228 BW lost 1 game to 3rd rated team, PGI freaked out and made the fix.

Don't get me wrong, I am down to fixing bugs. Just, there seems to be a prioritization based on their preferred clientele.

(e.g. same bug was reported a few months back, not one emergency hotfix was ever assigned. again, BW complained that they lost one to a far inferrior team, and BAM, hotfix, lol)

O well.

Good to know.

(still giving out free mechpacks to top streamers? good to know our money is supporting them too!)

Naw, it was just a co-inky-dink.... MWO would never just listen to a small group of insiders/ Heck, look at the efforts they have put forth to ask us what we want fixed !!! And the speed of those fixes !!! Wow....

(sigh)...........

A bug that causes problems in an ongoing official tournament will obviously have priority for hotfixing, nothing wrong or fishy about that.

id be okay with just not having competitive MWO too, and PGI spending the prize money on actually making the game better

Especially since the community driven leagues seems as, if not more successfully executed, and more populated and they get by with donations from the community and pixel swag from PGI.

So is there a video of this bug in action during the match or are 228 looking for an excuse for their loss and decided to blame it on said bug?

Just curious you know.

There's a clip of it in Dane's video recap of the WC so far...

Aside from Oceanic, was unaware of any of their groups placing better than 3rd in anything in years.

Did you watch the WC finals the past 2 years...?

Don't get me wrong. As much salt as there are in this thread, 228 probably could have won. It really WAS a bug. It's a bug that appear in less than 1% of the match. They might not encounter it for the rest of the event + finals tournament even if PGI doesn't fix anything.

I am just amused at the situation that this issue had existed for what... 1 year ish? that's 2 tournament qualifier + 1 final. and now is the timing of the fix because of 1 game that quite honestly, doesn't really affect anything... BW is still going to vancouver, so yea, whatever I guess.

nope because I dont care.

I would rather have more maps than WC prize support.

.

Wasnt that the Oceanic group? You know, the groups that placed 1st in each region. Aside from that. just check all the MRBC season results.

Wish more bugs that have been around for a long while would crop up during the WC so we could see some real action taken.

Nope, guess again.

Wow!

There's a World Championship MWO Tournament going on and the youtube video has about 660 views! 600 of which are friends and family of the players.

This game is thriving.

I believe the issues lay with: A. Attempts were made to bring it to PGIs attention that were ignored, and B. Having been made aware of it, PGIs utter lack of foresight allowed the issue to affect their prime clientele(MWOWC players in general) on a very public platform, to which I will reiterate the OPs point, is the ONLY reason it was resolved virtually over night...

Otherwise it likely would never would have been addressed... Maybe we should have MWOWC teams start throwing matches to get the other bugs finally fixed.

Given that, still lazy AF, as per usual .
