The testers and the team have together tested several hundreds of games for you. Even though the testers got their own busy schedule, they contribute as much effort as they could, especially lord @SweViver, who allocates all his free time to the testing. Thanks to the input by the testers, we made huge progress recently.
The only prioirity now is to deliver a better headset to your door asap.
The project is challenging in an industrial level. VR headset is never the only ingredient of the whole VR experience. For those who are willing to contribute to the closed beta:
Thanks to all the enthusiasts that already participated in contributing the data! It helps the testers and the team to explore the recipes to utilize the potential of Pimax 5K and 8K.
When the closed beta ends and embargo lifted, we will make you comprehensive product reports, and email the reports to all of you via the Kickstarter system.
Just please give us a ball park on the closed beta. Are we talking this month, this quarter, this year, this decade? Please give us some expectation so we can all take a breath.
All they will tell us is that âThey will start shipping when the closed beta endâ but I donât think this is good especially towards those who helped you raise 4 million for your product and gave you l hope so maybe you should give them a bit of hope just by giving them a time frame e.g the beta should be ending in 1 month but if any unexpected issues occur will update you guys straight away.
Unfortunately, Pimax is screwed, no matter what they reportâŚ
This announcement: not enough details
(these are hypotheticalâŚ)
Weâve started shipping today: Wait! Donât ship until itâs really ready.
Shipping is delayed from recently announced date: You lied! You suck! Youâll never ship and you stole our moneys!11!!
Etc. There is no limit to internet rage.
Unfortunately, itâs not surprising why Pimax isnât announcing details.
Personally, I cut @allocen some slack. This was a mild post, all things considered.
As mentioned in a different forum thread, he has medical issues and is in near-constant pain. Thatâs enough to make anyone bitter and angry. He uses VR to distract himself; no wonder heâs impatient.
Is this meant to be the monthly update communication from Pimax? If so its highly disappointing that thereâs no actual news or progress reported. Do we really have to wait yet another whole month to hear anything more from Pimax about the 8K?
As long as he doesnât start cursing and or start doing personal attacks, I donât have a problem with anyone.
You can be annoying, just donât be offensive.
âŚalthough even if suffering from that kind of night-marish condition doesnât mean that you should be allowed to treat other people indecently⌠but I know what you mean, and anybody having been in pain (earlier this week I had some nasty nerve radiating its inflamation through a tooth or two - distinctly unpleasent) will know how that can influence oneâs behaviour to the worseâŚ
[quote=âallocen, post:14, topic:7173, full:trueâ]Finally some HOPE, after years of pain and struggle, i think i finally might be able to have a social life once this nightmare is over.
So much to be done, driving license, getting a new gf (previously pretty much dumped me because of my health issuesâŚ), gonna travel around the world finallyâŚ[/quote]
Iâm glad to hear that things are looking up (at least a little). Just take one day at a time and try to enjoy any little positive thing. Being ill really sucks.
True, but sometimes it can be hard to resist the urge to lash out, even at the ones you love.
I have an auto-immune issue (currently under control). In particular, it can trigger searing eye pain. The best I can describe it is like having lemon juice poured into your eye, hour after hour, day after day. I wouldnât wish it on my worst enemy.
You start to think of doing irrational things, like ending it all or removing your eye with a spoon (seriously). I finally found the right doctor, who knew how to treat nerve pain (which doesnât respond to common pain killers).
Unfortunately, the best way to learn sympathy is to experience similar situations. Iâm glad you have found some hope and I wish you success in your quest for treatment.
I still have eye pain and/or headaches most days, but itâs generally mild, unless I have a flare up. Itâs something I can live with.
So it is you skulking around here! I thought that was the case, but the AI disorder was the clincher.
I can understand and even empathize with allocenâs plight - you know my situation (car accident, rebuilt with spare parts, permanent spinal nerve damage/pain) BUT I cannot excuse or condone poor behavior and unprovable allegations and defamation. Pimax is neither the causation nor the cure to what ails him, and as such are undeserving of the vitriol being spewed forth at them constantly.
That being said, @allocen - Best of luck to you in finally finding the cause (and hopefuly the cure) to your current health issue. May it provide you the peace that you have been sorely lacking for quite some time.
@neal_white_iii - FYI, I finally am getting the remote for my pump properly programmed so I can âdial inâ the medication level on those breakthrough days. Will be happening next week, and I am actually excited at being able to control my own pain without being a zombie from all of this. Hope things improve for you as well - will keep you posted.
