| I wonder why a company like blizzard, with resources like no other company in the gaming business is taking a g e s to release timely patches. Iam trying to think of good reasons but so far i was not able to come up with any. Other game developers and now i have to mention PoE again - get their stuff done on an almost weekly base, while delivering content and major improvements. I mean - they even ask the community what they would like to have added to the game. So, what is wrong here? Hope someone can enlighten me. | ||

| While we totally understand that you would like to see patches more frequently, a high quality and well-polished update is better for the life of a game than the quantity provided. If we tried to rush the patches that we're working on, it would result in us releasing content that doesn't meet our desired level of quality. Posted by: Zeitstopp Patches take time, creating improvements and making changes to such a wide variety of systems requires a lot of work. Iam trying to think of good reasons but so far i was not able to come up with any. Making the changes like those listed in the 1.0.8 patch notes are not as easy as simply tweaking a few numbers. The changes we make to the game are a lot more complicated than what you may initially assume them to be and a great deal of time is required in order to develop, implement, test and prepare every change for a live environment. Because Blizzard is working on 6 big projects at the same time and PoE is just... PoE. Actually, every game at Blizzard has its own dedicated team of developers, so the amount of resources allocated to Diablo III isn't affected by other projects we may have in the works. You can rest assured that the Diablo III team holds it as their highest priority.I don't think Diablo3 patches are top priority. | ||
