Postpone Green launch?

[Izmael]

Considering the amount of stuff that is being reported left and right, maybe it would be a wise idea to let Green Beta run for a month or even two (with weekly wipes or something), to fix all the little things that are popping?


As it is, Green is going to launch with a lot of stuff that only recently has been patched in and hardly tested at all. Green is going to be the first fully classic EQ launch in how many years? 10+ for sure. Maybe such an event deserves a little more beta testing to make sure it is perfect?

Also this would maybe allow the reverse engineering wizards of P99 to finish adding stuff to the client such as blindness, etc. Not to mention give some time to the Dolalin-Daldaen duo to find 50 more classic nerfs that should be implemented.

Serious idea, not a troll!

If you click the donate button then the devs can buy more energy drinks so they can work faster. Have faith.

A lot of the stuff being reported is really small stuff so far (guild notes for example) and should easily be fixed in time.

Of course it would be a good idea, and I'd imagine R&N wish they magically had another quarter to get things done. But they promised the world, and everyone is relying on that promise now.

Honestly, I think it'd be better for them to keep that promise and release on time, and then just fix a few bugs later (that's classically what Verant did, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

The sad part to me are the larger issues, which likely won't get fixed at all on Green (1.0). For instance:

• Infected Paw instead of Splitpaw at launch
• Paineel not existing initially (key NPCs are in Toxx instead; NOTE: Nilbog said this one might happen, if they have time)
• Necros/Shaman (both PCs and NPCs) having charm

I'm afraid we may well have to wait for Green 2.0 to actually see "true" classic EQ ... but even so I don't think perfect should be the enemy of good, and I don't think 1.0 should be delayed.

No one on this thread has the information or insight required to make this decision. We don't know how difficult these bugs are to resolve or know how much developer time they have to work on them.

Or if red99 gets the greentreatment a bit after this launch, they will be in for that.

Paineel isn't in, at least, the Necro I made on beta spawned in Erudin and I walked out to the Necromancer hut in Toxx and it was filled with a Necro guild.

So far beta really good I hope they do what's right with release date whatever that is. People are planning days off now so best not to screw with that.

I had a great night questing. Different level strats with that 10x modifier.
