LOL... Vimes needs a link.. TH said he was working with Vimes to get this fixed.
Hey Vimes - is TH full of it?
No, he is not full of it. Most of our discussion on the topic has been through PMs and on the Correpsondent forum.
But he doesn't let me know every post he makes....and when I went to the test center forum, there were a lot of posts by thunderheart. The guy is active!
The good news is he acknowledged that there is a food bug. The bad news is he said that we were too busy ranting and we didn't give any detailed information on the bug itself. Personally, I find this incomprehensible, as did multiple other posters on the board who laid into him.
Nonetheless, we finally got a 'red letter' name to acknowledge the problem.
I told you it would work. Now you just have to cross your fingers and hope they fix it right.
In his thread, TH responds to the food problems with"Unfortunatley, people have been venting without specific examples" or something like that. This is mildly (read: very) infuriating.
*vent*
There are at least2-3 good long threads on this board that detail the bug, and have specific examples with numbers. Did he miss these? Did he read them and come to the conclusion that they weren't detailed enough? There is an example posted on the TC bug report as well, was that noted?
I also trust that SirVimes gave him all relevent information, did TH ask for more info? I just don't understand why that reason would be given when I feel we have laid out good information.
*vent off*
There are three posabiltys.
One he is an idiot and does know what hes talking about.
Two he is just blaintly lieing to us.
Three the devs are lieing to him. (probably the most likely actualy)
Because as we all know.
One this is a very simple problem.
Twothis is a verybig problem.
Three this its not a high priortry or it would have been fixed by now.
SirVimes --- I, too, am curious as to how 'intertwined' this bug is with other portions of the game's mechanics...
I am not a designer (as I am surethe majority of players are not as well) and simply cannot comprehend that a simple math equation given known variables and a timer can be such a headache to hotfix.
Especially when the Devs could simply go back and look atgamecode from when it used to work (I entered Chef after this bug appeared but it is my understanding there was a time when it worked).
Strange.
