    World of Patchcraft!

    What's going on this past couple of weeks? This is at least 3 mini-patches in less than 10 days, along with maybe a dozen restarts.

    New patch. Problems. Nothing more to it.

    Major content patch went live, lots of problems being found, so they are being fixed. Nothing out of the norm.

    First time seeing a new patch in WoW?

    I've seen a lot worse.

    Guys, things break.

    If you think that is bad, watch the start of this -

    Tiny, tiny price to pay to fix bugs and such. Nobody's perfect, at least they attempt to correct the mistakes that snuck past them.

    They keep tweaking and keeping an eye on the game, more-so than they have in the past.

    It's nice to see.

    Complaining about fixing the game? People always find something to complain about...

    My theory is they have been debugging Ra'den on the fly.

    Omg blizzard are so lazy. they dont do anything. Not a patch in months. buhu.

    Omg. blizzard release patches ALL the time. Buhu.

    Is it a bad thing they fix shit that doesnt work ? I rather have 2 patches a day then a annoying bug. Like in swtor where it took about 3 months to fix broken skills on the trooper

    Tiny price ? I don't see any price. These patches take about 15 seconds to download on the launcher.

    I love how someone inquires into the reason for an abnormal patch rate and all the rabid little fanboys jump down his throat immediately.

    Agreed 100%. I remember when bugs would go for MONTHS without being hotfixed. Some new technology and 90 seconds extra to log in and BAM, issues being solved every day. So nice to see them pro-actively keeping the bugs in check.

    Explain why fixing problems is 'abnormal'?

    Or should they just leave them so people with nothing better to do can make "X has been broken for ages" threads instead?

    Are you serious? This is a continue development game. We DON'T have any kind of offline servers or constant restarts.. most of the restarts happen while you are sleeping. To be honest, I'm glad it works this way, makes the game much better in the long way.

    only annoying thing is that poor tmorph needs to get updated every god damn time >.<

    When they create new code for game content there is always the chance that another code is going to smash face first into a pre-existing code and there is going to be a problem. Not everything can be caught in PTR as 1 million players using the content is entirely different than 10 million players. In DC universe they had a content update where a tall character wielding a recently added shield weapon would get stuck in the doorways of a pyramid base. It was never tested in that way so how could they know it would cause an error?

    We are talking about a game with 8+ years of content, finding every possible potential code error in a near infinite loop of code is impossible, the best thing you can do is fix each problem quickly as it arises.
