How many people do CCP have actually testing their patches prior to deployment?

Because they need a good talking to.

Seriously there are some glaring issues that should be obvious to anyone that is at least partially sighted.

Don't take this as a rant, it isn't. I would just like to know how much effort you are putting in because at present the results are woefully lacking in 'excellence'.

EDIT: And don't ask me to discuss this in the patch feedback thread, this is about your apparent lack of QA.

I say two. Two that are doing quick tests to see if something crashes or not. Sitting on the local network in London where the server is. On special administrative accounts. On Sisi. With no load whatsoever.

But I doubt the QA process is in place. Cool

You're wearing your sunglasses inside again aren't you?

Sorry guys, I was busy working at my primary job and didn't get around to doing QA this time around.

EVE subscribers have always been CCP's beta testers and even get to pay for the "privilege" of logging into SISI and doing bughunting.

I like this patch. They finally fixed the 0.000001 FPS when locking 10 targets at once issue.

It's not "alot". It's not "allot". It's "a lot". Two words.

Congratulations. You just levelled up in real life.

Anyone who logs onto the test server beta tests all patches and fixes.


However anyone in software design knows one important truth. THERE ARE ALWAYS UNFORSEEN BUGS!

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Customers are NOT beta testers or QA.

Well, if we are, we're not getting paid for it, nor do we even have the titles to go with it :(
