Any software developer who has their name on a checkin for this steaming pile should be ashamed of themselves.
You claim to be Agile, yet you ignore every point of being an "agile" team.
You fail at basic bug testing.
You fail at basic coding.
Please, stop adding new features for a patch, and devote a full patch to nothing but bug fixes and fine-tuning. ZERO NEW FEATURES. Or quit the company. Ethically, those are your two choices as Software Engineers.

What worries me is how they're doing their development as of late..
When the PI changes were announced, there were dev teams who *did not know* about it. They were :amazed: etc..which sounds fun, but would scare the **** out of me as a Software Engineer. It's not like the offshoot teams are developing stand-alone products, or stand-alone plugins. Everyone is playing in the same code sandbox..and you have teams making radical changes to the code and not communicating. Then they wonder why this team **** all over server performance..
It's enough to almost volunteer for a year and go in with a "best practices" bat to their procedures.
Maybe they knew all along and it was just for the benefit of the dev blog to seem edgy..i hope that's the case. But i think it isn't..and i think i should buy a copy of the Mythical Man Month for every CCP Dev. CCP, How many copies should i buy, and where should i mail them to make sure they can be distributed to every single developer? |

Worries
Oh, and Zero Dev responses.
After a major release, even though i'm moving onto the next one, i am *desperately* trying to gather as much feedback as quickly as possible about my release..and talking with my customers.
I think Anon on kugu nailed the head on this one:
"Go batting!
You're not the only one who is fearing for the future. This stuff started to get real noticeable in Dominion, but it might have started earlier. My bet is that the WoD development has drained CCP of their most competent staff, and they're stuck with a green team."

More Concern
By the way, not joking on getting MMM to you guys if you all are really a green team inheriting a codebase. PM me or send me an in-game mail or somesuch.

Maybe you were too busy thinking up another classless music video. Again, this harkens back to professionalism.
The Music video would be classy *if* CCP was kicking ass and taking names in their development. Since they aren't, it's become a mocking point.
*IF* CCP kicks it up a notch..stops acting like a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears developers and actually kicks ass and takes names..*then* the playerbase wouldn't be a bunch of increasingly bitter and vocal people.
Patch comes, patch is deployed, lag is *not* fixed. No update, no word, nothing.
What happened CCP? Did you fire all your devs and now have a bunch of 30k a year developers? You guys were rocking all the way up until Dominion...you *do* realize this right? Apoc actually fixed the lag..1000v1000 was possible, 300v300 was nightly.
I'm planning on securing my Mothership..then i'm unsubbing my accounts until lag gets fixed or CCP puts out a 'top-to-bottom' 'for the software-engineers out there' blog.
You guys have ****ed up somewhere, and this patch reaks of hubris.
