Solid boobies at the beginning of the thread, then he starts going into to whack-a-mole mode when "Jerry's Kids" start jumping him. Even uses the term Fanbois, wont end well.

Guess his Crane-Foo needs more work.

My god, that is so wise... I'm going to write that down, you're really something special.

And that is why I almost never read the MB. Good ******* god how bloody stupid can those disgusting dickheads get?

In their own mind it's perfectly normal that devs don't fix the bugs cause that is way it has to be. Iron Clan 's mom must be really proud of her "special" kid.

Anyone who thinks Lama is a test server is naive.  The fact that occasionally people report bugs that they find on Lama and that those bugs then get fixed before a roll-out is just a happy coincidence.

@AllBorkedup
Im not buying warlock. Already made my mind since it was announced and now im more sure than ever. The real problem is that Turbine is ripping off customers who want to hold their completionist feat.

@BigPeanuts
Agreed. I already wrote once that Lammania is a PREVIEW server but let's be honest about one thing. If you as a company release some new content as preview and it's completely bugged you're not really giving a good impression of yourself (Flav also pointed this I recall)



All in all I feel like this update is kinda of a blackmail with ransom included:

You want your completionist feat back? Pay the new shitty class broken as it is.

I do wonder how many accounts have completionist, though. It seems like pushing out crap and counting on the completionists to keep it afloat is a risky model. Didn't Super Producer Glib or whatever his name was say there were like 3 of them left? Or was that some other rare accomplishment? Whatever, there can't be many left at this point, and they aren't selling it for $500, so they are going to need broad appeal to make a ROI.

I think Lama is a test server for my builds. Would be a pain to test all the ideas I have on life.
(I thought it was more back when I tried to report all the bugs I came across but I stopped it when the bugreport bugged out)

I'm not either, and I know the 4 RL friends who have logged on in the past year aren't buying it as well. The pevailing sentiment is why spend money on a game that buggy, wait for them to get things under control first.

Some bugs, sure, but I'm talking about the ones that interfere with normal play.

Stacks of bottled tornados? OK, that was cool, and I've got hundreds in reserve in case that bug comes back, they make playing fun. Having to dismiss and re-summon my dog AGAIN to make him pull a lever, not so much so.

Think they'll try that on the space programs?

It sounds very glib, and I'm sure it is appropriate in some industries under some circumstances (where the risks are low and theoretical testing is not effective).  Mining is an industry that tends to do it.  You can spend 12 months doing bench testing and theoretical modelling, but sometimes it's quicker to isolate an area and try something different and assess how it worked.
Some do, some don't.

In software development, it is not a prudent approach.
Once you lose a customer due to dissatisfaction, it is hard to get them back.
To the bean counters and shiny pants, it would sound great - faster development times, "free" beta testing and less accountability (everyone else is doing it).  But shit product really does make you look unprofessional.  It all comes down to Turdbine's belief in customer retention is short so therefore quality doesn't matter as they will leave anyway.  Self-fulfilling behaviour.

Most reasonable people are tolerant and a few non game breaking glitches like string table errors are going to get thru - but most devs who take pride in their work swing back and fix most of the known bugs in the first hotfix.  The devs I know hate the idea that their work has errors or is substandard.
I guess the Turdbine employees mostly don't GAF or aren't allowed to GAF by their leader.
Turdbine just seem to pick and choose what suits them to fix when they like, with no weight given to the impact on players/customers.

Well there were over 50 Warlocks yesterday on Orion about 1 hour after the launch . Logged onto today and there are about 30-40 and starting to see a lot more mains that made the transition now rather then just an alt tester. Even have a Guild called Warlocks Inc...

Looks like its a success if this is mirrored on other servers. I would imagine that most have already had the TP saved up by favor like myself but never know some might have actually purchased it.

I belong to a fairly active guild on my server and I actually have a more difficult time thinking of a guildie who doesn't have completionist.

Meursault wrote on Jun 19^th, 2015 at 7:58pm:


There been quite the grumbling about Warlocks too. We all now joke around about the thing that keep us playing and almost unanimously it's each other and not the game content/updates. It's only a matter to time before one of us snaps due to the many incompetent design decisions made by Turbine. Then the whole guild will come down like a house of cards. My gut tells me there are quite a few smaller guild out there that are the same.
