1.) This isn’t their first product, they may have learned from their mistakes
2.) They ran a Kickstarter for this product, I’m assuming so they could complete the headset (unlike the 4K) before shipping it, rather than constantly fixing issues after launch as they have done with the 4K.

I think you are confusing my patience with overconfidence… I know there is a chance this product will fail and that doesn’t bother me, I knew that going in as should everyone else who backs a Kickstarter project. Of course I want it to succeed so I give Pimax the benefit of the doubt (if I didn’t have confidence in them from the start I would have never backed the project).

If you think constantly hounding the creators and demanding updates is the way to go, then feel free and I’ll just avoid reading your posts. Just know that your constant negativity is painful to read, and is detrimental for the mental stability of the developers. I just hope the devs themselves aren’t reading these forums as I know if I was in their position it would be incredibly painful, stressful, and distracting.

The usual suspect bashing the product and the developers. Don’t you have better things to do with your time?

Your agenda is obvious, you’re lucky the moderation here is utterly nice, with me you’d have been banned from this forum long time ago. Your constant disaster predictions are boring and uninteresting.

Nobody is constantly hounding the creators. We wanted a CES update, Pimax promised it and didn’t deliver. That’s all.

I know certain people don’t like reality and thus try to avoid it at all costs. Because accepting that reality makes them sad. I’m not one of those, I always accept reality and if it’s bad, then that simply means there’s work to do! A good developer will think like that, a bad one will think like you do.

Thanks for the compliment. You do realize I AM the moderator ? :slight_smile: I accept all kinds of post, bad, good, that’s all fine. Only if you start insulting people I will delete those. You can do that elsewhere, not on this forum. If you can’t behave like an adult you’re in the wrong place here.

I Think that pimax is making pimax
We have a product and they told the history of all prototypes and all improvements.
This is well made .
I like it.
Why?
Because a list of official issues is a bad spot and everything pimax says is a VR news
But @deletedpimaxrep1 during road show with M1 go only with True heavy vr games
Thank you for The update.

I only remove insults and personal attacks. You can take it up with @deletedpimaxrep1 if you don’t think I’m doing that correctly.

Product development would get nowhere without critical assessment from customers, backers and people passionate enough to care about it.

To stop the “distracting” element, all they need to do is communicate better the things they said they would respond to. So by responding in their “update” with a history of their progress and the upcoming progress as “Fine tuning” is not the answer people have been waiting for this last week. That is why people are getting passionate about it. Lack of communication all over again. It is almost purposefully vague.

Anyway, here is some more hope for whenevernever

Really? That’s why almost all development for all products is done behind closed doors. Thanks for that opinion, though.

That explains a lot.

And about your advice, shouldn’t you give the good example and not bash the product and the company in almost every single of your posts?

I’m not ‘bashing’ Pimax at all. Bashing is trying to talk something/somebody down, just for the sake of doing that. I want Pimax to succeed, I would LOVE for them to deliver THE best HMD in 2018, one that people still think is the best for years to come. I want Pimax to take over HTC and Facebook and make them look like idiots. But I do NOT think that will happen if people can not point out current problems and discuss them. Only when you accept reality you can improve it! Simply looking away is NEVER a good strategy.

Pimax are in dreamland with this update.

The CES 2018 presentation was a damn disaster and a half.

Within 45 days they want to be on the road with M1.

Why?

Stay home and stop dragging the Company name through the mud.

It doesn’t matter what they do, if they stayed home the forums would be exploding about the fact that Pimax didn’t show up at CES. What’s worse; showing up with an unfinished prototype or not showing up at all?

Not showing (in public) until they have fixed all, is the better. Only good and reliable testers. And then showing to all.

I have been in development for years. Feedback is crucial. Feedback from strangers is crucial. Refine and repeat to profit.

Feedback is extremely important. If you chuck all you have into version 1 behind closed doors then release it you run a high risk that you missed certain aspects that consumers wanted. Unless you are already established as a leader in development, only then can you with confidence do it behind closed doors so as to stop competitors copying you.

Same here, hardcore C++ developer for over 10 years. Feedback->refine->feedback->refine->perfection. That’s how it works.

Same here too, hardcore C++, C# and Java for over 28 years. The Feedback-Refine cicle is the best.

You’re developers and you can’t accept the fact that a prototype has bugs…

facepalm

So I’m guessing when you guys develop something, you post detailed explanations of exactly what you’re going to fix and how you’re going to fix it before you actually fix it, right?

No, you are the one who doesn’t want to accept it. Or at least not talk about it.
