As much as it pains me to say this, but we just have to keep on waiting. But damn it, it ain't easy, especially when you are itching to find o… moreut who the "I thought you were dead" person is. I just finished playing episode 1 again, and its made me want episode 2 even more. Sighs.
Don't forget earlier in the thread when some people were scrutinizing Telltale employee's tweets for being about their social life instead of work on the latest episode.
For fuck's sake. Now a TTG employee's Twitter avatar is an issue because she's smiling in it? And "soon" and "so excited" is trolling? Jesus, the whining is beyond pathetic now.
I just hope that TTG takes this issue they are now acknowledging in the right way. There is a thin line between company that releases a game on time but rushes it and releases a bad product (like EA for example) and company that fails to release on time but gets out good products like TTG so far. It wouldn't be a problem if the episodes come out later as long as they are honest with the fans and explain why as much as they are legally able to. I wouldn't want them to start rushing episodes out either because of the pressure. Just have to get rid of that odd communication style where they say its around the corner and then you have to wait 1 more month.
After my 10th attempt of trying to reach Telltale by email, I finally got an answer regarding their release schedule. Other than apologizing, … moreand anticipating it not happening again, they said it's currently their top priotiry to repair their episodic model, and get episodes out sooner in the future. However, I would not take their word for it. But at least finally they acknowledge their issue.
And all it takes from them is to tell us in advance that the episode is going to take longer than expected due to some problems and to give us… more a teaser trailer to keep us happy until the episode is released. But instead, they stay quiet for months, and post those useless tweets from Job and @puzzlebox saying how the episode is "just around the corner" and that is coming SOON. For fucks sake TellTale, we can understand if you're having some problems developing the episodes but don't ignore your loyal customers like this, it is very unprofessional.
You constantly build up hopes until you almost burst, interpret the smallest slice of new info as a definite confirmation of an immediate release, you're demanding new information every single day. If during that time you're served hope questioning facts from community members - mods included - who have been around far, far longer than you were, you don't want to hear anything of it. And when you finally get official info, you're naturally disappointed far beyond the reasonable. You will then present an exaggerated opinion that at best has half a foot in reality, and you will attack people left and right who aren't responsible for anything at all.
Today, you attacked Mike for an assessment he made 26 days ago. The assessment was "episodes are usually available 4 to 6 weeks apart". Now, you and I know that Season 2 doesn't seem to be a "usual" release. Things are taking longer than expected. Almost a month ago, Mike could not have known. But already two weeks ago, you had plainly called him a liar for making that statement. That's your usual rethoric, seriously.
That's just shameful and embarrassing behavior.
Here's the simple truth. Telltale's episodes ARE usually available 4 to 6 weeks apart. That held true for the vast, vast majority of their games. You've been told - an individual response to a support inquiry - that repairing the episodic schedule is Telltale's top priority now. Could you ever interpret that as a lie also? It would seem a very natural path of action to me, because you can't be an episodic game developer if you don't keep a reasonable schedule. Telltale WILL improve their schedule. For a lot of reasons, one of them being that it really can't get much worse. They've been the studio that delivered on time, for six consecutive years.
Somehow, you seem to harbor the fantasy that attacks, insults and exaggeration, rinse and repeat, will somehow lead the path to better times. When Telltale necessarily starts improving again, don't pat yourself on the shoulder for that. It would be the moment that I would call YOU a liar.
I began with arguments which the majority apparently appeal and acknowledge to since September last year. It's not my fault the voting system … moreis still here, and in my opinion a vote don't count at all for me to get courage to express myself. Didn't you say this yourself once regarding votes? Perhaps not. I say what I think, and it seems to have worked so far without any major problems yet other than moderators not really approving my of views as I express it directly aimed at Telltale. But that is not my problem either. As long as I, and others, don't violate a major written rule, you will just have to accept us as we are. So don't judge people by how many likes, or dislikes, they have received.
Starved for Help can justify for its length. If A House Divided isn't even as long as that one, well that's a big fat egg of solid fuck made by Telltale.
That is correct. Starved For Help took exactly 64 days to release. The remaining episodes varied from one month to six weeks I believe. Let's hope things turn for the better after Episode Two.

i am thinking about playing the first episode again. i never replay any episodes only just play them once as they come out. has anyone else replay them while waiting lol? i am kind of nervous i don't remember what choices i made..
This is not about "acceptance".

But at the same time, Around Every Corner was just as long (probably longer) and yet it came out in the 4-6 week period. I really don't think it has much to do with the length of the episode. I think (totally guessing here) that they use the break between the first two episodes to make any final, significant changes to the story once they've received some feedback from episode 1.
Again, that's a guess. But when you look at the fact the The Walking Dead Seasons 1 and 2, and The Wolf Among Us have experienced long delays between the 1st and 2nd episodes (and I never played it, but I'm pretty sure I remember Back to the Future dealing with this same issue), it seems like there is something more significant that occurs in the development cycle between the first two episodes that causes delays.
Starved for Help can justify for its length. If A House Divided isn't even as long as that one, well that's a big fat egg of solid fuck made by Telltale.
Your guess is correct. According to the unofficial FAQ, the second episode of everything Telltale have released is used to take feedback from reviews, and like you said make final changes to the game overall, before they reach a final conclusion, which they stick with throughout the season. That is probably why it takes longer than usual to get the second episode out. But once it's released the remaining episodes should release within their time frame as they by then have the required information they need to make a great season.
We all saw how good Starved For Help turned out to be. So, imagine how golden A House Divided is gonna be. I really hope Telltale don't make me wrong on this...

Someone need to bring the accurate information to the customers. But I guess if I were to create a thread in the support forum, explaining what Telltale's concept of time really is, it'll probably get deleted as quick as it takes for me to write it.
OMG, just look at this thread. I bet that noone from TTG ever reads these entries, unless they have no other choice. It is a unacceptable, how paying customers are treated by TTG, The accumulated pain and sorrow that have been created by setting expectations and not fulfilling them is outrageous.
I assume, that the reason is, that too many people have already bought season passes for TWD 2. This means, that there is no incentive for them to deliver episodes in a timely manner. Guess, how it would be like, if they were paid from episode to episode? I bet they were not more delayed than a week, if any.
I will never.
Buy a season pass.
For a Telltale game.
Ever again.
Unless, of course, all titles are already released and available for purchase. I will rather buy each episode individually and spend a few bucks more than to play this game of delays and broken promises and disappointment again. And for now, I will go and get TLOU-LB and try not to think about possible release dates.
You can try it if you want to, but all you're going to do most likely is cost yourself a little money. I'm not on the inside, but I feel very confident when I say that this delay has nothing to with how many people bought season passes or not.

Also spoilers for the comic book and to an extent TV show.
Telltale has confirmed to us that the games are canon to the comicbooks. Lee's group meet up with Hershel in episode 1 and then leave or get forced out after Shawn's death. Hershel then begins a collection of walkers in his shed, starting with Shawn, thinking that they can be returned to normal. Rick's group then shows up at Hershels farm shortly after, and Hershel eventually accompanies them to the prison where he stays until he is killed by the governor during his taking of the prison.
It can't be Hershel, he is dead.
It's most likely Kenny or Lilly, and supposedly could be Molly. My money is on Kenny since he seems to be the most likely to be assumed dead by Clem, most likely informed of what happened by Omid and Christa. She has little reason to thnk Lilly is dead considering she either steals the RV or is abandoned on the road, it's not as if she was overrun by walkers. Molly is a possibility but in one instance she obviously survives and chooses to do her own thing or she gets shot / overrun and runs off. Lee assumes that she may not have made it. Telltale does try to tailor the trailer to some of your choices, and if you brought Clem along with you in Episode 4, she has absolutely no reason to think Molly is dead and I'd hate to think Telltale would make that big of a mess up in the trailer.

I'm so addicted to season 2 that I played the first episode 20 times now...

I'm part German and I don't even know what anyone's talking about.
Don't forget earlier in the thread when some people were scrutinizing Telltale employee's tweets for being about their social life instead of work on the latest episode.

Yes I was slightly traumatized by that moment.

That guy has awesome facial hair.
You sure took matters into your own hands.

Well this is definitely "a crooked mile" for us in waiting for A House Divided
Starved for Help can justify for its length. If A House Divided isn't even as long as that one, well that's a big fat egg of solid fuck made by Telltale.
Oh ok! I'm set on both games being done by at least August. Then the newer games starting around Sept-Oct. Seems sensible enough to me
We've been waiting for 67 days to be exact.
Watch telltale not release it in march
When people are determined, they'll do anything to achieve some form of success.
 and yet it came out in the 4-6 week period. I really don't think it has much to do with the length of the episode. I think (totally guessing here) that they use the break between the first two episodes to make any final, significant changes to the story once they've received some feedback from episode 1.

That they will, but I won't be surprised if they turn early to mid or late.
I don't want the episode to be released yet. I think we need more time to discuss the first episode and who is the "i thought you were dead" person.
Your guess is correct.

...Oh, so you are one of those people who thinks anything negative about Telltale gets deleted.
ok and what the fuck is this supposed to prove?
...Two point five months later.

Bastard I thought this was the trailer lol

Dude, it's been over 2 months since episode 1, i think we've had MORE than enough time to discuss and speculate who that person is..
again nope.
this is pointless hot air you two a blowing out here.
7-9 years ttg have been running,
twau and twd are being worked on still and then got game of thrones and borderlands
and since they are being paid/helped by gearbox ttg will not fall most likely they will be bought out, ttg is not going anywhere for a long long time.
and saying anything else is just stupid.
bottom line here is if they had any idea they were in the shit they would not have bothered announcing two more games.
seriously stick your heads back in the sand.
