Guild Wars 2

Just checking since you said it will be fixed on the regular Monday patch schedule.

The regular Monday patch schedule means tonight at midnight. Been like that the past 3 weeks.

And this thread right here ladies and gentleman is why developers NEVER give dates or estimates.

Then they should not, but they did.

I’m hoping for patch notes soon. Real ones, the last few have hardly been sufficient.

Dunno why they call it a Monday patch when it occurs at the very end of said Monday.

Why not just call it the early morning Tuesday patch? The general ‘patch at midnight’ thing is bleh.

@Skyrant
Lol, have you ever been to most games forums? Do you know why they always say “soon” or “in time” when people ask for X or Y? This thread. People like you who take dates very literal.

Now, before someone jumps on me about “every patch is Monday!”, yes I know this lol. But what if the dungeon doesn’t get fixed tonight? What if they didn’t meet that deadline? How will you react? People would be furious.

People do this even when developers give estimates, which no way gurantees anything, nor should this really. As a developer I know sometimes estimates are wrong. GASP! /people look around in horror. And sometimes we don’t meet those deadlines /someone faints in the crowd. Why? Because it may simply be not ready. Which would you prefer? A finished complete and thorough tested fix? Or a bandaid that gets tossed into the build in order to meet your life threatening deadline?

There is a reason why companies are beginning to not be so “transparent” and have “open communication” with its customers….Be above this.

TLDR;
It will get done when it is ready and no sooner.

You mean like the band-aid they threw in called the DR? Yes i get what you are saying.

I work in the IT business as Project Manager for 20+ years. If i announced a deadline, i meant it and i delivered, no exceptions. It is part of being professional and respecting your customers. I don’t lie to my customers and i plan with enough buffer that i can deliver comfortably. I am not talking small projects, i mean projects that involve millions of customers and 40+ countries a month.

I highly doubt you worked in IT. Things happen in the every line of business and unless you’re willing to push things out the door with problems, not talking about unforeseen problems, then you’re a horrible employee. Companies don’t just delay things for no reason.

Patch is out.

(Some useless text to meet minimum requirements)

Still didn’t fix dungeon instancing.

So, grouping and reward is working or not?
