I need to get back to my quests...

Stephen O'Malley 02-12-2011 10:25 PM

Thanks for the info, weather3472.

Personally, I don't mind them doing maintenance, since I understand that it is just to better the game - the only thing I don't like is how they chose the weekend to do it.. Then again, I don't know if this was intentional or not.

The Stealthy Pirate 02-12-2011 10:27 PM

I dont think it was intentional... if it was they wouldn't have done it on the weekends...

Are you a programmer?? You understand this rather well!!
No, I'm not a programmer. But I am learning. And trust me, there's a lot of work involved in programming a game this size. A LOT of work. I can only program tiny things, such as text popping up on-screen, but even that has at least 5 lines of coding.

Thanks for the post,
and I've gotta agree with the post above me also, programing is beyond hard. I, once again am learning bits and pieces as well (see guild thread :P)
Anyway, this is for the better, so lets all just chill and go find other things to do...:piratewheelgo2:

Some glitches we like dont like to go so thats biter-sweet in a way. Plus they could be prepping for the release.

no i meant if you owned one that you created. If you don't then you shouldn't have any reason to be bashing them.

Aye, but we are the people paying hard earned money for a product they have offered. We the consumers, reserve the right to critique. And we also have the right to be upset if what we are paying for is not functional. And my point was to the fact that the reason Blizzard is so successful is that they allocate a proper portion of the game players investments to make sure that they do not have problems such as this.

I was very shocked when Disney did not want to release the info at first about server removal. HELLO! WE MAKE SURE YOU GET PAY CHECKS! I wonder if they are going head first on the disconnection issues.

The game has been overly lagged and glitchy since the last update, about a week or two? Yesterday I caught a glimpse of Infamy while logging in. My guess is all the codes have been percolating and the developers wanted to surprise us going live on a weekend. Surely they thought all was well and were as disappointed as we when all their work wound up a gooey mess. I knew today there were quests I would lose as they reset as soon as I turned them in. What are you gonna do? Play WoW? I don't have the patience to sit through the intro.

Dorothy taps foot impatiently. :pirate5:

Ofury/ Tom 02-13-2011 03:40 AM

Ofury/ Tom 02-13-2011 03:48 AM

I would seriously doubt that - test was closed for over a week! The testers didn't get any time to well... test things!

And I just got on open... I left potions at lv.18 last night, and now it is at lv.13. I am very annoyed right now.

EDIT: And open is closed again... Whee....

Blizzard is a Game company ONLY where Disney is a multi billion dollar company having games, TV channel, shows, Walt Disney picture, etc. Out of all of these, pirates online with any other game are the least profitable for them so they do not "care" as much. Blizzard is 24/7 on game editing and production. This gives wow the advantage over pirates but its not smart to compare Disney with Blizzard as Disney could buy blizzard if they wanted
