    Usually i don't get riled up about bugs and complain here. But this instance, I feel our outrage and demand for compensation is warranted.
    I dunno about other servers, but in Tegan when we are trying to do full moon event, we get the path from the trader, group up with friends so far so good.
    But, when we reach Varholm, lo and behold there is a group bug due to which though our team members are on map, they aren't displayed in group. What's more, their kills aren't counting as my kills in the event bar and they aren't even dropping scat if I am not the one dealing the killing blow, even for Vargulf.
    I can't remember how much frags we spent trying to fix the group, it just won't work.

    We demand compensation. Now.

    This game is full of bug, it's a real shame with all the money collected, they are not even able to correct anything, a real team incompetent.
    A message to the developer BP returned to take programming courses, you have great need

    We're all really annoyed. If they want to take the time and take glamour shots for their Twitch events, they need to take the time to put a Developer on the microphone for the next Twitch stream. I don't want to listen to anyone on Twitch other than a game developer. I want to hear about their challenges with denial of service attacks. I want to hear about the QA defects they are working such as average tickets per day and average ticket age. I want to hear about that way before I see more pictures of costumed Product Managers. Get your Team Leads on the Twitch and say, 'hey, we acknowledge the following bugs that are severity-1.'. If you can't do that, please stop Twittering, FB-ing, and streaming. It isn't serving any purpose other than agitating the masses.

    Staying constructive:
    1. Re-evaluate all of your communication channels and decide what message are you trying to project to your user base. Twitch is an epic fail. The format of that venue needs to have a component always dedicated to QA and Defects. Keep it stat based. We can handle 5 minutes of statistics for product quality. It is that important. Then you can play dress up and run a dungeon incompetently.
    2. Redo your Test server instance to represent the production build intended 10 days in advance at all times. Don't do willy nilly spot testing on Test. Make it an actual staging server for all content you intend to push to production.
    3. If the group bug is that insurmountable, simply make access to Moon events and other events free until you sort out your technical problems.

    Treganna, the twitch they do isn't very good. In fact they take an hour or so in every twitch whereas the same job can be done in 20 mins and much better.
    We need a them to take some of the players in their suggestion teams and to interact with other people. We all know Greg and Dracaty don't play DSO, EDIT take some serious players in the team.

    Well , i really dont complain on anything in this game anymore. This is how DSO works. But guys, lets just say , wth , tell me why , how , u could bug group only in Moon event? I mean its a thing we all do every month , whose fingers touched the game codes to make groups bugged in a well working event? (till now). That was really a disaster.

    Devs can't possibly be bothered with fixing bugs, they're too busy with development of the loot compare abomination. And they have their hands full with all the remaking of perfectly working maps. And they are kind of tied up with design of new idle animations. See what I did there? 8)

    They probably came with the idea of making new idle animation when they realized they were practically idle for a whole year! I would like to apply for a DEV job at BP.
     
  8. Make use of the Search function before starting yet another thread to do with the grouping "bug". Cheers.
