What is the point of countdowns.

I know that the devs were hard to get the updates out on time but I feel like adding countdowns for big updates is a waste of hype. I mean think about it, every countdown they have done, does the update release when the timer hits zero? No. I think this lets a lot of people down when all you guys say every time is one last round of testing which is reasonable but not every single time. I feel like you should just get rid of the countdowns because they are never on time with the timer.

dude

the countdowns are approx

plus, it takes a long time to make updates, imagine if you had to develop this in a week

just be patient,, ong

[grave epoch]

actually the cooldowns are good becausd it brings the community together to wait and play together

Honestly I like the countdowns but almost every countdown had like an hour delay. I feel like they should make the countdown an hour longer than they approximate it to be as a just in case

[verbal lintel]

the countdown goes to the usual update time btw, it isint any different than a normal update. its just showing its gonna be big

[pulsar mortar]

They don't have to update always in a week. They always rush themselves anyways

[dark dawn]

It would also take a lot of stress off the devs I feel because whenever an update doesn’t come out the second the timer hits 0 people riot

i dont think i remember a single countdown in my LIFE that has came out on time

not just this game,

[dark dawn]

Circus actually came out before the countdown hit 0 funny enough

[verbal lintel]

its not the devs fault at all, theres just kids that scream and cry when its not

[verbal lintel]

it did? i swear it came out later

[dark dawn]

It was like 30 minutes before

[verbal lintel]

i think circus had a later release time than normal though did it not?

or am i going crazy

anyways the point is countdowns arent meant to be exact, its just a average

[hazy wren]

Nah you right

[dark dawn]

I think they should add a half hour or an hour to countdowns because that’s usually how long it takes for the finishing touches

And if they finish before then just release it early

[verbal lintel]

tbh they could just post the date insead

not the time, just the date of the update

[dark dawn]

Yeah like caves I think where it had an estimated update time

[verbal lintel]

but then that would prolly cause more riot

[verbal lintel]

yeah

i need to talk more.. i dont want to be a underling green role 😨

[dark dawn]
