    Too late, gotta wait like 13 hours now until they are back in the office, get coffee and figure out how to relaunch it.

    I'd feel better if the PVE's weren't wrong in numerous ways AND the new character didn't have completely borked up numbers.

    Like I dunno, I want to believe but show me some more progress than this.

    I want to be bored when events appear predictably on time, not waiting for hours for Aussies to come in and fix bugs and misclicks and errors.

    The interest is in building new teams and trying them out not seeing if and when events will be available to play.

    Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. I'm f#@ing sick of interesting times. Gimme predictability in my silly match 3.

    Sir, I start to share your annoyance with the current situation, and looking at my regular point of view in these matters, this means a lot

    @TheMigz puppy protection is over, show us what you guys got!

    For whatever it's worth, I also agree. You folks deserve normalcy.

    We are taking the event down and it will restart at 12pm UTC (in approx 12 hours 10 mins from now).

    Well, the grace period didn’t last all that long…
    Does this mean it’s gloves off and time to start hating on the new dev team now?
    @Chrynos1989 Do you tend to know everything about a new job within a month or two of starting?
    I certainly don’t.
    I get that it’s been a number of months of disruption now, and that it’s frustrating that what used to be a stable game is so buggy and unpredictable now.
    I’m frustrated too, but just think, where will making demands of the devs and being unreasonable get us?
    The most likely outcome is they’ll stop checking the forums and engaging with us as much, in order to limit the exposure to our vitriol. That’s where my money is at, for what happened with BCS and comms.

    I don’t suppose for a minute they’re content to be constantly making buggy releases and having to implement hot fixes. I have faith things will improve, it’s just not going to be a quick fix. Let’s not get all ‘rabble, rabble’ just yet.

    It's only been a month. It's also worth remembering that the game they took over was in a...less than ideal...state.

    Yelling at them or being demanding will have the same result it has with every other dev team -- they'll just stop coming here.

    A fair point of view, but this back-to-level-1 bug is happening for I think the 4th time, one would assume this one should be exterminated by now

    Although I admit, no one knows the eldritch abomination of code BCS left behind…

    I am not threatening anything. I am hoping there is a way for the devs to weed out some of the recurring issues.

    I have every right to feel frustrated while acknowledging it may be hard to fix things. I did express that. What I ultimately do is my choice to make.

    From my perspective the fact that things can often be fixed within a few hours or so of the devs being made aware of them is curious. Not to cast blame or assign any intent….it just makes me wonder if there is anything different that can be done, like put events up even sooner so we can see them like 1.5 days before they start, and we can identify issues and hopefully things can be fixed if needed before it starts.

    If a QA environment check would help I am sure players would be willing to review upcoming events if that was allowed. Many were beta testers but maybe that wouldn’t work well for different reasons.

    Perhaps the easiest thing to do for now would be to put events up sooner in a prejoin state - if the game supports that -so we could see at least some potential issues with time to fix them.

    Oh yeah those were great times with all the game freezing so that you couldn't even finish a match quite often let alone a PvE...
