9.5 hours after the event started and you're just now responding to this? How does anyone in that office even have a job? This is one of the most incompetent Dev teams I've ever seen in my life.
it launches at midnight local time for the dev's office. Call me old fashioned, but I don't think anyone should have to be working at midnight unless they are working a position that is a 24/7 critical operations center or something.
Yeah, but there is no need to launch at their midnight. Just launch it when working hours begin and be ready to fix it.
Its not the first time, that this went horrible.
Just remember first time Geonosis, with the added bonus, they went in holiday after the broken launch
It should be tested, so they can launch with confidence. They keep on launching buggy stuff with no testing
Why even comment with such a braindead take? Who cares when an event starts. This is just a case of lazy quality control. The event never should have started in the state that it's in right now. But yeah, let's be "old-fashioned" and just ignore the issue.
Oh you're right about quality control. I won't argue about that.
However, Late night releases or changes for time-syncing over multiple time zones is an industry practice dating back many decades. When I was a software engineer, we pushed all our code to production at 4am in the event there was a bug. That way the early birds would discover it, and not the 500,000 people we had online during the day.
I think waiting 9 hours until people wake up is a relatively sane thing to do. It's a game, not the NWS National Hurricane Center or a nuclear power plant.
You do know they only got into their office like 1.5 hours ago, logged in to see the issue that everyone's complaining about double check it's real, (yes they have to do that) , then write up the "appropriate" approved response to the situation.
I'll all for giving CG flak and ridicule for things they mess up like broken Datacrons and the immortal Grievous twice in a row. But you still have to expect them to have a life outside if work, and be allowed to sleep.
Simple testing would have easily prevented this. This is lazy quality control. The event never should have started in a bugged state as it is now. It's clearly obvious the morons on this dev team don't test anything
Yes we're all aware they only got into the office, but is it too much to ask a multi million dollar business to actually have a QA team to do their job before putting events live. I'm a QA and that's what we have internal sand box testing for.
Completely appreciate that. I would however question who came up with the brain dead idea to launch events when nobody is in the office?!?!
Because no video game developer operates 24x7. They'll respond to the issues when they get into the office in the morning. I'm sure the devs were well aware before Meathead's post because the issue is all over social media including these forums, Reddit, Discord, and Facebook.
