Possible patch delay

[Baxter]

Minimum of 2 days, which Yoshida did say well before release the only thing that will cause any further delays is a critical bug, nothing minor they can emergency patch after the fact.



This hurts more than helps, people explained this to you in your topic -- Still don't understand that concept?



When my brother was playing it, you know what the first thing he said?

"This line is so idiotic I guarantee it becomes a meme just because of the fact it's kind of funny but not too terribly funny, thus it's the perfect meme -- people will think it's absolutely hilarious for months to come."



Face it, Skyrim isn't the best game ever, not everyone likes it -- Shocking right? People have different tastes in games. (Plus Bethesda always leave in glaring issues, ironic given people saying Skyrim is perfect yet complaining about at minimum a 2 day delay in patch when one of Skyrim's first patches negated the effects of Resistances and somehow reversed dragon flypaths ontop of preventing Dragons from disappearing in order to get their souls...)

Yeah XIV may have it's problems, but you have to screw something up pretty badly to do what Bethesda is known for doing when it comes to bugs.



This is so funny, people bashed hard on FFXIII and saying sales meant nothing, by the way, FFXIII-2 also got a perfect score, so I'll use the logic people here like to use when XIII is mentioned:

"3.4 million sales mean nothing."

Here's a serious questions:

How many of you wouldn't have complained when a serious bug was found after they launched the patch? No need to answer actually, because the same amount of people would have complained endlessly just like they are complaining now and calling SE unprofessional for doing what every other company in the world does when a flaw is found and they don't want to release it to the public.

It's almost as if companies that released a buggy patch or software full of security holes which is more detrimental to the end-user would release something called a "hotfix" or "security patch".

Nah, a company hasn't ever done that before because only SE delays patches and have buggy products. /sarcasm.

Except.... Final fantasy 13 was 26 dollars within 3 months of release.

Was full price when it released to NA/EU, so not to my knowledge.

Dear SE,

Just delay the market stuff to 1.20a.

<3 Sephrick

I agree. That is if they could take the new market code and push it back to 1.20a.

I don't know anything going on over there, but it could be possible that the new market features are so intertwined with the old code that the entire market wards would have to be disable while this bug gets worked out.

From that perspective, would would you prefer? Get everything out now but without the ability to buy/sell on the market wards or wait a few days for them to work out whatever happened?

Depending on how they have done and when they discovered the critical bug, it might be actually faster to fix the issue instead of removing what was already coded.

It's not like they can just go to the source code, comment a single function and the market wards are back to "normal".

SE is like that friend you know that's always late for everything. The one you always have to wait for. Waiting a few times is ok, it happens. But waiting every time, well, eventually it will make you feel annoyed, and rightly so. Why someone is defending this behaviour is beyond me.

Funny thing is, I'm sure even Yoshida will admit that it's not good enough.

It's a day or two to fix a bug they caught prior to release. Would you rather they just let shit slide and then have an emergency maintenance, disrupting your planned play the day following the patch? Get over it.

disrupting your game and shutting down the server for emergency maint and kicking you off when your the first group about to kill the moogle with 5% of his life left!

Christ, if only I could fix the code I screw up that easily...

King Moogle's special attack: server crash! Kill 'em quick or you'll get kic.........

Sometimes that does work!

Two days later my boss comes in telling me it actually didn't.
