Yeah put words in my mouth then run away. Real mature. I don't deny BoP has problems at all, I just maintain that the game is playable and fun inspite of them. But learn to differentiate between a bad design decisions and software faults. They are very different.

"Blindly"? Based off many weeks of solid play? OK.

Flashpoint is horrendously buggy though.

EDIT: and don't try to side step your bullshit statement with that lie - what I quoted was very much to do with BoP:

Default QA is time consuming

QA work is a slow process especially in multiplayer where the variables many and can be very hard to replicate.
Variables which include
1 upload/download speed of the various players
2 the various combinations of aircraft being used
3 the various set ups of levels e.g weather time of day
4 number of players
5 stability of network/lan being played across (steam, live, psn)

Then there is all the player actions (which in a 3d environment is alot) in conjuction with those list above; that cause a bug to occur, some bugs maybe be one time bugs that cannot be replicated and are in part due to local conditions on the device in question.
Others are repeat bugs and need to be exactly replicate two or three time to confirm their existence the they get sent to the programmers to be fixed

Understand the process before you whine. They are releasing a fix so they have been working on the probelms where other companies wouldn't have bothered

JUST POSTING to remind you YOUR A BLIND BRAIN WASHED JERK..LOL JUST TESSING,,HAVE NOT MESSED WITH YOU THIS WEEK...

Ok Let me say this and "spain it to me Lucy". MULTI player stuff on the other games I play FORZA and COD seem to be ez to change.Scoring Issues,game styles,etc,etc,and stuff connected to on line play.Is the stuff for multi player different from normal play .My question could things like SCORING and how much you get for a kill and what you get for a death.Is that stuff different from the rest of the game and could things have been changed in the server with out of whole update??????

Sorry, man - I can only understand about every 5th word. Are you asking why BoP needs a full update where as other games can change their scoring systems easily?

I think he's asking why we have to wait for a huge patch when they could've maybe released several small updates to fix small things within multiplayer.

It's more how you string several words together rather than any particular word

To answer durangodoug's interpretation of the question, it's because it costs the publisher money to release a patch, for which they see no return. So it makes more (business) sense to wait and release all fixes at once. That becomes truer the more niche the game.

And remember, they are not obligated in any way, despite what the community thinks, to release any patches. So you can't blame them for doing it in the most cost-effective way they can.

Sorry for double post, but I thought you should all know why the patch is taking so long...
