Patch Notes!! Really is that all?

[Guardianakh]

There simply is never enough time or resources to fix everything. There is no such thing as a game that goes live that doesn't have thousands of bugs in it when it goes live.

All games are created equal.

Good to know.

In an ideal world: yes.
In the real world: no way


There is no game, no software package that has been released bug free.

I agree some bugs are not even possible to find until you have millions of people playing in the game.
Ticket the tree at co-ords 123s 45w is in the air about 6ft
that is just an example now in the hundreds of miles of terrain etc how are they going to know that tree is misplaced till someone tells them ?
quests may be doable for 1 class but not another and with thousands of quests how are they going to find that bug without us telling them ?
Yes it does suck but if you really love a game you will do what you can to help them make a great game perfect.
I have played other MMORPG's and I mean a lot of them and not one is perfect even 20 years later some are full of bugs misplaced foliage hidden nodes under mountains etc.. it is up to us to decide if
we help or accept and even both . x

I take it the downtime has been extended?

Is there a section where it says when the game is expected to be back up please?

[Nokor]

Yes, they are always made available during the downtime. Not at the start, not at a specified time, but at some point during the downtime. Otherwise that line might read something like, "Patch notes will be available at the start of the downtime" or "Patch notes will be available at 8:30AM".

Interesting, let's examine.

Patch notes were released 41 minutes past the first deadline for the downtime.

So either you knew about the extension and thought "super, let's make fans of lotro wait and unnecessarily 41 minutes further for patch notes". Or you did not know about the extension and simply thought "super, let's make lotro fans wait". Either way that is some pretty sloppy work.

Although unforeseen acts of whatever the insurance companies call it is a certain when dealing with Turbine and updates for lotro, I think it shows a serious distrust to calculate on this failure, which apparently is Sapience's approach to public relations on the lotro forums. So thanks for at all bothering with posting 41 minutes past the original deadline for the downtime, seeing as you could have waited another 4 hours (currently), maybe more.

you are reading it right, but i thought i saw where they said around 2 est, that it would be another 30 to 45 min.

Have any dailies been added to West Rohan, or any more ways to get iron coins besides the warbands? i didn't read anything about it in the notes.
