And I'm going to stop you right there. That excuse is no longer valid because the entire problem is that RobTop physically can't/won't do this on his own. The community has kept asking him to hire a team (Viprin can rate levels, Serponge has coding experience, etc), but RobTop has refused for reasons he hasn't even revealed. Basically, RobTop chose to be one man when he has the opportunity to pull together to help him with the game, so he needs to pick up the pace. I've already posted a full length rant on another similar thread, so I'm going to go out with the message that (1.) complaining with no context will help nothing and (2.) we've been patient long enough and RobTop has done nothing for us in months, we can't keep giving him second chances. Well it's still important to acknowledge that he is one man. Just because he has not done much to get extra help doesn't mean he can magically get updates out faster. There's really no point to ignoring that fact, because all it will do is just make you more impatient. Is it really fair to him to pressure him like he's a whole team of people just because as far as we know, he hasn't done anything yet? Of course I'm not saying whether he should or should not get extra help, but he's busy working on this massive update right now. Attempting to acquire a whole team at this moment would only postpone this update even more. You missed my point. RobTop is choosing to do all the work himself and even added more unnecessary stuff. I suppose you are correct when saying it's a bit too late to get a team now, but the big picture is that RobTop is doing all of this damage to himself, and other solutions and doesn't use them. For example, announcing a hiatus on Twitter, or posting at least what the block design looks like (I find it really hard to believe he hasn't at least drawn a plan in pencil or anything). I just can't accept the "he's one man" excuse anymore because he's been offered help and took it down without even giving a reason, and decided to bite off an unbelievably large amount greater than what he can chew.

When has he been offered help? Sure, people have suggested he get help and urge him to give rating capabilities to people like Viprin, but I don't recall ever hearing of someone offering help. Didn't he also say he would consider getting help on one twitch stream? He has not chosen to be a loner yet. Hiring a team is a very big decision which takes time and a lot of consideration. I agree though he does get a bit too ambitious. Although it's too late to turn back. I'm sure the next update won't take as nearly as long, considering he'll probably try to limit himself along with the fact that there really won't be much else to add.

Perhaps that wasn't the best choice of wording on my end. "People have suggested he get help" is much more accurate. And I don't ever recall him saying he would consider getting help through Twitch, though, and since I don't know when he said anything like that, if ever, I can't really say "he would've announced if he had gotten help" or anything like that, because he might have done it very recently, and as you said, getting a team together does take a long time.

RobTop did this to himself. I don't know what he expected when he denied getting assistance from other people.
Nobody should be surprised that 2.2 is taking this long to come out.

Did you start the game in 2.1 Robtop takes about 1.5-2 years on average between each update, and I’m pretty sure 2.11 counts as one, so expect GD 2.2 to come out maybe a year from now. Robtop also posts all level sneak peeks like within 1-2 months of the release date so you have a long way to go if you want to see a peek at Explorers. One silver lining about this system, though, is that 2.2 is packed with features, so that when it finally does come the game will become a good bit fresher again (and then become stale like 3 months after 2.2) Thank you very much but no, I play since 1.0, I know how the game evolved. It's just, think about it, Fingerdash's sneak peek came out several months before 2.1, so why can't Rob just release Explorers's one already and keep up the hype?

Rob's still adding stuff to the next update. Guess he will post a sneak peek once he's done with all the ideas. Also yea, the game will pretty sure survive till 2.3, especially because 2.3 will have an awesome feature, that I'm pretty sure won't make players quit

This is the main thing I'm interested in, because since 2.11 I've got a lot of optimization issues and these broken high graphics textures kinda get on my nerves, especially when you're trying to create something.

inb4 2.2 comes out the day god eater is released If you're referencing the pattern of 2.0 coming a short while after BB was verified and 2.1 similarly after Yata was verified, I don't see it. GE is not a groundbreaking level in difficulty, unlike the previously mentioned two. It's a belated solo project that crashes the game for most people.

Alright here is my guess and my opinion (dont get crazy on it haha) Might take a while i guess, since rub is really slow and lazy (im sorry), And one of my complains for each update is that most of the update feature are just the same in a diffrent way, like shops, gauntlets between map packsand vaults, they are pretty much the same anyways, all he does now make a spin off game like gdw, gdm, gds to increase the hype and attract more people to buy GD

Oh yeah that reminds me, what if RobTop actually decides to make a new level for Meltdown/World? (probably not Subzero) I'm not too sure how coding works, but it could potentially take time to incorporate 2.2 features into Meltdown. I think that's actually a possibility, as World is the main reason people came back just before 2.1. I think it's too late for RobTop to make a new game for 2.2 since he already made Subzero (trust me, a fourth spinoff would be really underwhelming almost a year since 2.11), so he might decide to go back to one of the older spinoffs and make a new level/world.
