Bug Fixes and Patch Notes

#1 - Nov. 18, 2011, 12:44 a.m.

So, I've noticed that (for the most part) bug fixes are not listed in the official patch notes, so we're not entirely sure what's been fixed.

I know you guys have an internal bug tracker running, and have kept track of everything reported in here, but I've worked in the industry in the past, and I know how bugs can get ignored for a couple patches and then just get marked as "outdated", as someone assumes they've been fixed (when they really haven't), or someone thinks they've fixed an issue when they really haven't.

So, my question is... If a bug that we've reported in the past persists through multiple beta patches, should we mention it again, or should we assume that you guys have it sitting on the backburner and you just haven't gotten to it yet?

I like the way the Minecraft guys post their bug status updates on the Minecraft wiki. They even let you know which bugs they're ignoring or skipping for the time-being.

As a heads up, this upcoming patch won't be a big of a game changer as the last one was.

However, you bring up a good question, so I'll leave it at this:

If it is not in the Known Issues list, OR it is listed in the "should be fixed" thread but is still not fixed, bring it up again.

I'm doing my best to keep this stuff up to date, but Blizzard is running both a Beta and a full internal build, so a lot will be changing that isn't necessarily a "bug fix for Beta".

TL;DR: Expect to see a lot of the bugs reported in Beta fixed for launch :)
