James, I understand what you are trying to say, but you have to look at the bugs that have already occurred since the update was released on test. Pirates have been deleted,
reset, weapons and clothing drops lost. If that was on live, it would be a disaster! At least on Test, people expect these sorts of things due to the plain fact that it is the test server.
Its understandable that not every bug or glitch will be fixed by their release, but its important that the major ones are. Is it frustrating? Of course! But it is worth the wait to know
that when the update is finally released to live, there should minimum to no problems.

And as for releasing it this weekend so the issues are fixed more quickly, it may certainly bring bug fixes about more quickly, but it also very well may not. What if they release
the update and they find out they have to shut down live for a few days? Or what if peoples main pirates are lost and reset? How about if you found a ton of cool weapons only to lose
them all because the servers had to reset? Would that be worth having the update released before it was ready? I personally do not think so.

I can't imagine how upset I'd be if these issues occurred to my live pirates. I know its difficult to wait, but the way I look at it, we've been waiting this long... what is a little longer
to ensure a bug-free release? I'm sure that people aren't trying to be mean here, they are just trying to explain to you why it is important that Disney does not rush this.

Disney will undoubtedly release it before we think it is ready, but in my opinion this is SO far from ready, that even Disney will realize it. I have a level 41 (been a 42/43 a couple of times in the last couple weeks) that has TP quests to all the islands, and NO weapon quests. I have "plundered" uncountable cool new weapons, only to log on the next day and have them all gone (again). None of my "big" pirates (Level 30+) currently have the new weapon quests, and they all should. It isn't ready.

Geez no need to be so mean about it. Disney will not lose money, people will be getting game cards etc, and this update will probably both bring back old members and bring in new members. They will fix it asap on The Live Game instead of a few days on Test. In case you guys had not noticed They had to reset the levels etc in order to fix things. This is Test remember?

James, Live Chat is just gonna tell you what you want to hear, and for the who knows what number time... unless posted on the site, don't believe what you hear. If everyone on this forum said that the update is coming this weekend, does that make it true? Short answer, NO.

If Live Chat told you that everything can't be fixed, WHY are they telling people in emails they are working on patches? Even more proof, don't believe what you hear from someone.

Disney won't lose money? You said so yourself, they have had to reset the levels in order to fix everything. What makes you think that will be accepted by everyone on the Live server, the server of which the purpose is to PLAY not TEST.

And not to be "mean", but you sorta contradicted yourself. Saying that Live Chat told you bugs can't be fixed, then saying that if the update is released to Live, the bugs will be fixed faster.. don't see how that's possible if they "can't" be fixed And while on this.. the TEST server is where the game is to be TESTED, not on the LIVE server where people are there PAYING to PLAY.

I don't remember, I KNOW what Test is about, you should try to remember that too.

I have friends will not put in their new game cards until the game is updated... why waste money?

I understand that it could be bad for those not on test, but everyone still has to be patient. I would be saying the same thing with or without test access. I wouldn't mind waiting for the updates, and I would actually prefer to be able to enjoy them without bugs. Being patient for the bugs to be fixed would be more rewarding to the players in the end.
