Would of been way smarter and logical if they waited for just a couple of more weeks or even less to finish strong. While they mess up, we suffer...

They have test where players are basically working for them to make the game better. Even with that, they still keep making mistakes by not fixing the bugs and doing their job. Don't get me wrong, I love this update and i think this is the best addition to the game yet but disappointing the way POTCO staff works on it.
You have to give big D some credit though. They did quite a good job with this, and these small fixes are nothing compared to waiting months while the update is still being tested. Kudos to Big D on this update. We can all stand a 2 hour fix to make this update better.

I am not saying Disney's strategy is the best, but this update is a lot better than previous updates. Just be patient.

Oh i give them a lot of credit for the content. It's well above my expectations and it does look like it will be expanded on the future.

But perhaps you didn't quiet understand me. I have previously stated that if the game were to shut down for a full week i would be okay with it and I wouldn't ask for a refund for the lost week as long as they worked out a good amount of issues and the game performance was improved. Patience is not my problem with this. I also think this should of stayed on test longer for better fixing so again I don't have a problem with waiting. My problem is with the mistakes that keep repeating. If this were to stay and get fixed up on test until at least no more known issues were there, then it would of been less of a pain for the developers and the players on live. So my point is, they need to let the content mature then release it where in the end, it's more likely to have a happy ending.

It only proves that Disney doesn't listen to the bug reports us hardcore testers send in and address the issues before it hits the live game.

They could careless about us, no kidding.

That leads me to believe this game is just a marketing strategy to keep the movies and the idea alive for cash gain for the moment.

Live is different from Test. More players, different issues, etc. You can't expect a new update to come out without having bugs. They'll all probably be fixed shortly. Good things come to those who wait.

You quoted me on a post where i said i have no problem with waiting or patience as long as the job is done. You also mentioned the differences of live and test but i said finish the job on test completely to have less problems on live. Clearly, so far most of the issues were pretty much known on test. So it would of been smart to let it wait on test longer and finish the job there first.

The funny thing about all this is that I've sent numerous e-mails to member services and through the Test bug report page, clearly stating that they shouldn't be rushing these updates out before patching most of the bugs it contained AND make it a "grind" not a "days worth" of content.

Did they listen to my many e-mails/reports?

Guess not, because this glitch still works:



=/

Do they care about us anymore?

Nope.

Are we trying and dedicated to locating these bugs and telling them to fix them before it hits live?

Yes.

Do they write letters and post them on the website for communication between playerbase and developers?

Not anymore. They don't get paid for that now.

I'll admit, I made a slight mistake there. I would edit that out but it would complicate things. I understand that patience is not the issue here, but think of an update released on live - or in any game for that matter - that didn't have plenty of bugs. Even if the test update was bug-free (and it sounded like it was very close), there would still be bugs found.

All the bugs on live will be ironed out eventually. Ready for the next batch of bugs with the next update.

I can't teleport to Abassa for some reason.

Already got a teleport error message:

"Couldn't teleport to the destination" or something similar like that.

more bugs to be found after...

EDIT 1:

Couldn't teleport to a War Brig public ship even though there was only 7 people aboard it...
