How dare the community question the legitimacy of CG's beta testing.
CG uses in-house testers.
Last I checked, LinkedIn had CG listed as having 75-200 employees.
How many of those do you think are in-house testers? How much time do you think they spend on testing?
Let's say they have twenty in-house testers. Let's say they spend every working hour nine-to-five for two work weeks only testing C-3PO. That's 1600 man-hours. It is also an impractical assumption for testing a single character.
My guild alliance's discord has almost seven hundred members. We can match those man-hours in an afternoon. We are not unique in that regard. And no, not everyone needs C-3PO to contribute brainpower to engaging that content.
CG is not stupid or lazy or inadequate. Players outnumber devs over a thousand to one. Through weight of numbers, the playerbase's collective brainpower will break stuff. Then when the problems crop up, CG will fix it.
Yes, the videos cropped up within 24 hours. Those 24 hours were a ton of man-hours of player engagement with the new content. But even with those videos, it's not an obvious fault. After they dropped, many players tried it themselves and were able to score a couple million damage or so, which is good but not unreasonable, but were not able to reproduce the loop because actually getting that loop requires modding for an outright insane amount of potency. I can believe CG tested these sorts of combinations, and it did not create a loop in testing, because it takes a very focused setup such that even if you've been shown exactly how the loop works, you might still fail to produce it.
You're making my point for me.
Again, this isn't some obscure team composition using some obscure combination of unique abilities. This is exactly what the build was intended for. ZFinn expose mechanic has been under scrutiny before. C-3P0's kit further exploits the very mechanic that has caused issues in the past. This isn't the first time a character has cause an "unintended interaction" with the heroic sith raid.
We can't look past these types of "mistakes". Some of us spent money in order to get premium content sooner than others. Now our value is being greatly diminished because of an error that should have been easily foreseen and prevented.
