BW is not great with these... not the first time an exploit like this goes live. Not the last time either.

Posted 7/26/2012 11:49:46 AMThat's what I meant. They patch something and a new issue goes live unnoticed, so they have to do unscheduled maintenances, resulting in frustrated player base and decreasing trust.

Posted 7/26/2012 1:51:41 PMYes, and that is because BW/SWTOR's programmers f*ed up the code.
Period.

Posted 7/26/2012 2:26:10 PMI just wish they can at least fix the mandatory things, which shouldn't be screwed up with any patch and do something about their horrible engine. i7 2,0GHz, 8 GB RAM, GF555M here, and still stuttering. :S

Posted 7/26/2012 3:10:26 PMI just gave up on expecting Hero Engine's performance improvements... I dont think they can do anything beyond offer the "Really Sh!t Low Shadders" option on that matter...

Posted 7/26/2012 10:08:23 AMNot to brag or something, but these patches patching wrong patches are getting annoying. I still think this is the best MMO to date, but what are the test servers and scheduled maintenances for if not to fix/solve/get rid of issues?

Posted 7/26/2012 10:15:43 AMUnfortunately, It's near impossible to catch every glitch in a game this size. Especially with the test servers still underutilized. This kind of stuff happens in pretty much every major online game I've played.

Posted 7/26/2012 10:44:11 AMThis is a huge application, the resources required to regression test everything would be retarded and not really realistic. Large applications have things slip through the cracks all the time, too bad, but that's the way it goes.

Posted 7/26/2012 10:58:27 AMEven MMOs with millions upon millions of subscribers have to patch patches.
As for the test server, there isn't one as of right now and, even when there is, it's not really used that much.
