That remains to be seen. Based on the track record of all the patches released so far, there’s no guarantee this one will fix anything or not cause new issues.
It’s a pretty good bet that since she did say that she literally bug tested the game, that she reported bugs…it is, after all, part of the bug testing process; to actually report the bugs. It doesn’t make sense not to report bugs if you care about the game and the OP clearly does or she’d have not bothered to make a post.
But for a fact, the PC always gets the patch first.
- Because of the OP systems.
- Because of cert process.
As well, the hot fix released for consoles, was just that, something that was only console operating system related (from the porting process i am guessing.)
When i see patches/hot fixes, i read the first line. Funcom has been very reliable when it points out hot fix only.
Her post comes across as consoles are causing the issues, and Funcom should focus on PC’s first and only update console once PC is running to her standards. I am sure they have numbers that say to treat all as equally as possible Player base, dlc buys per, etc. all business. If there were not very many console players, i am sure over time they would abandon us. And it would make sense.
So today’s patch has been pushed back another day as expected . . .
I’ll check back here tomorrow when I guess I’ll read that it has been pushed back another day

Yeah, the bugs…it’s like trying to get rid of a bad cockroach infestation.
I’d agree with you about it being an individual’s PC if it wasn’t so widespread across different builds as has been illustrated in other posts. Some of the fixes have worked well on some and not so well on others and I’ve read that it could be anything from low end to high end computers and different OS’s. I’ve read about a lot of people being good to go and a lot where problems remain and new ones rear their head. I don’t know, I’m no programmer and the whole thing makes little to no sense to me as to why certain people are adversely affected and others aren’t. I’ve never seen anything like it in almost 20 years of online gaming, but it is what it is.
Interesting point of view. I read it a bit differently and didn’t see it that way.
Maybe they should get rid of the worst bugs (no EXP for building from my point of view for example), make a small patch in December and only then they should “improve” the game (from their point of view).

I will just have to state my satisfaction with what’s going on, since (with a few minor exceptions), Funcom are doing things in a much better way these days.
That is: they’re focusing on bug fixes / optimization over blingy new features, and they’re letting things cook in TestLive until ready for Live release. Both of those are things I (and many others) have asked for repeatedly, and I am quite happy that they’re doing it. It would then be profoundly rude to complain about the inevitable delays this is causing.
The main thing I would like to see that still hasn’t manifested is smaller, more focused patches - rather than these all-in-one monster patches. But I have a feeling that this is due to how the project is organized: it might not be practical to do so. Also, the mega patches do have the advantage that there’s a higher chance of being “something for everyone” in there, getting a larger part of the community excited for them. So I can’t even say that my preference would be objectively better anyway.

Flying rhino’s. first time I saw that happen it was a glorious surreal sight as the rhino launched into the air and landed in a tree. First time I harvested a rhino by climbing up a tree to get it hehehehehe

Do you mean to say Rhinos don’t grow on trees in your country?

They may not grow in trees, but they make some killer grub!
I have a pretty big base, densely packed with storage crates on official server.
I’m glad they are taking their time making the patch as stable as possible, lest we get the wedge tile incident again.
If I’m not mistaken I see a few bare spots in which you could pack more chests…

Someone correct me if i’m wrong… I am planning some play time into my weekend and realized today is Wednesday and they wont release a patch on Friday due to the weekend so if a patch isn’t out tomorrow am I right in thinking it wont be out before Monday?
I wouldn’t plan around it at all, this patch has been delayed so many times, it’s not funny.
What server is this, is it PVP? 
True I suppose…LOL oh well give it another month and try again I suppose.
