Please Budget for Test Servers

[Abhorsen]

Hello,

The release of 13.3 has caused a grave number of coding flaws introduced into the game. It is clear with this patch that the developers are just adding stuff and not testing anything before the release to the main game client database.

Please for the love of all that is holy will you introduce a player base testing system for both Android and iOS systems to test the game. Your game is in critical shape right now from your quality control department lacking in resources and the need for more player base to test everything before a patch is released.

We need the team to communicate with the player base. We need to know what’s going on and how to address this from happening every single patch. This isn’t normal for a business practice. Talk to us!!

There was a similarly disastrous update last fall, and I asked a similar question.

I'm sure nothing has changed.

In fact, the problems could be greatly minimized by implementing a mechanism to roll back the last update to the previous working version. But for some reason they can't do this. They're probably not in 2026, but in 2000, and don't know about Git.

Honestly, this bug has really taken my interest in the game away. Frankly, I don't even want to trust it anymore.

Houve uma atualização igualmente desastrosa no outono passado, e eu fiz uma pergunta semelhante.

Tenho certeza de que nada mudou.

Na verdade, os problemas poderiam ser bastante minimizados com a implementação de um mecanismo para reverter a última atualização para a versão funcional anterior. Mas, por algum motivo, eles não conseguem fazer isso. Provavelmente não estão em 2026, mas sim em 2000, e desconhecem o Git.

eu li a resposta deles do link que você colocou, acredito que eles usaram o chat gpt para responder

Selenium, UI based testing.

As mentioned in another thread, the lack of communication is the biggest red flag. When a company stops talking to it's paying customers, then you know something is seriously wrong.

I fully understand the need for test servers; it seems like a smart way to spot bugs before a full launch. But can they really help shape feedback on gameplay from dedicated players?

There was a great example: before the release of the update introducing the Manufactory, its functionality was tested on a separate server, and I personally participated in it. This allowed us to identify a number of bugs and shortcomings during the testing phase, which were fixed before the update was released to the general public.

Do we have you to blame for not requesting a 1000 limit in production slots?
