I understood that the online edition will be released at midnight on Sunday not at midnight on. Saturday.

In all fairness Midnight is technically a new day. So the 14th was at Midnight which would make it Sunday. It was posted wrong no biggy.

It clearly states midnight on the 14th. That means 12am on the 14th, not the 15th. Even after a few hours of sleep I am still fuming and now even more mad that it is not yet up.

Just kill online, ok? FG doesn't care for it, and likely regret ever starting it. The poor service is probably an intentional attempt to run off business so they can shut it down due to "lack of interest". There is zero reason for non-having simultaneous releases except that the "cardstock community" (lol) gets their pantys wadded up and whines and cries.
I've probably got a permaban coming. Oh, shucks.

I, for one, would not like to see it go away. Not being released simultaneously is OK with me. It's not like we're waiting for weeks to get it. If I played the cards (which I get as well just to collect and play at cons), I'd like to get them around the same time as the online people.
We have to remember that the cards came before online and just like a certain wrestling fanzine, preferable treatment is given to the print (cards in our case) first, and that's fine. With the digital age, it's nice to have things in print such as the cards, I still read the paper in print and enjoy numerous other things that way too instead of digital.
Other than a slight delay in release, I see no problem with online. I like the new game table and all the hard work put into the updates.

It also takes longer to code and test the stats and special abilities so everything works properly. Guessing the online team gets the cards late in the game as well.
As mentioned, it is not like it is weeks later in this case. GCon is a big deal, so there is some incentive for the folks that make the trip to get things a little earlier.
I would not normally say anything about such things, but I personally have been working with the Online team recentlly on the design for the new site (including some cool things that aren't even out there yet ) and they work very hard to bring this stuff to you guys. It ain't easy and it ain't their day jobs either.

This isn't worth getting upset over. It's not a good business policy, but it's the policy. I can live with it, or not buy the product when it comes out. I do find the blind devotion to FG troubling at times, but it is what it is.

I dont care anymore..... Midnight the 14 is 12AM on the 14th. NOT the 15th. Online gets screwed all the time.... all that money I have poured into it and would have gladly poured more, but it does not seem to matter. Nothing is getting done so just shut it down.
im done.

I am one that only plays online, mainly because its more convenient for me. Info buy some card sets, such as ROH and enter them in create a character. Was I a little dissappointed it wasn't up last night? Yes, but just because I am eager to see the new stuff, but overall it's not that big a deal if I have to wait another day or two. But I will say, I do agree simultaneous release would make sense to me. Whether you play the cards and dice online, either way you are a paying customer, and as a paying customer, I don't believe one should take precedence over the other. I'm not saying that's the mentality if Filsinger Games, moreso some of the card and dice only players. So simultaneous release I believe would be the best way to go. In the end you can't please everyone, but me personally, being an AVID online players, yes it would nice to have the online set by now, but I'll wait. But I can understand the anger by some. But Filsinger Ganes hasn't let me down yet, and I'm confident they won't. Online is a great avenue to play the game, and they are working on improving it, so depsite this, I urge online players not to give up yet.
