StygSec ? Are you a developer, tester or chief Marketing?
You really seem to want to defend a lot Anet for their mistakes not really bearables despite the fact it is only their second game (as you say, but I would have say that the Nightfall extension count more as a standalone than an extension)…
I would say it’s very nice from you to defend them but, as you said before in your reply, there are two communities in the game, the one that want new stuff, and the other that want “reliable” stuff. I did a lot of mmorpg before, and, without talking about WoW that didn’t have the same budget, and they always tried to keep some kind of balance between them.
I think, even if we can be tolerant with the responsibles of the updates, they should, at least make a hot fix and give some kind of deadline for us to hope for a solution.
So, yes, there is a lot of different path of stories working but, if one of your tire is flat, will you just continue to drive considering that the three others will do the job for him?
Sorry for the rant again, but let’s keep focused, it’s not us the problem until then, it’s Anet blocking the fix.
Yes, I am a Tester.
Beyond that I can’t say anything else. I understand how the barebones QA works, and a majority of the game industry pathway to design, develop, and market a game.
In other MMOs there are usually two majorities of people within each and every MMO. Those who want to conquer the newest content, and just crave new content more than the average person. The other majority is the people who only want things to be fixed before new content is focused on.
While both are good groups to partake in, and follow the two wants of both player groups clash together usually leaving Developers in the MMO genre to make decisions based on what they feel the community needs.
Without going into deal too much. Arena Net’s team of QA Testers more than likely have a fix, and they’re more than likely doing their best to delay it enough so they can take the extra time to double check it, triple check it, and so on. Making sure that there is nothing else their fix messes up, or the problem won’t show up again.
While this is one bug that has upset a lot of people, and pushed people away from the game. They’ve more than likely have cases upon cases of bugs that they may need to replicate, sort, and then send out to the Developers a document that in the very essence says “Hey. This thing here is bugged. This is the method we used to get here. These things also trigger it, and this is what the current build causes later on down the road.”
Just because there is a fix that is readily to be enabled the fix more than likely got delayed and removed from the Nov. 5th patch because they found it damaged something else and would’ve caused a more severe outrage than there is currently.
While patience and time is a currency when it comes to annoyance, and I understand the root of everyone’s rage in this thread. The consistent complains and idle threats will not help the situation at all.
The very root of what I’m getting across is that everyone is at fault here.
From the players for wanting an immediate fix for the problem, to the developer’s lack of communication about the problem. Then we have the player’s expectations that they brought over to this community from another game.
There is just a huge clash of everything going on in this thread, and the high expectations of everyone partaking in it will not be met..
Hold the phone… Idea.
Has anyone attempted to do the quest co-op with someone that is also stuck on the same quest?
I would like to know if that has any solution bearing to it.
