-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You think the people working on these updates want to stay at work til midnight? Nope. But we want to iron out as many bumps as we can before we ship. Sometimes this requires us to put in some extra effort and time. Seriously... I've seen the Warframe staff putting out hotfixes at 1:30AM (EST), after patches are released. I'm pretty sure no other developer does this sort of thing.

Brahmastra Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Fridays were even worse! :s Warframe build sez: "Oh, something snuck into the build and into the update you released Friday night? Welp, you didn't wanna do anything this weekend anyway right?" No fridays were awesome.. At least we could abuse all the bugs over the weekend..

But we want to iron out as many bumps as we can before we ship. Sometimes this requires us to put in some extra effort and time. Heed the words of the magic Sea Rhino. It's a bit of a pain to have to wait till Midnight at times, but they have legitimate reasons for doing so. All we can do is be patient young Tenno.

RejectionOfFate Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Seriously... I've seen the Warframe staff putting out hotfixes at 1:30AM (EST), after patches are released. I'm pretty sure no other developer does this sort of thing. Mostly because no other developer cares as much about their community. The update times may be annoying to wait for, but as Commander Karp has said, it is even worse having to work on them before you can head to sleep.

ZeroPhobic Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Seriously... I've seen the Warframe staff putting out hotfixes at 1:30AM (EST), after patches are released. I'm pretty sure no other developer does this sort of thing. They all do it, DE just doesn't plan it as well. Most other updates hit in the early AM hours, so if there is major work that needs to be done the companies have all day to do it and can go home in the PM.

Yaerion Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) they are releasing it late because they are not prepared. ... Becaauuuuuuuse... It took longer than i calculated. Keep posting, Tenno... Edited March 5, 2014 by Yaer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnakeMGS4 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just announce the updates and nobody has to wait... don´t make a secret out of everything, just tell IF melee 2.0 or Prime Access or whatever is going live today and things are easy going. The only thing nobody can tell me is that it is actually unknown at this point of time what´s going to be released today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBones Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Or you know... release the update when it's ready. Whatever seems more realistic. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuroraSonicBoom Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I want DE to release updates whenever it is convenient for ME because I am their most important player. Feeling major #$&(% chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing nobody can tell me is that it is actually unknown at this point of time what´s going to be released today. I agree. Transparency would make the wait a lot more palatable. The sort of coy prodding with which we are treated in the run-up to updates can grow quite irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFoot Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) DE, you do whatever you need to do to make these weekly updates into quality pieces. OP, patience, my young padawan. The force script works in mysterious ways. Edited March 5, 2014 by TonyFoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiithe Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 How about random updates, no notification of what they are or when we will get them. Seriously tho, looking forward to any update regardless of when it arrives, thanks DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDark1105 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You think the people working on these updates want to stay at work til midnight? Nope. But we want to iron out as many bumps as we can before we ship. Sometimes this requires us to put in some extra effort and time. As a guy who's workplace puts me in situations exactly like this (working to midnight or later), know that I completely understand and this complaint is quite ridiculous in my honest opinion.

The game was crash happy and unplayable for nearly 4 hours. DE does not want to repeat that mistake. I much rather wait for a more functional update than update into an unplayable and potentionally game breaking state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megakruemel Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just realized canada is 5 hours behind my time zone. Are you talking about Canada-midnight or central-european-midnight? Welp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the most professional thing, to communicate inter-office politics/procedures to the bouncing retards of the internet forums. There are more than enough apologists out there to defend DE, without employees having to dignify these threads with their presence. Just sayin.
