Trust issues

So another event canceled - http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1216281/switching-2x-professions-to-2x-enchants-runes-5-12


this time 1hour into it

I don't know or care if no one tested how it works with the siege profession or master-working or whatever the 'exploit' was - that should have been tested out before the event - not wait 1h, notice exploit (thanks to conscious player notification) and then simply remove it.


Yea i know it's just a game - but the firm behind it is a service provider selling a service - and this was another slap in the face.


This issue should have been noticed before the event got live, it's a 1-2 logic to test - new profession event - test it how it works with profession
new pet - test it how it works vs mobs and with bondings (latest 2 exploits) new mounts - test their insignia bonuses (latest 2 worthless additions to lockboxes)

It isn't always easy to find an exploit unless you actually accomplish it. Game testing won't find them because they are only making sure a mechanic works the way it is supposed to. That is why players discover exploits. The problem isn't the exploit existing. It is the a-hole who takes advantage of it until someone else discovers it.

making sure a mechanic works the way its supposed to?? Umm hello a crowd control companion stunning non stunnable mobs is an easy thing to detect even on internal servers. blah blah stuns x mob, y mob . Yea that is preventable. que system where is the exploit there?? what they say its set up for 1 tank, 1 healer and 3 dps.. group member leaves and it throws anyone into party? that.. that is again complete lack of testing and to lazy to care because that is an easy test on internal server as well. Hey class mechanic does this... use of act shows it is effective in this manner.... OHh wait HAMSTER 6 months of testing on the mod and 9 months after that class is released lets sweep change the whole class?? again that is something that can be tested on internal servers. Point lazy or plain just do not care. I can give credit where credit is do... but damn if you are gonna get me to accept or even support poor judgement and lack of foresight. My god man that is what they get paid to freaking do. Hell we pay them to do it is the worst part.

If it were just 1 mistake, maybe. But this isn't the first time is it? The lack of proper QA when you have a huge company called PWE behind you is disturbing. I replied pretty..annoyed in that thread. Now, I'm unsure why I even bothered or care. Nothing is gonna change. QA is not being done and I see no reason it will be in the future.

@magenubbie cryptic has a really big QA department that they not even paying...The players on PC.

I think this went much better than with other exploits. Usually these run until the next scheduled maintenance.

The severity of the bugs that are released are incredible. Releasing insignia bonuses that don't work? That means they literally didn't play the game even ONCE to test them
