I've worked as a bug fixer in a game studio. Here is what I can say. You guys seem to be very unprofessional and you hecked up the game twice already. Don't EVER put an untested change on the patch. Even trivial things can have unforseen consequences. ( OBVIOUSLY ) Always TEST your things. Don't patch trivial bug that nobody will ever notice. Be carefull. There is a need for structure for quality control with someone who says NO, "We won't fix this bug, it's too trivial" and confirmed that everything got tested over again. I understand the "volonteers" part but you guy MUST be way more professional than you currently are. You can't submit like 60 fixes that 99.99% of people won't ever notice and at the same time break the game. You just CAN'T. It's not a student project, it's a AAA games with hundred of thousand players. | ||

And the problem is that all the people that used to work on sc2 and are familiar with the code, have left /moved to another project | ||

But this is actually really big. Batteries are used to block adepts in pvp, and ling runbys and you cancel them constantly.... | ||

Our own community-Quality-Assurance team. It's not that hard but it get super tricky if blizzard put someone in charge that no one can directly talk to and that it is the blizzard person who lack competency and randomly put a melting pot of changes in the main game without even properly test everything. | ||

They obviously didn't. They made a change in one part of the code to reduce Colossus range, broke the ability to cancel shield batteries. It's the law of unintended consequences at work, not an intentional change. And yeah, you can blame incompetence or bad QA/testing, but the reality is that SC2 is 14-year old codebase and the guys whose part-time, low-priority job it is to maintain it, are not the original developers. You can either have active balancing and the occasional bug, or go legacy mode like BW, where nothing will ever change. The latter is also no guarantee stuff will never break. They are still doing things with BNet 2 for their other games, and in addition, Windows itself can break things. | ||
