hoonz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 seriously...4th day in a row and always in aussie prime time.... how about you TEST patches BEFORE releasing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeliZz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The game only just came out, in a perfect world everything would be tested, then tested again, then maybe tested a third time, but it just isn't practical with the amount of fixes and tweaks that need to be done at the moment.

Clova Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Lots of patches > few to no patches It at leasts shows they're trying, as opposed to what the latter would imply. No matter how silly the fix ( I /facepalmed at the baby name, but i figure every patch is entitled to 1 silly bug fix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discotech Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Pissed off about this, I get up early to play the game so I have a full day on my last day before I return to uni and yet another patch. That's 3 patches in 3 days for arbitrary fixes, some of which don't actually fix anything as the bugs still persist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemosobe Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Which would you rather have, a game that never gets patched and is buggy as hell or one that gets patched fairly often and gets running smoothly? Can't have both. Personally, I would prefer the patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrymnHoff Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Lots if little patches are a good thing. One of the things I absolutely hated about WoW is that they would wait months to publish everything in one big patch that would break the game for dozens, if not hundreds, of people. Or make so many drastic changes that I would be forced to re-download updated versions of my threat meter, UI, DPS meter, etc. etc. etc.And then they'd have to spend weeks trying to figure out what, in this huge patch with hundreds of fixes and adjustments went wrong. And then make a patch to fix the patch. Small patches mean that it is easier to roll back a mistake, you get more fixed sooner, and if you do something really silly. You don't have to sort through dozens of changes and fixes to find what affected what and where and how and if one change broke one thing somewhere that changed something.

RealLyrix Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 People are pissed off about everything these days... At least they are trying to fix stuff. But no people gotta complain that there is a patch to download!! I mean like OMG?!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moikko Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Come on stop whining about patches, better to fix if they see that something gets broken than to wait for week or more with broken patches. There is a live test server where they run patches before they release them, but still it isn't fool proof system. It doesn't help that ppl come crying here "my only duty-free day from work/uni/school/jail/throne" It happens to everyone of us. No need to come here spamming these threads as u might see with ur eyes that there is tons of these topics going on.. grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistafadedglory Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What a bunch of babies. Quit the complaining. The game was only just released. You would whine if it wasn't patched. And as far as the AUS and Europeans getting the short end of the stick on the patches... oh well, maybe you should move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSatyr Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If you're going to do daily patches can you please swap to rolling restarts? This way we're only down for 15min instead of the insanity that is 2 hours down. Yes, it costs you more, but you've been successful with the game. We're paying for it! For us hardcore older gamers 11PM PST to 2AM PST is PRIME TIME! Our wives are sleeping and it's time to get our game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeliZz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Which would you rather have, a game that never gets patched and is buggy as hell or one that gets patched fairly often and gets running smoothly? Can't have both. Personally, I would prefer the patches. While I can tolerate the constant patching and down time(for the moment), I believe your post is a false dichotomy, there is plenty of middle ground, surely at least 1 day apart would help pacify the crowd?

No matter how silly the fix ( I /facepalmed at the baby name, but i figure every patch is entitled to 1 silly bug fix) Wrong. They bring game down at AU peak time and EU day, which is NOT the lowest server population time in EU. What we have in return? Patches with fixes, that fix nothing (like resource nodes are still bugged). Patches with lot's non essential for game fixes (emotes in vehicles, baby names in credits), while lacking game breaking bugs fixes. And for that nonsense we have downtimes which are set at US night only. That is disrespectful to say the least. BW are bunch of incompetent liers. They said "highest quality service" - LIE. As of now it is lowest quality service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is complaining about there being a patch period. Even if they waited till tomorrow, he would still be complaining about there being a patch.

As of now it is lowest quality service. However, it is the GLOBALY lowest played time. I agree that it is very onconvienent for EU and Aussies, but unless they seperate EU from NA so staggering wont flood either servers form the other side, this is the best they can do right now i suppose. Also, Ive seen plently of fixes that actually fixed stuff, like indoor FPS which is what my major issue was! Also, ever think the major game breaking bugs, because they are major, might take a LONG time to fix while avoiding breaking anything else? I just think you ate one to many sour patch kids.

As of now it is lowest quality service. /facepalm some bugs might get heck loads of more code to be fixed than other, they will fix the serious problems, but it will take more time. And i do't care if the downtime happens to be on a peak hours. It is still better that they try and fix the game. And it is well known fact in MMO's that when you fix something, then something else gets broken. You can ask ie FunCom about that, Edited January 6, 2012 by Moikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
