I get that as a company you don't want to put yourself in an unrealistic position, but communication is important and I hope someone over there realizes that. Sadly, I don't think my request will get any response.
#2 WotC_Trevor Mar 21, 2011 11:56:02	Hey Bohrdumb. I've been in the forums the past few weeks giving information out when I have it. At this point, I still don't have a date for you, and I'm not going to make a prediction. As soon as I have some solid information I'll be back in to let you know.
#3 Bohrdumb Mar 21, 2011 12:08:10	Great, now if I could get someone to bake me a humble pie, I would have something to eat for lunch. I appreciate the response Trevor.

#6 LordEntrails Mar 21, 2011 16:01:03	Sorry Trevor, how can you not have a release schedule?  You guys are supposed to be a professional software development group for a company, not some open source project.  I'm disillusioned...

They are a professional software development group. They are just a professional software development group that misses a lot of deadlines so they don’t like to talk about them too much.

True, Nick.  And these guys do deserve more slack than this board usually cuts them.  But (and this is a big but), DDi deadlines are slipping now, more than ever before.  To the point where a daily (even weekly) deadline is almost meaningless.  Monthly deadlines even fall by the wayside with too much regularity.   So sure. I give them some slack compared to the general tone of this board, but come on.  They really need to get in the habit of completing projects (internally) before announcing the deadline publically.  I cancelled my sub last month, and I really want to resubscribe... just looking for an excuse.  A series of accomplishments (i.e. hitting deadlines, return functionality to CB, etc.) would go a long way toward giving me that excuse.  (In know much of this is already being addressed internally). @Trevor, I really appreciate your stopping in here to keep us all informed, even when you bring "bad" news.  It prevents nagging questions from turning into raving lunacy.  In my mind.  Thanks.
#10 lokiare Mar 24, 2011 13:43:41	Is there a way we can get a "It won't be out til after" date? You know the minimum amount of time it will be out? Mainly we want to know if we gotta wait more than a month or whatever...
