davidrbarnette Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 16 minutes ago, Archduke said: The urge for instant gratification sure is a frightful thing. I just came back from a very, very good restaurant. What can I say, I had to wait for the various dishes because good things take time. But at no point I felt compelled to storm into the kitchen and demand the half prepared dish from the chef. Which is what some people obviously want. While I certainly understand the intent, your example isn't very good... A more accurate representation would be paying for the dinner up front a month before the meal, confirmed with a video from the restaurant on YouTube concluding with "2021" in giant white letters with loud music playing. As the reservation date neared, they sent you a communication saying "sorry, we're behind, but we hope to get you in prior to the Christmas holidays / end of the year." As that approached, they sent you another communication stating that they'd now hope to get you in by the end of January. As that date approached, they sent you a slightly more vague communication saying they're still behind, but that they hope to get you in by the end of February, but definitely (hopefully?) by the end of Q1. At the end of February, same process, only the end of Q1 (hopefully?). You're right, it definitely doesn't call for storming the kitchen... but you'd likely be a bit annoyed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather never have known that this was being made and then to just be happily surprised one day to see that it is for sale than to be dragged along, teased and disappointed like this. You may request for a refund, the pre-order is to support us, and to give you a discount on the purchase, if that is not worth the wait, then the best bet is to refund and pay for it in full when it releases. But that is enough on the subject. Thanks. 7 2 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchxx Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I'll be happy when it's released, even if it takes longer. After I bought in to Star Citizen's early access over 7 years ago and it's still nowhere near finished a few months waiting for an Apache is like a New York second....;) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called a PRE-order. PRE! as in PRE-release. If you got instant access to it, it wouldn't be a PRE-order, but just, an order. FFS some of you really are "special".

Of course I might be annoyed. And I’d say so. But ED have explained the reasons and I’m sure they’re working very hard to get the early access out of the door as soon as possible. So there is a very big difference between voicing some polite discontent at the delay and clamouring for instant release. I can see the flamewars from over here if ED dared to release module into EA that isn’t ready for this. Anyway I’m outta here. I think it’s a better use of my time to practice my hovering skills in the Huey instead of arguing about this.

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I'm honestly betting on another delay.

You actually can do that with every module wich is out there for 14 days which I never see in any other Sim or game. This is absolutely phenomenal. Think it like this. This Apache is the most realistic and accurate module we ever had in a Simulation and maybe ever will have. We can be grateful to even get EA when ever it will coming out. Many other devs don’t do that. There are many other sims and aircrafts I would be happy to fly but guess what I have to wait. NO EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doedkoett Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 15 hours ago, El buscador de la verdad said: I paid my money immediately. Neither did I give Eagle Dynamics a notice of my intent to release payment at some indefinite date in exchange for access to the module instead of providing the funds in the beginning, nor would they accept such an offer. I guess the concept of pre-order is not for you. I think you should have waited until it is released as complete, in maybe two years. Then you will know what you pay for and receive it immediately. Pre-order is for gamblers who are willing to take a bet on release dates, feature completion, bugs, prestanda issues and what not. So if you want to "give Eagle Dynamics a notice of my intent to release payment at some indefinite date in exchange for access to the module" you simply say "Hey, ED, I´ll buy it when it is released in full." A week here, a week there. Man, if exact releasedate is important to you guys - relax and wait. I am pretty sure that ED will give an exact release date some time in 2024 or 2025. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Don't post much on forums but I purchased the AH64D and after watching MW's videos, it looks very functional and guessing 90% complete. What I beleive annoys a lot of simmers with ED is that they keep pumping out new content and not completing what the started within a reasonable timeframe. Should the cycle of a product from pre-purchase to complete take 3-4 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fagulha Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, BIGNEWY said: Thank you for the support, dont worry in most cases it is only passion for DCS. Agreed. We all came from different cultures and beliefs, different countries, different ideas, but we all share the same passion and no one can take it from DCS. Along this years i met awesome people, some became friends, i learned a lot with everyone and helped a lot of people with my experience and everyday i come across people who need help in DCS and i also get help when needed, everyone is willing to help and i think that´s remarkable. I may sometimes get upset like everybody does for some bugs/lack of updates in my beloved Hornet but i always know that sooner or later ED will surprise us again. I´m not a Heli guy (Hornet lover here) but i´m glad that heli guys get their modules released and keep on fulfiling their dreams like the Hornet did/does to me. Keep up @BIGNEWYand team.

silverdevil Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 i have been a patron of DCS since 2011. i have gone through countless computers, video cards, hard drives, controllers, modules, campaigns. i have spent over $750 in the DCS store alone. all to satisfy the habit of DCS. the early release and WIP has been and will be a thing, at least for now. DCS keeps getting better despite the hiccups here and there. you notice i say hiccups. because all these are corrected eventually. my grandfather would have been amazed at video games. he always said to me about other technology. "its amazing it works at all." i play other games for a little while after release but i always come back to my best girl, DCS, even if she is a little crazy sometimes. 6 AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
