There Is milloin threads about this.... Why start new one

Why post on an established thread when one can just creat one?

seriously though, fed up with repeated posting of the same topics. It means people with decent threads are getting bypassed cos people cant filter through all the rubbish.

In general in all of life. If you don't plan for delays or things you don't expect then you don't plan well.

So How far do my responsibilities for planning go, because I wasn't aware that I should innately know not to take the developers at their word? Should I have anticipated that the HayDay update would be rolled out first and that it's update would go poorly? When the FB page inferred that the end of the 1 gem boosting would be in 24 hours should I have checked on the weather in Helsinki and the relationship status updates of the developers to make sure everything was looking good? Seriously, blaming the players for things completely out of the control of players is a little like "victim blaming" (a little).

Building anticipation is great, good for the game and invigorating. Disappointing the most avid players with poor communication and then throwing out cheap collector boosts to placate the masses is bad planning; but not on the part of the players.
This feels less like building buzz and more like bad game management.
The only reasons I can come up with for NOT informing us directly is either they have no idea of when it will be ready and they are too proud to admit it or they have no idea and they just don't care how the lack of communication is perceived.
While that is obviously hyperbole, SC does seem to have some issues with communication. Rather than a flying dog replay I would have appreciated some simple honesty. But of course this is just one man's opinion.

This is one thing that baffles me about this game. Why all the secrecy over the update, like when it will happen, everything that will happen and how long it will take and so on.

I have been playing mmo and such for a long time, as in 'used-to-fly-air-warrior-pre-aol-release-via-bat-script-to-telnet into-server' long time ago and i can never remember a game or company that did not tell you the when where and what of an update... normally they market it for months...

Not here though... so what gives? i see no advantage or value in not telling us the when of the update, the what maybe they do not want to fall short of what has been told (usally you get the stealth nerf changes.) but man...

Since it's already nearly october, will this update be halloween themed? I miss my pumpkin bomb.

Exactly. I wouldn't really care so much if SC would just actually communicate WHY they are having to wait to release the update. It would be a simple one or two line post from Steve, but this seems too difficult. Sad really.

Better communication will really relieve us, its hard to check the forums and fb page every hour , as to when its going to happen.
