Oh yeah, it was no doubt a lot of work. I'm not doubting the effort involved at all. I just find it amusing that they had a full day to do it and they still broke something.

They had a full day to do the implementation but software and the hardware it works with sometimes does unexpected things, and sometimes it's not even something you can catch in testing since it doesn't manifest until all the pieces are chugging along together in a production environment. All said, this is a pretty minor bug for the changes that had to be made. Though I imagine there are probably some more that will come up.

Sadly we suffer from too many armchair devs in here that can't give good input other than small indie company please understand where it doesn't matter how big you are...stuff can happen regardless. Heck apparently Ashes of Creation is going to launch with no issues....yeah no MMO ever has done that.

Sometimes when you're bigger it's even more of a problem because either more moving pieces or more chefs in the kitchen. My company is on the smaller side so there's a smaller pool that has to communicate and coordinate together. We use outside consultants for some things too (which is another possibility for SE) and that just brings in even more headaches.
