OMG Do not go live with this patch! Its not ready!

Agathorn · 09-21-2009, 06:29 PM

Are you guys SERIOUSLY going to push this patch live, after its been on test all of one weekend when there weren't even any devs around to address bugs and issues we have found?

Just get rid of the test server. Its obviously not here for any REAL purpose.

God i've been such a supporter of you guys but this is going too far.

Weee all abord the nerf train round two!

I typically like the fast turn-around time in patching CO but I agree with this posted. This test is rather significant and many changes have been noted that were not part of the patch notes. Need to bake this one a bit longer!

The phrase "half baked" has been springing to mind following almost every patch that's went live since the retail one

Hey, they may suprise us tonight and have altered the various parts of the patch that the players have been having issues with, or left them out entirely for further testing.

*tries to be optimistic*

I agree. There's definitely something wrong with gear and their values. It's not consistent and therefor, most likely not correct. Would have at least liked a dev to post about what happened there, but so far.. nothing.

I don't give bat droppings about the nerfs, but there are changes and bugs that have not been addressed by devs. The patch was on Test for all of THREE days, TWO of which was a weekend. This isn't a Test Server, its a Preview Server and Cryptic really should be ashamed of pushing this through so fast.

Many posters here have literally played/worked hard over the weekend to test things and provide solid data on possible bugs, inconsistencies, and at the very least they deserve a DEV post saying SOMETHING.

I have to agree with the OP: there's very little point to having a "public test server," when any commentary from the aforementioned "public" is roundly and consistently ignored.

This is turning tragicomic: a potentially terrific game subverted by one breathtakingly bad decision after another. I'm going to try to stick out my 6-month subscription, but if this trend continues, I doubt I'll log in much. Ah, well...live and learn, and it's only what, a hundred and twenty bucks or so?

Well so far all the devs have said is that the *economy* change is coming to live.

Since I haven't heard any complaints about that aspect of it, it's entirely possibly we're overreacting. You guys have stated your worries, now wait for a dev response. Going around in circles shouting "doom! doom!" won't change anything now. The only option is to wait. If they read this thread, they'll know what's going on. If they don't read this thread, repeating more of the same won't change anything.

Where are people getting the idea the patch is going live tonight?

Edit: NVM! What a shock.

According to the front-page and front-page patch notes, everything's going live. I would have also liked to have seen additional testing performed, especially since the Devs wanted up to 1k people testing this patch to find problems with - many of which were found, and not necessarily addressed.
