Patch 1.2.0a is BROKEN! Rerolled to pre-1.2

you sir have obviously have not been around long in the MMO scene

I remember content patch bugs that stuffed up and servers were down for 2-3days

M2 the game was basically deleted

1 game i used to play a patch opened sockets to private data files and peoples personal details inc credit card numbers were out in the open.

once again, **** will be fixed, stop the QQ, find a hill and GET OVER IT!

Ill join you on that one m8.

Nice strawman. Where did I say it was minor? I said it is not the biggest fail in mmo history and mentioned the most major screwup someone could make. So don't get your knickers all in a twist from withdrawal kid.

Most of us are only slightly annoyed.

Most of us know that these things can and do happen.

Most of us have experienced the exact same kind of thing in other MMOs.

Most of us know everything will be restored.

Most of us recognize that BW is still new in this genre and is making the same kinds of mistakes most other MMOs have made.

Most of us just ignore threads like these.

For some reason, I'm being stupid and responding. I'm sure I'll regret it.

Woot!! Only been playing 1 week and so far most of that has been watching patch screens during my play hours Uk time.

I love the rage in this thread its much better than any MMO i've ever played before!

Can someone make it into one of the bioware cut scenes with heartfelt critical response so i can at least pretend im still playing.

il keep my 39.3 million split between my characters ta muchly

This. Precisely this.

Having played every major MMO (and several not-so-major-why-the-hell-did-I-spend-money-on-this-crap ones, as well) at least for awhile in the last decade, having some downtime the day after a content patch is pretty much par for the course. I mean, seriously, does nobody here recall that stint in WoW right after Ulduar where a huge chunk of NA servers would crash every 1-3 hours, requiring a complete rollback and regular announcements of "We have now fixed this error", only to crash AGAIN in another hour?

That crap took MONTHS of going through that cycle before Blizzard admitted it was a serious problem. Hell, after the first round of "We fixed it" they refused to even acknowledge the problem until people started calling in by the thousands!

At least Bioware's being pretty open about this process and they're trying to make sure it's as stable as possible before bringing the servers back up, rather than just throwing a few quick patches at the servers and hoping it doesn't cause more problems.

In short: I need you all to pull up your frilly stockings, tighten your thongs, and stop acting like a bunch of pansies.

Found the reason for the epic fail today. This is not related to poor QA and project management.

Pardon me if I believe it when I see it. After rolling out an unfinished, feature incomplete update to the live servers, paint me with not surprise that things are breaking this badly. Seriously someone (probably many someones) need to take a couple night computer science class at the local community college and learn how professionals do this stuff. This roll out is clearly beta testing on the live servers, that is bad form.
