Possible patch delay

[TheVedis]

Whilst everyone is defending SE, you have to admit, a delay ontop of a delay is pretty unproffesional for a service we're expected to start paying for next month.

And whilst im sure people will always retort with, then don't pay, it doesn't change how unorganized they are.

actualy, unprofessional would be releasing a patch with a gamebreaking bug knowlingly

Theres always some excuse, every patch.

It wouldn't be such an issue if they didnt tell us to originally expect it as early as late november, then early december, then delayed again.

Defending their proffesionalism would just be plain ignorant.

I believe it was stated end of nov early dec... then they said it would be delayed and would be coming the 14... now they found a pretty bad bug from the sounds of it... would you rather a delay to fix said bug and get a good patch out or just push the patch out with the bug and hope for the best?

the cat is bemused =-.-=

I'd rather them sort their shit out. I have never seen a game that has had such a consistency in delays due to bugs.

so your saying its acceptable to release a patch with a gamebreaking bug?

gotcha

releasing a broken patch vs delaying it a few days, its all about which is the lesser of 2 evils, and anyone whos ever played a real "broken patch" in any mmo would tell you its better to delay a patch by a measly 2 days to fix it vs not being able to log on cuz the server is always crashed(in which case theyd be waiting to log on anyway)

it's because u never seen a game with dateline laid out for you 2 year before......... other company would simply keep it quiet until they finish the patches then announces maintenance date and you would never know if they delayed the patch or behind schedule because players are not expecting when it will come. Logic, can you have it?

Right that is because some other games just push it out then either wait till a player finds it and goes woops we didn't know about that *HOTFIX* or they just later go *HOTFIX* "we found this bug in the system and fixed it" or "sorry but the spell XXX for class ZZZ had a bug where it incorrectly made the spell do *STUPID* damage and one shot everything. This has been fixed". Yeah never knew any games that ever did that...

In the end I don't care they found a bug and they are fixing it and so the patch gets pushed back a few days... nothing big... I mean its not like you had scheduled time off so you could be right there and first person on the server to play with the new patch... I mean you didn't did you?

You make it sound like they are fixing a bug they didn't cause.

I wouldn't want to play a game that has crash bugs ect of course, but don't get our hopes up when they are already on shaken ground.

of course they caused the bug! they are the programmers

geeze you make it sound like its the end of the world and we should crucify them for being human and making a damn mistake

A game has never gone under such severe repair as this one.

When you've lost your client's trust, the last thing you want to do is give them empty promises.

Every patch is like this, if it were just this one off time, it wouldn't be an issue.

Theres only so much delay's/empty promises people are going to endure before they grow impatient.

I think I just died of laughter. XD

Glad someone appreciated it.
