I have a right to how I feel like everyone else. I am sick and tired of companies promising things to customers and not delivering.

How do we know when Feb. comes they won't push it back to April?

You're absolutely right that you're allowed to feel that way, but at the same time you've got to appreciate the fact that it took less than 20mins(!) for the CEO of FFG to reply to this thread after I posted it. To me that signals that Grand Moff Matt (Emperor? Let's not get carried away here) is actually taking an interest in, bottom line, his customers - you, me and everyone else posting here.

And please remember that pushing deadlines is something that frequently happens to a lot of games, in all stages of it's coming to be. Another thing to remember is that with all companies (respectable that is), deadlines are not set in stone and will likely to change, to fit the company idea of what they want that product to be like when we actually pick it up in our hands. Most of the time, when a deadline is breached, they will tell us why (quality issue in this case) and let us know when they expect the product to be ready (newly estimated to be february for this game).

Now there's no guarantee that it won't be pushed back to April, or indefinitely for that matter. But it's highly unlikely it won't hit the shelves since it actually is in production, which is where the delaying issue arose. If there's another delay, I'm sure that it will be for a good reason and that Matt/FFG will let us know why.

I for one can only say Thanks! to Matt / CEO of FFG, for letting us know what's going on with the Second Wave. Great to see your reply to our questions and (out)cries. And I'll gladly wait a bit longer for what seems to be an awesome expansion!
