Dear FD when you plan to patch BETA on live server?

Oh, and OP got banned. Let's see if Frontier go Full Gaijin (the software "development" company) and start banning people for submitting bug reports!

(That was a joke, and I hope it stays that way.)

Is this a new forum rule - draw explicit attention to sarcasm?

Great idea!

Sorry, Great idea!*

It was a joke...

Seriously though, FD should put more care into fixing these bugs -I don't think they realise how much irritation they cause. They can't be that hard to fix.
 
It comes down to priority inversion, and I've seen it from just about every major software company. Too much effort spent on NEW SHINY THINGS, comparatively nil effort spent on fixing bugs that have been there for ages.

Elite would be a solid title all on its own, as it exists, right now, if the long standing bugs were fixed. I mean without adding a single new feature.

Of course they know what's wrong- there's the ack'ed bug reports. But why would you rather wait weeks for a summary patch instead of each bug getting addressed as it's fixed? As someone else mentioned, some bugs might not affect every player so waiting for a cumulative patch is not making much sense. Unless there's code reasons which I have no insight into. But one would assume that passenger mission bugs are not related to say the SRV issues.

Cause firehosing usually ends up with breaking more than it's fixing...

Also, OP got banned?? For what? If he has opened 12 threads about the same topic in the last 5 minutes I can understand, but really? Fair enough, he could've skipped the tone, but the first response from moderator wasn't exactly what to expect from a person to uphold civil order on the forums. A simple answer with a link to a statement from FD with all the bugs they are aware of *oh wait* [rolleyes]

Deleted posts don't show in the history, you also don't know if he send some PMs... You don't get banned easily on this forum.

What's really depressing is that this situation is only ever going to get worse as they steamroll ahead adding increased complexity over the top of long standing and newer bugs.

All the while treating their playerbase like mushrooms.

Ah well, time for me to toddle off again until the next patch /facepalm
 
As the title says..... getting bit bored to play this " bug buster" build you have realised to the live server.

So please be so kind and give use estimated time when you finely release normal build of 2.2 instead of this Beta build wich actually never been supposed released in this condition to live server and make from you paid customers are frustrated beta testers.

Tnx in advance for your response!

probably in 6 months, that's how long it took to fix heat weapons.

Sorry, but the word "    " comes to mind...
 
2 weeks has been passed since 2.2.01 build release, bug's are crawling all over the place, maybe it's the time to drop the bomb.
 
H Ian,

while I'd chose different wording than OP, here's an initial list of bugs I guess we could do with fixing. 'They are going to be addressed' is not the point- you asked for a specific list.

uh, im not game developer but i do know programming and how it usually works, but...

i think that words "hotfix" started being used for patches that were needed pretty fast because of game breaking bugs (aka not being able to play with wingmate because game freezes, 2.2 feature and many more)

leaving players like this for weeks not being able to do conflict zones together, especially for people who participate in powerplay wings is very gamebreaking, frustrating and makes player quit the game..

and following patch that takes a bit more time to fix all other moderate and minor bugs that doesnt obstruct in way of letting player play his game...

im starting to think sometimes that developers at Fdev dont have much idea what are they doing and are pretty green, no offense just constructive criticism


P.S. amount of whiteknights in this thread is ridiculous
