2021-08-08: T1 V1.5 Progress​

The mid August V1.5 batch will be offered to a group of selected testers first, and yes, people on the forum will be among the selected testers.

After we collect the feedback from them, we will open orders to those with priority and then the general public in September.

This is going to disappoint some people, but doing so makes the product better.

This wouldn't be as disappointing if you were all transparent about that to begin with. Not sure why I gotta find out on the forum and not the email list. What's the point of asking people for their emails on the website if I'm not going to get any information.

The email subscription is meant to notify people when we have *sufficient inventory.

Afiak, subscribing doesn’t limit notification to August batch.

We just don’t want to spam people until there is substance.

Based on current subscriber vs August inventory ratio, selling out quickly will certainly piss people off even more, internally we also struggle with the decision.

Due to the backlash customer service gets when things sell out too fast, a public release in August just leads to unnecessary drama for the Customer Service team.

It doesn't say any of that on the page it just says working on updates and enter email. Also, one of the mods on reddit told me you don't send notifications to make sure less people know about the drops so im not sure what the whole spam thing is about. I want to be clear that im not upset that the date has been pushed back, i can wait. I mean you said that it was a possibility in the last update. It's just a pain the lack of information that is put out because I didn't even know that you were intending to make this a long term product. I thought it was just going to be a one or two time drop and discontinue it.

The whole case was intended to be a limited production run but it's just very succesful. Don't really understand what you're complaining about. Be happy it's being developed despite the virus and all the troubles they have had with factories and materials.

If you don't understand what customer service is then I can't help you. Never said I wasn't happy but nice straw man.

If you think there's a lack of information then I can't help you. Between this thread and the dedicated Formd sub on reddit there's probably more info on this case then any other.
Reading through this thread beforehand would have given you all the info you needed before commenting if you were interested in it.
You don't seem to understand that this is not a big company like Corsair and the case is developed using his own funds.
That said, I don't have any Affiliation with Formdworks.

Thanks for the announcement, I hope this will help to improve final product quality.
I have a doubt, who has priority to buy?
Thanks!

Seems pretty standard. That's how we got v.1.1 so this is either going to lead to meaningful improvements or it's going to be confirmed ready to go after a few builds, fitment and tests. Given the level of configurations, it will help people figure out how they might want to build.

On that note: someone in this test group had better run a HWL 280GTS build so I can stare at it and rip off their loop build the second I can get a v1.5. I'm looking at my 280GTS waiting in the wings this very moment hahahah

Having your customers read through 673 pages worth of information is not customer service. I'm sure you enjoy wasting your time to find simple information but that's on you. They're reddit has more information on the case then their actualy website and you wouldn't even know they had a reddit or a forum on here If you just went to their website. I understand that he's not corsair but he has mods that he can help him build the website rather than searching through threads in the hopes that you find what you're looking for.

You're twisting my (and W360's) words a bit. They don't send out emails to "make sure less people know about the drops", they don't send them out because the emails will get to the people that subscribed to them far too late (your email provider is too slow to getting emails to you when stock can sell out in 5 minutes or less). It's all because FormD does not want these people to get upset that they got an email notifying them the case was in stock, and then when they get there (for example, right as you got the email) there was no stock, then they would be really upset. That's the reasoning for not sending out emails for these very limited drops. At least, this is what I remember the reasoning being in the past.
But know this: The mods on the subreddit do not speak for W360. We (myself included) only take the information that is said in this forum and on the subreddit and try to remember all those 673 pages of information and all the bigger posts on the subreddit so when people have a question, we can answer it to the best of our abilities using correct information that has come from the source, or from other people who have built in the case.

I'm pretty sure none of the mods on the subreddit know how HTML or shopify works. We cannot help with the website in any capacity. And, I'm 90% sure there is a link to the subreddit on the website (when it is operational, which I wish it was more of the time instead of always being on the "Coming Soon!" page so more people could find the subreddit) so people can go there and as questions, which many people have done.
Even then, we can't put all of the communities knowledge about the case into the website, that would just clutter it way too much.

Are we going to see builds by the testers on the forum? Or is it a dev and tester only thing. Fairly new to this case and how its being developed.

Ohhhhhhhh, it's getting closer! I still don't have my video card yet, so I'm fine with the wait. It'll be interesting to see which ends up arriving first - the card or the case!

In the past, the people that got the cases early showed off their builds and experiences after they finished their builds, or while they were doing it. It's not under NDA if that's what you're wondering.

Can't wait to see some dual rad builds when initial batch go out. I really want to be able to keep a 3090 build (currently just cooling GPU on single 240 with 5600X on air) in T1. Hoping 1.5 will let me do that! (and maybe let me upgrade to 5800X or 5900X but not priority).
