Sentinel bug fixed in 3 hours/Pathfinder bugged 5 days later

I mean my point is in the subject line. It just shows the state of Apex and just how little they give a crap about the player experience. The Pathfinder bug dropped with the new Event and is still no...

@rickyressel This kind of thing really boils down to priorities. Yes Pathfinder bug is an issue, but it's not such a big issue that it breaks the game. You can still play it and use other legends. It will get fixed and likely added to a patch update. That has been the track record with all major game up dates, there are unexpected problems, they fix them over a week or two. Then release an update.

The Sentinel is a major problem in which it would completely break the game.

    @DarthValtrex Don't know how you can use Path when you get half of the screen blocked lol. Things like this should not happen because usually a patch is tested before being released to see if there are these kind of problems. Unfortunately, it seems like Respawn regularly forgets this part of the job.

      @Cro_Pittt I understand that point. but small scale testing in an office is completely different than large scale testing.

      When things go live you have players doing everything. Players doing things that the testers do not do. Then problems start to pop up.

      I have had it happen with basic point of sale software at my businesses. We get the server running perfectly in the back office. Bring it out onto the floor of the business and things start popping up.. We then spend the next week fixing it. Granted these days most point-of-sale systems are well oiled machines. But in the early days (when we used super DOS) it was weeks of headaches.

        @DarthValtrex  I'm sorry my dude but there is literally no fence sitting to be done with the pathfinder glitch.

        You grapple, it bugs out...it's really that simple. It shouldn't have slipped past QA yet somehow such a glaringly obvious bug did, yet again.

        Yes unexpected issues can occur, but when they're such obvious ones they should be spotted before implementation.
