General Pre-launch Discussion

[pcad]

While I wasn't here in the early days, I believe the blue, green and bronze rolled out as expected. Then the silver had trouble in its first release and had to be fixed. Then the gold took forever. I'm guessing at least a year between ordering/payment and delivery. In the meantime CE sets were bought and the obsession line was introduced. The red and black extremes were also delivered before the gold.

So yes, there were long delays for the gold revomaze. It didn't help that the gold was a significant departure from all previous revomazes.

I'm pretty sure the Gold was nearly 2 years late (if not over 2 years!), unless I'm thinking of the Collectors Sets, which some people are still waiting for!!!

That's the reason why I've not bothered emailing Chris or Sophie, as I know I they probably haven't got a date (or if they have, they won't make it!) and we could be waiting a while.

Therefore I'm just sitting patiently, checking back here every once in a while.

I got an email from Sophie this morning explaining how the CEs that were sent out last week or so ran longer than they would have liked so my gold CE got moved from the 9th to the 16th. Im not worried about it but thats the story!

an update for R2 is long over-due. this is chronic behavior from RevoMaze - disappearing with no news, months after the promised original ship date, after taking money for a product that wasn't ready yet. All things they said they wouldn't do again.
*SIGH*

I get a funny feeling that the payment for the R2 and Voyager status is to help fund the CE sets that have only just started rolling out. Im actually starting to lose interest in this product after the long wait. Especially as ive paid about £200 out for something we were told would be ready by the end of May. What im asking myself now, is if this happens on a regular basis, then how long would it take to get the whole set of R2s out? If ever...

They work really hard to deliver all CE-sets and I also believe this is the correct priority and I have no problem to wait as long as we have updates and they are moving forward.
I also believe it will be much better in the future when there are no old undelivered puzzles. And it feels like we soon are there and maybe we can hope that we only can pay and order puzzles they have in stock.

I ordered mine last week. As Im new to the Revomaze's I was not around for the other issues. I will say though that I also do the ISIS series and have had the next release on order since november of 2012. They were supposed to be delivered by christmas but as you can guess that did not happen and I am still waiting. I really hope that this does not turn out the same because I would be highly disappointed. Some delays are sometimes unavoidable but thats were accurate updates can stem the amount of frustration. All I can say is it better be worth the wait. If the R2 is a one day solve like the blue I might just have to cry..

I like the idea of making easier puzzles. I think it's a good idea and it might appeal to a wider group of people and might get more interested in the puzzles.

Anyway, here's whats said about he Mercury:

Difficulty: 50/100

Your journey begins with the R2 Mercury; much like the R1 Blue this puzzle is designed to help develop your mazing skills

I have to agree with this.

And there are hardly any updates and there will be plenty of undelivered puzzles if they keep taking orders for new ones that aren't made yet while they are still trying to get old orders out2. They will just keep backlogging orders and the same thing will happen again. There seems to be a pattern here.
