A suggestion on bug fixing

Saryad · 08-07-2009, 02:45 AM

Dear NGD,
I just picked this idea from another thread(thanks kyro)
Would it not be a good idea, to take a week of from developing new features and trying to fix the big problem such as movement and balance.
And to spend a week, looking through forums and bug reports and finding the small problems.
Misspelled names, armor that is not designated for the correct class. And things of this nature.
I think that it would appease the wrath of some players at having reported seemingly small issues and not seen them fixed because you were
busy with the bigger picture.
I suggest it might be an idea to take a look at the "smaller picture" and spend some time and a dedicated update on fixing the small problems.
Just a suggestion.

work on the basics first then the bigger whole? would certainly clear a lot of the annoyances that plague regnum

Balance is hardly something that could be delt with in a week I dont think :P

But things like, quests sending you to places that mobs/NPC's have been moved from [err/]error_[err] stuff, Items not working correctly, scaled vesper plate being for warrior not archer, etc would be great, its little errors like these that make the game look amature and newbies leave.

Yes, i completely agree, a solid foundation builds the best structure, and its the little things that matter. Fixing some of the more obvious and easy to correct errors would go a long way to making the game more playable. As they have said in a previous post, they were planning on having the previous update be one of the last (for a while) for large changes to the game, so who knows, maybe they are doing just that.

Others games like guild wars do balancing round almost every month. It's really interesting, they "try" to correct things all the time, and not only by removing abilities. You can find here a log and descriptions of this months update in GW<, it's really interesting to see a diffrent skill update policy.

EDIT: I've been starting a list of "known" bugs here.
