Subject: Clarification on the Cooldown Bug |
| |
Here's where it stands as of tonight, folks.
What is it?
There is a bug in 1.5 that adds ranged weapon speed to the cooldown of Multi-Shot, Arcane Shot and Aimed Shot.
This is a bug that will, unfortunately, go live with the 1.5 patch as it stands. It is currently slated to be fixed in 1.6.
Why can't it be fixed before it hits live realms?
I completely sympathize with you on this subject and understand that you never want this bug to see the light of day. I agree with you. However, this patch has already been delayed quite a bit and we cannot delay it any further; there are several other bug fixes that need to go live as soon as possible, and there are international concerns as well. If we delayed patches every time a bug was found, they would never be released.
Can't it be fixed before 1.6?
1.6 is probably not three months away like some of you seem to believe, but it is still a ways off. There is a possibility, however, that this might be fixed before that.
I have taken your feedback on the issue to the development staff tonight, pleading your case. I've explained that this is a PvP feature patch and this bug can potentially be devastating to Hunters in a PvP fight. I am, basically, pleading your case before the court. I will do everything in my power to see if I can get this fixed in either a hotfix, or failing that, an emergency patch like 1.5.1. I can make no promises, but I am using everything in my arsenal for you.

I know you're very incensed about this, but I ask that you keep the flames down. I'm doing all I can to get this fixed as soon as feasibly possible.[ post edited by Caydiem ]

You want results, not apologies. Well, it takes time to get results. I cannot march into the homes of the developers, drag them bodily into work, and glare at them balefully over a loaded crossbow as they work into the wee hours of the night to fix this at all costs. For one, the sleep deprivation would probably make the issue worse. :P
You know as well as I do how you react to news such as this. Believe me when I say that nothing would please me more than to come in here and post that it was fixed without posting this thread. However, instead of sitting on the issue until it's fixed (because such fixes do take time) I am instead communicating with you on the subject, knowing full well the reception it would bring.
If it comes to a choice between communicating with you on something that's broken or waiting til it's fixed before I say anything, I'd rather communicate with you, no matter the reaction it engenders.

Q u o t e:
The only address I could find was;
Blizzard Human Resources
Attn: Jack Sterling
Quality Assurance Assistant Manager
P.O. Box 18979
Irvine, CA 92623
Please post your polite thoughts snail mail.
That is the application address for the Quality Assurance Assistant Manager position, not the address to contact a QA Assistant Manager... just FYI. Mailing with that precise configuration will reach our recruitment folks, not the people you want to reach.
