corporate PR speech that translates to: "Our guys are off over the long weekend, but we will try to make it work as early as possible next week. "
And seeing you are part of this community, you might be right with some parts of the headline.
This game brought about a special subset of horrible human being. Global chat is a dumpster fire of hatred, far worse than any other MMO I’ve ever played (yes, that includes Vanilla Barrens chat), and the forums are currently filled with people screeching with rage over the fact that a bunch of employees aren’t skipping out on seeing their families for the holiday so that they can fix their video game’s pretend money exchange. You hate to see it.
This may shock you, but they are not the same people…
It was released in a pretty good state.
Its just the all the changes made after release that weren’t tested long enough,

A pretty good state? Plz mate.
Holy shit I didn’t actually realise how nice it is to see a legit, polite and concise message to the devs 
Can more people talk like this to the devs? You know, as if they were humans deserving basic human niceties as well? Thatd be chill

It’d definitely be appreciated if they’d thoroughly test changes, continue using the PTR more often and perhaps reduce patch and update frequency accordingly.
I mean, e.g. FFXIV’s 3 month content cycle really works well. Jagex in the past struggled with frequent, small patches riddled with issues as well. Once they started taking more time, things started improving.
What AGS needs to be able to do with that though, is start ignoring all the bitching and moaning on these forums for one. The constant crying over no update being given for a situation, even when it’s only a few hours old. No ETA being given for relatively new issues. It’s as if AGS right now is trying to push out quick fixes as soon as possible to try and satisfy the loudest and most obnoxious members of this community.
if you think devs caved to forum demands, you are delusional.
ONLY AGS management are to blame IF there was some kind of rushed deployment.

Imagine having work ethics that allows you to leave your product in absolute dumpsterfire, with near to zero communication, roadmap or damage control for your community and have audacity to go eat frozen turkey for week(s?).
