Failure Developments at it again

You think they woke up yesterday and went into work thinking, "Here comes a flawless release. Maybe a little hiccup here and there, but thankfully we've checked it forwards, backwards, side to side and upside down, and there's NO WAY we'll have any major bugs like... fighter lag being extended to all NPCs when multiple players are present, decapitated CMDRs looking at their bodies after leaving the store, ships turning invisible from your SRV, engineering being rendered inoperable, engineering effects becoming invisible, modules from previously flown ships persisting on the module list of your current ship, etc."

Unless they took extraordinary measures to prevent this garbage upon the update (testing it, perhaps?), there's no way they could have had that confidence. We know the extraordinary measures weren't taken because they did release the update we've all seen, so it's a certainty that they pushed it out with the expectation that it would be a negative experience for their consumer base. We already know they don't care about this, because remember beta testing? All the bugs that were flagged and discussed openly throughout the community? And the way the updates shipped after beta, with those very same bugs crawling all over for weeks? Hell, they're still addressing the landing gear for the Mamba NOW.

At this point, any of us who care are merely screaming into the void. We complain in hopes that somebody actually listens. I KNEW when I saw FDev's response on the issue tracker that they were going to ignore fighter lag and only address the attack command spam, so I made sure to mention that the stacking instance lag is a big issue even without the command exploit. I saw several other comments mentioning the same. When they asked for questions on the live stream, I asked for them to clarify whether they've addressed fighter lag, but they took a question about whether you can buy cosmetics directly or only with arx, or some other such shill. Lo and behold, ship-launched fighters are still broken. Deep core mining in a wing has been completely broken since it was released in December. In fact, taking the broken engineering, mining, multicrew, wing UI, graphical glitches upon planetary landings, etc. into consideration it seems the entire Horizons expansion is broken. How much confidence do we have that ALL of this will be fixed?

I don't know how many of the new bugs were present in their release candidate.

As embarrassing as this update is, I don't I understand all this "I'm quitting the game forever" and "I'm not coming back until 2020" responses. Wouldn't it be easier to just quit the game for a week or two until the update is patched?

I'm not quitting forever but I'm making no secret of the fact that for the immediate future, I'll be playing ESO instead. At least ZOS tells us what they're going break.

Oh. ESO has beta tests. Guess what? Less bugs. Far, far less bugs.

Ahh, so you have Stockholm Syndrome! Well that explains a lot.

Stockholm syndrome is a condition which causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors developers during captivity updates. These alliances result from a bond formed between captor developer and captives users during intimate time together, but they are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk bugs endured by the victims.

I'd say Stockholm syndrome is more appropriate for those who constantly claim how bad, incompetent and evil FDEV is and yet they spend all day on this forum.

It is currently impossible to log into Elite using a VPN. So in case you'd prefer not to give away your IP address to whatever potentially toxic players instance with you, or in the case of people in remote regions you'd like to instance with people in a more populous region, you are currently SOL.

If it’s just a matter of finding other people or disguising your IP, a simple black hole spoof is all you need. I regularly watch BBC television here in the US with a simple spoof. No more “this program is not available in your region” for me.

sorry what? i'd like to learn how you manage to get any server to send packets to your spoofed ip, be it a tv show or an online game.

what is it what you're actually doing? you sure it is simple ip spoofing?

We'll probably actually be flying space ships before then.

The reality of this is that there's just a lot of people get off on having their complaining enabled by an update with some issues. Some people are always complaining anyway, but now it's louder and under the guise of "I just want it fixed", which is why trashing FDev is part of their posts, to help them "fix" it.

Nothing says "constructive feedback" like spewing rubbish like "Failure Developments". It's an excuse to flame away.

Wow, so you have NEVER f@#$ed up at work! Please enlighten the rest of us: how do we imperfect mortals become perfect like you?
Oh, FYI: it's "paid", not "payed"! 😃

I think some common sense and an education in the field you wish to work in, would do.

Other then that, i cant help you.

Ok lets look at this logically.

These events have all happened...
FDeV charge people a lot for the privilege of .Beta testing their product...
FDeV charge people a little for the privilege of .Beta testing their product...
FDeV charge people nothing for the privilege of .Beta testing their product...
FDeV Dont do Beta testing of their product...

Same disastrous result in all cases...have you spotted the common denominator in all this yet FDEV ?
