Patch Two Comments

[xcomvic]

Sadly, I am at work now reading all the new things (from release notes and lore) and of course I haven't been able to try it out yet. So I wondering if you all would be able to comment on the new patch? The good and the bad in your own personal opinions. Thanks.

It gave someone I saw the max breast size, messed everyone’s hair up, made it so you don’t get XP if you run into water during a fight, made all of the titles in the “target” window absolutely weird and wrong – I personally killed two barrels and a kami welcomer according to that window. I can’t tell what’s different about the town, except maybe the signs behind some of the shopkeepers.

Long story short, I don’t know what benefit it did, but it sure did mess everything up real well.

Oh and I got a lovely warning message when I logged in that said “If you value your characters, don’t try any missions tonight” – or something like that.

The Wrong text in target box MADE IT TO LIVE???!!! Ugh, what USE is the ATS if they won't listen to us when we make reports on bugs.

There was a note about this made with the release notes for the patch. The devs were unable to replicate the problem, hence why it was difficult for them to "fix" it.

Pretty easy to replicate, just target something. I've been blown up by foraging explosions from sources such as barrier_2 and Dang Kai-Lui

I'm waiting on 2 MORE patches before I comment on "patch 2".

Yes and we TOLD them exactly how to reproduce the bug...create ANY character, get them to mainland...Target ANY non NPC and La Viola...bug reproduced. I found it JUST that hard to do it.

ANY race, ANY region. I hadn't found the NPC's misnamed...nor did I find ANY of the names over the heads of the mobs/npc's misnamed.

BUT I just saw a WILDLY misnamed Karavan guardian in Trykerlands. This means this bug was BIGGER than they thought it was, and the ATS testers KNEW about it, told them about it and told them how to reproduce it and they STILL let it hit release.

Honestly this makes me wonder what the ATS is all about anyway. If my testing is for nothing...why test at all? *sighs*

@being able to replicate: they are not talking about being able to replicate it at all, they mean reliably in a way that you can say "i do x, then y, then z, then target w and bam, wrong name"
atm it's like "i target w and wrong name, then i target 10 other ws and the name's correct, then i target the next w and the name is wrong again"
and simply put, the above information makes it impossible to actually find the cause, they need to be able to reproduce it with a 100% chance of the bug happening and need to know all the steps that lead to that 100%, otherwise they can't fix it, since they do not know where to begin their search
