Test / Bugs

[warchild]

<DIV>With the amount of bugs that come to the live server each update i was wondering.. Do the players on test read the notes and test the new change's or are they just on test to playing the game like normal servers? just seems like alot of bugs getting to live servers that should have been tested by alot of test players. Everyone knew the new carpenter recipes was going in live update #10, but out of the 35 or so new recipes 10 or 12 was broken and wouldnt even work, and didnt even have the right icon beside them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Soooo, the question is are people on the test server testing stuff full time or just everyday playing like other servers?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>just seems something is not working right here, or a major lack of comutications /shrug</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>We report a lot of things.  SOE doesn't always fix them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You'd be astounded at the bugs that are on Test all the time, that we strive to understand, so we can tell them what to fix.  If you created a character on Test, you'd be astounded how many major bugs we put up with, daily.  It's a fairly small percentage that gets through.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I could say more but this argument's been made a thousand times.  You think more bugs should get found and reported?  Then come create a character on Test and report them yourself.  The rest of us are doing the best we can.</DIV>

<P><BR><SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>Thanks EtoilePB.</FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff> I kinda figured soe wasnt fixing all the bugs reported. sometimes it just seens hard to beleave so many bugs hit the live servers. the carpenter bugs in live update #10 stand out like a sore thum. I was not pointing fingers at anyone at on the test server. i was just asking how so many bugs get to live servers. Everyone knew that around 35 new carpenter recipes was going in live update #10. ( this has been known for close to 2 weeks) If i was on the dev team i would have ask my team if all the carpenter recipes has been tested yet. If no then i would have ask someone to test them before they went live. it just seems simple to me.</FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>This week we are adding 35 carpenter recipes, fixing 4 spells, fixing 6 quest, and fixing 4 epic raids, so we need to make sure we test 49 things before we send this patch to the live servers.</FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>well sounds simple anyways.</FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>oh and thanks for your useless post to <SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>Evadne</FONT>    </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P> <P>Message Edited by warchild on <SPAN class=date_text>05-28-2005</SPAN><SPAN class=time_text>09:11 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by warchild on <span class=date_text>05-28-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:11 AM</span>

Of course if you have read the other threads on this board, you would understand it is not that simple.  The addition of new things sometimes breaks old things.  This last update (9 btw) had frogloks and the quest was bugged. That became the priority and so although other bugs were reported some of them slipped through the cracks. And Evadne had a good point. This question has been asked AND answered many times on this forum.  We can only explain it so many times and in so many ways before we start to resent the accusations being implied. <div></div>
