This 5.0.5 Patch apparently got released in Asian (Korean exclusive) Server first.
Isn’t Patches updated from US foremost then to EU then to other servers?
Why is the order swapped?
Is it possible that Blizzard decided to offshore Starcraft 2 development to oversea branches?
First time I’m hearing this, I take it this is a very rare occasion.
With how little was in this patch, combined with how long it’s been since the last patch, combined with some of the bigger issues that need to be addressed… I’m not convinced there’s going to be timely bug fixing anymore. I understand that development is over, but leaving larger issues behind for extended periods of time has me worried that it’s just short of abandonment.
Sometimes that happens when another region’s patch is ready for deployment before the America’s patch. It’s happened here and there over the years (don’t ask me which, I’ll never be able to remember).
While I share your frustration, do keep in mind that apparently their entire dev team quit. It takes time for new devs to ramp up on an existing system, especially without any experienced hands to steer them right. I wouldn’t necessarily assume that the present glacial pace of bug fixes is going to persist.
I just hope they haven’t decided to outsource SC2 maintenance.
Report it enough times in the Bugs Forum and they will notice and bring it up to the maintenance team.
Old reports get lost and they don’t notice them, so unless you make reports in the bug forums recently, they don’t notice it.
For instance Alarak Mothership bug was mentioned countless times but never fixed.
I and someone else reported it again both here and in the bugs forums with details, recently at the time and surprisingly it got fixed.
Reporting with as much detail as possible for the bug helps a lot.
I fear that this problem wouldn’t be solved so easily. It’s not just the problem which the devs fail to notice, it’s also that there are almost no staff in SC2 Co-op department.
We already made alert of so many bugs and errors but they are still there, and Blizzard cut down so many staffs.
I am very dissapointed. There are so many bugs in coop mentioned all over the forum. This isn’t even a content to pay for. I wish they paid attention to bugs much more.
