Dear Fellow Console Users
Some of us feel betrayed or unloved by BHVR. The new chapter was revealed to pc on May 29th it is now June 25th. We have all heard it was a large patch that includes financial transactions which made it a long certification process. Ok i completely understand that. The problem is they "could have" released the chapter and removed the shard cap for all users across all three platforms at the same time and the PTB could've instead been used to test the store with pc still getting it first and console waiting on the store patch. I think that would have made better sense and the community wouldn't have felt as upset. The "curtain call chapter" wouldn't feel "old" already. It was poorly planned and executed. What can we do about it? We can complain all we want they won't listen this hasn't been the first time and most likely won't be the last as history usually repeats itself. Here is what you can do: DON'T BUY AURIC CELLS!!!!! If you want to buy the chapter go ahead or grind it . Use self-control and DO NOT BUY AURIC CELLS. You may say "hey i want shirtless David" who doesn't (actually i don't). The idea is the pc people bought their Auric cells so they have probably figured out an estimate of what to expect when console gets the store. LET'S MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD, Do NOT BUY THEM!!! I'm not saying forever just for a time a week, a month, 2 months, However long you can hold out to prove to them this treating CONSOLE like Second Class Citizens NEEDS TO STOP!!!
I personally will grind the chapter. I don't care about a white shirt for Kate.
I also won't buy the Auric Cells at this point i don't see anything special that i "need".
YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY POSTS AND COMMENTS ABOUT BHVR ALL YOU WANT BUT THEY WILL NEVER LISTEN.

But something they need to understand is that technically Fortnite is still in Beta. This allows them to take advantage of the less stringent Beta Cert process and it allows them to make weekly updates on point. Keeping Fortnite in beta is an incredibly smart business tactic, and nothing will change it unless MS and Sony change their cert processes.
We will probably find out information regarding the PS4 update during the Dev Stream this week.
Either way, we understand, we just wish more could have been done to ensure we got a closer release to when all the hype has been built up. I've been purposely not watching videos of the clown and even my hype on him as wained just from the discussions. We all know it's just a matter of patients, some just want to vent our frustrations. It's catharsis, what's the harm in it?
After all, at least the attention this thread gained may have inspired the more detailed update
As I've said earlier and some ppl not you but some completely ignore the fact they said 1-2 weeks. As in business days Monday through Friday. MS got back to them today which is still under that 2 week timeframe. So tomorrow aka Wednesday would be the 14th business day.
They never anywhere said any kind of time frame.
They said "We do not have an ETA right now it is in the process. USUALLY it is a couple weeks, 2 to 3 weeks at the most" and that was 12 days ago.
The Developer Stream this week is going to be all Player Created Artwork and Lore Questions. People should know better by now than to expect anyone answering the legitimate questions people have for them.
Which is within that time frame but in another thread they'd also said they expected it to take 7-10 business days, so my points still stands. But if we go by the 2-3 weeks you said then all the complaining from console users has been completely and utterly pointless. Since it's still within the timeframe they estimated and since they posted an update today it should be quicker.
It's not late, though. This has already been discussed ad nauseam. BHVR did state that the console release would take approximately 2-3 additional weeks due to the size of the update and Microsoft's and Sony's certification process.
It's currently week 2 since the release of the update on PC (June 12). The update shouldn't technically be considered late until the end of next week. If it takes longer than that, then I agree that something should be done by BHVR to accommodate for time lost. But until it's actually late, based on the timeframe that was stated by BHVR, then we just just need to show some patience.
Why do you think the shrine is closed until the 29th, and the double bloodpoint weekend isn't until July 5th? These dates are based on the need for an extra 2-3 weeks due to the certification process.
Microsoft certified the update, Sony has not. So, wouldn't this now be the fault of Sony for PS4 users?
Yes, it would be.
This would cause the whole update to take far longer to get certified. We'd be looking at another 3 weeks to get the full update.
Midnight for Xbox to get the new content, I'm Genuinely happy their wait is almost over. Me i'm on PS4 so if i start posting about my friend Wilson hopefully everyone will understand.
@Amanda55 it has already begun.
Soon!
I'm in spaceballs!
Mel Brooks is a shining beacon of humanity's achievement.
@Coriander how i feel the Devs reacted to console being upset.
I appreciate your honesty and humor but i'm sure you won't be alone.
You've seen the new cosmetics, right? Many are totally worth paying for (and can't be purchased with Shards).
Oh yeah? Well... I disagree!
Mid 20k people on this forum didn’t but cells that’s less than 1% of their player base, more than that will already be accounted for as players who’ll play for content... o one gives you something for free if they are concerned about the bottom line.
We just need a responce, I hope they give us an update for PS4 on the dev stream tomorrow.
unfortunately a lot of people don't seem to understand what a working week is
I know they said that they would get DLC out at the same time, but in this particular case it's not just DLC. This is a really big version update that changed a number of things, added two more characters, another map, an entire in-game shop, etc. If I read correctly in another thread, the Xbox update was 12GB, which is the size of the entire game. I'm not saying that it's 12GB of new content, but that's still a really large update to push through the certification process. The purchasable DLC is just a small key file that unlocks The Clown and Kate.
Again, they planned for this, and warned the community. They blatantly said that it would take around 2-3 additional weeks for console to get the update, and planned the re-opening of the shrine and the double bloodpoint weekend around that time frame.
I get people feeling left out, but everything points to BHVR planning for this delay and making it pretty obvious to the community that there would be one from the start. This is why, personally, I found the knee-jerk reactions to the delay to be ridiculous. It's not actually late until after the end of next week. Anytime prior to that is well within the time frame that BHVR stated.
They planned for this? Highly doubt it. They announced 4 days before the clown release that consoles would get it later. If they had really planned for this they would have told us sooner. It seems to me more like they finished the patch and then remembered that there is a certification process for consoles and submitted it late, resulting in this wait time.
If they had really planned this they would have had the DLC ready a month prior to release and would have used the PTB to look for bugs or balancing changes while certification was being done. As it was now, the PTB came way too late and it seemed that they barely got everything ready before the PTB release. This really makes me worried and I hope that they work on upcoming killers even before the next one is released, otherwise it seems highly likely that they won't finish the next killer, when it took them 5 months for the clown (but they can't be that stupid, right? Right?)
No, they already said in Reddit Q&A from May 14 that the certification process would be slower because it's a big update and consoles would very likely get it later.
yep once the dlc is released on PS4 it'll all be like this never happened and the world will continue to turn as it has done this past few weeks.
in the malaise of multi-ps4-dlc-whine threads I've actually lost track of what we was talking about but yes...you are correct - what is the point of it all. I don't necessarily have an issue with impatience, I do have an issue with people clogging up what is a great forum with multiple posts complaining like little bitches about the same thing over and over and over again
Love Dave - guys a legend
So any fellow PS4 players feel different about them cosmetics now? Are we still waiting patiently? Is everyone at their shard cap?
