Thread: Ko Elite Pets were messed up in the hotfix
So how many of you play on test center?
It amazes me that so many people complain about bugs getting thru testing yet no one wants to test for those bugs???
Small suggestion. If the future of your profession (any profession btw) is important to you make an extra char and play on test when there is new patch being tested. Would save you alot of grief and surprise when they push it live. Will also give you the chance to discover things like this before it goes live and possibly help them avoid it.
My 2 cents worth...

This would be such a valid point if these weren't BUGS THAT WERE KNOWN & REPORTED ON TEST CENTER AND DIRECTLY REPORTED BY THE CORRESPONDENT ...
Quit blaming the customer, the problem is not FINDING the bugs, it's having professional QA standards for reviewing the fixes.

I'm glad to hear it's not intentional.
But I must ask again, why does it appear that there is no QA in these patches?
With the limited size of storage of pets not sure everyone on test that is a Master CH would have one of each pet. This mistake I can see being made by mistake. The letting the level 1(0) and health 10 thing go live that is a totally different story.

While you have a point that more people would be better served by spending some time on test center, no paying customer should be obligated to do so. I must also point out that the people complaining the hot fix should have been better tested conflicts with the the people demanding it immediately yesterday. In this case though, the original bug was caught on TC and not adressed in time, so warning others to spend more time on TC is sort of a moot point here.

Can developers say "Ack!"?
I shall await this fix most eagerly.
Ack is a technical term I'm pretty sure! Not being a technical person, I don't know what it means.

I'm impressed. ![]()
This doesn't excuse the major bug going live and it doesn't excuse the animal class oversight but I appreciate that a developer actually takes time to view our issues and respond to them.
Thank you.

I'm glad to hear it wasn't an intentional nerf, but this is what happens when you release patches weeks before they are really ready to go out the door. Please tell your bosses the community would like the patch releasesslowed down and more thouroughly tested so this type of thingdoesn't continue happening.
