Test server notes 2/24/2009

[Edward Edgemenace]

Well, if they follow the pattern they did with Port Royal, they are probably preparing to release this tonight. Super bad move, IMHO. Again, I don't know what glitches they think they fixed by preventing valid teleports...no glitch I tested today was fixed.

I really wish there were better guidelines on what (and how) to report. Using the in-game feedback seems like a black hole. Using the HTML feedback page has me getting more potco-support spam than Maximvs. And all of their spam is nonsense...they don't include what I reported in their spam, so I have no idea which of the dozens of things reported that way, they botched.

Blisteringly stupid, that they flat-out reject reports that don't have log files (BS - I ALWAYS attach the log files and a screenie or two) even though their follow-on feedback page where you enter the description, makes me hunt them down manually. And the log files themselves are irrelevant to almost all glitch reports, anyhow. Nice that they then turn around and spam me with random "issue tracking numbers" with no description - no way to tie back reports by date when there are multiple reports every day...and who knows how long it was in their queue. My estimate is that they are about 7 days behind now...maybe? Sometimes?

Be even nicer, if the tracking numbers meant something...like, a public list of issues they currently are tracking. Well, I guess that still would do no good without a description. But it would be a baby-step in the right direction, maybe.
