    Yes! More time and more Money will make the game better! Darn, i wish they had loot creates or a Season Pass to sell.

    Season passes are easily one of my fav features for a game. esp the cheap ones like EA has

    Don't forget that it is not always good if a game stays too long in the Early Access phase. DayZ has become a joke because of this.
    Also there is no guarantee that people will flock to the game after release - take a look at Ark: Survival Evolved. The official release didn't bring in many new players.
    Early Access is a tricky thing. Interested players try out a game as soon as possible and judge the basics of the game early on. If they don't like those basics, they likely won't come back - even on release. If a game stays too long in Early Access it might get called a game that hides in Early Access because the devs fear release. Very, very tricky situation...

    I was under the impression that development just completely stopped on DayZ, not that staying in EA isnt bad in itself but being EA and doing no work is way worse :p
    Being EA and doing a lot of work but for unknown reasons and goals is not only "bad" but it's confusing and leads to this is a scam conclusions...Eh they are all bad, lets go with that.

    I think it will be the end of March 2018. By then, we're beyond 50 releases, and it's time to call the thing ready for public consumption.

    Ever heard of darth plagueis the wise? No? I thought not. He was so powerful and wise he could use the force to forsee the release date for SotA.

    I suspect it will be Q3 2018 but hope they delay it further as it isn’t ready and I doubt it will be next year either.

    What they should do is announce the launch date, and then launch another kickstarter for episode 2 6 months before the launch date for episode 1.

    So they'd have like the coolest mounts for pledge rewards, since apparently mounts and mounted combat are I think part of the next episode. That way, so many more people will be hooked before the actual launch, and it should be plenty more fantastic!

    He became so powerful … the only thing he was afraid of was losing his experience, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. (smiles) Plagueis never saw it coming. It's ironic he could save others from decay but not himself.

    Unfortunately, these forum polls just aren't flexible enough to handle something as complex as Port setting [and keeping] a release date. ;);)

    I chose Q4 purely because I think that whatever "date" they promise on the 14th will, based on historical attempts to set release dates, be pushed back to the end of next year. [Prove me wrong, Port!] :p

    IM just going to say it, Q1 2028 after a few more
    Dont forget about coconuts, whom needs a mount when you can use coconuts to narrowly escape the exciting encounters!

    Darth Starr: You turned the Players against me?

    Backer-Wan: You have done that yourself.

    Darth Starr: You will not take them from me!

    Backer-Wan: Your ignorance and the lust for Money have already done that. You have allowed the Whales to twist your mind until now you have become the very thing you swore not to be.

    Darth Starr: If you're not with me, then you are a troll!

    Backer-Wan: Only a White Knight deals in absolutes.

    ..................

    Backer-Wan: You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to fight against boring Games, not join them. You were supposed to bring balance into the Gameplay, not leave it in darkness.

    Darth Starr: I hate you!

    Backer-Wan: You were my my last hope, Shroud. I loved you.

    A year after Kickstarter was the original target date I believe. So 2014. No wait, 2015. No? How about 2016 then. Well certainly it can’t slip past 2017. Can it? It CAN!? But KS was almost 5 years ago! Surely they won’t make us wait another year ..... :(

    I’ve felt like a sucker for a long time now. Whatever they say, add a year to it. If we get our physical rewards by Christmas 2018 I’ll eat my map.

    Don't say this, @Budner. I really think, we will receive our physical rewards earlier, because they are in work ;)
    And as you said, they won't make us wait another year - official launch will be 2018. And so we receive our items :)
    Don't eat the CLOTH map, it's not made of paper - I assume ;)
