Re: African Kingdoms + 4.4 Support Thread
I'm not sure, Forgotten Empires was released on a Thursday as well. If it's anyone's fault is the management rather than the devs themselves. Skybox reports to Microsoft so I have no doubt they are pushed to release things before they are comfortable. I think there is a lot of internal testing but not enough outside the bubble of a lab environment.
I think we should show more support for the worker bee's that are in the trenches and taking all the heat on this from the community. I think it's important to keep in mind that HD is getting new features built on an old foundation. It's clear that has caused issues and they are replacing the foundation little by little. If this was a new game built from the ground up I would be about as mad as any of the other guys around here.
HD is a difficult and messy project that I think can be and already has shown some signs of greatness. It needs the support of the community though. If many of you are annoyed at me for defending it and supporting it fine, but I see some good potential for this game. I've already had a lot of fun with it. I'm passionate about this game and will continue to support it however I can.
So why make a patch at the end of the week without testing to see if it breaks two essential features of the game?
