Possible patch delay

[Hubert]

In my opinion the devs should shoot for smaller patches and quicker releases to avoid this kind of thing. One bug in one feature ends up delaying the entire patch for a few days when the players have already been waiting for a couple months. Combat reworking and new content I can forgive, but did we really need to wait this long just to get player search or repair adjustments?

Although I suppose with the horrible patcher in place large and infrequent patches might actually be better after all!

Another white knight who so readily takes the blame for SE's mistakes. And yes coding deadlines in games industry do happen and they can be met if the staff is capable enough. Especially when it comes to minor tweaks. It would be different if the release of the whole game was on the line but it seems that was the one deadline they were truly committed to. =__=

Another Worthless Troll who doesn't have a clue what they are talking about, but thinks they do.

Devs gave us info based on their best info, happens there was a unforeseen error. It is extremely common in programing every studio has it happen to them. And not just gaming. If you want to argue with me... tell me 1 game or 1 Major product that does not have hotfixes after major updates. Want to know why those exist... screw up in code. The devs could of released the game, but why do it when there is a critical but rare issues that could happen. Better then doing the old Aion style rollback... imagine the rage if SE removed 48hrs of all progress from everyone.

Microsoft, Apple, SE, Blizzard, EA, Bioware, NcSoft, Nintendo, and many more take your pick they all had delays due to coding errors. So call me a white knight but it only proves your ignorance or stupidity when it comes to programing.

You realize 1 Word in 10000 lines of codes can make 100,000+ lines of code on multiple pages not work or work in a way it was not intended. And try finding that when there are no error codes lighting up on the dev software.

Hitting Deadlines are great things, but there is no company in the history of gaming that has hit them all the time not even on a single online game.

My Statements about what they will probably do is all true. Because people like you cry bloody murder when there is a minor delay in a very large patch.

You trolled yourself with my silly random (that half the internets seem to agree with) comment. You could have let it go but you had to react like you composed the damn thing.

This wouldn't have happened if you didn't say /puke which you are trying to troll me when I wasn't even talk to you or anything about you.. just joining in on the Excitement with a fellow that wants the game as much as I do.

Why for people with 50 50s complaining about SE's screw ups is always trolling? /sigh

I am 50% with you, 50% with him. Bugs may be part of software developing but there are also processes and practices to keep quality within acceptable levels.


Tanaka Team's code maybe a huge pile of unholy manure but you would think that a year later they would have gotten it enough under control to stop being late on every single major patch...

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

Wasn't this launch?

In my defense: I didn't say "/pukeInYourGeneralDirection"

nope, launch wasnt a gamebreaking bug
it was just a game that the devs at that time shouldnt have released yet

I should know better than to attempt sarcasm in this forum.

What? It was practically malware!


Like in that Win95 is a virus joke.
