Is the bug forum just an eternal purgatory?

T5 perma-stun bug has yet to be fixed, going on week 3.

Was it reported? Or are you still using it?

I don't think you understand.

Why would anybody use a bug that allows Twin to jail you for the rest of the fight without a Dreadknight alive?

Here is a duplicate bug report but can't find the "Accepted report"

Since there have been no more posts we consider this problem to be solved. `_' that is, to paraphrase the normal response.

I don't have the patience to explain programming diagnostics and workload prioritizing to the indignant and the self-entitled.


Nor do I have the expertise to do into depth into the former - I understand enough to know why I outsourced my code-work in design to others, back in the day.

But going into network code is like going into an car's transmission box, except the gears in the box are about sixteen pixels in size and millions in number. And it only takes one botched gear to cause the entire box to go down.

Pompous white knight alert!

Watch out guys, he knows what he's talking about, what with his in depth knowledge of programming and workload prioritizing and such.

No but seriously man, do you read your posts to check to be sure you're not coming off as a total ass-hat before you post?

No, I actually took the time to make sure my disgust was properly expressed before I posted.

Seriously, people need to get over-themselves in these forums. It's as if their personal problem is the number one priority SE should fix, and Twelve forbid they have other matters they are tending to.

I'm sick of it to the point of being livid just watching it. There's not a lick of patience here, and I've got NO problem being condescending when someone starts their conversation off calling me a liar.

A week for a bug that completely halted all progression in the game is "reasonable"?

Yes, it is. Beilieve it or not bugs can not be fixed at the snap of a finger. Your demand that something be fixed in less time than might be humanly possible depending on the circumstances is what's unreaosnable here. I can name very few games that are able to turn around patches within a week of an issue being reported, much less 5-6 days.

You must not play any game for very long if you threaten to quit for one bug not being fixed within 5 minutes of reporting it.

Bugs happen. Deal with it. There isn't a software program in existence that doesn't have a bug somewhere. Many of them are not simple and require many man hours to address, something you fail to understand.

Also, not being able to turn in a quest does not completely halt your progression in the game. You can still level up, you can still craft, you can still do anything you've already unlocked, you can still do other quests.... etc.

Okay. This argument is going nowhere and frankly I don't care enough to keep talking about it. I was just using it as an example of a bug that took them days to fix in the first place.

Right, and I was just using it to explain to you how taking days to fix a bug isn't itself a problem, as differnet bugs can take different amounts of time to fix and that demanding an unrealistic timeframe for a bug to be fixed is unreasonable.
