Yup, same like Oculus with their Oculus Go.
I know itās an unfortunate situation but it seems like a lot of people are simply asking for the impossible.
I donāt like how they told multiple backers that their unit is being shipped in the first spreadsheet and is now in the ābeing builtā category in the new one but that seemed to be the case for 5k+ backers too.
In the end itās not Pimaxās fault that their country shuts down for a couple weeks and there is simply nothing they can do about it other than offer the switch to the 5K+ which have already started the shipping process.
then i was mis sold the item as it was pimax who suggested the BE rather than the 4k
They can at least answer some questions here instead of being completely silent again.
Haha, all right, they wonāt be taken for granted and youāll see how they disappoint their Kickstarter users again.
LOL, but the reputation of Pimax, not China, suffers.
@anon74848233 while iām thankful for the update, this is not what was supposed to be happening according to earlier announcements.
So why is 8k not in production now, when apparently the screen shortage was solved on 18th?
What changed?
Above Dallas already said (regarding 5K+)
- we will start pre-order shipping soon;
So it looks like they will break their promise again (regarding delivering to backers before anyone else).
Not that I am mad about that. I just want to know when I will get my 8K.
No need trying to understand what cannot be understood and appealing to justice. A saying that is attributed to my friend Karl Rove, explains the situation pretty well.
Weāre an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while youāre studying that reality ā judiciously, as you will ā weāll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and thatās how things will sort out. Weāre historyās actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.
A social media personality with a good amount of followers can achieve more than anybody here.
THIS IS TOTALLY RUBISH.
You said All plages are sent by the end of Jan.
You Pimax left my survey 1 month, after that I requested shipping information with 1st spread sheet even I have answered many times as you know.
With new spread sheet, my situation is ābuiltā.
I thought you can not manage it only 1 month, but you said you doā¦
What I can do is only waiting, I konw very well.
So,you should not say such simple.
What I can not stand is even you Pimax left me 1 month with Monkey, you demand another month even later backers have receaved 8ks.
Amazing job Pimax
Oh no iām fully aware it was sarcasm.
Oh, I see the sarcasm now ā¦ read it too quickly at first.
Does the word āsoonā mean ābefore longā in English? Yes? No more questions.
man its crazy, why on earth canāt they speak proper english!? one mess after another. why is kevin pimaxusa not in this forum for god sake?
Funny, I donāt see expecting my headset before backers thousands after me impossible.
Itās not as though CNY suddenly was announced, itās their main holiday! After all the delays and broken promises they should have put all their efforts in to getting all headsets shipped before the holiday
not only that - we would give a sh** about holidays in their position, fact.
The 5k+ has been more than suitable for them in this kickstarter project, while they clearly believe the 8k is their flagship hearing comments of Matthew and Robin Weng, iām starting to believe your point after this last update and with what we know until now.
Not sure if you are getting a 5K+ or a 8K but I see that you are also in the UK club. No one from the UK has been getting their units.
You say that everyone knows about CNY and they should have put their efforts in. To me at the last it is very clear that they did drastically ramp up both production and shipping to try get as many out as they could before CNY.
People are mad because of the few amounts of 8Kās going out. They said that they didnāt have the parts available for the 8Kās so while they were waiting for the parts they focused their full attention to the 5K+. They canāt make more 8Kās if they literally donāt have the parts.
People are telling them to keep working through CNY to send more units out. This is one of the impossible tasks I was referring to. Their suppliers for parts and logistics companies they use will be closed for CNY. So if they run out of parts they canāt get more and the ones they do produce they canāt ship. There is nothing they can do.
Some people are wanting 5K+ loaner units to be sent out while they wait for their 8K. While that would be lovely, you have to be reasonable. There is no chance in hell they could actually do this. This would cost hundreds of thousands for Pimax are is a ridiculous thing to even suggest.
The only thing they can do is give you the offer to switch to the 5K+ which they have already shipped so they wonāt be delayed by CNY. People should be thankful that they even have the option for this because in no way do they have to do this.
Itās a shit situation that backers in the 6000ās are getting their units before backers in the 1000ās but thatās life mate. Not everything goes your way.
ā¦running out of parts is another problem. why are they running out of parts? they know exactly what they have to produce since months.
