When we going to see Fixes?

This is one of the most prevalent things everyone is talking about. We got all these problems like:

- Beam Overload Bug
- Sniper / Weapon Bug
- 1 Shot Mobs (even on Normal)
- Insane Advanced and Elite NPCs
- Lousy Advanced and Elite Drops
- Escorts in PvP doing 1 shot kills
- "Needs of the Many" :rolleyes:
- STF Bugs (Invisible Walls around the Transwarp Gates, Console Bugs, etc)

and more.

We keep hearing these are going to be fixed, yet where are the patches?

Cryptic, this is what's angering the playerbase the most, not the "lack of content". So please fix these problems first before adding new content.

    I'm pretty sure those "lousy" drops on Advanced and Elite are intended. They've said their drop rates and loot tables are A-OK.

    So I don't think that's even on their radar to investigate. Unlike the rest of the list which is all stuff they say they are looking at right now and have as a top priority.

    Some of it, most likely, will have fixes moved to Tribble this week. As that was, I believe, the word from them. Not all of it. But some of that.

    If you use dstahl's comments about the Nomad skin ... Thursday or Friday would be the earliest you'd see any fixes to the stuff they've got a handle on.

    Was that this Thursday or Friday or the ones in the future? :rolleyes:

    You think they would make these bugs a priority, since it's what's frustrating the playerbase the most. Even fixing them one at a time in emergency patches would help ease the tension or somekind of general annoucement, not silence.

    It's Sunday right now. So this Friday is in the future?

    The comments made by dstahl were on Thursday last. About the Nomad skin. He said that if the skin had any graphic issues they wouldn't be able to put it in the C-Store until they move something over. Which is this Thursday or Friday coming up.

    What that indirectly means is that this Thursday or Friday coming up, they have a window to move something like a patch or a fix over to Holodeck. That something being any bug fixes they've got.

    They should be moving something to Tribble by Tuesday. As they've said they've got some stuff for us. Including the Memory Alpha ratio conversion. That they have promised to give us ASAP on Tribble. And want it up like Tuesday.

    So piecing all of this together ... I arrive at my estimation that if they have any working fixes to th issues they cite (and I believe they have at least one or two) ... the soonest we will see them is Thursday this week.

    2 Bugs that have to go ASAP:

    1 : Ship Scanner showing the wrong way
    2 : That the Camera after warping in shows allways to *North* and does not stay behind the Ship



    Why? because those are so obvious that everybody who will download the Demo will point and laugh at this stupid bugs.

    No good first impression.
    And the Bugs i see the most are the most annoying ones and those 2 i see in every instance, everytime i scan something...
    i dont know how they could not have seen this on Tribble... I did... and reported it... and now it's Live.

    If you'd like to report bugs or submit feedback on the game and its systems, please do so in the appropriate feedback forums.

    If we haven't already acknowledged that we're looking into a particular issue, it's very helpful if you can give us an example of how the issue occurs - For instance, "Escorts 1 shotting in PvP" would be much more helpful with an example of what powers you're hitting people with / getting hit by that are causing 1-shots.

    Of course, if you come across exploits, please report those in a more private format, such as an in-game bug report. :)

    Thats the thing, people keep reporting these various bugs and we're not getting any answers. People's frustration is through the roof.

    There needs to be an official statement to reassure the players, because they are losing confidence. Even your rivals have already done this, even before their product is even in Beta. That's significant.

    Check out DStahl's Engineering Reports. They're just under Dev Tracker in the subforum list.

    The Engineering Reports might not have everything on your list, but DStahl is being awesome and keeping people informed about what we're focusing on.

    I don't know about that. We know that Tribble stuff gets moved over on Tuesdays. And that Holodeck stuff gets moved over on Thursdays/Fridays. We've been told this.

    We were told a new patch is coming to Tribble With at the very least the Memory Alpha stuff. In the dev posts about many of the individual issues you brought up we were told that a fix is incoming. So if it's not on Tribble Tuesday, it will be in the next one or the next one.

    We know from dstahl's post about the Nomad that something is moving over this week to holodeck. Thursday or Friday.

    We have dstahl's engineering reports. We have the calendar. We have tons of dev posts.

    I don't know. I mean I knew we were getting something moved over this week. That means the info is out there.

    We do, but the same damn problems still persist, even old problems.

    The drops increase in quantity mostly - only ever so slightly in quality (this is to prevent item supply inflation - which would depreciate everything on the exchange dramatically).

    The Beam Overload Bug is being looked into (it is apparently harder to track down and one they've been trying to figure out a proper fix for since OB).

    As for tracking bugs, there's actually a lot of feedback from developers in this regard.

    Escorts, if they've maxed all their powers beforehand can 1-shot in PvP - but only if they critical. This is a bug I haven't had happen to me fortunately (as I can take on 2 KDF escorts in PvP - in a virtual stalemate until one of us crits).
    Remember, its not a bug...its a feature.

    I'm reminded of Bukowski's poem entitled "Born Into This."
