So When Does Soulworker Come Out Again?

Quote from Erwin

Quote from Senichiro

I guess Soul Worker will come out if its ready to open the servers.

If the game takes more time this usually means nothing bad, because then there are fewer mistakes in the beginning

I am starting to get worried. They never said why they delayed the release in the first place, and now the window for release is almost over.
They can't release the game in March because the competition is way to big. Jan-Feb was their window where they had no real competition.

I swear this is not the first MMO, where simply things like planing the right release day is being ignored, by questionable delays.

They actually said why they are delaying it!:

"we really appreciate the love you show for our upcoming game – and understand that you can't wait to dive into the action. We are really passionate about the project, giving it 120% all the time to deliver a game that lives up to your expectations.

Unfortunately, this commitment to quality and the best player experience also means we have to postpone the Open Beta to Q1 2018. We had hoped to finish a number of tasks faster, but in the end we rather invest more time and money to make SoulWorker an even better game than rushing it out of the door in a less than perfect state."

Q1 ends March 31st, so you can expect it by the end of March at latest!

I’m pretty sure mods know all the information now.

Edit: sorry for double post didn’t realize.

The moderators are not made aware of anything related to the game, we're all simply tasked with making sure the forums are running smoothly. The best thing we all have is to look out for Threea's Frequently Asked Questions about the game thread, where any updates will be posted for everyone to see.

They have been, but half assed about a lot of things tbh.

We are not trying to avoid your questions, we are trying to answer all of them as soon and as transparent as we can. But unfortunately that just isn't always possible. You have to understand that there are many people and departments involved, and often things need to be discussed first before they can be communicated. We need to coordinate what we can reply with the other CoMas, for some things we have to check with our Quality Assuarance or Game Designers, the people who make the strategic decisions or Korea. That takes time.

Of course, we could just jump into the discussions here and answer whatever comes to mind, or tell you what you want to hear. But what good would that do if it doesn't happen or will be differently in the end? It's probably best for the community if we only make a statement when we can be certain that it will be the final answer. Some things may not be decided yet. A few things might still change based on your feedback. Of course, that also isn't always possible, but it never hurts to let us know what you are thinking.

In some cases - like for the release date - there is a planin place when and how things can be communicated. Sure, we'd love to tell you the date already since you've waited quite a while. But we still can't just blurt it out in the forum. So a "soon" is the best we can do for now.

I know it's hard, but try to be a little more patient and don't become too negative just because you don't get ALL of the answers right away.

From my experience, and I’m sure from a lot of other players experiences they don’t have good recalection with the company. Judging by how things were handled in Tera, and Elsword with were quite poor in quality.

Now looking how Soul Worker is being handled with not even a Discord (which attracts players to play together and communicate together in 2018), not knowing a release date, stamina system, and then looking at past experiences with the company. I can only see this game not having the population we all hope for.

This has isn’t towards you specifically, it could be that the product manager just doesn’t feel the need to release information . Which is completely fine, and I’m some way agreeable. The only problem I have with that business route that gameforge is taking with the game is that a lot of players will not even be interested because in 2018 the amount of games that are in competition is astonishing.

Which is why I personally feel like releasing information sooner rather then later keeps players coming. Doing things this way I can only see players 1. Not being interested. 2. Forgetting about this game completely. At the end of the day I’m just a player and you guys are the company. I don’t know anything right? Just looking at other successful games in the same genre they didn’t do things this way. What do I know though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edit: I think we all can agree we don’t want this game to be a ghost town like EU elsword.

As i mentioned March is a terrible month to release in. You got not 1 but 2 Major franchise releasing their games. Final Fantasy at the start of march, and Far Cry at the end of it. They will steal all the spot lights and overshadow all the releases in March and Early April.

This is why i was hoping that we get a release before both of this giants enter the gaming market.

Which is why I stated what I said, I don’t seem to understand the business model they seem to be following.

are you sure?

Know that they broke their first 'promise' Late 2017. So be aware they are not having issues to drop Q1.

I'm just happy with their "soon", still better than other games left in the dark. It will come out when it's ready. Even if I want to play this game, I'm not in a hurry to do so, I have work to do and other games to play :3

Not everyone has his time to spare and whoever knows what will happen within one week. One can die, anything can happen and I can't die without playing Soul Worker first! I will ask death to pass on me today

Shush you just want to see Haru panties.

But i agree, give us this game asap

I think keeping my mind occupied with other things is better than getting crazy waiting without a specific date yet :c Not saying I don't want it now but I need to keep my hype in control.

Nobody is dying....yet?

Neviel I'm sorry your avatar makes me think of a dog barking.

BAW BAW

(Now I will always see it like you do :c)

Was watching someone steam SW .... made me wanna play now more so fired up the JP client. The game does scratch a particular itch for me that neither Closers or Krititca quite do.
