First, it's not ending...
Lengthy software projects involving multiple teams inevitably get to a point that it feels like the world is ending. It's right about when you think everything should have been done and all kinds of difficult problems are poking out of the woodwork. Deadlines get pushed, everyone works long hours, and it gets hard to see how things will work out.
So, in this case, I'm not sure if this applies to CCP, us, or both.
Having been through many such projects I've learned that once you work through the first phase of problem driven despair there can often be a second wave -- as a rash of lesser problems are uncovered.
However, with a bit of perseverance on CCP's part, and patience on our part, it's shortly after moral tanks, the weak give up and many think the world is ending that things start to come back together.
So, get a grip. |

No, you are choosing to interpret it that way. I'm describing a real world phenomenon I've seen in many projects and you are looking for an excuse to pretend to be insulted so you can troll the thread. |

Though it could be talking about the developers themselves or the playerbase, it's not clear who. Just that someone is being called weak for their flagging hopes.
It's called writing. I needed three items in order to have a list... and it's a common phrase that most people can identify with. Perhaps the herpy derpy nerds have trouble with being overly pedantic?

SENATOR KODOS wrote:Ya man totally looking for an excuse to pretend your condescending words of wisdom are prophetic words of perseverance. Thanks for the real world expert advice. I have some expert life advice for you as well. When you are soo out of touch with reality that you think modern gamers are going to be patient with a company that can't even fix ( insert myriad of issues ) after a year, no one is going to respect your veiled insult thread masked as life coaching.
I can only say that it was not I that shat in your corn flakes this morning. |
