Just wanted to step in and ask...
When you say fix all the bugs....what bugs consist of all bugs?
Reason I ask is that I dont see 80% of all the bugs that have popped up for others. Not saying they arent there, or that its any less of a reason to fix them.
For a company and players content is needed, bugs will occur in any environment where there are thousands of different configurations, hardware setups ect.
Just like if you were to open ie or firefox and get a "server not available" message, can you call the website and demand a fix when its the modem/connection thats the cause?
But realistically, the conflicts from other programs installed, operation systems, hardware conflicts shouldnt be MA's focus....They would never get more content in and if its not something that all users experience, they have to prioritize it.
Dont get me wrong bugs are bugs...annoying and not wanted by anyone...but the vast amount of possibilities beyond the application itself, isnt something that should be expected to be fixed.
Maybe a config/settings log forum node could be made so some of the players that know about setups/hardware or programmers that use ef, could look to see if theres a link outside of EU causing the issues.
I dont mean to be a naysayer here in any way, but being that I dont experience most of the mentioned bugs, shows me that its not the application itself thats causing the bugs.
I know directx 9c was needed this vu...maybee reinstalling that or eu itself could help? Could be services running as well that are causing issues...try disabling any services that arent needed by the os to run. That and see if the system matches the requirements...the login screen has a link that would show if there is something thats not up to spec. Then theres gfx cards memory ect...you get the point.
Chances are you could probably fix
some of these bugs yourself...just a matter of figuring out what the cause is that sucks. I know its not something anyone wants to hear....but its a very realistic chance, and at least you dont have to wait for MA to say they have no idea why.
EU is about the same for me as any other online games ive played as far as bugs. Some are out there...always annoying, but finding the answer in a complex program like EU is far from easy.
Aside from all that banter.....yeah fix bugs should be a priority of course.
But if they cant forsee any quick answer, Id rather they dedicate some to the bugs while develpoment continues, since development can lead to corrections as well.
Though fixing that no loot bug is the most important thing they could do, stop all production, hire 1000 outside programmers and fix that one.
