@Devs @admin

Guys, when are we getting the next "The Road Ahead" blog. Its been about a month now since the last and I haven't had a good laugh in ages (err.. sorry, I mean I'm eagerly awaiting the next update)
Anyway, when can we expect the next update?

Wrong ! I know they have at least £130, I gave it to them (1x CE Game + 1x 90 Day Sub)

The last one was posted 6/4 and the one before that 5/1. Following that pattern, I draw the conclusion that it will be sometime on or after the first.

That would be too logical of a thought process.

Obviously it's expected that the July Road Ahead would be released somewhere around June 27th.

Sarcasm aside, I really am looking forward to the next Road Ahead. Want to see what ideas they have in the background. See if it's time to change my sig again (since they are already addressing stamina builds).

This one has faith in ZOS and she will knows that they will do a good job. May be the next "Road Ahead" will lead her to the next sweetroll! (Khajiit has been good!

)

Allow me to hand you some tissue. You appear to have something on the end of your nose !

Thanks, that was icing from the last her last sweetroll.... ZOS's sweetroll (aka content) is good! (Like all new content, it has a few bugs to work out, but it just take time -- Rome was not built in a day...)

It's really impossible for you to just post a simple question without making it a not-so-veiled-and-ridiculous attack, isn't it?

If you're referring to me? GET A LIFE, or better yet a sense of humour, I was having a little fun with them. Geez... get over yourself ! ! !

grizzbi · June 2014

Insulting a company isn't the best way to get an answer. Also the previous "road ahead" article covered the road map for the next months. Why would they do another one 3 weeks later when most of the content listed in the original article have not even been released?

It was a bit hypocritical too. Come on @Nerevarine1138 you posted way worse than this yourself more than once and got away with it.

Besides, it was more comical jousting than anything. Like sports fans of opposing sides ragging each in friendly rivalry.

Feel free to point out where, and last I checked, "When are you posting another update? Because you never actually update things you say you're going to, and I wanted to laugh at how stupid you are," isn't comical or jousting. It's just mean-spirited and flat-out wrong, for that matter.

That's because of his mod. friends, I know this from first-hand experience.

I've been very upfront about my 50 Shades of Grey-style relationship with Matt Firor. No need to be so circumspect.

Heads are rolling it seems, as a new CEO takes over in management services tied to Zenimax, so maybe they don't see a road ahead until they get some new employees.

I think you may want to re-read that article. Sleepy Giant only handles back-end services. They aren't involved in game development.

Oh, I'm sorry. Please explain what the "good laugh" was that you haven't had since the last update. Maybe I missed all the subtle humor they put in when listing the future content they plan on adding.

Wow, you're friends with Mr Firor, in that case how stupid of me. I didn't realise how important you are, no wonder your opinion is more valid than mine (or anybody elses)
Does explain a lot though !

I... I just...

Maybe we just have radically different senses of humor. Yes. That must be it.

Hypocrite. You never had an issue with this comment. In another thread just now.

I don't see any difference in this to the OP here. Both were pretty funny, light hearted and made me laugh.

Yes, you should reread it and also check the head hunters agencies too to get some perspective. Then find the connections between marketing outsource agencies like Sleepy Giant and why red ink equates to job loss.

I made a flippant comment in the vain of being remotely funny. You pretty much accused me of saying they were lying, calling them stupid and incompetent.
Trying to over exaggerate a point just to try and make yourself sound clever(or informed) does neither.

He obviously got it, as did most the other people on the thread, but hey...
If you're really that unhappy with it, please feel free to report the comment instead of just trying to derail this thread !

That thread was a week old, and since the post was actually funny, you're right. I didn't have an issue with it. See, I don't have a problem when people are actually funny.

Sleepy Giant is an outside contractor who handles things like online stores, account management, etc. That company's hiring practices have nothing to do with ZO's developers or hiring practices. They're two totally distinct entities.

If Sleepy Giant's restructuring has any impact on this game, it's going to be things like the online store not getting new items for an extended period of time.

Translation: It was not a comment against the game so I found it funny.

Oh and it was a week old! Ladee freaking dah. You told me!

This article talks about Sleepy giant, which is an entirely different company than ZOS, or even Zenimax for that matter. Their staffing is not a concern to ZOS, nor do they have any say on the matter.
