I don't care if OOO is a small company, but this has got to stop. Its total crap that they are updating the game at any kind of interval- there should be a continuous stream of update coming in such that the game just kind of flawlessly changes without us noticing... but the devs should still say that they are working, just so that we know whats up or don't we. Totally unacceptable that they do any kind of update at one time or at multiple times or at all or not at all... I demand that OOO release updates at whatever rate I am thinking of. I would also like their full agenda, including new content, old content, bug fixes, and every detail of their day including what precisely they have coded/modeled/etc. as well as lists regarding what they have recently eaten and a log of their dreams. If I do not get these things, I will be quitting for three days and then returning in a dramatic rage.
Theres too many patches! Wait no, not enough! No, too many! Wait-
Or they could just get their update right the first time so they didn't have to patch twice after it for bug-fixes.
They can just go ahead and do that now that you want them to. I don't think it's their choice to include bugs in updates.
After a hiatus of about 6 months, the huge changes are overwhelming enough (and also my fault alone due to my absence) without having to feel the body blow of random maintenance RIGHT AFTER I spent 1600 of my energy to buy my weapon slots/trinket slots/etc. I obviously would have held off on spending my energy if I had know about this update. I guess two things have not changed since I have been gone. One, there is no way to find the "schedule" for these "scheduled updates" and two, they come at all kinds of random times and seem to almost strike me when it hurts most. My pseudo narcissistic and selfish whining aside, this is a total bummer no matter how you slice it. On the sunny side of the news, the new content looks like a lot of fun and I am looking forward to giving the new stuff a try! I may even be able to try the new stuff out with my unfortunately timed slot upgrades! ;)
1) There is warning, starting at (I think) 90 mins before the update/maintenance. The game first tells you when you log in. Thereafter, the message updates and repeats periodically as the update/maintenance nears.
2) Slot timers are paused during downtime.
oh god
I think
you just won the internet
Nicely done, Fehzor, this puts things in perspective quite well
While the multiple patches could be frustrating for a single update, it was necessary. They want to keep the daily missions daily... and I can't speak for other people, but I do appreciate how quickly they fixed the bugs that popped up. While it's preferable for patches to be tested before going live, I don't think it was an option, what with the RT being invincible...
I must say, though, that while I was with the people complaining... this is definitely the best box promo OOO has shelled out. If we could get more stuff like this, where promos aren't exclusive to the wealthy or P2P, and maybe have some light shed on balancing and the infamous shard and DR patches...
FEHZOR, DID YOU SIGN MY PETITION????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You almost got me there.
Almost.
