just add 1-2 more weeks on every date they post

thats more accurate than "likely friday or monday"

People wonder why devs don't like giving out dates.

So basically he shouldn't have said anything in the first place. I don't see why the even tweet beta "SHOULD" be on so and so day. You just get peoples hopes up and they get butthurt when you don't hold to your word. Just release the damn beta and stop giving us false dates / hope.

Soooo unpredictable...

I blame Midgard for going against the Law of Infamy of the Universe (aka Murphy's Law, aka whatever)...

I respect SOE very much,but i really dont agree with what they are doing on the matter of false promises.
And no it's not because i want a rushed in beta that may lead to a rushed in game(which i dont).
If they have said "beta wont be out until september" i can be ok with that aslong as it's true.
But teasing people that beta is coming withing 2 weeks or even a few days away and than drag it for months(it was supposed to be released in july if you believe their earlier statements)just so you can keep people hyped and constantly exited is not cool.
It's something i would expect from EA/DICE,but it wasnt something i expected from SOE :/

He's done that because people have been SCREAMING for dates. So he said, fine, I'll give you some ballpark dates, but you have to understand that it is all fluid and subject to change. So that's why I am Jack's complete lack of surprise when a date gets pushed back.

By the sound of the tweet, it seems too me like they're implementing something. If that's the case, it betternbe fucking good. Perhaps they'll coincide it with the new command centre episode, I bet they don't manage to push that date back.

I agree. This calls for some a good ol' mob lynching. Time to light the pitchfork and sharpen the torch.

I didn't see any promises. There WAS a ballpark date with heavy disclaimers.

You expect people to pay attention to disclaimers? No. They just want to pay attention to the parts they want, and then complain about the parts they ignored.

So they have to test more stuff and fix bugs, before the beta TESTERS get in!? So, will that mean, the rest that will be invited would be beta "players" instead?

Just saying...
