Graal Era Country Side

[Lazerlatte]

When they say "by the end of summer," they don't mean he end of summer vacation. They mean the actual season Summer.

Pretty sure the actual season is pretty darn close to ending. I mean, 12 months divided by 4 seasons is approximately 3 months each, right?

You're completely right.

Summer ends around the beginning of September.
December, January, February - Winter
March, April, May - Spring
June, July, August - Summer
September, October, November - Fall

September, October, November - Fall

Yeah that's true. I'm sure it won't be released on time, knowing iEra...

"Coming summer 2014" Translation: We guess it should be out by now like gang wars, but it probably wont come out either.

I guess this thread will stand in the forums as a reminder to all, and as a wake up call to administrators. It was stated that Countryside was nearly finished and that it only needed some polishing up to do; it was also stated that the scripting was the only thing holding back the release. If staff is lacking on scripters, then simply hire scripters. There's lots of players in the community with scripting knowledge and they are always waiting for applications, but applications rarely go up, and instead of hiring scripters they're adding SFX staff.

Thankfully Coop stated that it would be released this summer, and players are now complaining due to lack of staff and management. I'm not calling any staff out in particular, all I'm trying to say is that staff should put their head in the game. Staff applied to work, they were hired to manage, they chose to fill out applications, yet we don't have results. Not to mention players backing up such unacceptable procrastination.

"See guys, this is why we shouldn't have release dates, because people are always whining."
"Guys give staff a break it's a big project."
"This is why staff shouldn't release upcoming projects because player whine."

-I totally disagree.
I liked where Coop was headed giving release dates. It made him prioritize and it gave him interest in making countryside. If staff were to never give out release dates then they can procrastinate and just never release projects because there's no deadline. iEra without updates, in my opinion, is boring.

Summer for some is over. Summer is almost over for others. Where's the reliability of staff? Where's the "one quality that makes you different from the others?" Where's the commitment?

I'm not staff, but I'm very disapointed.
Everyone was looking froward to this.

Well said, and I couldn't agree more. If you're going to be hired, you have agreed to your responsibility. As you said, there are many people who have knowledge in scripting, and other things.

On a side not, it bothers me that people are hired constantly for different staff postions, and yet, nothing was posted in the hiring opportunities section of this forum. A couple staff positions, like sound effects, have never posted an application,.
