Does no-one at PGI actually play their game and notice these things...?

what...that you are now playing the challenge on Premium time?

[BLOOD WOLF]

Taking shots at PGI only works if you get it right.............next time get it right.

[LauLiao]

I don't see the problem... am I missing something here?

[deadmedo]

you're missing a picture

All four people I asked said the gif is broken for them, too.

I think he is upset about been able to score 200 points in a day ?

Examine screenshot closely.

Really? I posted a link showing the problem yet that's what you think?

[Bulletsponge0]

this thread frightens and confuses me

[Appogee]

Here's a screenshot with annotations.



Let me know if I also need to make a 5 minute YouTube video or something.

ummmm what GIF? I see the challenge epic, but no links, no GIF, and apparently, you are more sagacious than we, as NO ONE has a clue what you are talking about.

Maybe some of you guys should apply for jobs at PGI. You clearly have the right qualifications!

Ah. Well then. THAT was so noteworthy as to merit it's own thread.
A broken GIF... wow, that is indeed gamebreaking?

NO ONE can see that broken link, huh? The one that is actually CAPTURED IN THE SCREEN SHOT?

If it happened once, then maybe. But this happens all the time. And it's indicative of two things...

1. Apparently noone at PGI has looked at the challenge screen all day. It lends weight to the perception that they don't play their own game, which in turn potentially explains lots of odd balancing decisions.

2. It's indicative of a lack of care and attention which permeates this game. From the way "Clan vs IS" balance has been deconstructed to "tweak weapon values in the Excel spreadsheet" to the way we have drill rigs that don't extend through the floor of Crimson Strait to AMS that shoots through the roof of caves.

Slap dash, grab the cash, near enough is good enough, gosh is it lunch time already?

OH NOEZ! A JPG is not working! Does the JPG in question anything? NO! But i LOVE to cry and whine and kick because of ANY reason!

[Biggest Salami]

It's broken for me too. I wonder if they were changing the image to something else?

Last night there was a working image there, I swear....

I logged in directly after the patch and it was broken then, too. I figured they'd notice and fix it. But it's been like that for about a day now.

I remember something similar happened with the last comp/challenge too. Hence this thread.

You should apply for a job at PGI. Apparently you share the same level of concern for professionalism and quality control.

Screw the broken image, it's not important. The LuRMageddon is a huge problem now. Makes the game almost unplayable. Before you comment be sure you used your brain first.

On that subject ... there are two choices, beat them or join them.

To achieve Tier 1, I joined them and TAGged and lurmed my way to victory. To achieve Tier 2, I got in a D-DC, and smashed the lurm boats to victory.

It has certainly been a "different" weekend from a battle perspective. Overall I think it's a good challenge (and yes, I posted that to tell them so, too, in their feedback thread).

Dude it's just that..............Nobody cares.

Taking shots at PGI, just for the heck of it. You are really stretching it.

Read my earlier post on how this keeps happening. It's indicative of a broader problem and mindset.

That is why I posted, not this latest specific incident.
