[QUOTE="EugeneZ, post: 5182487, member: 83605"] I know exactly how large EnWorld is, and as Morrus points out, that has its advantages. You're right, Morrus -- Paragon Paths was well done. You didn't know when you'd finish it, and didn't set a deadline. So I take it back, EnWorld missed five deadlines, with Tears being the sixth rather than the seventh. That means you've missed every deadline you've set; in some cases, badly. I'm not annoyed that you are unable to recover from staff issues like WotC. I knew that going in. I'm annoyed because my group is in the middle of adventure #5 and we have no idea when #6 will be released, and you've taken [i]over half a year[/i] to release two adventures... without ever announcing that they will be late. If you had announced it, our group would have found a way to slow down the pacing. I just kept thinking that since you guys didn't change your estimates of a month/month-and-a-half that you were confident you'd at least approach them. If you'd said "Hey guys, lots of stuff is happening with our staff right now, we know the adventure is due out tomorrow, but it's gonna take a few months to sort this stuff out. I don't know how long so I can't give you a deadline, but it sure as heck is not coming out this month." Then we'd stagger our sessions and figure things out. But it always felt like the adventure was coming next week because the release dates never changed and you kept saying "next week" after being heckled for updates a month after the release date slipped, and that same "next week" turned into another month -- three months total. Now it's the same thing for [i]Tears[/i]... complete radio silence regarding the now two-month-slipped date. I'm just asking you to keep us informed, nothing else. [/QUOTE]
