To be fair, they release this stuff on PTR, but nobody uses it.

I honestly don't know how the people at Blizzard aren't super embarrassed every time a tournament stalls because of Internet problems when they could be using LAN. Or when they release a patch and there's a whole lot of bugs. Or when they release Diablo 3 and it doesn't work.

And if they are embarrassed about these problems, why the heck aren't they trying their hardest to fix these? And if they are, then it's a shame that a top-notch company is so inept.

Blizzard patches are actually buckshots. Patches are then applied (excruciatingly slowly) to correct the mess, while the players suffer. Blizzard's in a very cozy position as far as business goes, with a very strong playerbase of people who will buy HotS and LotV no matter what.

I'm usually driven by my principles, but I don't think I'll be able to keep myself from buying HotS even though now I loathe Blizzard for SC2 (which I can't get myself to like) and for D3, which is just a bad game. This patch just piles on.

I wouldn't care if it were any other company. I've never been a fan of anyone else. The suck is just more striking when it comes from a company which once was so great.

37. From Blizzard's thread: We appear to be using our paying customers as beta testers.
This is not a bug, it's a dodgy business strategy.

PTR or not, Blizzard can't expect their customers to test the product for them.

You know why this didn't affect other games in the past? because if a patch was buggy, people could just not patch in tournaments and use LAN.


lol.

here is their response to the mod question, here is blizz's response. seems reasonable to me.

yeah the custom game bugs are pretty crazy, but i wonder if those bugs existed in the arcade beta. the main point of that beta was to avoid clusterfucks like this and i didn't see anyone complaining about patching bugs while the beta was still up.



actually alot of these bugs were reported in the arcade beta, example the old ladder builds of sc2 in the custom game scene. Blizzard just did not give a fuck to read it and released the patch anyway. I blame the incompetent PR members they have that cant relay proper information to the devs to fix the most critical issues posted on forums such as these /blizzard forums.

I have a pretty popular custom map, and they have completely raped it of all its existence and right now its resting in a graveyard because it cannot be played.


Blizzard is just not the same blizzard they were back then. New blizzard, new policy's. As far as i can tell, they look like they want out actually. There are reports of blizzard company going on sale . They know and can see a downward trend is happening with their games.Its only a matter of time till they hit rock bottom unless they seriously remember why they got where they are in the first place.

The people talking about "Activision ruined our Blizzard" are either clueless or have selective memories. Blizzard patches in all games have been riddled with hidden bugs that are fixed after the fact. The larger the scale of the patch, the more bugs that you'll have. Also, why would "Activision greed" have anything to do with the quality of free content? The fact that it exists in the first place seems to be evidence to the contrary.

Take this patch for what it is. It's a patch to prep the game engine for HotS. The Arcade feature is a part of it, but the bulk of this is to get the rendering engine in place for the new effects that will be used in HotS. Considering the scale of that, I'm not shocked that there are a lot of bugs.

I want you to picture Mike Morhaime. Now I want you to picture giving him 70 bucks. Now I want you picture him spending it on something incredibly dumb, such as a latte. If you buy HotS you have just bought Mike Morhaime a 70 dollar latte. Please don't buy a game you don't even like so that you can support awful human beings....

You're attacking a man personally, because he is indirectly responsible for releasing a buggy patch for a game that you apparently play/played enough to be a member of a community centered around it. Anyone else find this hilariously stupid?


EDIT: To be clear, I don't care about your choice of purchase. That's your deal and we all decide what we're willing to accept in a product. But "awful human beings"? Come on...

Pretty common stuff back when i played diablo 3. patch 10 hours for something really small, make 500 new bugs and the cycle goes on. I guess sc2 was infected with this syndrome as well

Oh my god you don't know what you're talking about please stop lol. Do you even know what Morhaime said that pissed everyone off? I am just giving an example of one of the human beings whose living you support if you keep buying Blizzard games. If you like Blizzard games then it doesn't matter, but obv the guy I responded to does not so it's not like his money is going to a good cause or something, it's going to a bunch of fat cats.
