This is an actual meme “Later this year,” when there’s only 3 months left. Bets on the intended December release getting pushed to a New Years surprise.
You guys gotta be kidding me. Are you for real? First you make us wait nearly over half a year, now you make us wait UNTIL AFTER SOME DUMB CONVENTION. You cant be serious Kakao. Holy hell this is annoying. Edit: Everyone should just spam their tickets and ask them to release this faster, and also write an email to PA directly to stop treating NA/EU like 2nd rate regions. Maybe try not to release the damn game in 150 countries how about that.
Still wonderful that you only get to experience these new areas if you roll good RNG, or just swipe a card and brute force your AP up.
What an INSULTING joke! Still no concrete info on when we get it..... also it isn't "NEW". Cool.... you're going to have a playable demo... what a waste of time and effort. You know we can just go on the internet and see all this for some time now? What a joke Just a terrible job you all are doing in NA/EU.... really ridiculous
IS THIS A JOKE?!? What the.... How about you guys make it playable for all of us yesterday? This is old content. Stop holding stuff back. I don't care who is responsible for the delay, hire enough translators to localize on time or pressure PA to do their fking job because having to wait over half a year on content is UNACCEPTABLE!
Just one more reason you guys don't deserve my money..... and won't be getting anymore money from me. Even if we get Dreighan next week this company will not get another cent from me. Global build my a**
Wow you can play it at EGX or for free with a vpn on almost every other region in bdo You guys are a joke.
Sad.... but accurate. When we get "new" content its already old. If these companies weren't such garbage they could be making so much money. Invest a few dollars to actually understand this region..... cause yall are so tone deaf it hurts. I would happily spend $50 a month if they could get their BS together... but they sadly won't... now they get $0 from me.
This is a stupid idea, given that the region is already out in other servers, AND on the Global Lab. Come on. Are you guys really that stupid? Don't give a trial to a region that we already have access to. There will be more backlash. Editing this in: Actually push for us to have the Global Build that PA keeps promising us. Show that you give a **** for once in your pathetic existence. Never have I seen new areas delayed for a bloody year consistently.
