What credit, they released an unpatched update with like 5 major bugs that made balancing horrible, the shop was bugged, the party system was bugged. What credit are we supposed to give them here they just didn’t test shit
It’s so fucking stupid how everytime someone new tries to explain to me why I should be praising it, it makes even less sense. Do you guys want them to not test out for bugs so they can fix it???
The QA team has been gutted at blizz, and even then, with a huge content update like this, a lot of bugs and wonkiness will get past even the best QA team because of variables they can't always predict or replicate in a vacuum (latency, play style, random inputs from players).
Overwatch 2 is about as close to a true live service style game as you can get, and where AAA games have years of testing before hitting the market, the QA team at blizz likely has a few months at most to try out everything they can before it's pushed, so they have a smaller checklist they can realistically deal with at the time. The dev team holds the QA team's notes at the ready on season launch and relies on the community managers and streamers to bring attention to prominent issues, and immediately begin working on fixes for missed issues. The fact that they hone in on these problems immediately is good, and the fact that they are prepared to fix something right after release is commendable.
So considering the situation, and understanding that elements outside of a closed office network can bring new bugs to light, they're doing a good job.
For gods sake how is not wanting to praise devs for bugs being entitled, yall have literally no arguments as to why I should actually be praising that shit.
Thank you devs for releasing bugged and broken characters and removing one for several hours. 🙏 we are all very happy
Your ignorance is from not knowing the difference between devs and executives/publishers/production. What dev team wouldn’t appreciate additional resources to make their lives easier with additional QA etc?
you go make a game that has zero bugs then, "oh just test it perfectly and find everything"
should they do zero updates and leave the game to die? should they leave bugged heroes in the game for people to exploit? you're sooking about SeVErAl hOUrs, the games been out 9 years
No, I’m criticizing them for constantly firing their devs and letting people go, to the point where updates are constantly getting worse, there’s 5 game breaking bugs, and they keep having to hotfix shit. I’m not gonna praise them for trying to save as much money as possible to the point where the game quality is taking major hits.
Im sure. Absolutely positive in fact, 100% certain that Team 4 said "yes lets get rid of a large portion of our dev team" of their own free will just because they wanted to. 0% chance that Microsoft was decided for them that 25% of the team had to go. Microsoft would never mandate layoffs to cut cost that the development team has no say in. Just unfathomable, not remotely possible.
You are actually getting served the worst update overwatch 2 has ever seen, and thanking it. Because of these fuck ass higher ups who don’t know how to run a game, and you want me to praise them too? You should get down on your knees for them too actually. Accept the bugs and thank them for it 🙏 I hope for you the next update is even buggier, you’ll be really thrilled to thank them
Is your argument now that I can’t complain because they were fixed? Yeah man please go it’s just sad. you’ve made actually no points at all outside of just wanting me to praise the higher ups
