Quote:did the introduction of new features render the game unplayable recently ? YES ! What was the emergency maintenance that happened after walk was introduced? Could I play the game? NO, it was down.Originally Posted by Sapphire7
The only change I made to your statement is to highlight your own words. "core of the house will be unusable". So tell me, is the core of the game unusable? Do we have all kinds of shiny pretties that we can't play with because the rest of the game is broken? No. Your analogy fails because with termites you assume the entire house is infested and about to come down on itself. The bugs in City are more like finding ants in your sugar. It's annoying, it's disappointing, but it's not going to cause the ruination of your entire abode.
Is the game unplayable now ? On some servers it currently is, the lag has been incredible since the booster pack went live. Is it the booster pack causing the issues who knows? The point is this wasnt happening before this booster pack. -

I welcome you to come up with a different analogy to explain why it's stupid to tell BABs not to do any more animations so bugs can be fixed.
The "you" I was refering to was the company not an individual. -
Quote:But the house has termites and you keep adding rooms, while they look pretty and add functionality to the house eventually it will fall down or the core of the house will be unusable so nobody cares about the optional rooms.Originally Posted by Dispari
Let me make this easier for you.
We're making a house.
Positron is the manager. He looks over everybody and makes sure all jobs get done.
War Witch is the architect. She makes the blueprints and decides what the house will look like.
pohsyb builds the house based on the blueprints. He places the building materials and hammers in the nails.
BABs is the painter of the house. He makes things look pretty.
You're saying all the devs that have NOTHING TO DO with fixing bugs should drop what they're doing and fix bugs instead. You're saying the painter, and the manager, and the lady that makes blueprints should STOP doing that and go rebuild a wing of the house. You're saying that BABs, instead of painting the parts of the house that are done and correct, should somehow redo the kitchen cabinets.
It's not his job, nor does he necessarily even know how to fix bugs. His job is completely and utterly unrelated to the thing you're telling him to do. If we were to stop production on everything else until bugs are fixed, probably 90% of the devs would be sitting around doing nothing. Bugs would continue to be found and fixed at the exact same rate that they're being fixed now. The only difference is that everyone else on payroll isn't doing anything now.
There's plenty of stuff for BABs to paint while the garage is being fixed.
Or if you like adding rooms stirs up the termites.
This is just a silly analogy, this is software not a house. Even Microsoft realised you can't keep constantly adding features and expect people to ignore the underlying faults. In their case they called a complete code freeze and review before moving forward. -

Doubt I am the only person who wants bugs fixed ahead of new features that are chargable. Hell I want bugs fixed ahead of any new "free" features. -
Quote:I get that they apparently have resources to add new content that they want more money for when they apparently don't have resources to fix the bugs in a game I have already paid for. I want the game fixed before I give them more money.Originally Posted by Hallowed
Because, clearly, all the same people are involved in those two completely different and separate projects/activities.
Sigh.
Will people ever get it? -
Quote:How about they fix existing costume bugs instead of wanting me to pay for new stuff?Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
How about you don't ask the costume designers and animators to fix code issues?
Obvioulsy trying to hit me up for more money is more important to them than fixing a bugged game that they already have my money for. -
How about you fix the damn bugs in the game instead of trying to hit me up for more money !!!

Its funny that people are complaining about how long the initial event would last (13 hours), in my humble opinion I think people would complain that the event didnt last long enough even if it had gone for 24 hours. Heck people complained that the Halloween event only lasted a week and they didnt have time to get all the shinies.

At least it would have given the rest of the world a chance ! -

...why? Go read the Announcements section, loads and loads of publicity on this event, the new studio name, the Steam launch... Same goes for the COH front page.
Not Marketing's fault if, you know, you didn't read it.

See ! Zealots read these post. The game intro screen should be update to point your average player here -
This is the worst publicised event EVER ! You haven't even updated the web based info start-up messages. Only the die hard zealots that lurk in the boards even know it's happening.
Why don't you update the web intro screen and while your at it you could tell people you have fixed the SG bases so they might use them again.
I'm sure the rest of the community would love to know.
P.S. I'd get a new marketing team if I were you.
