I am very wary of big patches after the MOAP and Combat Update, which broke some things that still haven’t been fixed, like wells and AI. I can definitely understand that the majority of coders are working diligently on bug fixes, but it’s hard to see any of those fixes from what’s on Testlive.
Funcom is working very much to the tune of what is taught in Business Management courses, with the goal of keeping all employees busy without layoffs. For this I applaud them, especially with the flack they’ve taken here. But we really do need more bug fixes, so I would like to suggest that the animators and artists work on more character creation options and idle animations while the coders work on an AI Overhaul for NPC’s.
