FC tests PC patches on Test Live. That data is ported to console and no testing is done. Every time a patch is released console gets hit hard with major bugs. Some bugs prevent players from even logging to refresh. We lose player numbers as the bugs lead to quitting or dropping to logging in to refresh only activity.
We cant even get FC to focus solely on the bugs, any fixes are buried in content patches that are untested and lead to more bugs with its addition . Add bugs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…months later hotfix corrects bugs 1, 3, 4, 5, and adds bugs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The next hotfix for 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 fixes all but 8, 9, and adds bugs 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and causes bug 3 to reappear…this is the pattern we accept and allow by complacency.
I think it is time for FC to address this practice and make positive changes to the way they approach the console patches, and how FC effects its own community.
How do you feel about it?
