Bug Fixes or New Content?

Well, Perfect World has been packed with new content over the last 7-9 months. Very few bugs have actually been fixed. Eatwithspoons once stated to me that after the TB expansion was released, bugs would be fixed... Eatwithspoons is no longer part of PWE's community. So I have a question. What would you all rather have in the next patch? How about the next 10 patches?

Personally for me - Bug fixes. Why? There are over 100 (Yep, over one-hundred) bugs in PWI at this current moment. New content is added weekly, and thus even more bugs are released weekly.

What do you all as the community - as the people who make Perfect World what it is today, what do you want?

    New packs of course.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Finish T.Born's.
    Fix any and all bugs. (Trust me, I know at least 50 of the 100 mentioned here....they **** me off...ALOT)


    After ALL BUGS ARE FIXED AND T.BORN'S ARE UP AND RUNNING, THEN THINK ABOUT RELEASING NEW CONTENT.

    Bug fixes.

    New content is nice and good but eventually you'll either overload with too much or **** off the playerbase that knows over half the bugs/glitches and is tied of having them around.

    Obviously bug fixs for all the new content that they shoved at us, as well as the older bugs that have always been here.

    No game will ever truly be bug free. While it would be nice if they just stopped developing new content and focused solely on fixing bugs, ultimately it's just not going to happen. For one thing, they're a publicly traded company and have their stockholders to think of. For another, I'm sure they have entirely different teams dedicated to new content and bug fixes. What are they going to do, fire all of their development staff until their programmers have fixed all of their bugs?

    I'm sorry to kind of "flame" this post, but no bugs are currently being fixed.. At all. If these "Programmers" are different from the "Development staff", then the programmers have been put on leave or a hiatus, as in the last 20 patches the only bugs that have been fixed are text-related, and extremely minor bugs. Also I realize the game can't be bug free. I for one just want to see bugs being fixed, as there are bugs in PWI that have been present since PWI opened in beta.

    Also, I wish they would add the rest of the TB expansion as well as you all do ;). In my opinion, PWE's management team shouldn't of put out the TB expansion until it was completely done. It would be like me doing a 6 page paper for College, and only turning in 3 pages and saying to the instructor - I'll give ya the last 3 pages in a bit.

    New content for 100+ please.

    All that low level bug stuff can be largely ignored. Buy some hyperxp or oracles and move past it you nubs! lolol

    Rofl. Being lvl 100, I totally undertand the lack of content for 100+. Personally, I'd rather take bug fixes over any content that could be added. Someday new content for 100+ YES! But for me, the bugs totally outweigh the potential new content. Even hyper exp has a pretty well known and large bug being "worked on and informing the devs in China", The very thing you just posted about lol.

    Which bugs affect your gameplay greatly?

    The list is too large to compile. Here's just a few:
    -Rubberbanding
    -Bugged Graphics for certain mounts/plants (Graphics card, but fixable for PWI's team)
    -1k RB Bug
    -MQ fail quest bug (If dc and squad up improperally etc etc)
    -Hyper EXP only usable once a day bug
    -FF wrong exp list bug (The exp is gotten, but printed incorrectly)
    -Chat window not able to scroll when in squad
    -Monkey smilies/emote has no Cigarette, while other emotes do (Originally had, then dissapered)
    -Alt+Tab creates error box/not able to get in game force shutdown
    -90+ chain quest that came from Wraith's Ploy "can" glitch at a certain part, and the user is unable to progress or trash quest
    -Some fash says for male, but actually for only female
    -Text issue in Character Info (Overlapping text)
    -Some mats spawn in areas not accessible (Inside actual logs and various objects)
    -TB Characters have graphical issues with body VS head and overall look
    -Unable to go in Widescreen as map doesn't fit
    -Pressing "Tab" and using a AoE or attacking that "Invisible mob" causes the boss to not spawn
    -Previewing Fashion, and moving your character left/right causes a graphical glitch
    -Going underwater in certain areas makes your character naked
    -FB59 Last boss glitches on tab 20-40% of the time (Yes, still unfixed folks)
    -Squad members not being buffed when entering squad, even though they are (Doesn't show up in squad list)
    -Squad members invisible after leaving instance and going back (Logging out or actually leaving and coming back)
    -Squad members showing up as BM's even though they are a different class
    -Dying in TT by the "hands" when not actually inside the hands on your screen, but in the hands on someone else's screen
    -Shooting back up when dropping down on WQ, and staying in mid-air
    -Faction members offline, but showing that they are online in the faction
    -DCing, but character is still in-game for 5-10 minutes before being booted by the server
    -Cleric buff bug (2 buffs aren't able to rebuff with the others, and must be reapplied after they are gone)
    -Duke is turned off and quite (Yes, I know "It's being worked on")
    -Bugged mobs in FB59 unwined cause mobs to run up walls and reset (Aggro/HP/Position of mob resets)
    -MQ quest when you gotta kill mobs 'till the spider spawns, then kill that... Turning this is 50% of the time the NPC disappears, and the user has to run out of range of where the NPC should be and run back, making the NPC visible
    -Cube entrance PK enabled bug
    -Cube rooms not coming forward (Must relog to fix bug)
    -When embracing someone and opening packs/doing quests, the quest doesn't advance, thus player must relog
    -When first logging in, the welcome screen starts in Chinese and quickly shifts into English
    -Weird server lag that I notice when I pull a boss in TT causing me to use Alpha male to ensure I grab it before someone dies. Checked w/ many people and tried on 2 different computers w/ different net in different parts on my state... Same issue. No ping problems either I checked :P
    -TPing out of specific instances in specific areas, causing player to end up in a "secret room"
    -Skill bars don't have numbers corresponding to the keys (1, 2; F1, F2 etc etc)
    -After large patches, when entering PWI servers don't respond, requiring a restart of the computer
    -Cleric IH issue w/ IH starting on cleric
    -Unable to turn audio completely off in PWI (Less of a bug, more of something that should imo be fixed)
    -GForce 9500 GT Issues (Crashes PWI and various other issues w/ this card)
    -Avatar issues in the forums (Not being updated for days after player lvls)
    -Under specific areas of water character goes bald (i.e FB59 waterfall)
    -When in squad, mini-map often lags showing a player is in a specific location, and upon reaching that location, the mini-map updates within' 1-2 minutes

    All I can think of atm. If I were to sit here for an hour or two, I could very easily compile a list of 100+ bugs/glitches. At one point or another, each one of these bugs/glitches effect me.

    There are bugs that have been in this game for over a year, pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

    I guess you didn't quite understand what I asked you.

    Half that list is really BS for one reason or another, some of them are not even caused by the client or server, most of them do not affect anything that you would actually do. A few of them are being so nitpicky it's ridiculous. Don't make me go through the list and categorize them. >.>

    Lets try this again.... Which bugs actually affects YOUR gameplay?

    -Shooting back up when dropping down on WQ, and staying in mid-air
    That happens not only during WQ (although that's when it's noticed most). It's hella annoying imo, but easily 'fixed' by taking one or two steps.
    -Cleric buff bug (2 buffs aren't able to rebuff with the others, and must be reapplied after they are gone)
    Fix this pleassssse!! It's so friggen annoying! b:angry
    -Skill bars don't have numbers corresponding to the keys (1, 2; F1, F2 etc etc)
    I was told that that isn't a bug, it is actually done intentionally because people can assign just about any key to those. Read here.
    -Avatar issues in the forums (Not being updated for days after player lvls)
    Yeah... I haven't been 76 since days ago... b:sad
    -When in squad, mini-map often lags showing a player is in a specific location, and upon reaching that location, the mini-map updates within' 1-2 minutes
    Yush, very very annoying, especially when I'm trying to find someone to res them. This also applies to the main map btw. It takes a while to update.
    All I can think of atm.
    One other that I can think of is the issue with book 22/23 on WQ. The chat displays that book 23 is obtained, but the find quest window actually shows book 22 and autopathing takes you to the Yin Yang Master. The find quest window is right, the chat displays the wrong book. This can be rather annoying for females that WQ together with a male character in embrace, because relying on your system message, you'd tell him to go to the wrong book. b:chuckle

    Don't forget the stupid Rising Tide hairglitch. One day I had pretty curls, the next day I looked like some scary housewife with a pink bandana and a crown. >_>

    Doesn't really affect the gameplay, but it's just disturbing.

    Never heard of that. I don't autopath WQ... I have all the locations memorized... because, once upon a time, there was no autopathing or real quest finder. Now it's about maximizing which teleport paths are the cheapest to which books and when would be the best time to use the guild teleport. lol

    That actually wasn't a glitch. That was an intentional change so PW could charge for hairstyles. I was affected by it too, and I'd agree, it was most disturbing and quite humiliating.. my long hair tunred into short hair with a gold cup/crown on my head. I immediately got a makeover scroll and sent in a ticket... and got reimbursed my makeover scroll. I almost ragequit. lol

    No game will ever truly be bug free

    I design simple 2D games now and then. I take the extra time to ensure that there are no bugs or glitches. Why can't the PWI devs do this? Why can't they take the extra time to check that everything works as it should BEFORE releasing it to the public, as I do with my own games? I can answer that in three words....

    They don't care.
