Originally by: Ashis This was just such an insiteful, well constructed, and applicable post I had to comment.
No you didn't. You could have ignored and moved on, commenting on the other constructive posts made to this thread. Why was that so hard?

It probably would have been the wiser choice - the forums are getting to me. Admittedly that was just the last of a number of equally insightful posts - and since it was the last one, I didn't have to scroll up as far to hit the "Quote" button. Laziness ftw.
That, and my blood is really boiling over another EvE issue seemingly unrelated to the patch (here) which is equally related to the underlying issue of quality assurance. __________

You won't hear any arguments from me on these issues. QA is vitally important in games as complicated as this, and it's entirely obvious by the issues that have popped up recently that there is room for improvement.
But there's nothing to be gained for responding to the idiocy that hits the forums. EVE's not immune to it, and the more popular the game gets the more of this you'll see. Keep it constructive, and the folks in a position to do something will listen.

I agree with the original poster.
The RMR patch was on the Test server for about two-three weeks, and players themselves didn't even get a chance to try out any of the new ships types. Surely the idea of testing is to see if the mechanics of the game work, and if they work on a multitude of different PCs and playing styles. No wonder the Carriers have a million and one bugs, nobody but the Dev team got to fly them.
It smacks of a desperate attempt to get the patch out before the holiday season kicked in. Bad idea. Of course you don't want to get bogged down in development hell, but as any Software Engineer will tell you Maintenance is the most costly part of any software life-cycle, both in time and money. Releasing something rife with bugs and inconsistencies simply makes the entire task of running EVE even harder. Rather than concentrating on what you want to do with the game, you end up answering a million calls of help.
It's a good job that the pilots of EVE are self-sufficient and refuse to be spoon fed, otherwise this patch could have been a lot worse. Next time make sure you spend the time you need to get the job done, and make sure that the players actually get to 'Test' things on Test. The only testing anyone got to do was see how quickly one of the new ships could blow them up.

RMR definetly doesn't win the "CCPs least buggie patch" award, that's for sure. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

Originally by: Gonada did you pay for the expansion/patch whatever you want to call it?
Yes, he pays his monthly fee
Quote: are these bugs worse than any other mmorpg expansion release bugs?
No, but that doesnt excuse them? In no other industry than gaming do companies get away with their product being only usable 50% of the time (re:lag). If you bought a car then found out you could only use it properly between 1000-1100 and 1200-1700 each day, and the rest of the time the steering was locked up, would you defend the company that sold you the car?
Quote: no to both counts, therefore all your whining is invalidated, use proper bug report channels to get its soved, useless whining on boards is just that, useless.
If there was no word filter, I'd have a lot more to say to you. As it is, you're just an idiot.

has a larger IQ than you do.
The Op makes valid points. You make none.

Edited by: Serilla on 24/01/2006 19:54:42 RMR patch was NO DIFFRENT THAN ANY CCP PATCH.
They have ALWAYS been bugged, missing content and sometimes funny stuff that is just laughable.
since Castor, ppl have been complaining that all patches are broken and and half arsed. BEFORE castor we were all complaining because there was hardly any patches..
Things will never change. *edit* acctually prefer bugged patches to no patches IMO *edit*

The main thing that bugs me (excuse the pun)is I remember the big deal ccp made about starting it's QA department. Now let's be honest since they hired them the patches with maybe the exception of the cold war patch have got worse I mean the fact they waited nearly a year before they even hired a QA team always amazed me.

I just love the way people gravitate to the negatives and not once mention all the positive stuff that has been added with this expansion.
