Solomon Darkfury.3729 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) I HATE to be that guy... but I'm honestly baffled. As I recall for HoT, PoF, and EoD ( not sure about SoTO) at least, bug fixes took place on expansion weekend... I'm all for having weekends off, but is there no tech support team there on Expansion weekend?! Homesteads, a MAJOR part of the expansion is almost broken (aside from a massively time consuming work around that only partially works) for the opening weekend of the expansion. Just seems an odd choice to me... Edited August 26 by Solomon Darkfury.3729 Misspelling 4 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobleboivin.4102 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I've honeslty never seen an expan so buggy like this one. Really surprised they dont put out more bug fixes unless there's something really wrong on their end. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree, especially as we started the expac with a long list from the Devs about things not working - but I expect some fixes on Tuesday, which usually is ANet's patch day. What I find a bit annoying is the fact, that with many events/achievements I don't really know what is broken (or if the game mechanic is just rubbish). Why can't I cook food in Harvest Den? Nothing happens when I burn "rotten crops" in the garden. Is Hide and Seek supposed to work in a certain order? Why do I have zero cheers in the arena ... and that is just the Kodan settlement and things that I wrote down without thinking about bugs to much. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen.2907 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Does tech support actually fix bugs in software? My company's tech support does a run through of a user's issue to determine whether or not it is an issue with an immediate fix, as many user errors do, or find a workaround. They escalate the matter if it is an actual bug in the software that requires coding to be done to effect a permanent fix to faulty coding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly was mistaken on EoD and was unsure on SoTO. Again, I reiterate... they added a MAJOR feature in this expansion... essentially a new game mode. HoT added a major feature in gliding. PoF added a major feature in mounts. Bug fix team worked those weekends... To not have bug fixes for a major feature on launch weekend is mind boggling.

Mithral.8516 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I for one am totally okay with tolerating a few bugs over the weekend. The game is still enjoyable, and it's easy enough to just wait on the bugged stuff to be fixed and come back to those events, collections, and features in a few days. Props to ANet for allowing their employees the weekend off, work-life balance is important, and it's one of the major reasons they changed their release model. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronospere.8143 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Well the game hasnt crashed right? Because thats why some previous releases had updates in or after the weekend. People couldnt even enter new maps or progress the story. For me.. this is the smoothest release so far. Few small bugs, but none that break the game for me. Im sure most will get fixed.
