Do you expect them to test every variant on every patch? That seems like a huge waste of manpower to me, considering how many there are.

Question is.. how did this happen? Nothing in the patch notes mentions any kid of changes to the Ebon Jag, yet they managed to break it. Baffling.

Computer code is wierd. You tweak a few lines here and over there something will break. It might be the most innocuous thing, but it will break.

No, it really is not. It's a sign of a bigger problem somewhere else.

Bugs happen, it sucks, deal with it.

When bugs happen due to seemingly unrelated changes, your statement is exactly the cheap excuse programmers use to hide their incompetence.

Oh! I forgot, they're now called "coders".

But yeah another proof that they don't even care to test the patches they release.

We once had a so-called "software developer" who was assigned to one of my projects. Given that it took me less than 5 minutes to prove -- every bloody single time -- that he never even bothered to test his work on a use case I personally defined in detail for him, well, let's just say he quickly was removed from my said project.
