20 pages of "takes ur time devz" and it's not gonna stop here.
Take it easy & see you in the forge :))

This is so great its really gonna happen!

Do I have an account on the forums? 

hi stay in english but good that there is a translation only sad that the translation doesnt have any faults in the writing against the original text.

For real, how dare some People to complain about being late or about anything. 
We all like to Play the game again, I think that's why we re all here, but that's no reason to flame or to be mad.
 
Honestly we waited for like 5 years, If I remember correctly, so what are a few more days, weeks, even month. We get the Chance to Play this game again, that is all that matters to me.
Btw. thanks to everyone who is involved and who uses his/her freetime to get this game back online.
You were and you are still all doing a great Job.
 
Greetings from Germany

Hey Guys,
This is my very first time posting (i think) and i just want to say:
Devs take the time you need. You are doing great.
And if you take at the end of the day some of the money i gave to buy yourself (lots of) beer thats fine by me.

Yup, keep an eye, not yet time for you to be free my friend xD

Beta is not open yet. Keep an eye out for announcements.

It will be available in English, French, German and Russian just like the old game was.

This is outdated. Please refer to this thread:
 
 

Has anyone here actually ever considered that is the actual reason people are really bummed out?
People as a whole can't manage expectations already, so if you foster an environment where everyone is even more pumped up and then something happens to bring things back down to reality, the backlash will be all the bigger. Everyone who constantly explodes in excitement and is getting all fired up over something that doesn't even exist yet doesn't really have a right to criticize people that are disappointing when expectations are not met because they collectively created those unreasonable prospects in the first place.
The devs aren't innocent in that regard either. Of course they need people to get invested because they also want it to be a success and earn some money but it blew up into their faces recently. In a situation like this the divide in the community between the disappointed people and the ones still riding the wave will get apparent.
I just sit back here and whatever happens happens. I would love to play BattleForge again but if this entire project bombs, I'd still go "Oh, well. Would've been nice. Moving on."
People (both the "SO FKING DISAPPOINTED IN THE DEVS!" and the "SO FRIGGIN HYPED ABOUT THIS, GO DEVS!" ones) get emotionally and personally invested way too easily. Don't forget, a lot of the people now complaining were once just like the ones still celebrating.

@CocofangI agree completely. Being full of hype like what you said functions similar to a burnout situation. Like do you know that scenario that you work so hard for hours everyday and then one day your mind just shuts down? It’s similar: you get d up way too much then when it doesn’t actually turn out how it was promised/expected, you shut down and some do it in different ways than others. Some just leaves, some loses hope, some are dissapointed but still hopeful, some people get angry. Of course we are blamed to the extent that we created that expectation, and we failed to deliver on that.
Due to that, we have made this thread for the goal to try to alleviate any anger you may feel by trying to explain and apologize, even though we realize we can’t really cancel out the dissapointment. And to perhaps convince you that there is still hope, we haven’t given up on this project at all, the opposite is true, we have however managed deadlines badly.
Exactly that is one of the reasons why we have been lenient with people venting within reason, but not to the extent that they severely insult or offend. 
In any case, we realize the exigent circumstances in which people may lash out, and we do keep in mind that in other situations you might have very well been our biggest supporter or fan!
As a final word, I would like to say that we can understand any dissapointment, feeling of hopelessness and even anger and we are here to address and to attemp to further alleviate any further ill feelings whatsoever you may have.  

Thanks

Meanwhile lets have some fun !
p.s. all jokes aside - we appreciate your hard work and we wont mind to wait another year if needed

Actually I think this has been a subject of discussion more than enough and normally I don't join such shitstormlike structures on principle, but this sentence makes me think you're stupid, so I need to inform you:
First of all Duke Nukem Forever: 14 Years delay... you wouldnt have said that if you had been waiting for that game Age of Empires - Definite Edition: Six days b4 release in October 2017, delayed to 2018 Dead Island 2: Release date 2015 - not released yet as far as i know Zelda - Breath of the Wild: Release date: 2015, came out 2017 South park - the fractured but whole: 2016 -> 2017 Mass Effect Andromeda: 2016 -> 2017 Horizon Zero Dawn: 2016 -> 2017 ... I could continue this list till "1000." Last but not least: Gothic 3, released on time in 2006 -> most awefull stupid unplayable buggy game I've ever played, not even working properly and lagfree today on highend 2018 computers (without community-patch)...
So please inform yourself of things b4 you reveal your immature anger about non-professional freetime developers next time
Furthermore I can recommend this article warmly to you. Maybe then you will understand that an early release is not the most important thing in your life right now.

Just take your time guys @fiki dont take the troll chat too serious, your doing a great job.
Good thing is that we can still use the now, because of the delay.

Well... prepare the riots 

It was the right decision and i am happy it has been made despite the previously set release-date.

Im still confused... in the stream and in the forums... you allways repeat "everyone in the forums will be able to play in the open beta" and "not everyone in the forums will be able to play in the open beta", I get the part of "slowly adding people to the game", but you can just put a queue, right? i have no idea how that works, but i think is not a dificulty for you. But then there is the part of "we dont want people reporting the same bugs all the time" and then i understand it like "didn't you get it? we will add 20 people per month". I dont know... too many "yes but no". Well, i guess i'll put my hype under the bed again.

Am I on the blacklist? 

The  is real!!!!

=============================
Important notes from @fiki574 regarding Open Stress Testing Phase:
Promo cards - Will be in booster packs, except for the event promos like Santa and Easter Egg which will be related to the seasonal event. Boosters - Boosters will be a mixture of all sets for now. Speed run / map of the month - Will be available at start of Open Stress Test. Starter decks - You will start with 4 different starter decks, one of each color (Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow). Tomes - Tomes will not be in Skylords Reborn at all. New accounts - All players will have new accounts and will be named the same as their Forum account this is due to us not having access to the data files from EA regarding accounts.

Hello Skylords,
So now, let's talk about what we're going to do after all you will have to wait a bit longer, and please forgive us for this delay.

We have decided on a few things:
Everyone will receive 2 boosters once the game will be in open beta (you'll still get them even after a potential reset) From the 1st of February and until the Open beta, we'll invite some players everyday to the closed beta, to increase the amount of players, progressively (Giveaways will happen anytime during the day, morning, afternoon, evening ..) You'll be able from now to pre-download the client, and we finally after a lot of discussion decided to give the client here on the forum ourselves. Want to pre-download it ? You can use Mediafire or MEGA to download it! (You cannot start the game right now, you'll have to wait for open beta, and the release of our launcher to make it work.)  
 
INFORMATION : Giveaways for the Closed Beta will resume! These giveaways will mainly be held on Discord, but it may also happen on the forum, so keep following these two closely!
Discord : https://discord.gg/0y3WGMGXhd5q2lXA

With kind regards and apologies for any inconvenience caused,

Sincerely,
The Skylords Reborn Team
