Hotfixes - Why so many? |
Quote:
...they are consciously avoiding throwing out changes and seeing what happens. While some changes have been implemented and then reverted, it's not because a lot of thought and effort didn't go into them, but that simply they didn't work as intended.
Throwing it out there and seeing what happens is exactly what they're doing. You don't hotfix a change and then undo it 2 days later in another hotfix. There seems to be a serious lack of foresight and internal testing.

Don't worry guys, it'll be balanced once Cata comes out and we are all 85. 
That is pretty funny. About 3-4 months ago that's all you read around here. Now everyone is scratching their heads trying to figure out why they're getting shit flung at em' and not tissues.

Some changes in 4.0.6 and/or 4.0.6a were just wrong. For a myriad of reasons the changes made in 4.0.6/4.0.6a either did not pan out as expected, or were simply mis-calculations/interpretations. Which is the reason for a number of the quick reversions and changes in hotfixes shortly after the patch.
I know this is a video game played by nerds comfortable in their computer chairs but still....this level of incompetence would cost my company hundreds of thousands of dollars and would get me fired so fast it would make your head spin. Just a few parameters wrong and I would be recording the wrong data and poof, cash just washed down the drain.
What makes them think this is a good way to do business, this throwing darts a dartboard full of random hotfix BS? Again, I understand this is just a game but this is their full time job and I would expect a little more professionalism out of them. That's my 2 cents.

As I said in another thread, this looks more and more like they put some noob programmer in charge who is trying random values hoping that one will work.

The funny part is that blizzard's standard practice for years has been to simply lie to their customers but most are so daft they are just now figuring it out.

Blizzard: "Argle Bargle, Blah, blah, blah, blah."
Foot meet mouth.
They still come across as arrogant, uncaring and totally unresponsive to their customers. Throw in shucking responsibility for their screw-ups and it makes it even worse.
They seem to be trying to communicate but keep saying the wrong things and its just making it worse for them.
Start taking some responsibility for your actions or dont post at all.

Sounds like Blizzard is completely devoid of a quality control department.

I am so using that in everyday life to mockingly mimic people talking with their heads up their arses. Thanks for that.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.
